This has probably been covered before but I haven't been able to find it, please?
Oh, and with the new 510 fitting on it and whatever goes with it too?
Thank you.

I don't always understand what I read and often interpret it wrong.
Are you asking to convert to a VV LP? Or just a regular LP with the new 510?

Okay, it sounds like you want to do three things...
* Convert the VVG to a straight mech using 18650 batteries.
* Mill the catch cup to LP.
* Upgrade the 510 to the new adjustable ss ones.
If so, you should prolly PM Rob (redeyedancer) for a quote. He might price it differently than he would for doing the individual pieces.
ETA: Also, if considering the first point, why would you be thinking of doing that? Most folks only do that if the VV chip fails. If it's not working, it might be a faulty button.

No idea on the VVG to Mech conversion. I believe Rob said the upgrade to adj 510 is $40, mill STD to LP is $20..... but don't quote me (I was wrong once, don't remember on what because it was decades ago). 
As Papa said, a quote from Rob to know for sure.

We would only be able to offer you a guess. Best to send a PM to Robert! He really won't mind!
I think I paid a total of about $25, including shipping, to have my VV Grand planed down. I'll see if I can look up the exact amount....
Correction. $30.80 to have the VV Grand planed down, new 510 gasket installed and shipped back to me. December, 2014
I should add to that that I am still using my mod as a VV Grand, with two 18350 batteries. And that was the Gasket, not the 510 connector itself that was replaced. It was my understanding that to convert to a strait mech, you would need to use a 'spacer' to use 18650 batteries. Or a 'kick'. I basically just wanted to use more attachments on a VV Grand.

Thanks y'all.
I will get a note off to Rob after I get my 3 grand kids back to their folks around Tues. or Weds. Love 'em dearly but I may age from 75 to 80 in the next 2 days or so.
Basically I want to have more lengthy batt. life using 18650(Mech.), settable heat(watts) level(a kick) and ,sure, use one of the newer larger diameter rba s(LP) and new adjustable 510.
That about covers it, I guess.
