Custom Triple Copper Surefire E1e & E2e (XGP2/219)
Short: no/yes
Long...
There is one model of Triple V5 board.
There are two configurations of Triple V5 board:
30w limit - XPL
21w limit - 219
The Wasp provides the best thermal implementation of this performance, but these boards were designed to cope with a variety of mounting applications. So the same boards with same limits are going into all V5 items, including the E2's. There will be no physical difference versus the V4 E2's. Same head, same copper, same heatsink, no vents. These setups will rely on two features of the board itself:
automatic real time thermal regulation
customer selectable modes and output
In practice, it will be just as safe to run as the V5 Wasp. The same 65c limit will get hit sooner and stay in effect longer. So 1) each customer gets to decide how extreme they want to go and 2) the board will deal with however high that is. Dudes who want mild can go mild and dudes who want wild can go wild.
I've been very pleased with my V1 copper E2e. Of course, use on high is limited because of the low thermal mass and resulting quick temperature rise. Are you thinking of an open-air head for the V5 E2e? Are we talking about a 30 watt E2e here?
