Quick question to P, are you going to come out with a flat top cap for the v3?

Thanks
What the haps buddy! P has mentioned and discussed that there will not be a v3 flat top release at least not planned. Reasoning is due to the less visible air flow channels on the slotted cap. As much as I love the flat tops(I have many, one for each GP along with slotted :)< that is how cool I think they are! I tend to understand and agree with the release. But, if he decides too, I'm in!
Maybe we can start a campaign, picket or just be the happiest vapers ever because again, GP kicks ... :)

I would definitely and gladly get a flat top cap that accommodates a GPin. It's great that GP has been committed to compatibility across Paps releases (exceptions due better tolerances) and we can use a v2.5 flat top cap (I only have one) that is still offered, but it's tough to go back to telescoping pins when you've been spoiled by the GPin.

Again, I would buy a spare GPin if it was offered separately so I wouldn't have to swap out springs. :)

Like I said I would be a fan of a GPin flat cap but, I am completely satisfied without.
It was is tough for me not to keep switching tops for a while. But, like you and many I am still happy with the 2.5 tops. Some of my atomizers just look amazing with a flat top. I have never been fan of the aftermarket hybrid tops. I personally just can't mix GP with other makers parts and some of it is true garbage.
You are talking about a complete GPin correct?

Yeah. I know that it's silly, but then I could have one with the extended pin and one without, and it's a lot easier to swap out GPins then it is to open a GPin up and replace the spring. Don't get me wrong - replacing the spring is pretty easy, I just think that replacing a GPin would be easier. :)

No, I get it brother. Makes complete sense. In fact, good idea economically. I am not that smart, I would just buy another V3 PAPS :).

Hello GP world. Hope the day/night was great.
Wanted to point out, those from New York should get online and check out CASAA's call to action for NY.
The state government is looking to ban the internet sales of juice.
I would def get to fighting proactively, if they can ban a large soft drink it will be easy to for them to pass this crazy waste of money and resource law.

I realized something recently. For those of us that served, fought or fighting for Freedom, we are not free. Nor has there been a freedom fight for a very long time. There is no freedom of religion without persecution, there is no freedom of same sex relationships, there is no freedom of speech, etc. We just have fought to keep the same old crooked politicians in place. Meh, I could go on.
Sorry for the rant but, please stand up for your beliefs.
:)

No apologies needed. The truth will set us free.

We'll do it. The Xs up to # 1000 use a different screw, so we need to have 2 different negative posts as spares.

See, THIS is why I love GP products. King P stands behind them 100%, even with something as trivial as offering positive/negative pins separately lol.

When you say they are different..is there one that is better than the other? And if so, can us that have a sub-1000 serial number use the new version of the negative screw?

    Yup and thats 4000 jobs we have lost. I'm a first generation immigrant and have lived in California since age 3 and appreciate what being in the land of the free and home of the brave has blessed me with and could never take for granted what the many men and women who have fought for this country and made the ultimate sacrifice for us. But things are just turning more and more to .... due to these politicians and government agencies. A democracy as I see it is when the views and values of the people are reflected thru the laws of the land. And it feels less and less like that everyday.

    Thats because, despite what school children are taught on a daily basis, America is NOT a democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic, that likes to think we offer more democratic values and avenues than we actually do. Dont get me wrong, Im do love my country, there are only a handful of other places I would even consider living.

    But not to get all off topic, I did want to mention again the NY Eliquid BAN.

    To my understanding, this will make it so eliquid can't be sold in NY state, to full grown adults.


    Aside from this being quite possibly the most ......ed flucking thing Ive ever heard of, I just don't see the logic.

    all this means, is less revenue for NY state. They can't ban interstate commerce or ecommerce as far as I understand it, so all us vaper are just going to then buy from out of state vendors/online out of state vendors?


    I contacted every sitting member that CASSA suggested for NY residents to contact, I HOPE every other NY Resident is doing or did the same thing.

    It almost seems that there is something diff on the spec. Length maybe? I'll wait for P to define. :)

    Quick question to P, are you going to come out with a flat top cap for the v3?

    Thanks

    In v3, to avoid the creation of 2 types of top caps, we decreased the outer grooves to 1 mm, making a 3D engraving for the air channels, so it is less obtrusive. If you want a flat top cap we have v2.5, but without GPin.

    Hi P! Do you have a non-macro lens picture of the two screws for comparison? I'm just curious to know how they differ. My X's serial number is less than 1000 and its negative screw looks the same as that it the Paps v3, not including the silver plating. Thanks!

    EDIT - the negative screw in my Paps X is definitely different from my Paps v3. The major diameter is smaller on the X's screw.

    Every GP PAPS v3 and all the GP PAPS X with serial numbers above #1000, use the same screw with M4 threading, while the X's below #1000 use screws with M3 threading.

    We'll have spare GPins soon. The v3 top cap permits atomizers with bottom air flow to work properly. I know that most people use atties with side air holes, but honestly speaking, are the minuscule openings of v3 caps annoying enough to create the need for flat top caps?

    Great news on the spare GPin - thanks!

    On a v3 flat top cap, I don't know how many people would be interested, and it might not be worth your time to make them, but I'd buy one. :)

    At this time, I only use KFL/R91s and RDAs that all have independent airflow.

    Maybe do a V3 flat top cap with GPin and just discontinue the V2.5 top cap. I'd buy one or two.

    Honestly P, No. The current V3 slotted caps are perfect. I just looked at ours and think they are perfect. As much as I like the 2.5 flat tops, I have not thought of having v3 flat tops again until this conversation. Imho I am completely content with the form and function of the current slotted cap. Thank you for asking.
