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

[h00ligan]

DHL just delivered my Piccolo V4 and the Spheroid V4. I am so excited. At least I didn't pay tax this time. And, they are really a work of art Perseas. Fantastic. Really micro and so cool looking devices. It looks so sterile. Now I have to rewatch all the videos by Qorax to start a build.

congrats. I absolutely love my piccoloid. I feel like could have takes at two more. For sure another one is my next purchase if they're available. It's amazetasticsome

I love my GP Family! You make me smile!

hOOligan.. I wish you a quick recovery!

Thanks I appreciate it. I'm alright. It's hard to remember that literally typing your shoes is a no no. The first one was a bit rough. This one is 1.5inches away and a month after so a bit more rough. soon enough ill be back to right as rain I hope with all arm and hand functions returned. I appreciate the well wishes. Very kind of you. I feel bad bringing it up online. It's really not that bad I just can't move much for six weeks. Many people have it much worse. The support from GP around it has been absolutely amazing. I'm still shocked how good the support here in the thread and from the company itself has been. So I'm already starting to love it in here

Now all I have to do is to wait for my batteries to arrive so I can test fire this puppy! Hmm.. should build my Spheroid first and test it with another mod.

We are all a tad bit nuts here. Some of us, more than others. That would be me. Hence, we refer to this place as our 'Asylum'. Perseas and Crew are 'good people', and they attract 'good people'. This is always a safe place... We are among 'Family'.

Ok, I just did a build on the Spheroid and after a few issues with eliquid spit, then dry hits.. all is good now. I had to train her. And now she vapes like a queen

As Qorax said in his video, OMG

Wonderful Perseas, simply awesome!

Thank you very much Richard! It's a lovely small atomizer

 

[perseas]

Hi all! Hope everyone is well. I see Perseas is still up to the same old tricks lol.

Hello my friend! Happy New year

 

[h00ligan]

Got everything sorted out today with GP. Even managed to add on the polishing kit for not if but when my hands are working properly.

Of course I didn't have the foresight to actually add that to my fluff, 510 adaptor, and fork order so I had to do a separate payment. Which now means I capture the title of GP most annoying customer ever!

Not once was there frustration shown And I was frustrating myself let alone others.

New HnP on the way. I'm excited! Figured I'd get a couple
Fluffs just in case I wanted to use it for a while.

Does fluff wear out - or if you use the same flavor all the time could you just leave it perpetually in there?


Off topic

I mixed a few new flavors tonight. Man working with 100mg/ml is intimidating. I keep psyching myself out thinking I've over allocated. Or it's on my skin. Or the juice is too strong. Or or or

That said the juice vapes as normal and ive been wearing gloves so clearly I'm just being a mental case.

It's weird to consider it is - flat out - poison. Made sure I cleaned well
And out it somewhere pets couldn't possibly get it. Still. Maybe next time I'll buy premixed base. Not like it's much more expensive.

Happy hump day

When I change flavors with fluff, I carefully take it out, rinse it off, and carefully dry it off in between layers of paper towels. Fluff seems to last a long time, but tends fall apart after repeated cleaning like this. If you are using a single flavor and you leave the fluff alone it should last a long time.

I dilute some of my stored 100mg nicotine to 36mg for mixing (I vape 6mg).

Hey that's a good idea to dilute the super strong. Then I can chuck the nicotine in the freezer. The seller send me 100%vg which given how small
The quantities which are needed is not bad but generally speaking dealing with syringes and 100vg makes things much more of a pain.

I really should have some bottles without flavors on there and diluted juice. You're right.

As Firestorm commented, the fluff will last a long time. When I'm vaping the same flavor in my Spheroid, I'm not sure how many ml I went through but it was weeks worth easily. It was a relatively "clean" juice. The fact that the liquid isn't immersed against a hot coil, nor is the fluff, makes a big diff in its longevity.
As Fire also said, it cleans well. I think it was Perseus who wrote that it wasn't necessary to unwrap it. Just give it a rinse when wrapped around the chimney, squeeze gently and let dry, and it'll be just fine.

Since beehive is so helpful I'll ask one more

Do you happen to know where to find the single numerical value for custom tcr input on the Yihi chipset devices like evic mini / boxer etc?

The evic has a stainless setting but I'd like to compare vs the custom value . I'm only familiar with the dna200 csv settings.the boxer needs custom tcr for stainless. I didn't see single values on steam engine but maybe I just need to take one value?

Whilst I'll be using things on the tube mods I'll also be swapping them around for regulated. I feel the heron v2 may end up pairing very very well
In my house with the boxer dual 18650 (its impossible to knock over!) while I save the pocket space and take the piccoloid out.

Appreciate it!

 

[RichardA]

My batteries arrived and now, I can say, I have a full Piccoloid V4. I am quite impressed with this mechanical mod. The flavor mated with the Spheroid is truly amazing. I was really surprised with this. This is after all, my first purchase of the GP product line.

I can compare the taste I get with my ejuice to what I have on my temperature control mods with the best of tanks. And all in a nice little cute package. Once again Perseas, wonderful job you and your team have done!

Congrats once again Richard!
And remember, you're not required to just stick with 14500 batts & mods. The Spheroid v4 is a fantastic atty, which bodes well with any size of mod. Looks good as well on 22mm mechs / regulated devices or box mods. I use it all the time atop other devices. So, tread along and mix-n-match!

I couldn't agree more. Congrats on your purchase

I recently bought my first GP equipment in the piccoloid and HnP and the level of craftsmanship is a 10+.

Also I a sea of "me too" equipment there's proper innovation. The switches for example - wel at least I've never used anything as good or with this clever of a design.

Woul you post some pictures on different setups - if you happen to be using it on something else over the course of time. I should have bought the 510 for that too but I had to make a choice so went with the heron 510. I'd be interested in seeing what the spheroid v4 looks like on larger mods.

I think you and I agree that things don't have to be perfectly matchy matchy to look good.

I have to save up l right now and my eliquid order from Israel is taking forever. waiting to see if it's better than the stuff I get from the uk. If it is I'll save a substantial sum on my adv and have more money to send directly to GP.

Speaking of eliquid - today I get the juice I talked about before. Tart raspberry , cucumber , finished with a touch of sweet spearmint. Sounds strange I know but it's absolutely delightful. Especially on the hot dry desert heat of summer or as a palette cleanser between other vapes.

 

[RichardA]

@h00ligan, yes I could post some pictures, just have to understand how to do that and I will show them to you. I have used the Spheroid on a SX Mini ML and the Dicodes Dani Extreme V2+. It tasted good on temperature control. And now with the Piccolo, it taste good as well to be honest. Perhaps I need to find a really complex juice to try comparisons.

Oh, I have posted many on this thread. I'll try and post some more.
And btw, my Yaeliq orders reach me within 8-10 days usually.

Greetings GP family! Hope this new year finds everyone doing well.
I recently received 3 Spheroids and need a bit of guidance. 2 have the threaded bellcap with thumb screws and 1 has the press-fit bellcap. If I were to need spares, which version are they? I suppose I need to post pictures when I get home.
Also, if these are version 2 (which I believe they are), will the version 3 parts work (press fit cap and v3 deck)?
This is what I love about GP. They may improve the user experience but the quality and performance are unmatched. Even between the iterations of Spheroid I find no other atomizer can deliver the complexity of my DIY juices.
I think the magic is in the fluff!

BTW - on the question about fluff - I have used the same fluff for over 4 months with a fairly dark DIY tobacco juice and its still performing well. I leave it twisted around the bell and gently rinse then Pat excess water and let it air dry.

 

[qorax]

I have not yet replaced the fluff in my Spheroids since 2012

 

[h00ligan]

Thanks. Sorry I'll go back through here. It's a bit overwhelming but you're right I should go back.

@RichardA thanks!

I'm looking forward to receiving the heron v2 replacement. I already received the shipping info. After sanitizing the existing one I placed a build that I'd normally use in so when they receive at GP headquarters they can tell me if I've slacked it incorrectly or something. I wicked it so they can recreate my experience. Only thing I couldn't do was ensure the coil was burning evenly but it's pretty well spaced. I'm waiting to hear from DHL about sending in my return.

I mentioned I got the polishing kit. I may polish it like @qorax has. It will have to be when I'm physically more able but I think that kit is going to be handy across a host of devices. I'll practice in some cheap devices. Maybe try to make a super shine goblin mini

So,with the piccoloid I'm typically doing 2.5mm kanthal with 7 wraps. That seems to be the sweet spot for me. I think I prefer a little more oomph than a lot of mouth to lung vapers. Anyway is there any real benefit to fluff in the piccoloid? Does it change flavor characteristics using the spheroid ? Maybe from reducing chamber volume available? Or is it mostly similar? Seems like it may have more impact with the flavor on the heron due to larger tank?

I bought some aw 14500 and they seem pretty good. I'd guess 2 batteries to get through a work day. If I vaped inside. i try to describe battery life in volume - so maybe i would get s tank from these two aw 14500. Initially I was using some batteries that weren't very good - battery quality really seems to have a lot,of impact when you get to the smaller sizes I think more so than the bigger ones. Bit just for overall life but quality of the vape,too. I haven't used mechs too much in my life so I'm still surprised at exactly how. Much difference can be observed.


HAPPY THURSDAY ALL.
