Wow. Wonderful.
Thank you to the Secret Summer Santa.
I had to read P's post twice to make sure. This is really exciting. I love my v3, but I keep reading how amazing the X is, and I'll soon find out.
I owe alot to you folks on this thread, for your generosity, insight and companionship. So truly I should be sharing my prize with you. Sadly, it's all mine.
And congrats to the other winners, and appreciation again to Vapourart.

Can someone link to me the post showing how to pull apart the v2.5 switch without damaging it more than i already have? Pretty much loosening the nut from the switch.
I know it isn't adjustable, but the patriot fits all your other criteria. I'm very happy with mine.
Lefty tighty, righty loosey.
I use a pair of needle nose to turn the bolt. Just remember it's reverse threaded.
No idea on a video

I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. What's too funny is my post below, when in a feeble attempt at humor I said "sure thing." (I did get a v3 since that original post BTW.) So when my lucky streak continues and I win the Powerball later this week, GP mods on me for you all.
Thanks again to P, secret santa and the great product crew at GP.

That was good!
I was seven. I remember that year. Wasn't a good one. Loved the cars though!
I well remember 1967, and it was a very good year for me. I had dated the prettiest/sweetest gal in the county for about 2.5 years (would have married her if not for Vietnam). My newest muscle car was a '67 Camero, a "sleeper" the locals called The Freak because nobody could beat me in a drag race either off or on the local track. I graduated from high school, and as was the norm in that era got my grad certificate in one hand, draft notice in the other. I joined the Navy but would have a few months wait to actually go in. So I was able to still drive to California for the Monterey Pop Festival, had connections there to meet some of the greats performing (Hendrix, Joplin, the Phillips and Cass, Grace Slick, etc) because I had played lead guitar in the better bands in my area and had meet some of the greats that performed there as well (Beach Boys, Stones, etc). A gal pal had dropped out of high school the fall before and went to Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco to find herself. So after the festival I drove up to see her, and stayed for the Summer of Love, did the concerts at the Fillmore and Avalon and met more of the greats, the "ins" at Golden Gate Park and other places, and hung out with her friends - including at the Dead House 2-3 times. I wasn't a Digger or Hippie, drank booze/didn't use drugs but they accepted me for who I was and I them. Many of them remained friends for years until we lost touch. They called me a Hawk that summer because I would be going to Vietnam, and the gal pal made me a Peace and Fire medallion to signify it that I have worn ever since (including all while in the Navy against regs). After the cerimony in GGP to bury the effigy signifying the end of the true hippie era I went back home and soon on to boot camp in San Diego before joining the real Navy. 1968 was a good year too though... I met the lady on a SF beach that would share almost 35 years of her life with me.

Another great story! Fun!
Funny... '67 Camero was one of the cars I was thinking about. I had one a few years later.

how's that "lady on a SF beach" that you met doing these days...
I am almost always naked! I hate clothes!
I hate clothes too, especially when it's 120 in the shade. I sleep naked, but I don't sleep very often. Don't bother to get fully dressed unless I have to go out on errands or for walks though. And shoes, I never wear them year round unless I go out. I'm in the comfortable stage in my life, you know, the one where you don't care what others think of your habits.

We have these things in common!
QUOTE=cliffy15;13564642]Hey family... off-topic, I've recently been thinking about getting a dripper... mostly so I can take it out to test e-liquids but if it turns out that I like dripping enough I'm not opposed to keeping it in the rotation. Any suggestions on where to start looking? I'm not new to drippers, but the ones I've had were very cheap (IGO and A7).
I'm basically looking for some price economy since I don't think it will be my primary. Can I get away with something good within the $60-$80 range? Looking for SS in 22mm (something to match my paps v3s) but not ruling out those in 23mm since I may get an X one of these days. Would like adjustable airflow. I'm undecided whether I'll run single or dual coils but want one that can accomodate both with relative ease (not planning on making more than two coils at a time). I do not want a ceramic cup setup.
Preferably no unicorns. =)
TIA![/QUOTE]
By Leo will soon be selling a new 22mm Dripper that will just use regular Kanthal coils, not the NR-R-NR of their other drippers and Sofia.

Please see above and give guidance! I have read the tips and threads but not sure what to hold in my hand to spin that baby around and not change the look, in other words, I don't want to turn in a brushed finish to a polished shiny finish!! Thanks family!

A huge, if slightly belated, congratulations to the 5 (6) winners! And what a wonderful gesture from the Secret Santa!!!! A truly magnificent set of prizes.
There's a Loki Lab omega with matching drip tip in the classies for 60. It looks pretty sweet on a paps.
I would get very familiar with Autosol products. There is no better treatment available. You will find many collectors to high end device owners use no other. I am a big fan and knowing PBro uses it should make you comfortable.
I also recommend acquiring a cheap ss tube or two to practice finishing ss. I have finished and refinished quite a few of my own and other members with the PnB and I still try new finishes and methods on a couple of cheap tubes that were passed of as gp spare tubes some ......... tried to pass off. All sandpaper I use is wet. Nailing down rpm speed on your drill is important.
I also learned from King P that a light buff with a green Scotchbrite pad will disguise light scratches on the ss brushed PAPS.
VBill and I have talked and he has used a drill press on his. Owning a drill press, I still prefer controlling the drill and finish hand manually, lol.
Cliffy, get the Odin by Loki Labs. It's a $65 dripper and performs like a $100+ dripper.
