Mike, I'm not sure what you mean but the Brass center pin on the shorty is smaller then on the Regular DID, so I dont think so if I understand you correctly.

I was just trying to same money and I thought I could get away with just buying a regular center pin and reglar center post and cut my own tubing. And I was hoping all would fit on my shorty top and bottom.
You could. You could also save some $ over the SS tank by getting the clear reg tank (6 euro from e-vape) + reg ctr pin + reg ctr post and then reuse your end caps.
I used an old tank I had from the days that I wasted so much m,oney on Ce2's Ce3's Curtos, attys and everything else. Now I just have my did and only have to worry about mesh and wire. But luckily I saved my old junk. But there are compnies out there that sell tubing and you can buy a tube cutter at home depot. I think maybe McMaster-Carr has tubing. Someone else might know.

Just put two DID kits with two Kir Francis clear tanks up on the classys. The DID is a wonderful piece of kit but for the life of me can't get the hang of it so must pass this, don't want these to collect dust on my shelf 
I removed all 3 brass nuts and bent the SS mesh closer to the positive pole. In fact, the wick is touching the pole... No more hotspot!
And now I'm vaping like a dragon!

Read my post a few pages back about flow dynamics. You're cutting yourself short by not using the nuts like you're supposed to.
I'm uploading a really quick video preview of the DID that I just filmed! I'll post a link when it's done uploading. Full review to come, this is just a little teaser.
I'm going to go into much further detail in the full video, but this should give everyone some idea of how mine is performing.
I like it better without the nuts. Vapor and flavor is better. No burned taste caused by the hotspot.
Out of sheer curiosity would anyone know offhand the approximate length of wire that can be reasonably used in one of these.
I did some calculations based on rweschler's ohm rating and it seems like he's using approximately 1.25 inches of 30 gauge for a 3 coil wrap. Anyone have any idea what the maximum length of wire that could be used would be, in say a 5 coil wrap(if that's possible). Perhaps 1.75 inches?. Trying to stock the right AWG of Kanthal in order to meet my desired ohm rating.
I know with variable voltage I can simply adjust the voltage but I find that with approximately 7 watts pumped through a 2.2ohm(3.9 volts) coil as opposed to the same 7 watts pumped through a 3.2ohm(4.8 volts) coil my batteries just get murdered on the 2ohm. Lose about half my vape time. It seems odd to me because technically the draw on the battery is not that much greater.
Edit: I've tested my battery life on matching Penelope's with 2ohm and 3ohm coils and with the same watts, different voltages....my battery life just gets killed on the 2ohm coils.
Edit 2: Amp/Watt mixup. Bleah.

Yep. Watts. Brain fart
I was thinking about amp draw on a battery while typing my post. IT ALL MIXED UP
