I have recently purchased an Olicamp Anodized 24oz Space Saver Mug. So far I really like it, but have one concern.

The graduation marks on the mug are not correct. They are positioned on the mug too high and will read inaccurately. I have attached a picture of my mug holding 16 oz. of water (confirmed with 2 different measurement cups). You will see that it reads almost 2oz low.*I have emailed Olicamp to see if they will send a replacement.

1. I gotta assume you're not using a measuring cup for dry goods and are using one for liquid.

2. Every now and again gigs get set up wrong, it happens, and quality control doesn't catch it. I'm sure they make good on it.

Plus its a small difference.... and you know about it. So its not too big of a deal. Just remember it when you measure... Plus the difference between 13oz instead of 15oz isn't huge.

But nobody would think you're being anal about it if you swap it. We all want proper gear.

I must admit that you are indeed correct. I never knew that there were two separate units of measure, both for Volume. It would appear that both of my measurement cups are of the "dry" variety. There is a 50mL difference with the Liquid Volume being greater by 50 mL. This supports the condition seen in the Olicamp.

I will add that I got a very fast, friendly, and professional email from Oilcamp willing to stand behind their product and make this right.

FWIW, I have the Olicamp XTS pot and its graduation marks seem to be spot on.
