Finally some updates.
Battery shipping from UK to Denmark took 3 weeks because of that no good shippingcompany, the retarted driver couldent find my adress and he dident thought of calling me despite my cell number was on the parcel :whoopin:

Charged batteries and all ready to go @£$€"#¤% the Vapex D cells are longer than standard

4 hours later a custom endcap has seen the light of day

Heres the difference

Runtime will follow shortly.

Nice tailcap, I particularly like the sling swivel, but couldn't you just completely remove the spring from the stock tailcap and mill out exactly enough aluminum from it to provide just enough positive pressure on the cell stack while also referencing off the contact shoulder of the tailcap / body tube? It would have to be a pretty precise depth, but should be doable.

I've seen other 'springless' mag tailcap mods on CPF so I think it would work fine. :shrug:

Careful nobody tries to crack it in half over their knee, like one might do to a stick! I also wouldn't toss the sling around a post from any distance - that might distort the centre set of threads, too. That thing is a beast!

The following would be the most likely result of that situation:

If you make a 7x XPG head, that would be 2500 lumens for 6 hours!!!!
