That's what I do, You want to minimize O2 exposure. So I break it into smaller bottles for storage so as I open a bottle to use some I'm not exposing the whole batch fresh air.
I've heard people store theirs in the freezer in glass bottles. Since it doesn't actually freeze solid, is glass necessary?

OK so just what size does a block of stabilized wood need to be? People keep posting links to wood sources and I keep looking but I don't know what sizes are ok or not, or what kinds of wood are ok.

Its best to ask pdib what size he is comfortable using. All mine have been 1-7/8 x 2-5/16 x 4-1/4 blocks for the mods I have had made.

Your best bet is to just check with Peter. The size also depends on whether or not you want a wood top and bottom cap or button.

And that is what I am doing. :)
I am curious though because even the oversized blocks shown at the site "he" posted the link to don't appear to be thick enough to me.

In all likelihood I will choose from something he has but my curiosity has me looking when a site link is posted, although there is a block there that I absolutely love.

It is not a requirement to buy your own block of wood. Pdib supplies his own, but you may supply your own. Ask Pdib before buying any wood, as what you are looking at buying might be unsuitable to make an OliveR out of, and become an expensive wheel chock.

I had made a policy of not publishing required wood sizes. This was to facilitate some direct communication, and to prevent any misunderstandings and/or surprises (of the bad sort). I would humbly ask that you PM me, Claudia.

Another dibi problem for me. Little guy is fixed but is obviously not making contact somewhere because it is not firing. The magnets are tightly sealed and there is little to no gap in between the caps and body.. I have no idea what's going on, I'm pulling my hair out cause it's my only vape setup at the moment. I'm about to drink eliquid, I need my nic. LOL

I tried tightening/untoghtening all the screws that are in there but no worky. There are a couple scratches on the contact screws so I'm thinking that may be it..

Funny part is it worked fine before I went to bed last night. Woke up and went to grab it and nope. Nothing.

make sure the threaded brass rod that runs through the middle of the Dibi is making proper contact on both ends....this was a problem i had that had an easy solution when i was having firing issues.

I tried twisting and turning that and messing around with it. Only thing that happened was make it impossible to seal the magnets/made a gap. :(

Adjust the center screw so that it slightly pushes the bottom down. Then adjust the top nylon screw so it pushes the top up slightly.

This will make sure that you have good contact from bottom to top. If it works then you tweak it so that the top and bottom sit flush.

That did it for me.

I turned the center screw clockwise from the top so it would essentially push down on the bottom cap (just enough so it wouldn't make a gap), and the nylon screw counter clockwise for the same result, there's actually a bit of a gap but it's working good so I'm not touching it lol.

You sir are awesome, +1 internets for you.

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
And nuppin’ else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nuppin’ else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nuppin’ else matters

Never opened myself this way.

Life is ours, we live it our way.

All these words I don't just say.

And nuppin else matters.
