The text about non-magnetic caps is down in the specifications section and the non-magnetic caps are already available from Mtn.
Thanks! I found it. Definitely worth the $3.99 to me.

If you have any thread lube on, that might be making the connection bad, wipe it clean. You shouldn't have to twist it so tight to make a connection. Thread lube is notorious for interfering with the path. Great news though!
Mtn Electronics said they would sell the caps without magnets separately. Now I see that's gone away. Too bad, because I hate the magnet. It pulls the batter out when removing, makes it easy to drop.
I just got my D4S with the S4 3D, grey with amber aux, along with the D1S today. And it does feel a lot lighter, like a 1/2 oz at the tail cap.
Unless his XPG2 dedomes are being heavily underdriven, I highly doubt stock XPL HI can out-throw dedomed XPG2s. Only Black Flat can outthrow the dedomed XPG2.
Yes, dedoming emitters-- especially Crees, gives very green tint. Look at the original Olight Javelots for example.
Could always reflow new emitters. I personally would drop some Samsung 351Ds into it.I was originally excited about the Nichia, but I'm not really getting anything out of it. I really wish I went with the 5000K XPL HI or HD instead. It's not really worth selling ($10 ship and $5 here) for the price. Maybe I won't care after I get my Zebralight SC700d...we'll see.
Vinh's getting 3000 lumens and 125kcd with 4 white flats in it.
SST-20 5000K: 4000lm / 55,000cd
Aaaargh .. Hank really needs to stop doing that!
Vinh's numbers with the 2mm white flat: 4800 lumens, 110kcd.
