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

I cannot understand how that has happened, 21:00 Athens time is the hour of the Vapourday, that means 18:00 GMT or 19:00 BST and I see that announcement every time I visit the site and it is the same.

I believe you P because I have not personally seen it change either.

From VapePit forum, I found it funny.
This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last (Oscar Wilde)
The truth is that this is the biggest multi batch we've done till now.
Fingers crossed.

Need some Piccolo V3 help. Recieved the one I bought today, and it appartently has issues.

The switch cap turned in and out as if to lock on and off, but wouldn't push in to fire. So I decided to take the switch off, and that turned into a chore as it was very tight. I had to use a jar cap pad to finally get it. Found rusty threads that was probably the culprit. Realize I have never even seen a Piccolo before, so I was treading lightly and using the exploded view diagram on VaporArts website for reference. First picture is as far apart as I can get it without forcing anything. If it's suppose to be the same as the diagram it is missing 2 springs (#9 & #6). If it is suppose to come further apart it looks like it would take using hammer and punch or pliers.

Since there are no spare parts available.... suggestions. Thanks.

Also got my package from VaporArt... no issues. exactly as ordered.

The diagram shows a GP Piccolo v3, while you have a GP Piccolo v3.1 that has no need for the 2 extra springs, because we have changed the insulator and the negative post.

Pull the locking square nut (2) out of the button and clean it well, before you assemble the nut inside the switch base, otherwise it won't work. Don't screw the nut all the way inside the housing of the switch, leave 1-2 turns out before you insert the button.

Put the necessary files on a stick. Then leave the stick at your desk. Guess what you "forgot and have to go back for".

You gotta drop the kids off at the pool aka bathroom break

I can get yours. Send me a PM if you want. Can save on shipping too.

You know the deal bro . We have done this before

I did not see this before posting. Good looking out.

Thanks for all the suggestions and offers! Thanks Darkgear for the offer... I'd love to combine shipping, normally, but an issue has come up today that I believe I'll have to take up separately with P and crew.

Yankee/Sparc: good suggestion ... for tomorrow I think I'm going to go with brief incompetence over incontinence and try to escape for a few minutes to get my order in

Thanks, Idabrah, as always for your generosity... again!

I love this place! Did I mention I love my Paps? ;-)

Whew...that's good news...mine must have been the more updated as well cause I didn't find all of those springs on mine Oh by the way...have a second one on the way and just can't wait

All good bro, it got sorted out. Iowa sent me three sheets and those should last a few weeks (I rewick often) , Bill is going to send me a few too. Hopefully I can get some sorted out without ridiculous shipping to canada. I found some in the US but they wanted 28$ for shipping here which for obvious reasons I refuse to pay lol.

On a long enough time line maybe I'll reach out again , we shall see, I hope to find a box at some point.

Hope your surgery goes well.

It is available in Canada. And ships for just $8 CAD

Wondering why this was even your concern and you infer that the others are lying with this post. Now what if everybody that didn't see it replied. We would have even more contention. Just sayin.

PS. psst, Looks like Sephora has a store in Canada for KGD as well as Barney's ships.

Thanks Q , for some reason I didn't see that page in my searching !

 

[Idaholandho]

Seriously Q? Love you Bro.

Short answer:

Just read the hour at your local time that the timer says and forget the GMT, BST, DST, all these are explanations.

This works. My brain is in shut down mode.

I cannot understand how that has happened, 21:00 Athens time is the hour of the Vapourday, that means 18:00 GMT or 19:00 BST and I see that announcement every time I visit the site and it is the same. The Vapourday category in the store says 19:00 BST from day 1, because I wrote it myself. We have 2 timers and one category plus my posts referring all the same time. I don't know what changed in the script, but here it remained the same. Next time I will triple check the script of the timer.

This to be filed under "TimeZoneGate".

After reading your post I just typed KGD Cotton on my Mac ~ and voila that was the first link, at the very top!

Path I wish you speedy recovery. I hope it's the lap kind.

oh my god

It's not at the top on Bing on my phone. No matter , I know about it now. Reading through the reviews on that site there is another brand that people speak higher about so I might give that a try and compare them.

 

[chadsmo]

Haha, I just realized something. When I'm at home I'll often put my phone on a DNS in California because of some American only services and apps I like to use for music etc. when I search for stuff and I'm on that DNS I pretty much get zero Canadian search results , especially with Bing. Just moved it back to a Canadian DNS and it shows up right at the top now.

D'oh.

 

[Idaholandho]

oh my god

OMG funniest sequence of posts ever the last two pages!

VPNs are only good for certain things. But those things it's good for are important. Looking up a local pizza place is not one.

Sorry to keep discussing it (since it doesn't really matter to me), but I misspoke earlier when I said that I got the time from the Vapourart website. Instead, I got it from the link in your post in the Notifications thread. That link shows Vapourday in local Athens time and has a countdown timer, but it does not convert to local time. I did the conversion by adding the remaining time to my local time (at the time) and it's very possible that I just got it wrong. Perhaps I just got too caught up in the euphoria of the coming Vapourday.
