After the first hit on the DBSB I knew I needed a different mouth piece, or mod one. I saw some other members on the forum talk about it, so I know I'm not alone.
I had a couple ideas, but aside from actually machining one out of nylon or something, this was the smallest method to me.

These are all the parts I used. The U fitting and grommets were from O'Reily's auto parts. The long metal tube is actually a kr-808D1 passthrough that died on me. The air flow valve (not pictured) is for aquariums. It is designed to slowly drip water when acclimating new fish. The round tips are from 2 501's, and the flat tip is from a 901.
I'm pretty sure you know where to get a DBSB.......

I drilled a hole in the U fitting and placed the cut down PT on top of it. I proceded to lather it with ample amounts of hot glue to secure it in place.
I removed the mouth piece cover and the internal spacer on the 501 carts. Then I put the grommet on the U fitting barbs and pushed them into the open top of the 510 carts. I don't really need the hot glue around the top of the 510 carts, but the grommet could wiggle loose, and I didn't want them to come off. I am going to remove the hot glue on the bottom and drill holes into the existing 510 caps and epoxy the U fittings in them. I just did the hot glue because I wanted to test it, and because it's not permanent.
The blue valve on the side is attached to the last barb. You can use this to control air flow!!!! If you tighten it all the way down, you will only draw on the 510s, but if you unscrew it a bit, you'll actually get some extra air in there.
This can give an easier draw if you don't like the 510's and can also add air if you think the DBSB is too much!
I like it because I can direct inhale on the DBSB, but not everyone can. If I let my girlfriend take a drag it would probably kill her! Now I just unscrew the knob a few turns and it makes the hit really weak!

With this setup (901 tip) it is actually slightly longer then an 801 atty.

With a round endcap on the y-pipe, now it is slightly shorter then the 801!
THE DRAW IS AMAZING! No more unwanted air being drawn in from not getting my lips around two mouth pieces!
The air valve works perfectly by the way. True ability to control the draw. And it adjusts in very small amounts, so you have great control!
I'll post some pics when I clean up the hot glue and make it more sleek.
This was also my first attempt, I'd like to make another that's cleaner. Something I'd feel confident taking in public......
In the mean time what do you think?
