I just wish paypal would act up like this when my wife is doing her online shopathon..... I would have much more money to blow on toys!
So I finally have a minute to spare for writting something about this little device.
I'm using it topped with an Igo-L and Igo-S.
It is LITTLE. In 18350 mode it is hidden by my hand pretty much, and I don't have very large hands. True stealth vape if that's something you've been looking for! I'm still getting used to it, lol...went from an eVic, to the lightsabre VAMO, to the Natural, then my PAPS. Its 18650 mode is far more natural feeling to me so far, but I'm starting to love the smaller 350 setup for some reason...I can't explain it, heh.
The bottom button...my first bottom button device, and well, I can see it becoming a problem. I wish there was some type of 'guard' so you could set it down while unlocked and it wouldn't fire. Granted, it's a simple flick of your two fingers to engage/disengage the lock (very easy), I can totally see myself setting it down, or passing out with it, while I'm indulging in some drinks a little too much.
Maybe it's just something I will get used to over time.
I took perseas' advice and tightened on the bottom first, then screwing on the top, and it has fixed my problem of unscrewing the bottom cap while engaging/disengaging the button lock. THANK YOU! I still think I don't have it set up perfect though. The actual button spins while everything is together, and I don't know if it is supposed to. I have the nut in the switch tightened all the way but it's not 'locked' in place, the entire button assembly spins inside of the bottom cap unit. Not a problem I must say, but it feels like it shouldn't do this?
All in all, BEAUTIFUL little device...I'm quickly falling in love with it. Perseas and crew, two huge thumbs up on you alls work! I still need to fiddle with it some to get it perfect, but this PAPS is awesome, and your company's customer service is incredible. A+ work...keep it up and you're destined for a bright future!

Bottom buttons are a acquired taste, believe it or not you will subconciously "program" yourself to spin the locking mechanism down, you"ll end up preferring just one tube size over the others, for me it's the 18800, the smaller ones jus seem to " tiny" ,
I was using my Provari last night (I've been neglecting it since I got my GP Paps). I set it down on the table and instinctively panicked, picked it up, and tried to spin lock the non-existent bottom button.

Compared to another mechanical I once owned, which had a funky switch housing to allow unlocked standing, I much prefer the paps switch and lock. Not only because the throw in the PAPS is so short and easy, but I had to think way too hard to fire the one with the funky housing, which only allowed you to hold the mod one way. Bottom buttons can be a PITA, this switch is one of the main reasons I bought a PAPS.
I can admit there have been two times in the past that I have set my PAPS down and burnt the sht out of my wick, coil and juice on my ZAU. Both times within 24 hours. Talk about a smell and taste issue...I boiled the ZAU, replaced juice, ss wick and recoiled.
Wasn't even hammered.
It happens to the best of us.

Took me an hour trying to replace an old switch...then I found the new nuts are reverse thread onto switch. Somedays I suck.
Think it's a carto tank, if its ss with glass I'll probably get one, think there was a pic some where but can't seem to find it,,,,
Saw a protype pic on vaporwall. It is indeed a cartotank with ss caps. Based on what perseus said, it has a unique refilling feature and will have a glass tank. Just wanted to know if there's any news on it.
Meh, nope, not a yadda, but a sandard carto tank would do me, lets be honest, how many "unique" filling systems are out there?, I've lost count, as long as it works, I'll pay for it,,,
Oh no. I don't think that's what Perseus meant by "unique filling feature". I think it's more like a trap tank with the screw in the top cap or something to refill easier as opposed to UFS style. But who knows. Perseus, care to chime in?
Anyone having/had this problem?
Every once in a while my button will get hot when I'm firing the device. Its not every time, but im thinking its user error in setting the button up wrong.
Any suggestions?

Hi Perseas,
I have a new Piccolo and I think my switch has a small problem. At first (see prior post here) I had a difficult time getting the Piccolo setup correctly such that it did not just fire constantly without pushing the button. I did get that solved by reading the threads here and adjusting both the top and bottom screws.
however, the locking mechanism seems to have a problem. When I very gently turn the switch to lock position then back to unlock position there is a small "grinding" feeling in the switch. I thought that maybe a tiny piece of grit, dirt or metal shaving may be in the threads somewhere in the switch so I disassembled the switch, put all the parts in grain alcohol washing all the parts carefully then reassembled the switch. Same problem. Also, about every 10th to 15th time I turn the switch to the unlock position, the switch gets "locked" where I am unable to turn the switch to the lock button positon. In other words, the switch is locked into the unlocked position.
I thought maybe the switch just needed to be gently turned to the unlocked, locked, unlocked, locked & etc postion maybe to "break in" in the switch. I've been sitting here very gently turning the switch back and forth (lock, unlock) for about 30 minutes now. It still has the small grinding feeling near the unlock position and still locks into the unlock position randomly..
Any suggestions on what I should do?
