Yes, it does. The problem is it says 4am Sydney time - based on 18:00 GMT. But if the Vapourday is really at 18:00 Athens time, as opposed to GMT, then it will be 1am, which is slightly more human
I could, of course, be having a brain failure ... now it says 15:00 GMT and 1am Sydney. If you haven't changed anything Perseas, I probably need to lie down in a darkened room
No, I am the one who needs to lie down in a darkened room, you caught me twice in less than a week, all fixed now

LOL. I'm beginning to think you're trying to discourage Australian buyers!
Discourage? No way. Although I do find Perseas likes to keep us on our toes some.
You know, I really love the switch on the Ti, but I'm wondering is it really the switch or the weight of mod material. It's basically the same switch as the X correct? But why does the Ti switch seem easier to press? It's so easy (if that's the correct word) to use. Either hand and/or any finger. Fascinating mod! What's amusing to me is, I'm using my X today and I'm thinking "geeez, this thing is soooo heavy". It's really not, but it's funny to me that after using the Ti I'm like "oh no, I don't want to carry around the X - I want to carry the Ti!
But you ARE carrying around the X in either case.
Seriously. The weight difference is just enough in some ways. The 650 mode depending on the topper almost gives it the feel of top heavy. The switches all fire the same in the Xs I have. Smooth, anywhere, perfectly, finger tap, in the palm, on and on. But you know this so I'll attribute much of this to the same as we all have. Giddy excitement over the Ti itself.
But even more seriously, if all Xs do not fire the same, it's likely long overdue for a bath in the switch at least.

Yes, the X's switch all feel great. I think the Ti switch feels slightly different (in a good way) because of how the Ti texture slides together with the SS or AB.
"When the threading is new, no matter how well is cleansed or lubed, work on it back and forth under tap water to remove the tiny particles that the developing friction releases between the threads. Do it for a while, and the threading will take its final shape."
thanks perseas, this freed it up for me.

Perseas, can you explain the mixed finish spheroid please? I'm assuming it's a mix of polished & brushed, but which part is which? Or can we choose?
Also, will it ever be back in the BB finish? I reeeaaaaally want a BB one to live on my piccolo [emoji56]

Hmm ... I'm of the opposite opinion on switches. I prefer the v3 switch over the X switch. Half the turns needed to lock/unlock, less effort needed to fire (even with the softest X switch spring), much, much shorter throw, and I can put it down anywhere and it won't fire or get the button scratched up. Don't get me wrong here, I love my Xs, I just find the switch on the v3 to be superior in every way.
My personal opinion, of course.

I too love the v3 switch and the turns to lock/unlock. The v3 switch has that "touch" feel to it - love it! Now, I too feel that all of those turns for the X switch can be exhausting but seriously, I dont turn it all the way to unlock it. I just turn it enough to fire so those turns dont bother me at all. Kind of cool tho...

For me, I like the v3 switch just a little more, but the X's switch has grown on me a lot. The only issue I have is remembering which direction to turn them to lock/unlock

I don't know about you guys but all my Xs only require a half turn or maybe just a little more that a half. It's all in the way you back out the inside nut of the switch. I too love the V3 switch but the X switch is best in it's class or style.
EDIT: after thinking about it a little more I took both my V3 and Xs to see how many turns it took to unlock and lock. they are both a little less then a full turn.

I completely love the v3 switch for all the reasons posted but since the X owners all rave about the switch, I know I'm going to have to try one for myself eventually ...
I think the throw distance is the big one for me. However, it comes down to personal preference, like always. I'm grateful that GP offers both.
I was just about to say the same...
My Xs and v3s are all less than a full rotation.- Status
