[perseas]

Good morning Perseas, would you be willing to post a couple pictures of the V3 switch in both the locked and unlocked position, just trying to wrap my head around your beautiful design. Thank you sir, can't wait for this vape mail !!!

Good morning

First photo, it is locked, the second one shows it unlocked.

I am shooting in my kitchen with an iPad, it is night here, I really need a macro and better lighting conditions, but you get the idea

Beautiful. This one will not leave the house too often. I'll let my X get scuffed up and be the workhorse for on the go.

This needs to be further explained, what does it mean one piece ? GPin consists of 6 pieces.

What I mean is that the entire unit unscrews as a single piece. When I remove it, it comes out assembled and whole - everything but the delrin insulator. All one piece. I had tried a few times (half-heartedly) to take the pin apart into it's individual pieces, but it was kinda held together quite well so didn't really pursue it.

If you took it apart, it wasn't tightly screwed in the first place. it happens, but it isn't an issue.

Agreed. It just kinda finally came apart instead of coming out all in one piece like before.

Clean the threads and if it doesn't screw correctly, you have forced it in a previous attempt and you miss threaded it. Check if the positive pins are seated properly, if not, you won't be able to close it.

I will do this, but I promise I never forced it nor am I trying to force it now. What I've done is put the whole gpin back together, and am trying to screw it into the delrin/top cap as before. It always went in and out smoothly, never had any problem whatsoever. Until now. It just won't go in straight!

Mechanical mods and atomizers are devices for people who understand how the current works and fear is the worst adviser. Calm down and take apart everything,

Yes you are right, and I admit I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree, especially when it comes to all this electrical stuff. But I do try to be as knowledgeable as I can and am always learning new things.

look whether you have screw way more than it should the plastic insulator of the GPin, forcing the positive post to touch the top cap. Check also if you have tightened the cap of the GPin.

I'm going to try and take the gpin apart again, then put it back together again. But I'm not sure I know what you mean by the above...I can't even get the pin threaded into the insulator. I think i may be misunderstanding something here?

You have to take apart the Spheroid and check if there is anything missing like the 510 insulator, the internal or the external one. Check the condition of the positive post's insulators and check also if the positive post touches the bell, when you close it. Any wire from the positive post touching the deck can create a short circuit. Use a multimeter to find if there is a short. Spheroid is a completely mechanical device and if something is wrong, it will be visible.

This I will do, once I get my PAPS X up & running again. I do find troubleshooting the spheroid to be quite easy, and have always been able to figure out what's wrong fairly easily. It's the last of my issues right now.

Thanks Perseas for your advise and support.

I love that you moved away from laser engraving! Sexy!

You need a second Bro. One will be designated for home one for mosh pits .
BTW, I think you said the same about the X

Now that's just awesome!

Ok how's this then lol. The 18500 tube will stay at home , 350/650 for outside use.

I really really did intend to keep my X at home , but I can't stop using it ! I has to go everywhere with me. It was actually still in near mint shape till yesterday when it tumbled off the desk and got scuffed up. Oh well so be it.

 

[yankeebobo]

Damn. This heron vapes like a dream.
Doh....gotta go.

Now your thinking. They are tools to be enjoyed by us and craved by all that see.

It is easy, you have only to unscrew the cap of the GPin, while it is still attached into the top cap.

Look here what I mean. In case you forced it beyond the end of its threading, it will touch the top cap creating a short. If you want to open the GPin, you simply tighten the insulator with the fork into the top cap, then unscrew the cap of the GPin.

Straight forward , to the point and exactly right. Well said P.

Problem is, I can't get it attached to the top cap now. So I have to figure out a way to get it apart without damaging anything and it's so tiny it's kinda hard to hold on to it

I was looking for this before and couldn't for the life of me find it! Was looking in the wrong thread. Ugh!

But again, my problem is that I cannot attach the pin to the insulator which is in the top cap. It tries to go in at a slant. And I don't want to force it and damage the threads of the pin nor the insulator.

Would it help if I posted a couple of pics?

 

[qorax]

Hmm, all pics gone !

 

[perseas]

Hmm, all pics gone !

I hosted them on tapatalk, who knows what happened!

Yes, but is the insulator still attached in the top cap? Use the fork to unscrew it from there.

 

[TruSound]

Thank you sir...gorgeous

[perseas]

Idaho said previously that he will put them on the Calivapers forum, so he took them all

 

[wildvet]

Yes it is. I initially tried to put it together w/ insulator NOT in the top cap but was having trouble getting it on straight. So I put the insulator back on the top cap hoping it would be easier.

I tried to upload a pic but tapatalk isn't having any of that

The correct order for a better leverage is to put the pin for the atty inside the base of the GPin, then screw that part into the insulator, throw the spring inside and take the cap of the GPin having put the pin for the battery inside beforehand. Then, apply it upon the rest of the GPin and turn it clockwise to tighten it pressing firmly downward to compress the spring. Finally, screw the whole part inside the top cap, tightening it slightly with the fork and voila!
