Well, if you have it in hand, it'll either fit or not. Visually check for obvious short circuit condition before you put a cell in. I want to say there's a need for a spacer ring? I have had to add springs to some dropins in some hosts.

What fits and what doesn't is pretty hit or miss besides Malkoff.
If you ever try the custom drop-in route I'd say you could request one be made to fit the VME.

i dont have the vme head yet but i bought this http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/sh...-2-1A-P60-Dropin-(Vinh)&p=4735820#post4735820
i tried it in a g2 and the dropin works i just want to put into a 1 cell format i have a fb1 and a nitecore extreme that will fit a vme head and i just want to make sure the dropin will work. i want a small edc blaster and this looks like fun

It's not a good match.
Even if you find a drop in that fits, You still will have a huge amount of light blocked inside the head. The malkoff dropins uses tir optic and reflectors smaller than the normal sized reflector for a p60. (27mm). And the opening in front is too small for a ~27mm reflector. So unless you got a malkoff module, dont bother. It will be like shining a light trough a keyhole. Lots of light lost, unless you use a lathe or dremel and open the front up more on the vmw head.
