That's a TranquillityBase, TB, 18650 body. I have two of them and they are just great. E series head and tail.

Thanks for the info! I know nothing about this body...got it from a fellow CPFer today. I love it because now the Tranzilla head is being used to its fullest potential.

My question to you, though, is what tailcap do you use? As you can see in the picture, the stock E tailcap is the smallest in diameter on the light...and I think it would look better if the tailcap was more like the rest of the body, or maybe even a bit wider. Thanks.

have a look at the TNC collection..?
they might do the job...?

The original Aleph tailcap was wider than current ones and would probably match that body nicely. They've been out of production for quite a while, although I do have a spare one in the parts box if you need it... :whistle:

Great offer from Milkeyspit. You can also go with the McClicky, which looks quite good on one of my TB bodies, wider than stock Surefire. Go for the Aleph tailcap, particularly if it has the two level switch.

hi milkyspit! Yes, that would be wonderful if you could toss that in with the Milky M3 Transgressor that you're sending out on Monday. Thanks! (Incentives...incentives...)

Thank you to everyone for the other suggestions. I'll check the other tailcaps too.

Looks like the Milky ML1 Q5 is a little bit brighter...:D

Yes, but that was when I was only driving the Tranzilla with a 17670 battery...but now that I have this new 18650 body, it's much brighter! Plus, the beauty of the Tranzilla is the color rendition. :)
