Do paps switches work? Those are up...I don't have a vela but I assume the threading is same and you make up the gap with the pins up top

GP PAPS Switch version 2.5 | Domo Vapor Co.

They are expensive but f'ing fantastic. They are the price of vapourart plus shipping to the US there, I would ask for a discount if buying two.

Other than that, not especially familiar with velas.

I know they will fit as they are 20x1 threading. The only question is if they go into the tube to far. I think I have seen other people use them before.

Tried to call them, no answer. Tried to use their contact form but when you hit submit it does nothing...

I'll try a direct email.

And as I tire of what I thought were good finishes of my own. I finally got smart and hooked up with muh buddy Crack3dOne...and he may have finished 3 of my old school mods. 2 of which used to be Kibros moons ago.

This one, I bought used and it was a lameish media finish that I started to polish out as I couldnt take the soft finish...As I have a couple things I am doing in the shop- I got smart.

The GGTS came out really well. Medium brushed with the satin accents rings, completely original. The paps tubes with the fine brushing (or semi polished, whatever you want to call it) centers and the polished accents rings. I have some before photos at home, those really bring life to the after photos.

With the PAPS accent rings, I am interested in how my LUX PAPS switches will look. I think it is going to be a fantastic match up. I have many PAPS tubes that I rotate - 11ish complete PAPS with many spare parts.
These have always been my favorites as they came from Kiba whom is a good buddy. They would be the last to go even after my LUX tubes and you made them that much better. I'm not a collector, I'm a user. Thanks again

For the nemesis, do you place the battery upside down? such as the nipple side hitting the bottom contact?

There is no need to place the battery upside down on the Nemesis. The button mechanism and insulation are amazing at adjusting to any battery length.

All you do is:

- Remove top cap and install your atty/dripper/tank of choice.
- Adjust the top cap's center pin so that it makes contact with your atty/dripper/tank of choice.
- Insert battery (+ side up) from the top.
- Screw top cap and atty assembly into tube.
- Screw/Unscrew the button assembly until you've removed rattle from the battery.
- Profit.

PS: I've tested this out with a number of 18350 batteries (branded and unbranded) and also with a couple NCR18650PD batteries I bought recently. No unintentional firing (even with unlocked button) and no rattle whatsoever.

I have to say; this mod is just an amazing piece of vaping engineering... And now; if you excuse me... I have to go see about a Foggy Hybrid. ;)
