Kiss-QE Update

Production is ongoing, albeit in short bursts inter-spread with their regular productions works. Gus has indicated that they can ship them in batches of 20, commencing first week of May. So the first 20 can expect getting our Paypal invoices sometime next week. Here are the final complete images (into production) of our mod.

Now that is exciting. I am assuming though that you meant the first week of May as the first week of April has passed. :)

Aw, shoot! That's what happens when you have many pages open and writing everywhere. Amending it now. Thanks FTX bro for pointing it out.

Hey Stan, did you happen to ask him about upgrading the shipping to UPS if I'm willing to pay the difference? I really don't want mine shipped through the post because it seems that once the USPS in NYC gets it's hands on it my stuff goes missing or it bounces around multiple NYC post offices for 10 days....

Since this thread seems to be well monitored: what center pin can we use to replace the fuse setup? ...just got my Gus and ruined a fuse by pulling it out by hand (the fuse came apart), and blew another fuse on a Kayfun I've been using for weeks now (and works perfectly on another 3 mods I have; and registers as having no shorts)....so I want to simplify this mod by removing the fuse.

I know the GP Paps 2.5 works, but I can only find them in Europe and they're out of stock there regardless. Any help is appreciated - Thanks.

I had written about it earlier, see below:

LORD Top-Cap Fuse Swap with other Pos Pins

Well many seem to be averse to the "Fuse" in the Gus Top-Cap and enquired whether it could be swapped with Pos Pins from other Mods. Yes absolutely, here's some pics...







Bottomline: Pretty much every mod's Positive Pin/Post (whether Telescopic or Straight Screw) can be put inside the Top-Cap of the Gus-LORD. They all seem to be threaded the same... same dimensions. And length doesn't matter since the Gus-LORd is a telescopic mod. You can thus screw it's bottom-body in to fit any Battery &/or Atty.

I hope that helped.

Hi, I had already posted about it earlier. Gus Mods have the EMS and UPS options as well. EMS would be expensive, but UPS seems to be a shade better @ 25 Euros.

But, I personally will opt for the regular Free Shipping. Since the holiday season will be over by the time ours ship ~ it shouldn't take more than 2 weeks, at most 3. I've always received my packages in 10-odd days tho.

Sorry, I must have missed the earlier post. Thanks for the info though and I will pay the extra.

We know the GP Paps (2.5) fits it, but those are out of stock absolutely everywhere (even overseas), and there is no USA source that I know of which sells replacement center pins for other mods. If anybody knows of one, I'm all ears (and I'm off to google some more...).

I have a clone of a Grand Vapor Private v2, Chi You, and Caravela; as well as a Magneto right next to me and none of those center pins will fit. The M5? machine screw I had in my parts bin does fit (although it's pretty long), but I would rather not jury-rig something for a nice mod like this.

Could I also use that center pin that came with the ESTIA if I so choose?

I believe it would work. Btw, all these are possible only in 18500 and 18650 modes. The Gus tubes are differently sized for 18350, there's a lot of unutilized space inside.
