I copy the product's description, because we are off line for restocking now:

GPin Silver Plated Springs

A pair of custom made spare silver plated springs for the GPin, with a silver coating of +15μ. The set consists of one soft and one hard spring, the former is for the GPin of GP PAPS X and v3 while the latter is recommended for the Heron's GPin, although both can be used in many battery modes.

Awesome, thank you Perseas.

By the way, any plans to make a hybrid adapter kit?

Never get caught with your vape down.

No, it is already done by others and we prefer to keep things simple. Adding separate tiny parts between the atomizer and the mod tends to complicate the maintenance more than a hybrid connection upon the atomizer itself. A switch, a tube with M20x1 threading and a Heron gives a hybrid look with only 3 pieces.

PnB tip.
Make sure it's TIGHT >.<

This was trying to polish 2.5 350 tube with Dremel. It seems to have slipped a bit :cry:
Idabro, still have that PnB you were looking to get rid of? Only need half :facepalm:

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't used my PnB yet, but had already planned to use my Foredom tool rather than the Dremels to power it. They're bigger/heavier but the flex shafts make up for that. Way more control, way better chucks to mount it. I have several handpieces for it to pick from, and with the foot rheostat have exact speed control from barely turning to full speed and everything in between.


I'm considering releasing my last non GP from the stable but I like to drip from time to time. I usually don't go below .4 ohms but...

I've never sold anything, just passed a few along to locals wanting to get into vaping. I really need to start selling MOST of my other gear. Probably all of it that I wasn't using after I bought all my ProVari's last year, now most of them and their toppers too since I don't use them much anymore either as I went back to the mech's. Thanks to a buddy in HI that told me about the X, after 15 months I've finally found the mods I was looking for. From my first used PAPS bought only about 7 weeks ago I've dove head first into the GP line big time and haven't looked back.

But ... but this is already out there as X main body.

Check, was on my bucket list - added an X Main Body, extra X switch and the 18650 LUX tube to my order thatg was mainly for more Herons this past vaporday.

Even though I have all the tubes for it I've always ran the V2.1 in '350, sort of as the replacement for the MicroStick and Megalodon that I've been ignoring; same with the SS and LUX 18500's always with 18490's even though I have other SS/LUX V3 tubes/switches; and after always running the X SS and X LUX 18650 I've started using them with some of my 18350 and 18490 batts. The X/Heron combo and my long lung draws sucks a 350 dry pretty fast though. But then so far I've only built sub ohm coils for the Herons, so need to try some built in the 1's in them.

Too funny Yankeebro...



Here's mine...
934FCF67-5875-4158-89E8-E4B75CE1EAE4.jpg

Understand I have two kits.
1. (Shown above) is my travel kit. I need to add a cut piece of fluff just to have it. But I've used the above once maybe twice max.
2. GP main kit: ALL spare parts for the GP line (tubes, springs, caps, etc). That is at home. I don't need that one often. But putting nice spare stuff away and knowing they are a Baggie away is comforting.

Someone here has a closet for their gear. I won't mention any names. :)

I'm officially off the bench :(
Just realized I need extra cash for my daughter's field hockey camp next month. As much as I wants the Ti, I want her to go to camp more.
I'll console myself with a new SS X and I just rescued Lux 2.5 #0082 from the classifieds :D
Kids are more important than vape gear :)
Plus you got 2 consolation prizes :)

When you use your lux 18500 with a 18490, do you have a little battery rattle? I had a little battery rattle when I switched from an 18500 to an 18490. It made sense because the 490 was slightly shorter, but I couldnt adjust the pin on the top cap without loosing connection to my rda (not possible to adjust the rda). So my question is, did you have to switch pins in your top cap to use the 18490? I didnt look at the pin too close. I wondering does it come apart...hummm...

Hope you weren't thinking I was knocking your lack of any supplies in your box. I'm sure you've got a bigger stash.
It's a great little box and holds all my GP extras. Got a little Crown Royal bag that holds stuff like AFC rings and X converter.
Don't have enough stuff for anything bigger :glare:

Yep! As much as I'd love a Ti, we've had too much crap come up lately. In the past 3-4 months we've had to replace our oven, refrigerator and the water pump in my wife's Camry. Lol, we need a third vehicle so the oldest will have a car and the house air conditioner may or may not make it thru the summer. Hoping another Freon charge will get us thru :D
I will be quite happy with my incoming SSX and second 2.5 :)
I'm taking the week off work so she'll have a ride to and from and this'll pay for it.
Maybe Todai'll score one and let me touch it :)

Yes, the provided longer pin is for the 18490 batteries, just unscrew the brass cap of the GPin, remove the short pin, put the other one inside, tighten the cap and that's it.
