question about diameter of riva vs. ego

[Zelphie]

Is the riva and wider in diameter than the ego?

I saw a thread on this forum showing in a picture that the riva is a bit wider in diameter (although not all that noticable), but I can no longer find that post.

Anyone that has both, Id love to hear what you have to say.

I just compared the Riva to an eGo, and the eGo is almost imperceptibly larger in circumference. Same length.

The Ego's are a tad thicker in diameter. You'll not feel the difference holding it in your hand.

I just meassured both.

The Riva - .551" DIAM
The eGo - .550" DIAM

Same - Same

edit - both were Stainless Steel finish. No Rubberized coating.

I have both. I vote for same for both. If different - not detectable to ordinary humans.

 

[zoiDman]

Just for a frame of reference.

A sheet of ordinary printer paper is about .003" thick.

So when the difference of two batteries is .001" in diameter, it is about 1/3 of the thickness of a sheet of piece of paper.

To machinist, a good machinist, a perceivable difference. To ordinary humans, no, no difference.

Thanks everyone.

No problem here for asking. I think it's OK to be other than "ordinary". That's extraordinary. But my suspicion is that if measured again, numbers might reverse at 0.001 inches. Even more so if I was using a 12 inch ruler to do the measuring - with a beer or two. Not that the measuring person here used such a method - but .001 is a close call. Again - IMO.
