Since many folks have asked to see how the new spring loaded 510 connectors are working out, I figured having a few photos centrally posted would be the best solution to give my email inbox a chance to recover.

How they sit on the shank face

And a working model fit into my LS Huntsman
This shank was left short intentionally, as I didn't particularly want to re-shank this pipe, but just re-fit with the new connector. New builds will have a slightly longer shank (~5/16") that will effectively equal the final length of the prior generations with the heat sink.

As always - you guys see it first here, and I'm always interested in your thoughts.

Even the short shank looks good. I can't wait to see some finished pipes with these. Way to go Ken. You just keep improving.
