Which Conversion Head for E1E-BK?

PseudoFed · Oct 6, 2008

I've heard about the Optics HQ heads. Any other 2 or multilevel LED heads for my black E1E (which I've not even received yet..:shakehead)

Links would be appreciated. Thanks....

+1 on the NiteCore Extreme.

Thanks. I have an Extreme, but it will NOT, I repeat NOT thread onto my E series bodies. The E bodies seem to have a longer threaded portion and after a couple turns I'm not willing to apply the force needed to maybe finish it. Threads cleaned and lubed. Kinda disappointing since I bought Extreme hoping it would go on E1B body. Any suggestions welcome.

The only problem with the KX1 is that it's not available in black. I wish it were.

Weird. I've tried my Extreme head on every Surefire and aftermarket E-series body I own, and it fits and works just fine on all of them. Maybe Nitecore changed something between runs?

Went through the same last year. One thought, which I didn't follow up on: send the KL1 to Milky for modding.

You could just get an E1B, take off the head and sell the parts remaining!

Doh! I had it backwards. My Extreme head WILL thread onto my E1E body and other E-series body. The reverse however is not true. I was looking forward to using the Extreme Body with my E1B head, but the E1B, E1E, E1L, E2L heads I have will NOT thread onto the Extreme body. They go on about half way and then would require great force to complete. I'm not cross-threading, and all parts are cleaned and lubed. It's weird, and I can't explain it....

My findings as well. There are a few E-series compatible heads that will work with the Extreme body, but I can't remember what they are offhand.
