For the life of me I can't figure out why I'm always drawn to cocobolo. The mahogany goes really well with it too. I may just give my lady her mark 8 for a bottomfeeder like that one

Does anyone know whether or not a DID will fit in the tank opening?

I don't know what size the did is.. the hole will fit anything under .800 of an inch which is about 20 to 21mm..
This is my current list of Tanks that fit a .75" diameter opening. I suppose more might fit a .8" like the Mark-10 and the new model has.
Tanks that fit:
ACT v3 (tight)
Bella
Cartomators
Copper Creek Tank (Smoktech)
Chibi
Clean (reported to be .75")
DC
DCT Map tank
DID
J-tanks
Lava
Tanks that DO NOT fit:
Big Daddy
Gummy Tank
Lil' Momma
Liquinator
Magma
Phiniac
Anyone have any additions or corrections?

I'm so happy to hear this! Now I have a great excuse to pick up another rsm!
Cappy, as always, these look fantastic!

Ok, I have made you all wait long enough. Took some quick pics of them before I sand them with some fine sand-paper and put another coat of finish on them. I just put some hardware in them temporarily so you can see what the end result will look like.
I decided to free hand the outside shape of all the new mods. They all have completely rounded edges as that has always seemed the most popular, but I also brought them over to the spindle sander and went nuts on the edges some more. This way is much more fun for me and none of them will be exactly the same as another.
Here you go...
As you can see, a couple obvious advantages to this style is covered electronics, which is becoming more and more popular in box mods and also the tank is now nice and centered in the body. I don't have to offset it anymore to make room for the lid.
They use 18350 batteries. It's tight, but I've moved away from using 16340 batteries. They use dual 18350 batts for VV, or a single 18650 for 3.7v mode.
Mod dimensions, 2" x 1" x 5" tall. About the same as before.
The switch on the bottom is a three way switch. Push to the right for Direct battery/3.7v/battery check mode, center of OFF, and left for VV mode. Just like the Dual mode Cutlass 5.1 was.
There is now a view window so you can check your juice level in your tank without removing it, as long as you have a clear tank that is, lol. It will take a tank .8" in diameter or less.
Additionally, the electronics are not going to be glued into place anymore, so all I have to do is open the cover, pull out the naughty component, replace it and send it back home. It will keep the cost of repairs down alot.
Wow. Really nice! Love the 18350 decision, too.
Well ...
Finish is drying so I worked some more on the new bottom feeder design. Bit more tricky than the tank mod, but it looks like I can do it and keep the 2x1" dimensions even with a 18350 battery, so we will also have a dual mode bottom feeder soon.
I should be ready to start assembling them when the finish is dry, but, parts I ordered at the same time as the regulators have been here for 2 days, and I still don't have a shipping notice from Dimension Engineering and the regulators. Those people suck at getting things shipped quickly, but they sure make a nice regulator.
I might have to break out the Cutlass's and muskets fer the crew and show 'em we wan't our parts, and right soon! Arrrr

Hmm, speaking of which... once the Mods from the website are sold, just like the Cutlass 5.1, once they are gone they are gone, there will be no more unless you can get one from the classifieds. The new models will be the only thing I am making, I just don't have the resources to make a bunch of different types.
Time to knock off I guess, I will check back in later, arrrr
Thanks! I am trying to bring everything I've learned, all the good suggestions and comments I've gotten into one package, and still do it at about the same price. It may even work out!
My you are going to bed early lately, I should try to learn from your example.... g'night
Almost becoming customary for me to fire the last shot of the day. G'night crew.
