The Malkoff Front Porch

[thermal guy]

I’ll probably stick with the 18650 head then, since the MD4 body is just way too long for me.

Ya grab a 21700 body and your all set.

I really shouldn't have, but I fell for the low inventory and ordered two more 1AA bodies two nights ago, the newer bodies, obviously. I have two of the original 1AA bodies which made me fall in love with Malkoff's clips. Then I got a 2AA with the newer anodized clip. The anodizing smoothes out the very few sharp edges on the stainless clip that I didn't even notice until I tried the anodized clip. So I wanted a couple more 1AA with the newer anodized clip, and now I am into low double digits for the rest of the month. I hope to get some heads on them in May.

Am I the only one using Malkoff bodies for incan E? If not, plz prove it with pics. thx.

The simplicity, reliability and safety of single cell flashlights is worth a great deal.

I finally got the Wildcat 18650! If not for this forum, I would never have thought to remove the diffuser lens, but I like it better that way. When i unscrewed the bezel ring, it all came apart faster than I intended and there is a plastic retainer or spacer ring i was not expecting to encounter. I put the o ring on the outside, then the protective lens, then that plastic ring. Did I do it right?

I can’t help with your question but can we get some photos?

Yes that’s correct ( or at least the way mine is) My favorite light of all times is the wildcat on a MD3 Running 2 2300 18500. I run with the 1% diffuser from a hound dog as it cleans up the beam ever so slightly with out losing any noticeable throw.

Mine doesn’t have a retainer or spacer ring. Just an O-ring.

I believe Gene responded that the spacer ring should go between the diffuser and lens to create a bit of a gap.

Indeed. I called today and was told the same.

The original movie ending scene was the best.
In '68, to me, the suggestion of farewell to destructive mankind, and hello to cute mute girl was attractive thoughts 😁

When watching the modern version with a buddy he said "would you?".....I pondered that question for years.

So if I put the Malkoff Maglite module from a few years back now in my 3D to a 6D will it be brighter? Just curious.

Yep I was incorrect. I went home and looked at mine. That spacer is just to keep the diffuser away from the lens. Sorry.

If your module states 3-6cell.. I believe the output is regulated. I think you'll have better runtimes in the red 6D.
Have you thought of converting to li-lion?

The lighter weight will be helpful when running with it in Kung-Fu grip (-;

It's a 3-6 cell module in a green 3D.

No intention of going Li-Ion.

Matt Smith does a test with maximum and minimum allowable cells or their voltage equivalent. Drop ins were xpg-2. Start at 5:35 on this video and let it run a bit. This may give you an Idea.

Not ignoring your request. I took the ring out and now I can't find it.

Having just ordered an MDC 16650 and some random stuff to go with it, is there anything i should consider doing after getting it before i set out to proper use it?

 

[thermal guy]

Buy some 16650’s😁

I've got those already, got them when i got my Tactician. Getting some more wouldn't hurt, what brand are you running at the moment? Mine are Keeppowers.
