Title says it all. I'm thinking of doing that + scalloped tailcap. I'd like a smaller light E2DL.
For those who know what should we expect in terms of runtime and brightness?
Comments on this specific combo by users are welcome.
If I get around to it, I'll run my E2DL head on my Nitecore Extreme body with 1 cell, should be the same run time. Oooooh, this setup makes my E2DL RCR123 compatible!
I put my E2DL head on my E1B Body. Using a RCR123 rechargeable, the output is slightly brighter with the E2DL head vs the E1B head. I haven't conducted any runtime tests.
There has been few runs of custom made for 18650 E series compatible bodies in the past. I recently obtained a Mirage Man's split body 1x18650, but paid top dollars for it due to lack of availability.
Based on my experience, they are not easy to find.
They are a two-piece design due to the larger diameter of an 18650 cell. It won't fit through the opening of a regular E-series body. More parts, more machining, more $.
