probably. Most likely. could well be. You are, indeed, the first person in #7, so it would follow.

anytime somebody says "just", there's gonna be trouble (it's a rule I have).
I'm not cramming all that in there. I'm already crazy tight with what I've got.

not. nope. can't. won't.
no "another" nothin'
things are quite literally so tight down there, that it drives me crazy just trying to fit what I've got.
the magnets are 3/16" diameter. Nothing with a footprint bigger than 3/16 can replace them... The magnets are 3/16 because that's the biggest size I could reasonably fit.
I almost eliminated the one set screw because it was so impossible to fit it + magnet on the one side. (gdeal talked me out of it .. . . he smart)
Thank you, malkuth. And I've been thinking about this. It's wood. It moves. A battery that just fits snug indoors in the winter (forced air heat) isn't even going to fit in there on a warm, humid spring day. SO . .. . decision: there will be a little rattle. If the fat o-ring don't fit, flip the battery or remove a spacer at bottom contact. Use a little piece of tape in the winter. Take it out in the summer.
Pdib I like it as it is. I am a button masher too but have adapted the way I hold the mod to deal with that. I too like to take it all apart easily. Some batteries rattle, others are so tight I have to pull off the top to push them out. I am very happy with the Oliver Dibi as is.
I'm not sure that either a camlock or a dzus fastener would be a good idea, since they would stick out and not allow the OliveR to sit on it's bottom as intended.
Something I just thought of, that might possibly warrant consideration, yet might be too complicated would be a tongue/groove solution (basically make the bottom cap slide into the bottom of the main housing from one side, still retaining the magnets to keep it from sliding back out, kind of like how a REO door slides into its body. The bottom cap could also still be the same height.)
However, this would cause Pdib many more headaches I'm sure, and to modify the original design might be more trouble that he feels it is worth it.

For that one, I'd definitely ask Pdib to write a big giant #69 across the entire back of it in red sharpie...
then I'll just have a chat with Mr. Thumb... no reason to button mash like I do anyway haha
for some reason on my reos I have a habit of needing to feel the battery being pushed down for ignition. been paying attention today and there's no reason for my behavior unless my mod needs to be cleaned. on my mini, I had a horrible habit of locking the button accidentally and I suppose feeling the battery being pushed down was the green light to vape so-to-speak. button locking issue not apparent on grand.
I agree..
btw AW IMR are notoriously variable in lengths I mark the ones that fit best and designate to my b/f.
the magnets are awesome i always marvel how strong they are and usually swap batts from the bottom.
fwiw i'm swapping batts often with 0.40 ohms RM2 which i find the most gratifying resistance for this little powerhouse
I don't know the details... but he was unlocatable, so I'm not sure if he forfeited his spot or just got bumped down til he shows up... all I know is, I'm in this one
I'm super happy for you GG. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Please tell me you ordered the full OliveR (with matching button and caps). Mine wasn't able to have them, yours should.
Actually, pdib said mine could be done full wood... and I asked for the richlite caps because I liked the contrast better

You mean..... M.A.S.H. Lied to me?

Remember they had to keep the still hidden.
I cut a 1" strip from a business card and inserted that with the battery, all rattle problems solved and it's still not too tight to slide out easily enough, the strip of business card stays in the bore with battery swaps and completely eliminates any rattle, no orings necessary now.
I'm really glad to hear others are happy with it the way it is, I was trying to stress that I don't see this as a big "negative" or as a big flaw in the design and said it may just be me, just that my preferences would be a rock solid connection, and for a button masher it can be a bit finicky as-is. also I see it more problematic for me with the one screw tightened than no screw with the floating cap. personally I will replace the opposing magnet with a screw, I can get the battery out from the top no problem, if it winded up being a little snug that smacking it against my palm will surely eject the battery. with the slice of card stock though it slides in and out readily enough for me to not be a problem.
I am getting more used to the whole pinky thing too, but will still do the screw thing

Nah... Back then they used to air-drop budweiser, playboy and marlboro's to my pops at his little jungle camp. Now, we cant even have a playboy.
It's ok... My liver needed a break anyways... No worries though! I have some tasty stout aging in my storage unit while i'm here... There very well may be a drunken monkey wearing a gorilla suit surfacing on youtube when i get home
