Hehe.. next-day delivery in my country. Received it, inspected it, washed it, built it, vaped it, and.. it's crazy good!! :D

Thank you very much for the feedback! I am sure you noticed the superb flavour delivery and the strong throat hit of this version.

Although I mostly vape unflavoured nic base, these things are noticeable. Of course it is hard to beat the previous Heron versions, but I guess you did it :)

I do the same, I love the fluff, but it seems we are a minority :)
I really don't get that. Once you know the amount of fluff for the liquid it will never fail. And it tells you when to refill way before you really need to, which is great.. I never had a dry hit. IMO the extra top cap is always a bit of a hassle to get it right.

My first attempt was 7.5cm x 2cm fluff for 90% VG and 10% water. Seems to be quite right.

Hello to everyone and hope everyone is well!! I need a little help......the switch on my Paps X does not fire consistently. What I mean is that I have to press it very hard to get a full fire or sometimes it just half fires. Sometimes, if I press the switch repeatedly really fast, it helps to soften the amount of pressure needed to get a full fire!! I am using a dripper so it is easy to recognize a hard hit and a soft hit, any suggestions?? However, at times it works flawlessly as it did when I first got it.
Thanks for any feedback

Hello buddy :)

I have the same question with Sedge, have you cleaned recently? Remember during assembling NOT to screw the square locking nut all the way down, leave 0,5-1 mm protruding off the switch housing (1-2 threads), before you place the button and the negative post.

Can we still use the fluff with the topper in the new Heron?

I know many people prefer it without the topper, but I like using it in my v1 a lot to keep the kgd wicks from flopping about.

I also plan on using the fluff while traveling because it isn't affected by air pressure changes (which I'm assuming is an issue while running fluff less). Not having to worry about leaks on a plane us one if the things that makes it my go to atty.

Thank you all for the replies!! Yes, the switch is very clean and I backed the square nut out a couple of turns and it seems to be firing precisely at the moment. I will see as the day goes on! I may have forgotten to loosen the nut when I reassembled as most parts are to be snug!!
Thanks and have a wonderful day!

Hank, how are ya?

My guess is your spring is binding. The spring fits snugly in the recess in the switch body and to the switch button itself. The spring may be slightly out of round which can exacerbate the binding. As suggested; a good cleaning is the first thing. You can also change out the spring for the spare that was provided with the PAPS X originally. I can always tell when it is an issue for me when I unlock the switch and it "springs" back a bit from fully unlocked. I then take it apart and just fiddle with the spring a bit until it doesn't bind.

The fluff is working with the topper in v1.5. if you're using fluff in v2, don't put the topper. The topper of the previous version it was designed to be used with fluff, but this one not, because the feeding holes are positioned sideway now.

Take care

hmm... I don't know about mass marketability, but if there's ever an option for a topper with a single hole on the top, please let me know :)

My HnP is stateside! Should be delivered tomorrow!!!

Same with my GP Heron v2 and a GP Outlet SnP Tank (for my Sophia v2). I also have some more nicotine and flavorings due to arrive tomorrow for a DIY blitz I'm planning over the holidays when I'm off work, so it should make for a great vape mail day.
