but just in case anyone is wondering, the lux tubes do tarnish a lot slower than naval brass which is just copper and zinc, bc this is what naval brass looks like after a week or so of not polishing, yuck.



my coworkers lux tubes dont half the patina that is on those rings after a week

yeah i dont think I'll be getting another all brass mod, the tube is ok but having to polish an entire switch and top cap locking ring, threads, 510 connector with the tiny little threads, out of brass every week or so, sucks lol

Did you see Perseas's photo of the treated Lux tube that will not change patina? I believe it will be a high temp lacquered finish to preserve the finish.

Hello guys, just a short update, before I go for a nap.

We are checking the SnP units for this week's run, till now all is good. In 7-10 days, we shall have the GP Piccolo v2.6 and v3.1 for a limited and last run and we are going to keep some units for support. A few units will be given to our resellers.

After 6 months of changing CNC shops and making different revisions, we decided to stop the current design as extremely counterproductive. The making of the switch is quite time consuming and the tolerance we got in the moving parts is satisfying, but not excellent. The GP Piccolo will circulate again with a new design for the switch, alike with the v2.5 switch.

The upcoming v2.6 and 3.1 switch's design of the GP Piccolo limited run, will be present in GP PAPS X, but more developed and with extreme machining precision, the kind we wanted to have for the GP Piccolo in the first place. This week, I'll post photos of the GP PAPS X, before it goes for production.

The high temperature lacquered LUX tube proved to be a PITA, its lacquer peeled off, when I rubbed with keys & other mods intentionally, so we'll forget it.

That's all for now guys and gals, I'll catch up with you later :)

I personally like the look of the tarnished brass, has a steam punk glow to it

sometimes i like the look, too. i haven't polished my lux, for instance, but i tend to polish my brass mods every once in a while. level and speed of tarnish definitely depends on body chemistry and the juice you're vaping.

QBro! IMO - I dont personally think the Bagua is NOT good enough for anything GP. Sorry. There is no better pair than Greek on Greek as I have posted in the past imo. I am just not a fan of anything about it and I know Chickenboss has 1 or 2. Nothing against Yellowkiss as he knows his voltage drops but I just dont care for the Korean insperation or well....anything.
Love ya man!

I hear u iBro... I'll enjoy my Ba Gua till Perseas doles out this...



What d'ya say?

It could be a game changer if Perseas does manage to fix it up, I'd quip!

Materials / Dimensions etc.

Will the paps x not have a switch like the piccolo v2.5/v3's now? I kind of like that switch design, I had to polish up the threads a bit on our 2.5 piccolo but now its pretty damn smooth, I do love the paps 2.5 switch though, so im sure whatever changes you come up with will be awesome.

Just saw a neat little trick on YouTube.

IGO-L base with bigger o-rings so the Aga-t 22mm cap fits and slides rite down to the paps.

Materials / Dimensions etc.

Materials: EU certified 316 SS for the mod, brass for the contacts and optional precious metals are still under investigation.
OD: 23 mm.
Mode: 18350, 18500, 18650 with extension sleeves (X stands for eXtension).
Length: Exact dimensions will be given, the moment we'll start the production.

The GP PAPS X's default configuration has airflow control and an optional flat top cap for genesis atomizers will be released.

This run comes mostly to support the current GP Piccolo owners and it will not be produced again with that design of switch.
This switch will appear in a developed form as the switch of GP PAPS X. The GP PAPS 6th revision is ready and after few tests the production starts.
