hey dj, what's up. you're more than welcome here bro, as is any modder from the forums here, we're all brothers with the same interests and goals, all modders are welcome in my thread 
you and george did an awesome job on this 510 man. I used to build spring loaded 510's from fatdaddy pins so I know exactly what you mean, def not the kind of thing that can be made very compact because of the range needed and the space for compression needed. mine were hand made and def more crude but worked the same way really
I used to use a compressed gasket at the bottom of the cup though, the way you guys used a tiny o-ring at the head is really cool and makes it relatively compact for what it is all things considered. it's really just about perfect for most mods, mine just required an extremely shallow design because there's a battery right under the atty instead of a bottle. my current 510 design is extremely short
and yeah, I bought a few of the evolv 510's hoping I may be able to bottom feed them but I agree there pretty much crap, especially as far as possibly bottom feeding them anyway.. I never even used one in anything tbh, they're in a bag somewhere and probably never be used for anything
man you guys keep saying it's only 4mm but this 4mm is really fuggin killing me. I pressure tested the VT 510 this morning and it seemed really good, I really like this thing so I decided to go back to the drawing board and try and build a new mod body adding the .15" to the width to accommodate it. I pulled a double today and winded up building a whole new mod body from scratch to fit the new 510... I guess it's not so bad really, but 15 hundredths is 15 hundredths no matter how you slice it. I'd be lying if I said I like it just as much as without the extra 15 hundredths... yeah I can slim the bottom down and round it off and shape it to kinda accept the extra width, but truth is, honestly, it's better without it than with...
I shaped it a bit and slimmed down and tapered the lower part of the mod so it doesn't feel too much bigger in the hand than without the extra width... the good thing is now it fits great with the VT 510 but there's no denying that it's not quite as narrow and sleek as it was... I'm torn here, I like the mod better from a maintenance free point of view with the new 510 but I like it better from a size point of view with the old setup....
it's not final shaped or sanded here so don't judge the finish, it's still rough, both of these are just testing units. could only do so much in one day, tomorrow I should be able to install a chip and complete it for more testing and final shaping. even the bezel needs more rounding too, but this is about the size of it with an extra .15"
