Im putting this here in glass because that's whats going in it.
So, effectively this is what we are working with as far as the case. A pelican 1200 actual space allotment for rig will be 8.5" long x 5" +/- wide x 3.5" deep (from lid to bottom)
http://www.pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=1200
I already had the shell from combustion days and the foam had been pieced to bits over the years and stank of combustion so i ditched the foam and ordered a replacement. Well, while cleaning the other day guess what butterfingers did with his little travel rig? wa-wa-waaaaa yup snapped the mouthpiece right off... and i'm going on vacation in around a month... and i got GAS!
so... the issue is choosing... my wife says to me... well butterfingers, i guess u need tuffer glass with those ogre hands! which is of course license to me to go shopping for what daddy likes!
I was first thinking about a beer rig:

but boy does that make butterfinger ogre hands cringe at cleaning with the last rig i had being very similar in size and shape.
so she says well get something a little bigger since you seem to have issue with little rigs.
i love my wife!
so i see the nerds i think any would work, but the mouthpiece is just so out there asking to be snapped... but its 5mm glass, my last one was 3mm at its best... i would prolly go with the 50mm or 60mm with the 14mm fitting as it would prolly slip nicely with a pencil torch and spare tane on the other side... great for travel.

i have concidered the bates worm rig as well... but way up the price...

i've considered some of the Dave Goldstein mini bubblers, but they just seem to be a wee bit to tall and the base its about 1 inch too wide... i think that they just get ruled out cause even if i could make the 9" height work... the base it just putting the kinks on...
but... there is this: http://aqualabtechnologies.com/conc...tions-inline-to-showerhead-vapor-bubbler.html
the more i look at the Kind Creations rig... the more i like it... it would be a tight fit, but the torch im gonna grab is this little blazer: http://aqualabtechnologies.com/supplies/blazer-torches/blazer-cordless-pencil-torch-black.html so i think i can make that work... i only dont know the actual thickness of the glass... is it at least 5mm?
so i guess it comes down to the wife, but if she hits me on price were gonna be looking at the nerd rigs i think... do u think they are tuff enough?
if price is up to 400 then that does open up the batesxworm diffuser and the KC inline to showerhead rig.
where would u go with this? just looking for some opinions other than my own rambling thoughts... do u have a 1200 case that you use for ur rig? lets see it!
hell i even put up a poll... for fun.
