Expext them in 5-14 days from now, they are still in production.
I haven't used an 18650 battery in a long time, but I needed to get a full set of tubes to complete the collection. Not including the 18800 tubes, I have full tube sets of the GP Paps 2.1, 2.5 SS, and 2.5 LUX. I'm in too deep to stop now.
I thought I would do a quick and easy pictorial on polishing a GP top cap with the PnB tool.
I believe everyone with any skill level should buy a PnB as they make polishing very easy.
Here is the top cap that I chose. It has swirls from atomizers and a couple of marks that I have no idea where they came from.

Preparing the top cap, I remove the telescoping pins and the insulator from the underside of cap.

Next, screw the male 1/2 of the PnB in the underside of cap

Pick your drill of choice. I prefer a heavier drill than my Dremel as to me it is easier to sabilize the heft of the drill. Many will find a Dremel much easier due to the smaller size.

I use wet dry Gator sandpaper for the job and soak the small pieces of in water for 5-10 minutes prior to use and continue to dip in water when polishing. Here are the grits I use consistantly(320 - 2000 grit)

NOTE - I prefer to start with the lowest grit and move up in sequence. I do not move from 320 straight to 2000 as I found it sometimes gives the ss an inconsistent finish.
Folding the sandpaper in 1/2, I hold it firm on the cap and only use one finger for slight pressure. I use the drill ad medium rpm's and very slowly move the sandpaper back and forth on one side of the center hole. Remember to keep the sandpaper wet.
If you want to keep your fingers clean wear some latex gloves!

Going through each grit shown above and finishing with the 2000k grit the entire process took approximately 3-4 minutes
Here are the results

Make sure and pick up your PnB from VapourArt or Domo Vapor Co.
Brown Line?
Okie dokie. I'll check in a second. I have to count how many possible places in Germany my herons can take a break at*close to wiping tears. PM

Sorry, one more Paps X photo bomb session. Boring commute home today...

You stole my setup![]()
yes, good call!
O.K.. My X, will now have a backup X.
What did you guys do to me? I was done. Then, you guys......![]()
You have 2 ELAs - might as well have 2 Xs![]()
LOL, the seats seemed to be in too good of a condition, so I eliminated the Red, Green, and Blue Lines as possibilities.
If I apply that logic, I need to start buying more Xs. I have more ELAs coming.![]()
Lol. Yup, I sometimes take the brown line to get a nice clean seat before I transfer to the red line. At least the red line has mostly all new trains but I dont like the new seating arrangement.

4 ELAs - you must REALLY love'em
I would love to have a 2nd X, but I feel like I need some variety - at least in color - so, I'll wait for the Lux - both the Paps V3 and the X
