I havent cleaned my tubes or changed tips ina while but its my setup im using while working on projects for work!

Still need to get a better matching drip tip for the quasar, thinking about the matching cosmic drip tip. Also I had sold my SS 650 tube with the intent of picking it up again on the next vapour day with extra switches but I miss it now since my quasar is ss .

Quasar, on paps v3 lux 650 with a hybrid kit.

My setup on the go. KFL V2, ohman drip tip and Paps V3

That's the bag I bought. Years. You would think. But, then you start giving some to all your vaping friends to try. Then you think.. hmm.. I guess I should have ordered two bags.

That, I did.

Got a question about the threading on the LUX 2.5 tubes.
I picked up Lux 0397 from the classifieds and it came with a Versa hybrid dripper which is 20x1 threaded. I ordered the LUX 2.5 500 and 650 tubes from Domo and the Versa will not thread onto the top of either tube. It'll screw in just fine to the bottom and so the mod will work fine if I use the tube upside down with the vent holes right by my face. The top cap that came with the LUX will screw onto all of the tubes just fine.
When trying to screw the Versa onto the top threads it goes in a little ways and starts squeaking. I can thread it in more but then it gets really tight and starts to stick and won't go any further. I've scrubbed the threads on everything with toothpaste so the threads are nice and clean.

I emailed Domo about it but the judging from the reply, English is not their first language and the response really didn't make any sense at all.

I can't help you with your question, but I can assure you the owner of DOMO definetly speaks English and would bend over backwards to give the best customer service possible! I hope someone can answer your question for you tho.

I was actually just coming to edit that part out. He's already replied and is looking into it
This sucks as I'm really liking the Versa but don't want to be stuck having to use it only on the 350 tube...or with the tubes upside down.
LOVING the Paps! Lol, look for my 2 Nemesis in the classies this weekend in preparation for next Vapourday

The Paps will definitely retire a Nemesis. I got one thats been on the bench for a while. Maybe we can do a group post and call it "Raising more funds for GP Gear" Sale. LOL

Not all M20/1 threads are created equal. The Paps v2.5 series (and beyond) has a tolerance of 0.05, thus being the finest. While many others could only come around 0.1. Which is why few of the same threaded devices might not mate flush with each other.

I have a few M20/1 devices, while my Paps switch will perfectly couple with the others ~ few of theirs don't on my Paps. Paps machining is better than the best√

 

[Hrathor]

Sometimes threads need to be de-burred too. I lube them up with Vaseline and go back and forth lightly to try and break the edge. Even if it is small and hard to see, a burr will lock it up. Also the pitch can be off a little.

Nice build pix here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/rebuildable-atomizer-systems/503637-gp-heron-vapourart.html

Mine is running 28g twisted kanthal and cotton wick

Depends on what tickles your pallet. I prefer cotton with a 26g micro coil using the cotton topper of the Heron.

Is it sacrilege to put a Youde atomizer on a Paps X? Ha! To be fair, I'm pretty impressed with the Igo-W5 + Crest top cap and it does look pretty fantastic on the Paps X. Then again, the Paps X makes most atomizers look better. It's good like that, hey?

So many ways to do it but simple it's always a good start. 1.2-1.5 ohm with cotton is awesome and easier to change out imo. Dual coil, topper, flufless. I'm almost jealous you have so many options!

Yep, Youde is good! Oh, that rhymes too! They have consistently doled out many solid RBA/RDAs, the iGO series being one such. I was this close to grabbing the quad-coil W6 (I think it was the W6) the one with the Henna patterns on its circumference.

I made 100+ calls and finally picked up a Zenith V2 Atomizer. It was on display and the dude was pretty helpful removing it from the shelf and waiting for me to make an account and buy it All that talk about drippers made me want one for myself. Hope it turns out good.

More off topic randomness , too amazing not to share.

 

[Gunnygt49]

Are they made in Japan? What's the half-life on 'em?


sent from my magical brick

Yes according to the package is says made in Japan. Not too sure how long it lasts for, as I change every week or so regardless of the status.

 

[cliffy15]

hmm... maybe a comparison is in order...

 

[illus101086]

Thanks for all suggestions you guys I definitely have alot of testing and vaping to do when it gets here

I'm a little nervous, my wife went out with the girls and she wanted my V3 and Heron. I'm hoping it comes back in one piece and not all scratched up as she just threw it in her purse. She does not vape but she's always asking to use mine once in a while when we are out drinking. I must of explained how to use it and to not scratch it up a million times before she left door. She said "gosh it's like leaving your daughter with a baby sitter for the first time". I said "it sure is!" Lol
