    Please help a 18650 noob.

    Thanks for the warnings guys. I had no idea. Just ordered a short 18350 tube for the Convoy and hopefully that will allow me to use 1 CR123 and be done with this quest.

    Please help a 18650 noob.

    Thanks for all the responses folks. On a lark, I popped in 2 123s and they fit fine, with just a little space around them, but no rattle. Nitecore spacer in the mail.

    Please help a 18650 noob.

    I bought a Convoy S2 (not an S2+ if that matters). No idea what LED, driver, etc. I'm not a modder. This is my first 18650 light. I actually tried to cancel the order after looking for batteries for it because the variety and complexities of 18650 and chargers is literally mind boggling. I've...

    County Comm Ti split rings?

    yea, I have one. It's definitely black, maybe a tinge of blue from the process. the ti rings I have are flat and silver, vs the rounded black one. and they only sell the black ones in one size. so there's no chance I got a batch of black ones by mistake, if that's what you were getting at.

    County Comm Ti split rings?

    hmm, don't think they sell blued ones. they have anodized black ones. where did you see blued ones? regardless, mine are a-magnetic, but they don't look, feel, or sound like ti.

    County Comm Ti split rings?

    I just got a handful of CC's Ti split rings, 3 of each size, small, med, and large. Compared to my McGizmo Sapphire 25 (titanium), and the clip/ring it came, and my visual memory of every other titanium item I've seen, the County Comm rings look like blue steel, almost like zinc. Every other...

    Any way to mod a Sapphire 25?

    Well now, this is quite interesting. surely I'm not the first to discover that a Peak Eiger head fits and functions PERFECTLY on a Sapphire 25...? Looks quite nice too.

    Any way to mod a Sapphire 25?

    Thanks for the reply. The Sapphire is truly enigmatic. The more I use it, the more I want to use it, and simultaneously, the less useful I find it. I will contact DaFab...thank you. Someone talked me out of the QTP Peak. Said it was too flaky and not smooth. Sounded plausible, so I...

    Weirdest flashlight concept I've seen in quite awhile

    I have a smaller version in Xmas tree format. Had it on my computer monitor at work all season.

    Any way to mod a Sapphire 25?

    I took delivery earlier this week of a lovely Sapphire 25. It's a work of art. While I'm sure it's terrific for use in dark rural settings and suburban glove compartments and basements, here in NYC, with all the transient ambient light, I'm finding the Sapphire to be too dim to be of any...

    Nitecore Defender Infinity- get one or not?

    Cool looking light. I bought one from Pinnacle, who actually still has stock somehow. $65. I returned it the day after. For me, the clicky was too loud and required too much force. I also found the interface to be a bit annoying, which is odd because the EX10/D10 are one of the best UIs...

    Any Novatac programming experts?

    Thanks all. Think2x sorted me out!

    Any Novatac programming experts?

    I have successfully enabled programming on my 120T. Is there any way to essentially convert the UI to a 120E? I don't remember exactly how my 120E was, but I think it was low-med-high, or med-high. I really just want to permanently disable strobe and SOS, or at least move them to somewhere...
