I used a tube cutter to trim the Kiss mini. No mothpiece used after this mod. @Nube Scrutator has a detailed post on it if I recall correctly.

Still curious how you guys got this to work. All I managed to do with the tube cutter I got is squash and totally ruin the Kiss Mini.

You need to use a "stainless steel" tube cutter and leave the mouth piece in place while slowly cutting. Stainless steel tube cutters at this size are twice as much as regular ones, around $40.

I used this tube cutter: http://www.amazon.com/Reed-T10SS-Tubing-Stainless-Capacity/dp/B001H4K8A0/ref=redir_mobile_desktop/175-0031740-2375559?ie=UTF8&dpID=41L0BCZMa5L&dpPl=1&keywords=Reed stainless steel tube cutter&pi=AC_SX200_QL40&qid=1422828694&ref=plSrch&ref_=mp_s_a_1_1&sr=8-1

Yes I have a stainless steel blade in my tube cutter. The problem perhaps is just that I didn't leave the mouthpiece in. I didn't do that because that will force me to cut off more than I'd like. Did you pull the mouthpiece out a bit or just cut off a bigger chunk? I really only need to shave a tiny bit to fit it in the Okeanos. It's a shame they weren't just manufactured to that length.
Hmm now I am wondering if I could get an attachment for my Dremel that would work better for this.

Yes exactly what the man says. Also start slow. Cut it very slow adjusting the cutter wheel in small increments. It will take a few turns to make a clean cut.

Will try again with the mouthpiece in and go real slow. This time I won't use a brand new cart either hah.

Now to figure out how to get this GD mouthpiece out. Btw, my tube cutter was not a ss cutter, but says it's designed for thin walled conduit -- only took a few minutes.
Edit: Probably should have cleaned the tube inside first, it was just all gummed up. Fits great, thanks for the hot tip, guise.
Anyone else swap the bottom pin (terminology?) on their 7.4v KISS w/ the open one from the Okeanos' KISS cart (or a KISS mini, I suppose)? I'm enjoying the 7.4 Okeanos

Just got my 8 and right out the box no adjustment at all my sr71 seems to heat up faster and perform better overall I'm very happy with it
Thank you again @THC SCIENTIFIC you are the man
Edit: just sat the 8 next to the Persei and realized I need an omicron just to complete the name

I leave mine unplugged when not in use I'd rather not wear it out leaving it on all the time and sometimes mine gets a little bit warm so id rather not risk it

Mine is cool to the touch after leaving it plugged in for a few days. Just added some tasty shatter to my herc and back to flavor city. but have been a lot of blinking issues with my v3 top. Maybe it's time to buy the hammer top. Would the blinking issue warrant an upgrade to the v4 upgrade?

If it were me, I would go ahead and get the Hammer top regardless of issues with your v3. Its nice to have a back-up top on hand for when the v3 does eventually poop out on you. Then, you will have the Hammer to hold you over until the new v4 top arrives.
At least, this is how I have planned and equip myself. I like to be prepared for any eventuality.

Big thanks to @SamuraiSam for his pro tips on getting my 8 working. Turns out that it was a matter of too much pressure on the center post when the button was fully pressed. I've really been enjoying the shorty 8 setup with the dual coil globe + Nibb G. Off center logo is kinda goofy though.
Round two at shortening a Kiss Mini for use in the Okeanos was a partial success. Got a clean cut this time with my pipe cutter but can't get the mouthpiece back out hah! @ragnorokk how did you manage this? Did manage to separate the bottom trying. Interesting look at the inside of the Mini.

I'll have to try reversing the contact screw out on my 8 button assembly and see if I get better results.Big thanks to @SamuraiSam for his pro tips on getting my 8 working.

I actually was worried about pulling off the end while I was messing with mine, so I tried to grasp it around the edge toward the bottom to prevent that. I could tell I was really stressing it, but I was able to keep it in one piece. Honestly, I think a little VG to lube in the cracks would have helped, as would cleaning before hand. I screwed the bottom into my 8 to give me more to hold onto (removed contact pin, so I wouldn't jack anything up). In the end the only thing that got it out was pliers. I saw that messing with it had ruined the o-ring, so I just said meh and tore the mouthpiece out of there. Had to work it around at a 45 degree angle and move it in a circle a few times to deform the cut area back to a more reasonable size and allow me to yank it out. The tube REALLY wanted to deform the whole time, but I managed to keep it circular. It takes an odd combination of brute strength and finesse to keep from turning it into scrap.
Hopefully you can reattach the bottom to the tube and still use it.
Ack! Globe down!
Is this right? A new kiss globe is $14.99 and the boro glass replacement is $15.99? (Mine seemed to come with the boro glass already?)
I don't know for sure about the new globes being boro; I got the impression that it's not nessecarily borosilicate, or at least that it's not from the same source. If it is, then I feel like a total winrar, as I bought a handful of globes for me and friends. They aren't all the new style, though; I bought an o-phos style globe for a friend and it's the old type w/ 510 delrin (or something) mouthpiece, whereas the 601 and 510 mod globes I bought came w/ the nice blown glass similar to the replacement.

Yeah, this was without the drip-style metal top, but it seemed to be a molded piece rather than blown (though may be hard to tell if it was machined a bit better). If the boro piece shown is different, I wouldn't mind that price at all! (Currently finding some adapters I can cram it into to use as a mouthpiece or into a bubbler.. Seems effective, but doesn't have the grace I liked with that new-style globe piece I had for less than a week...)
hey @THC SCIENTIFIC I cannot wait for the info on the alpha, I just ordered my Persei yesterday and have been considering getting the Hercules ever since, once i find out WHAT the alpha is i can decide which one to get first!

Just ordered all 3...Dual Coil Nichrome, Dual Coil Titanium, and 1701 Globes. Anyone have any insight before I get them??? Whats the 1701? I have been out of it a bit

I notice the boro looks like it gets more use. Is it the straight gauge mouthpiece that has you using it more?For comparison from left to right; original Kiss Globe glass w/ detachable mouth piece, Kiss Globe glass as of my order last month, 'blue' boro replacement glass for Kiss Globe.

Honestly none of them really see much use. I tried out the blue boro replacement glass just for kicks while I was adjusting the 8. The original glass has been cleaned in an ISO bath before and I've never tried the new glass (middle).
So my sr71 definitely has a new home I'm not sure if im imagining it or not but I feels like my 71 is performing better on the 8
