Will the piccolo V3 be back soon?
Loving the spheroid and wish you make a big brother version of it

GP PICCOLO v2.6 & v3.1
ETA: Last days of May 2013.
There will be backward compatible parts as spares for GP Piccolo v2.5 & v3 owners. The new version supports AW & EFEST IMR batteries and we got rid of the big spring on the negative pole. More details and photos when the production starts again after the Easter holidays.

HAPPY EASTER PERSEAS! I hope you have a great day off my friend.
Spheroid...
Checking coil with a little juice -
Than all of a sudden -
Time to but tube on now I think....

GP SPHEROID TIPS & TRICKS
From the VapePit forum, further implementations on the Herby68 method, about using mesh instead of filler material.
By sixfootmidget, on 07 May 2013:
So I sat down and cut a load of strips of mesh. Roughly 40mm by a good 150mm.i folded it into 3 ply width ways and wrapped it tightly. Put it in the tube and it unravelled to the point of useless. I undid the tube, folded another strip roughly the same size as the first and it still wasn't enough. Cut the 3rd strip in half, wrapped them tightly one after each other as opposed to on top of each other.
I thought I'd measure exactly when I'd finished to give an accurate figure, but the truth is, I was so happy with it that I didn't want to take it apart. If you look closely you can see where one ends and another begins.
I filled it up and couldn't believe how well it holds juice. Not a drop leaked while I was re wicking.

Ok so I gave this a quick go..
From what I could gather this was done with 600mm of #400 mesh, so instead of using 4 strips of 150mm I cut one 300x38mm and folded it in half lengthwise, the idea being that the sharp, cut edges would be up in the top of the Spheroid, away from the wick where it would grate at it when screwing the bottom on but would still use the same amount of mesh, I only had #325 though..
I folded both the outer and inner bottom corners up and pre-rolled it..
Inside the atty I wasn't happy that there appeared to be not enough mesh, there were gaps that looked like the juice would piss out of, so I battered the edges down with a small screwdriver..
Filled it with a bit over 2ml of juice and upended it to see if it would leak..
Ten minutes later, not a drop..
Results.. Not bad, I think that doing it the way I did probably isn't the best way, I am going to try it again though because it tastes better, maybe adding another 150mm of doubled mesh this time, if anything it is over wicking. I don't mind the amount of mesh it uses because once done it should last years and hopefully will negate the need to keep replacing filler but it needs tweaking. It's possible I over-filled it though..
I am not doing it the way.herby68 did it (although every credit to him for a promising idea) because I don't like the thought of a wall of sharp cut edges grating away at a silica wick every time you refill, to my mind that's asking for trouble.. It seems to taste better, don't know if this is in my head but it's enough to keep me interested enough to keep tinkering with it 
I am also going to try a mesh wick in this tomorrow and see how that performs..

To all of you who are using mesh, I'd recommend that you at least boil the mesh before using it. If you take some mesh, put it in a cup and pour boiling water over it, once the surface of the water is still, you'll see a film of oil. Not something you'd really want to be vaping!
Perseas Notice
Keep your resistance value at 1,6-2,2 Ω for the best throat hit and better battery efficiency.
No need to go below that numbers except if you are a lover of an intense throat hit.

Finally!!!!!
Thank you Perseas for this great news, I've been waiting for the v3 two tones as my main allday set up.
Would it be possible to offer a batch of polish Spheroid at the same time in order to save on shipping fees
?Happy Easter holidays !

We shall have Spheroids too in the same batch, yep!
You mean that I will finally get this gorgeous set up in my hand by the end of the month? I can't wait! Thank you very much for this great news!
I got my GP spheriod in a trade today and I'd like to replace the o-rings. Does anyone know of a place here in the States that I can get some? Shipping costs from over seas is impractical.
I think I have some extra, Ill check and just refill myself with my next order. Do you need all 3?
Is it possible to purchase 18500, 18650 "brushed finish" tubes for the Paps 2.1 ?
Thanks for the offer! The reason I wanted to do this was because the spheriod had a tobacco flavor in it before the trade and I knew changing the o-rings would get rid of it.. I just took it completely apart and was able to clean all the parts plus the o-rings and now the tobacco flavor is gone. The o-rings are fine. So I don't need them.. thanks so much anyway!
The main reason I traded for this was because I kept hearing about the wonderful flavor that the spheriod gives. I'm disappointed because I'm not getting that flavor. Maybe my peanutbutter mix just isn't jiving with the silica, if I remember correctly, it wasn't very good with the IGO-L either. I'm going to try a fruit flavor and see if I can get a cleaner flavor.
There are juices that work better with certain types of atomizers.
I haven't tried yet the peanut butter mix

We haven't produced yet tubes with brushed finish, but we shall do it in time.

I would think it would be awfully difficult to get peanut butter to wick properly!
