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

[StrikeIII]

I wanna love a Paps X really bad too. Hopefully that will be soon, real soon. Have a SnP/Sophia waiting for it, lots of other toppers that would do well on it.

Until then I'll love the 18500 SS Edition V3 and 2.1 when they get here (V3 should get here by Saturday, 2.1 early next week). For now the V3 will get a KFL+ Nano, the 2.1 a By Leo Cage/Sophia (until after VaporDay).

SnP with the Sophia on my X is a great combo.

Oh, btw illus, you must find a GP Spheroid. They are a must have. You will understand when you vape it.
They are magical and even better on a Piccolo. First things first though, Spheroid

WHat would be a fair price to pay for a used Piccolo and a used Spheroid?

 

[VapinBill]

It depends on how bad you want it. I would not go above market since you can score one on VapourDay when they come out

Now that's just wrong................ (to torture me). Makes for a very nice rig - thanks for the pic. I run a short Sophia in my SnP with a STR15. Right now it's got a GP ProBase on it as it resides on one of my ProVari Mini's.

I was looking at a pair of them on the classies wondering the same thing. So I did a search of Piccolo and Speroid closed ads to get an idea what folks have been asking for them, what they were actually getting for those that sold. I didn't pull the trigger mostly because there was too much unknown for my liking, and too much being asked for them because of that.

Lol, figured the pic can hold you over until you get a X.

This is what goes thru my mind in the classies. Wanting something but not knowing enough about the item to know whether I'm paying too much or not. So far the sellers I've dealt with have been great.

On another note there are just some items I can't imagine being cloned (GP Anything). Not that I'm saying it's impossible; it just doesn't feel right.

The current Piccolo and Spheroid in the classies are far to much. Especially if the Spheroid may need a new bell and there is a dent(although, he says he doesnt know if the cap screws on or off or is stuck???. The guy says he took it in trade and has never fired or used the set, hmmmmm. He has had the set listed prior for some time with no luck. As much as I love my Spheroids and Piccolos and whouldnt hesitate to own more but something is a bit askew there

 

[Idaholandho]

ScandaL pm'd.

 

[illus101086]

Well I have an idea of what to pay for a almost like new or used spheroid but I was mainly wondering about the piccolo. But to be honest unless the item is in like new condition I'd just rather hold on to my money and wait to get my hands on something new. Cause unlike alot of folks I seem to take very good care of my hardware. Come on Vapourday

All the exact same points I had - the pair I was referring to.

Noob to GP question... has the Piccolo line been discontinued or will more be made? Thanks.

Piccolo V4 to be released sometime later this year

The V3 Piccolo is out o production, there have been a few listed on VapourArt's website in the outlet section. The V4 release is right around the corner(potentially in May) and headed to many of our vape stands shortly . D and I are extremely excited about the V4, it is going to blow the market's socks off.

 

[Spydro]

Thanks Iowa Gal & Idaho. A Piccolo with it's own Spheroid is also in my immediate furure.
I been researching GP for days playing catch up.... lots of posts to weed through, but I'm learning.
Do know I can always ask the family here too though - great forum, great folks.

Had a similar feeling when searching for a good paps v2.5 on the various vaping forums. Guess you need a lot of F5 endurance to find these coveted devices without damage in the classifieds. I was so lucky (after some weeks of educated google queries..) to find two paps v2.5 mods in a very good condition for under $150 (yes, for the both of them) on a gaming forum (the forum had a vaping section), and the seller was happy too, haha (with a GP history of less than two months I suddenly have two paps v2.5 and two paps v3 in front of me). But this was mostly being very lucky, and unless you are desperate for a discontinued version I would certainly wait patiently and be ready for the upcoming VapourDays.

Talking of the two paps versions.. both types are superb devices, but most of you seem to know that already. The GPin in v3 is a huge improvement and the v3 switch is constructed very elegantly with its integrated venting holes, but I must admit I find the v2.5 switch somewhat nicer on the touch. The shape of the bottom edge of the v2.5 is a bit smoother around my “firing knuckle” when using it over a longer time. Guess the X will have an even smoother feel. Not to mention my curiosity about what the switch of the new Piccolo will bring us!

 

[Coldpunk]

I concur about the 2.5 switch. I've got four of them and can't bring my self to part with any.

 

[crss]

I loaned a SS v2.5 set out yesterday... #1325 i miss you today But i know you rock in any hand. Perfect button, great finish, and awesome machining. GP SSv3 #58 my best, best mod. The switch i discovered, lines up with the engravings on the tube. My OCD just is blown away...

 

[Idaholandho]

I have purchased a bit of GP from the classifieds and have had good luck other than one Spheroid which I rebuilt and refinished and has turned out to be AWESOME!

Speaking of Spheroids, some have seen a few of these pics. Photobomb BOOM!

How I used to reference my loop build to the fluff

The finished results of the Mangled Spheroid I bought, Props to the GP PnB tool!

 

[Spydro]

I considered a 2.5 a while back, but it had been dropped and had scuffs, etc. Price was too high to go any further with it because I'd want to restore it to like new if I had it.

I heard tales of Vapor Day, decisions that were to be made for it a couple of days ago and if I remember an update what would be available for it soon after.

Lets not forget, he wanted 450.00 for them at first until you checked him.
