as I had mentioned in /new-members-forum/12835-simplesmoke-whitecloud-what-model.html
I ended up ordering carts from smoke51, they arrived today and they do not fit the whitecloud batteries.
the thread seems slightly different but more importantly, the cart does not make contact with the battery.
here some of the pics, hopefully this helps the next person.
orangebrown is smoke51, white is whitecloud.
as an additional note, the UPS notice listed smoke51 as Smoke Anywhere USA, Inc
You can see that the WC has two ridges on the edge of the inside of the cart, around the hole, that is what makes contact with the battery completing the circuit. Even is the threading was the same, it would probably still not work, since the battery doesn't screw in far enough(i guess). the air holes are different size as well, though that would probably not make much difference except in draw.
The S51 was packaged in a foil backed blister pack, with the same two rubber tips and plug. My SO wouldn't let me mess with her battery too much, so I did not have much chance to macguyver some hack to make them work.
(well I guess I can't link to flickr images either, so I attached a txt file with the link to the album instead)
