Oops! I was up all night last night, and did not read your question closely enough Slim. I thought we were still talking about the new PCC.
The clearomizers I don't know about currently. Last I checked he still wasn't satisfied with how the prototypes were performing, and was still working on it. But all they had were a few handmade prototypes, so he couldn't let me have one to test myself. I'll ask about that tonight too.
OK, new info!!
The MaxxFusion clearomizers are through the prototype stage, and I will have samples first thing next week. I will keep you posted.
The NEW Bloog exclusive adjustable PCC however is still not even through the computer stage of the design. Our engineer was NOT satisfied with his assistant chief engineer's work on it, even after several attempts, and has promised to take over the project personally and have that stage done by the end of next week.
OK, I promised to check on those and let you know tonight. Now I'm off to bed. 
Thanks for the update Leaford. I find it interesting to know the stages the different projects are in, and to follow the progress. Makes me feel like a part of the process somehow.
Thanks Zotzer and Frick. Not having used them I would not have known the downside of them being clear. I mainly just want to be able to tell when I need to refill without a lot of guesswork. And I was thinking I'd rather see inside the cartomizer so I could monitor whether anything was burning, melting, scorching, etc. But again, I have no experience with these yet, so your feedback is helpful.
I'd be willing to spare one if you want. PM me your addy and I will mail one over.
Thanks Red, that's a very nice and generous offer. I sent you a PM.
Absolutely. No way we can let a thread stay on topic for more than a day. 2 days tops!
And evie, luv, since I've been summonsed, I'll do my best. Unfortunately I'm not too inspired.
So how 'bout we just focus on making this clear for beginners? What we need is a system for names, not just a name. That way if you know the system, you know where each of the models fits.
I remember a funny exchange where leaford and... was it starsong, maybe slim? Anyway, they couldn't get it straight about which upcoming pcc design they were talking about. It included something like "wait, do you mean the new-new pcc, or the new old pcc or the yet to be designed new-new new style pcc?" So here's the new-new naming system.
The newest current model PCC will always be called the "Newest PCC". So when shopping you will be assured of buying the newest product.
New PCC designs in development will always be called the "new newest PCC". Additional "new"'s will be added for however many revisions in the future we are talking about.
Each existing PCC will be designated with an "old" for each generation outdated it is.
It'd go something like this:
Fusion PCC = old-old PCC
Maxx Fusion PCC = old PCC
Mini PCC = newest PCC
mini pcc with adjustable 65-78 battery compartments = new-newest PCC
mini pcc style 78+ batteries = new-new-newest PCC
PCC fitting in an android phone with cold fusion generator and built in holodeck = new-new-new-newest PCC
Once the new-newest design is in stock, it becomes the newest, and everything drops down a tier. I know, I know, simple and concise to a fault. It's my greatest flaw.

Man, I miss a lot when I ignore this thread for a few days! 
Hey Leaford-
About clearomizers.... if the problem is always the plastic cracking, why not make it metal, like current housing, but with a plastic "window" on two opposite sides?
It would run long ways, almost the length of the cartomizer. and since there'd be two windows on opposite sides, you could still see through, especially in the light.
Seems the plastic cracking is the only problem holding these back.. so why not think out side of the box? which happens to be half way back to where we started.

Once more then I'm going to drop the subject:
The website currently describes the mini pcc as only being able to hold 65mm (mini) batteries. Makes perfect sense.
If you are all trying to tell me the website is wrong, and the mini only refers to the fact that the pcc itself is a bit smaller than the previous model, and it really does hold 78mm bats, then PLEASE update the website. I purposely didn't try to buy one because I believed what I was being told, that my 78s wouldn't fit in it.
For a new name - please make it something that makes sense so the shoppers don't end up too confused to buy it.
Thanks.
hi star, you are correct, the current mini-PCC only fits the 65mm batteries. See below, where Leaford addressed this last night. But I agree with you, the PCCs that will be designed in the future to fit more than the 65mm batteries should not be called mini anything.
