Honestly I'm getting fed up. GP Paps clone dry fires. I can't use the 2 Tobeco clones I got (Plume and Magma) with my authentic SMPL because their 510 screws back into the threading when I tighten the SMPL switch. I love mechs but this is getting ridiculous. I have half a mind to say screw it and get a regulated box. Pitiful.

The Paps dry fires also with the clone spring it came with, just not as much as with the authentic. I know it's making contact, I can feel it. Tried different batts, diff atties, how frustrating. What else do I need to order to fix this that itself will cause another 2 problems for every one I solve?

That is strange.

Well if you own any LPG (Le Petit Gros) clones, the authentic PAPS spring makes an excellent upgrade for that mod.

Not for the Launcher though, it makes the switch too soft. The clone Paps spring works great for it though.

I definitely don't miss mech mod problems, box mod with a spring loaded 510 is so trouble free, only downside is had to adjust my builds due to the lack of voltage drop I'd have on my SS mechs, everything hits way harder on the Sig.

I'm thinking of ordering the Heron clone - Type A. Does anyone know of videos that might help me explore its potential?

There ya go! Keep in mind even though the ver A is better, the o-rings suck so you may need to move them out of the groove, wrap some dental floss around the groove, then pop the ring back on top. Quick little fix to beef up your o-rings you can use on all sorts of loose connections, like for drip tips.

Well that's a first, my package has now spent more time sitting in customs in Chicago (5 days), than it took for FT to process the order and CP to get here it from China(4 days).

I ordered two small packages on Saturday. They are currently being processed in Shenzen, China according to usps tracking. I sit here patiently and wait to see where my packages pop up next.

Not a video, but this is what helped me: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vapourart/530491-gp-heron-setup-pictorial.html

Also, even though you most certainly can use a Heron with no filler in the tank, it is much better with it in my opinion.

Does anyone know when the Chinese New Year starts. I keep planning to order then not having the money. I would like to try to get in an order before their holiday starts if possible.

Does anybody have a link to that search site that someone posted awhile back? It was like a spreadsheet with drop-downs to narrow parameters...
I switched computers and lost all my bookmarks!

Glad to see people are getting some good use out of it.

...and the Dominus is officially the best 1:1 mod I ever purchased from FastTech.

I purchased another, and I'm saving up for an authentic and some accessories. Already purchased the brass conversion for my first one.

Oooh, could it be?

Re-cap:
Ordered a Manta V2 on 12-14-14, "Ships in 5 days".
After 5 days my order showed that it would now ship in another 3 days.
After 3 more days it showed it would ship in another 5 days.
After 5 days are upmy order doesn't show anything for a shipping ETA for 2 days or so and then.......

ETA 1/10/2015 (in 10 days)
---------------------------------------------------
Update the Manta order.
Since the 10th, no shipping date. This morning my order status updated to.....

ETA 1/17/2015 (in 5 days

Yeah, thanks! I was going nuts without it, trying to find 11.x mm diameter drip tips. I love being able to sort the search results too, by width, color, name, etc.
Really handy tool to have!
