. Yes, switch to one thin oring in the bottom of the battery chamber and you should be good to go!

Thanks David,
I just tried the thinner o-ring but there is the smallest, tiniest of battery rattle which is worse than a gap.
I am not to concerned atm as I am waiting on a new atti that I intend to use on it all the time and the 510 dimensions will probably differ from the current atti.
I have in the past with my P+'s just gently sanded the 0-ring so it is flat on one side.
I cannot live with gaps or rattles but I don't forsee any probs fixing it.
Hi all,
Just wanted to introduce myself as a new simplicity 26500 owner -- loving it! Props to DurtyD who helped me find it as part of a quest to find *any* tube mod in the 26500 size. I am simply blown away at the quality of this new mod which somehow manages to be both big and little at the same time. I do wonder whether future incarnations could be made shorter still -- we could end up with a very pocket friendly mod with good battery life, which was my original goal. And here's hoping that we see some more choices come down the pike in terms of 26500 batteries. The efest is certainly OK, but I imagine this form factor could provide quite a bit more, whether in terms of mah or amps.
Anyhow, in addition to checking in as a fanboy, I wanted to point out that the new tobeco kayfun for 26XXX mods is a spot on perfect match for the simplicity. I just got one yesterday (101vape) and it is precisely the same width as my simplicity -- looks like it could have been designed for this mod. As a loyal svoemesto guy, I was hesitant to buy anything from tobeco, but I have to say I am extremely surprised at the quality. The threads are perfect, the o-rings seal with no issues, the airflow adjustment works great (and opens up a bit wider than an original kayfun), wicking is excellent and as to the vape, it is identical to my original kayfuns. The only issues I've had are that the contact screws have sllightly narrow heads making it difficult to capture the coil (fixable with better screws, and still useable as is -- just a bit of hassle was all) -- and a fair amount of machine oil to dig out when it first arrived. I've put it through 3 one hour sessions in my jewelry cleaner and I'm now all set.
And here's the kicker: This friggin thing holds 15ml of juice! So you fill it, at most, once every 3 days. Coupled with the good runtime on these 26500s, this combo is fast becoming the most maintence free mod I own -- it's just always ready and I only rarely think about charging or filling. And that said, I hope tobeco or others will come out with a "nano" kit for this 26XXX kayfun. I suspect that even if it were shrunk down to where the tank was no taller than the chimney's bell, the wider circumference would *still* allow for about 5mls of juice.
And the real kicker is you can get it for around 30 bucks (or at least you could -- I think the first round is near to sold out). Anyhow, hope this mini-review helps someone -- and thanks, Super T, for some fantastic work on my new mod!

Looking good, no worries on the ELA's from yesterday, we are nearing finishing up a batch now, so more will come up in not too long.
Welcome smokinwheels! It's always good to hear from a customer how the are liking their new toys! Any pics of your setup?
Hey Dave! Any chance of making a hybrid adapter? Or divulging the thread pitch at least? Thanks!
Hi ForcedFuel,
Ask and ye shall receive. Apologies for the bad lighting, makes everything look gold. I've taken a couple shots, each for a reason.
First here's a pic of my simplicity 26500 with the tobeco 26xxx kayfun clone. Took it next to an old z max just for scale purposes. Note what a perfect match the tobeco is -- and though the picture doesn't quite capture it, the finish is almost exactly identical between the clone and the 26500 body.
I'm new to posting pics, so will continue in next post...want to make sure this uploaded correctly.

OK, that worked. Next here's one of the combo in my big old meat hook. Not exactly compact, but not huge either. Comfortable, if weighty, in the hand. As I noted earlier, I am hoping that tobeco or someone will devise a drop kit ("nano") tank for this kayfun clone. It could be reduced to half it's current size (which is about 1/2 inch taller than a standard kayfun) and still hold a good 5 mils of juice.
The insert picture button is acting wonky. Uploaded this one as an attachment.

And here is the 26500, no topper, next to my little cheapo kylin mod. I post this by way of throwing down the gauntlet to super T (or, more politely, to beg and plead) -- in the hopes that you all will consider making a truly compact 26500 mod. The kylin (knock off of the pisces T) is a telescoping mod with a floating firing pin, bottom firing button and reverse threaded lock ring. It is shown with an 18500 battery loaded. Note how much shorter it is than the simplicity. I don't know that you can achieve a mod *this* short when working with a 26XXX tube, but man, I would *so* buy a truly *short* 26500 mod.
Failing that, count me as a +1 on the request for a hybrid adapter for the 26XXX series simplicities. The tobeco clone *exactly* matches the diameter of the simplicity and would work great as a "hybrid". That's about 1/3 an inch saved right there!
Thanks so much for your fantastic work!

I have been away for a month in NY and I had two packages from super t waiting for me. I recieved my brass accent rings and solid top cap for my ELA. The second package was the polished 26650 simplicity. My daughter bought it for me for an early father's day gift. I told her not to get me an expensive gift! I now have two 26650 simplicitys. I think I like the polished version a little bit better than the ribbed version. Yesterday was an awesome day. I now have to get the 26500 version next or maybe just the tube and the slant cap.
Loser??? LOL!!! If we rank ourselves in descending order of loserdom, I don't even think there's a word for how badly I suck!
I wish I had the collection of super t products you have. I am envious! I am the loser here because I should have pulled the trigger on super t products a long time ago.
Smokingwheels clued me in to the simplicity... After reading this thread I'm sold.
You should be seeing my order come through within the next day or so.
Now I gotta find a sweet dripper to top it off with. I'm thinking an igo-m should do nicely.

Hey sven -- you found me over here... cool beans. You'll love your new mod. Yes, it is a lot of scratch, but the thing is bullet proof -- you'll be using it 10 years from now.

This has become my all day mod. It's big, but not needing a spare battery is a big plus.
