I think the two side holes would be great for the adjustment buttons, but I have also been wanting to put a pot in a mod for the adjustment. I have messed with a thumb wheel pot on the bench and I really like it.
The only issue is if the sheath of your battery is damaged... if you're aware of the risk, its no issue. If you're really paranoid... wrap your battery in a layer of electrical tape.
I don't use battery with damage sheaths in my mods anyway... even right side up.

I'm really liking it now. I think stock it was good even though it didn't have the magnetic switch they said it did when I preordered it but it is very well built. The only thing I didn't like about it when I got it was the switch. It had a really long throw and was hard to push. With the magnets on the inside holding the battery it made fixing the switch a problem. Before I did anything I took some tension out of the spring and when I put it back together the magnet was so strong it pulled the button in and it got stuck firing. If you shorten the throw it isn't much of an issue but that or ripping the magnets out is the only way I could find to fix it. If you don't mind that and a raised 510 it is good or if you plan to mod it I think it is great for the money.
That sums it up, that and if the battery short circuits, I guess being aware of the risk is on you, not the manufacturer then.
Seriously, can you explain the risks of running the bat upside down? I've never heard this before.
well, the battery short circuiting is a risk regardless of it's orientation...
the only obvious one:
If the sheath of the battery is damaged, that allows the metal casing of the battery (-) to contact the inside of the tube(+)
No Bueno.
with a battery in it's conventional orientation... a damaged sheath wouldn't matter... as the casing and tube would both be (-)
With a spring, it will collapse, preventing injury to you, but not the battery likely
So, that's it??? Like you said, I don't use batteries with damaged sheathing anyways, sooooo......

I haven't used a spring in my GG in almost 2 years....still got my face.
LOL, yeah definitely no bueno. I got about half way through typing an explanation, then deleted it. You covered it right there.

I'm glad you still have a face, faces are nice to have.
Smokey says only you can prevent face fires.

Well my NZonic has no spring... so I'm spring averse anyway
I fail to see how battery orientation makes any difference if we're talking about a device with no spring.
Of course if there's actually any logic and/or science behind this claim we'd all appreciate seeing it rather than sarcastic comments.

Yeah, I've got an opposing magnet switch in my GG - I think I may need to get one of those NZonics in the near future.
I knew a guy who never wrapped his tools in electrical tape too. I wrapped them for him. He was glad the day he melted a wrench when accidentally shorting a high power circuit.
post #869, and jokes aren't always sarcastic, I guess it depends on how you read them.
