GP Series by VapourArt - Official Thread for GP Spheroid, GP PAPS, X, GP Piccolo, GP SnP and more - Part 3

[cliffy15]

Hey everyone I've been rather out of the vaping scene lately, but I wanted to both the stop by and say hi and get a feel for what y'all are doing in reaction to the latest FDA rulings since this is one of the few forums I even bother to read anymore.

My GP setups are still running strong and I've been been vaping the same DIY liquid almost exclusively for the past couple of years.

At this point I sure am glad that I got into GP mechs, rebuildables, and DIY liquid. I don't plan on quitting vaping at all and I think I am fairly comfortable with my long-term outlook even if I buy nothing new (not sure on how any potential regulation may affect the GP team).

For now I plan to stock up on a bunch of nicotine liquid and GP spare parts, if available.

My Paps and Paps Xs are safe. I thought, briefly, about giving away some extraneous stuff to friends but am now hoarding everything!

My atties are still running strong! (I have two Heron v1s (that I really need replacement + post insulators for), a Heron v2, and a dripper that should last me for the foreseeable future.

Ideally, I should stock up with at least another HnP, some GPins, and possibly a Piccoloid for good measure.

I'm not sure how the regulation will change the sales/cost of hardware from GP but if it doubles due to some unforeseen taxation (not even sure how they would catch that for international sales) there are going to be some droughts in between hardware upgrades for me. :-(

... and btw, if anyone has hi-chew cravings they can't satisfy, hit me up Our local Sam's club stocks all of them and many of the regular stores carry them in the candy aisle here.

I'm with you cliffy. I have what I need. I did get a couple regulated mods but that's it. The mech mods will outlive me.

I would imagine that true parts should not be a huge deal to get. The mods and attys may be smoother story at some point. But I can't seem to get a straight answer anywhere about what happens when. I know August 8th is a cutoff and I'm guessing that there is some grace period and approval period. But when? I don't know.

If it comes down to it, I'm pretty sure GP can discontinue their e-cig business and become purveyors of high-end flashlight parts.

I don't see how US federal or state regulations would have an impact on the price of gear from Vapourart. I don't expect Vapourart to submit costly applications to the FDA (which the FDA would problem deny anyway). I don't believe that the feds or state governments can tax such goods from out of the country. I would be more worried about shipping as I can envision DHL refusing to ship vaping products in to the US at some point. I think that it would be harder for USPS to block such packages but with enough incentive, money, and IT technology they could.

We're already seeing some US states passing legislation to kill out of state internet sales of vaping products. I doubt that Vapourart would be worried about Utah suing them for example, but I expect that more and more states will pass similar legislation.

"This regulation debate is brought to you in part by Vapourart, and the new GP dripper. Just when you think you may have the gear you need, you don't have anything yet."

 

[yankeebobo]

..... I mean. ....!!!

 

[yankeebobo]

Dammit perseas. Now I have to tell Jojo.

 

[perseas]

I am busy lung vaping this new dripper, I am sure you're going to love it guys! Opa! the flavour and the throat hit is indescribable ... It changed my mind regarding lung vaping ...

 

[yankeebobo]

You're NOT helping. Seriously.

 

[yankeebobo]

OK. Seriously though. It's that a whole new design? Or are you borrowing a heron base with just a new cap?

 

[perseas]

OK. Seriously though. It's that a whole new design? Or are you borrowing a heron base with just a new cap?

The design is brand new, everything has been designed from scratch, it is our own approach to a dripper, the tolerance of the base interior parts is insane, you'll understand when I upload photos of the interior the coming days. The machining of the base is very time consuming, over 15 minutes just for the interior ...

The day has finally come. I've been waiting for a gp dripper for years. Sign me up. Thx perseas.

It looks as though I will be collecting can on the side of the road.
I'm putting a new roof, chimney, and we're going solar this summer.
