Yes ↑. Thanks, VH. I'll be starting a second thread soon, devoted to technical info., specifications, how-to, troubleshooting, etc.
The way I've got it configured, pretty much any 18650 will fit. The Orbitronics tend to push the boundaries as they are actually (as I understand it) Pannies and Samsungs and such with a nose-job and a new jacket. Thus, they tend to be longer than a standard 65mm battery. I'm trying to accommodate them too; but without going crazy on length to house the little giants. If all you've got is Orbies, don't go buying other batts until you see if they fit. They just may.
In any case (and there will be more on this in the tech. thread), y'all need to know and understand the fuse in this setup, and how it works. I will link the fuse specs in the tech. thread; but for now. In order to properly protect your battery in a hard short, you need to be using high quality safe chemistry High Drain batteries. Let's put the baseline at a 10A max continuous discharge battery. The 10A fuse doesn't blow at a 10A draw. (I vape mine at ~13A all day everyday, and have yet to blow one). They blow almost instantly (say, 1/10th of a second) when the mod is shorted out and there's an draw of, say 30-60Amps (←just a guess there to paint the picture, I'll try and get a more accurate figure for the tech. files). In short, in order to feel that your battery wasn't harmed in a hard short, when the fuse blows, you need to be using batteries with a burst rating around 60-80 Amps. Not all manufacturers give that rating. But that's why I give the loose and unofficial guideline of an IMR (or other safe chemistry) battery with a max continuous rating of at least 10A.
Thanks for the good question, bones.
It should take pretty much any atty. I'm sure there's an exception; but I don't know of it.
Just a note on the rm2: if you get that for a Dibby, get the unmilled one

Nice catch. I didn't even know there's a milled version of the RM2. I thought the REO was the one being milled.
