Neither I, but I am obliged to say it a priori, because the first batches of the dripper will be made in Athens, the CNCs in Sofia are occupied with other projects.
I honk I finally found a technique for wicking 90% VG in the heron v2. The problem with juice that thick is to sick at a reasonable speed it sort of rolls along the wick it doesn't really soak in. The issue is if you leave too little wick when you don't vape regularly it ends up leaking.
The solution I'm finding seems to be sticking to a 2mm id coil and then as @qorax shows in the first video he made cut to the side of the heron as a guideline - and wick tight even with cotton. Preferably a hair or two less than the side of the heron. Don't wet the entire wick when testing. Just wet the center leaving the sides fluffy. Then cap it. Once you cap it take tweezers or a small Screwdriver and instead of spreading it out as we do for most liquid , push the wick back just so it sits inside the opening. The top of the hole pushed back slightly farther than the bottom of the hole.
This allows the natural pressure to push the liquid into the wick just at the entry to the chamber rather the. Just outside of the chamber where a thick wick prevents easy flow.
I've been using this technique for wicking a little while now with no overnight leaking and with a 1 ohm build I can chain vape 90% VG without a dry hit. The difference in this device from even 85% VG to 90% is big. Anything past 80 with the sort of normal pass it through and cut it method just can't wick fast enough for the way I vape. Not uncommon when using drip liquids.
Anyway I hope that description works for others. It seems complicated or tedious but that's just because it's a text description. The reality is its one extra step which takes a few seconds compared to just capping and cutting.
I'm still waiting for my fired to send the top cap to me which has he top hole - I think that will suit very very thick liquids better. In the spheroid the same effect is achieved by the upside down hurricane style wicking q also demonstrated that. But the way the heron v2 is made we can't wick t quite he same way. This method replicates the effect of bowing wick over the inside of the wick hole.
I hope you all are well. On a personal note my ex and I came to terms and while everything else remains miserable I now get custody of my dog 3-4 days a week. Which greatly enhances my quality of life. My pup really is my best friend as silly as it may sound to Some Of you. Or maybe since I never had children she's my substitute daughter
so I'm very happy to be able to have her in my life as it should be.
I'll post some picks of the wicking I do if anyone needs it. Unless you're using 85% + it's probably not necessary. And it may be easier just to dilute 1-2% with potable distilled water after decanting the drip juice to a unicorn bottle. I've found even half a cc of potable distilled water mixed with 30 ml of drip juice jobs it enough to solve most issues. Just make sure the distilled water is potable. From a grocery store.

Thx perseas. My mind is running wild now. GP dna133 with a GP dripper. I can dream right?

Oh and I really want a bottom feed gp product. Is the dripper dual purpose and if so what's the diameter - I'm having trouble finding specifics here. If anyone has a post number.
It will be both and 22mm

Looks like it will be on the sleeve

I can't think it would be worth their time to make regulated box mods. Maybe in wrong but the expertise in metal and such I just don't know if there would be w good point to it given the production costs right ? Man I have to start saving for vape day.
I hope gp decide to make a little brother to the dripper like a 16mm bfa would be ideal for what I'm personally looking for. I'm not thrilled with the chalice v3
22mm, both bottom and sealed, and dual with option for single
When you say options. Is that based on how they're configured or different devices ?
Like w single coil bottom feed can single coil seal d vs a dual col bottom feed csnsealed. Is that four devices or one device with replaceable bottom pin and air hole plug ?
Think airflow will go into the middle of the deck and up. Maybe hollow under that. He mentioned 6 mm deep. Just guessing

h00ligan. Glad to hear you've found yourself a solution to the heron. I've been thinking of that technique in my spheroid as well so I'll have to keep that in mind.
Also glad to hear of a"compromise" in your other situation. I can most certainly relate to a dog being a best friend. We have a few. Not crazy at all

A few posts back I asked if it will be bottom feed only or sealed. P replied that standard will be bottom with a510 pin to fill the hole bore. Exactly what that means I'm not sure but knowing P, I have my ideas. Today's photos were more teaser than full revelation again.
The juice well is very rough, this is a prototype, the posts are not well machined yet, for that reason I didn't show them. The deck has 2 posts, 2 air holes under the coils and the PEI sleeve has 3 slots, the dual side airflow slots pull air below the coils for increased flavour. The third slot is for adjusting the airflow of a single coil.
