GP Heron and Other Bits Vapour day Feb 17th (Pre-Order Now)

[Carpe Vapor]

Finally, the long awaited GP Heron is available to pre-order

Vapour Day Details here - www.vapourart.com/en/announcement/february-17-vapourday

The GP Heron is the big brother of the Spheroid.

If you want to pre-order the Heron, the only way I found of doing it was from the RSS 'Add to Cart' button (see link below)

Ooooooh...I might actually nab a Spheroid this time because the rest of you will be after the big boy!

Is version 2 the latest or is there a version 3 I should be holding out for? Super-Shiny mentioned an extras kit that was good to get as well. Anyone remember what that was? Meant to bookmark it but forgot.

Getting all giddy now.

[Carpe Vapor]

the v2 is the latest - has been around a while now.

the kit which changes the thumb screws on the deck to philips screws is called the v3 kit. www.vapourart.com/en/product/gp-spheroid-replacement-kit-version-3 or www.vapist.net/SPARES_-_GP_Spheroid_V3_Replacement_Parts_Kit/p2068657_11085194.aspx

I dont think they are selling any v3 kits this time around though. They aren't necessary but does make it easier to tighten.

Excellent. Just need to click fast on Monday and it's job done. Cheers!

I think you will be ok. Last vapour day, the spheroids were in stock most of the day. Earlier the better though just to be sure :-)

[newdawn]

These and a mini provari (or something similar) will be my last big purchases for a goodly while. It'll be a hit initially, but maintenance costs of cheaper options adds up and actually makes them not so cheap. Getting a bit excited now!

[Carpe Vapor]

Certainly saves money in the long run.

+1 for the mini provari. I have a shiny spheroid sitting atop a shiny mini provari right now :-)

haven't changed the fluff or microcoil in the spheroid for over a month now. Occasionally I replace the cotton wick which takes 5 minutes.

I think they are quoting a start time of 17:00 on there website. Also I think 125 Euro's is a bit steep for the Heron, Not inculding shipping which from what I remember was around 15 Euro's for a spheroid.

I managed to preorder a Heron from the last link I posted in my OP

You wouldn't have to buy too many of the latest crop of clearos before you've spent more than the cost of a Spheroid, i reckon they're good value.

Well done!!!

I have no idea what rss is & your link just opens up a code page for me, i assume i would need some sort of newsreader or different browser for this.

Ah well, will just have to wait till next week. I've had the money burning a hole in my pocket for a long time but i've been good & resisted almost everything else. Hoping to get a Heron / Paps X converter & a Paps V3.

It worked in Firefox but now they say out of stock.

I had an email off VapourArt notifying me that they received the order but I should not have been able to order lol.

However, they will honor the order if I tel them I how managed to bypass their system.

Wonder if you're the only one?

At least with pre-order everyone gets what they want anyway but may have to wait a while.

I placed a pre-order for an atty 7th December & status is still awaiting product, hope the GP stuff won't be such a lengthy wait.

[Carpe Vapor]

They guarantee delivery within 29 days max from 17th but should be sooner and knowing GP, they won't disappoint.

Start time has been pushed back a couple of hours. Now starting at 7pm instead of 5pm. Already have dinner cooked so it won't interrupt button clicking later on.
