GP Series by VapourArt - Official Thread for GP Spheroid, GP PAPS, X, GP Piccolo, GP SnP and more - Part 2

Totally agree and not just GP for me, anything really. I love the thrill of the chase and the feeling when you finally score.
Honestly, nothing better for me than getting the order receipt and checking back at the site to find out it's out of stock already. Yes, it makes me feel special.
By 14:26 I noticed almost everything I ordered was out of stock.

So I wake up this morning to a shipping notice
One down, one to go. My two order numbers are 251 orders apart (16316 and 16567).
Anyone know if DHL delivers on Saturday? Otherwise I'm betting things will show up on Tuesday since Monday's a holiday.

Can't wait! Giggity giggity...

You got a shipping notice already?
Lucky Lucky

Hopefully I get mine today. Wanted here for the weekend.

GVC. Good to enjoy from the mailbox. But it gets even better with age.

Excellent, great to know...thanks a lot for the info!!

Orders shipping today may be delivered Friday. When my order ships on a Monday, Wednesday DHL is knocking on my door.

I can hope! I'm off Friday for our new fridge being delivered so 4 day weekend coming up. Having vapemail on Friday would make my weekend much better than sitting there all weekend waiting for Tuesday.
I noticed my shipment has been picked up by DHL so fingers are crossed.

@VapingBill: Is your order number before or after mine?

 

[VapinBill]

Got sent to my spam folder. I got it yesterday.

 

[VapinBill]

My numbers are 16614 and 16408.
Just got my shipping notification.
Thank you, P. You guys are so awesome!!!

 

[jrs99]

16316 shipped
16567 not shipped yet.
So we're somewhere between 16316 and 16408 it looks like.

Aww man...you guys know that feeling after a credit card binge where you're scared to login to your bank website and see the damage??? Yeah, I got that bad right now. This is my first venture into rebuildables and Mech. mods, and I love quality machining and innovative design so I sorta broke the bank this week after 2 years on a provari and only spending money on juice and prefab (cheepie) attys. I guess it's not SO bad since I've spent so little on vaping after the provari purchase. hehe, o well, here is the damage:

PAPS X SS, Origen V2 dripper, Aqua by Footoon (though I should have waited and got a Heron! *DOH*), Kanthal, wicks, and cotton of different materials and sizes, Pro-rings by Loki, X Ring, and Sony VTC5 batts,

For you mech. vets out there, is there anything I missed or should try and get to make the foray into rebuilding on a mech. a successful one?

 

[jpcwon]

Aqua by Footoon (though I should have waited and got a Heron! *DOH*),

I too wish I got a Heron yesterday, but the Aqua is definitely nothing to sneeze at (not saying you are, just wanted to throw it out there... ). It is a wonderful atty IMO that will serve you well....

But it sounds like you have some nice quality stuff coming your way!! Have fun!

Yeah, I think you are right.

Yeah, buddy. Had I not preemptively pulled the trigger on the Aqua, I would have dropped the coin on a Heron yesterday. They just look so amazing on GP mods! Since I'm overseas, I was trying to order stuff to get here in the mail so I was ready to go when a Mod. I wanted actually showed up in stock, but it looks like that may have backfired a bit. Eh, I can wait!

Yeah...my plan yesterday was to grab an SS Paps v3 and a Heron, but I ended up with 2 mods instead....oh well, there's always the next Vapourday (or Domo when they get their stock in).......but enjoy that Aqua, I know you'll love it! The Aqua is a classic example of me buying the clone, then buying the original becuase I liked the clone so much!

I'm not above buying affordable stuff from China, but when something rides in my pocket all day, everyday, and gets used everyday, the enjoyment I get out of the real thing is immeasurable! All my edc stuff, mods, knives, carry guns, leather wallet, hell, I live in Italy so I even got a rugged man purse (in Naples, that's what you carry so you don't get pick pocketed) haha. I just love having things that are ultimately reliable and exceptionally beautiful. That's what drew me to the paps...and maybe huge, hardhitting clouds.

 

[jrs99]

I had the opposite experience. I got the Hcigar nemesis and had it in my hands 10 minutes and realized what a piece of crap it was and ordered a real one.
I'm with Pocketgroove. This thing is in my hand 24/7 so I want a quality made tool, not some cheap chinese knock off.
Speaking of EDC, I've carried the same Benchmade Stryker 905 for 16 years and had the same Coach leather wallet for the last 10 years or so. It's been washed a few times even. I do kinda wish the wallet would die because I've been eyeballing the wallets from Saddleback leather and want one. Just can't justify it at the moment.

haha...glad someone here knows what EDC means! I have a Benchmade 710 that might as well be a surgeon's blade, but I'm a Spyderco guy. I have respect for any man who appreciates great leather products, and my god...I'm pretty sure that saddleback 100 year warranty doesn't get used very often.

Don't forget a multimeter! It will be worth having, especially if you go to Heron or other hybrid that you can't thread onto the Provari.

"just have your descendants contact my descendants and they'll make it right" Definately one of the greatest warranty statements I've ever heard.

Have one new Spheroid and two new Heron's coming, so I guess I'll need to lay in a supply of WOOL.

Sera, Juwel, Acurel, Aqua One, H.Q. Farquartz or MMG.... any reason one is better than the others?

Any other pointers on them I need to bone up on?

Thanks.

GP fluff is the best but is you want to try Sera wool I'm sure there are many of us that will send you a lifetime supply of Sera wool.

 

[Akdare]

I made a dog bed with my lifetime supply of Sera...

Thanks old friend, that say's it all. It was out of stock for my first order the other day, I forgot to add it to the Vapor Day order, I won't forget on the third order.

No dogs here, just attack parrots.

I don't know how King P can ship worldwide with dhl for only 15eur or so, I tried to ship a small package from the us to Ukraine and dhl and FedEx wanted to charge me over 100usd. The item itself I sold for only 70 bucks. I think I'm just going to send it usps without tracking and hope the person doesn't scam me. *cross fingers*

I give mad props to King P! Shipping price is very reasonable.
