I'm so glad that you're still vaping your X and that your switch problems are behind you. My KFL/R91s work great and look great on mine.

The switch problem, is not totally behind me. I won't know, until I take her apart. I still believe, she did not go back together properly. But, for now, she is working. :)

I thought about keeping it and I probably would have if it were a mini. It was just to big to carry around and I use my X at home.
Figured I'd recoup some of the money and reinvest it into something I'll use.

I did keep my Atmiatique twins so who knows maybe I'll pick one up down the road. Just hoping it works for her like it did for me

Just because I´m interested: how is this switch button be done :confused: could not be a CNC-lathe, I guess (with little know how on metal working though :D).

I thought not to need a V3 :facepalm: but this switch looks soooo nice and sexy and smooth edged, just another great piece of metal art

It is made with CNC-router and the rest parts of the switch as well, this has increased the construction cost much more than in v2.5. We want the mod to be affordable, but it isn't cheap.

The cross shape button serves 4 functions:
1. We moved there the vent holes so the main body has a cleaner look.
2. At the same time these legs help to tighten the negative post which has a screw now as X.
3. It creates a path to drive the movement of button in a precise manner.
4. It integrates top and bottom cap with symmetrical references to cross like shapes.
The switch housing is redesigned to hold a thicker and wider spring, offering better conductivity from v2.5, retaining the same touch feeling of v2.5. The reverse locking combined with the GPin and the thin lip of the switch base needs to turn and push at the same time when we screw the switch into the tube. The precision machining of the button and the top cap and the tube is better than v2.5. The switch and the GPin of v3 are made in Athens, while the top cap and the tubes are made in Sofia for the current batch. All of our machinists in both countries know each other's work and they cooperate frequently. Depending on the batch and the version, our mods or different parts of them are made in these places from the same EU certified 316 SS rods. Synchronising the whole production is an unforgettable psychedelic experience with much traveling and we love what we are doing!

You'll think I'm nuts but cereal, my favorite has always been Special K, with some orange juice instead of milk has been a part of my diet for years. An ex girlfriend who was a vegan turned me onto it about 15 years ago.

Not a ton of orange juice just a enough to soften it up a bit.


Hey at least it have great taste in PV's :)

yuck :blink:

sorry :)

I've always found that vegans take it too far with their diet.

I understand that this is a belief system for them, and I respect that.

All that said, perhaps not eating meat or not buying/using leather - this I can understand.

But no consumption of milk, eggs, cheese..... That I don't understand - there are some very important nutrients in those products very much needed by the human body.....

Anyone gonna report on them receiving said tracking numbers?...I need to have my jealousy directed at actual people

No no no... don't do it!

I'm already jealous enough of people getting their tracking from DOMO, and I still haven't, even though I ordered much earlier from Perseas directly :mad: :blink: :?: :D :D :D

Enough jealousy here already :D8-o :D

Very nice to have her start with a ProVari - more of a chance that she'll stick with it. I have a ProVari and a Semovar, and these are the only reg mods that I'll have - I like to have a reg mod to be safe when making a new build (I don't sub-ohm) - I would not want to be in a situation where I'll pop 3 batteries trying to figure out that the atty is shorting.....

And a Spheroid on a ProVari is very nice :)

We gave a slight priority to some of our American reseller's pre orders, next week we'll ship all of ours :)

No worries Perseas :) As excited as I am to receive my Heron and Paps V3, I'm not 5 years old - I'm not going to start crying because the other boys and girls got their wonderful toys before I did :D :D :D take your time, you know how to run your business - your hardcore followers are a testament to that :)

My Holistic Internist, says 'dairy' is bad. Like I said, she is cruel! :)

Thanks! I didn't know that. I have been eating Rice Chex, because they are gluten-free. A little variety, will be nice. :)

I did a bit of a gluten-free cleanse a few months ago - and still stick to a low-gluten diet now. You would be surprised at how many delicious gluten-free alternatives to "normal" products they make these days, indistinguishable from the "normal" version. Trader Joe's has some great stuff.

You know, the next time someone says "but it's just a metal tube." they should read this post. All the work and thought that goes into the design and then the final product is very impressive. (Oh, and I got my tracking from Domo.) :toast:

Great vape - the Kraken is! For me, the X has formed a permanent union with my Taifun GT. A joyful 23mm marriage, even with a similar finish they seem to be made for each other.




Same here.

Hey everyone :)

I haven't received my tracking number from domo yet, but that's okay. I can be patient for a Heron. Gonna be well worth the wait, I'm sure.

The people that say it is just a metal tube have no point of reference for these things. There are plenty of threaded tubes with switches out there for those people.

These are fine examples of craftsmanship, engineering and design. There is a difference.

I need to get me a Paps, my growing collection will have quite a few Greek mods when I am done :)
