is anyone using veloplugs with deep v's?

there appears to have been quite limited discussion about velocity's veloplugs on this forum (either that or i don't know how to use the search function very well).

they seem like a neat alternative to rim tape for several reasons (no goo from tape, supposedly don't move around or wear out, provide more space for the tube, and weigh less) and i'd like to give them a shot for my next buildup, but i'd like to get people's first hand experiences.

i'm specifically interested in their compatibility with deep v's. velocity's website claims that the plugs will fit any rim with an "8mm web hole," which includes "most of the velocity line." however, that is specific as they get and i couldn't find the specs on deep v's web holes nor any first hand success of pairing deep v's and veloplugs on the internet. somebody on a different forum claimed to have had problems:
