It's also nowhere near as stable.
I love my SG-1 but it still relies on the 510 connector.

I'm not sure how I feel about getting airflow through the mod past the battery. I think I'm ok with it though. The chances of a battery venting as you're taking a drag are insanely slim I'd think.

Not really a hybrid... You'll still have the 510. Here's the difference between the GG base which fits the MKB-TS, and the 510. The Herc already has the beefy GG threading as well as the 510
EDIT: The 510 connector on the Herc is pressed-in... It wouldn't be difficult to bend after a drop, or possibly pop it out.. You can see the seam around it from the inside:

Better get out the magnifying glass there Techno cause that's been machined there not pressed

I did...
The Chinese would not go to the expense of milling the connector from solid stock.. Much easier to press-in.. I would put it in a vice and pull it out to show you, but I only have the one base, and may sell it sometime..
Pretty sure the base on my Term C was machined, I'm not sure why they'd change it.
There's been at least one post of the Term-C 510 connector coming off after a drop.. It was said to be glued somehow.. I suspect it's pressed into a recess on the bottom..

Ya but he is wrong, they crack at where I have marked with the arrow because of how thin it is. They should have just left it like v1 Oddy and let folk notch out airways if they have a Provari.
I'm one of those poor souls that witnessed it first hand, I dropped it

Add me to the list of poor souls, you can see where the 510 connector was sheared off on mine.

How can a solid piece of SS stock crack and break at that point if milled out of one piece?
It's thin as paper on the outside of that raised area around the 510. I'm leaving work now, when I get home I'll post a picture of it
I also have v1 and v2 bases and know the difference.. What I'm trying to say, if they were not a separate piece, and milled from the same stock as the base, it shouldn't crack or break at all no matter how thin the lip is..
Anyhow, the Odysseus was never really designed for a 510 base. Imeo just made them later to please folks who wanted to use them on other mods. We could banter back and forth all day, but until I see hard proof that the connector/lip is milled out of one piece of solid stock, I won't believe it. It does not make sense on the manufacturer's standpoint to do so otherwise at the price-point offered.

Until I got my MKB, I used the Termi/nautis on the draw tube.
I have broken/sheared off three of those queefing 510 connectors.
Even went so far as to mill out a recess on the draw tube top cap so the "replicas" sit flush.
Still the 510 being the only connection point a 1mtr drop defeated my efforts.
Now the Termi/nauti guts live in GG bases. Solved.
P.S.
Anyone find a use for the 510-less bases? or the perfect 510 connector that pops off?

I have also had the misfortune of dropping my term c and breaking the 510 connector. Took it to a friend who always bragged that he can weld two pieces of foil together and told him to prove it, and he unbelievably succeeded in welding it back together again with no leaks afterwards. It will never break again either. Used this base while waiting for a replacement to arrive and it is still working after another drop! Have changed to the gg base in the meantime and no more worries...
Note the part around the 510 it the thick part, look at the larger part right at the break to see just how thin it is.
Well all so it could sit on a Provari and still breath

Seeing is believing I guess... Piss-poor machining at it's finest..
It would have been better with a thicker base, recessed, and pressed-in than that..
