BRASS / COPPER E to C (E2C) adapter *** SHIPPING ***

or alternatively, copper would take chrome quite well

That's good to know. I wasn't sure if chrome would stick to copper. I asked for aluminum though, because I wanted to keep this particular project as lightweight as possible.

As for stainless, I don't know if Chris even does those. It seems like it would be more difficult to machine, being a harder material. How does steel stack up to copper or aluminum for thermal regulation?

I'll take one in brass please!!

Did you start your 7/28 batch yet? I was wondering if I could get a raw (unanodized) aluminum E2C along with my copper. My intent is to get it hard-chromed for use on a stainless body.

Yes, I can get you a raw aluminum one before I send them to the anodizers. It seems it would be better to just get one made of stainless then to send one to get Hard Chrome Plated. You might be able to get it done for cheaper than me but my Platers would charge a minimum which is around $120.00 for the hard chrome plating.

A titanium E2C would probably look pretty nice on the stainless body. :wave:

I will buy one in Ti. What's the total?

Thanks for the info.

Do you make an E2C in stainless?

I'm not sure that I want to use titanium, because I am going to use a high output Quad drop-in that gets very hot. We know that titanium is not good for heat sinking. BTW how is stainless in that regard?

I have a gunsmith buddy who can do the hardchrome fairly cheap. He can also do Cerakote if I decide to go that route, so I would like to get a raw one for future projects regardless of what I get for this specific light (a FM stainless 1X18650 e series).

They are very nice.

Ah. Aluminum has a higher thermal capacity by weight than copper has, but copper weighs more so it has a higher thermal capacity by volume than aluminum has. Since the volume of the E2C Adaptor is the one thing that cannot change, that means the copper version will have the best thermal capacity. So you might want to get the copper one even though it weighs more, just so it can absorb heat for a longer time before it gets really hot. You might even decide to leave it un-plated to show off the lovely copper color.

I'm interested in one. But I'm unsure of the pros and cons of each material. Can anyone care to explain?
Tnx

Re: BRASS / COPPER E to C (E2C) adapter *** feeler ***

Copper: Excellent heat conduction, heavier than brass and much heavier than titanium, softer than brass and much softer than titanium, oxidizes dark brown and eventually green, doesn't require special lubrication.

Brass: Very good heat conduction, slightly lighter than copper but still heavier than titanium, harder than copper but softer than titanium, oxidizes tan and eventually dark brown, doesn't require special lubrication.

Titanium: It conducts heat , lighter than brass or copper, harder than just about everything, oxidizes clear, requires special lubrication to prevent threads from binding.

Unobtainium: Excellent heat conduction, lighter than titanium, harder than titanium, doesn't oxidize, makes you rich and famous, doesn't require special lubrication. (OUT OF STOCK)

Nice! Thank you for clearing that up. Is that ranking, also the order of it becoming "my precious"

I would say copper is more valuable than brass, mainly because it's so rare in the flashlight market. Titanium is actually probably more common than copper as a flashlight material, but it's still a distant third to aluminum and plastic.

Re: BRASS / COPPER E to C (E2C) adapter *** feeler ***

Please add me to the list for one in brass.

(and as many as I can get in Unobtanium, I LOVE that stuff.)

It seems like the Brass will get produced. The copper might get produced. I might have to make 5-10 copper just to put up on my store so the couple people that want them will get one. If I order copper it won't get here till tomorrow. Which is when I will finish the copper E2C's off. HA-Black and HA-Natural will go to the platers tomorrow.

The copper ones will not get made unless there is a min of 5 people on the list. Sorry, material cost is very high right now for copper.

Re: BRASS / COPPER E to C (E2C) adapter *** feeler ***

:sigh: That's the one I was most looking forward to.

I can help with this, let me just get caught up a bit. EM to be sent.

Hi, you can add me to this list:

COPPER PRICE: $36.00 - 45.00 (5-9pcs produced $45.00, 10+pcs produced $36.00)

Hopefully that is enough to go fwd with production.

Tnx!

Re: BRASS / COPPER E to C (E2C) adapter *** feeler ***

I am down for one copper but I would like another one to help out this batch. I still want a raw aluminum also.
