The new Jaxman E3 flashlight comes in the new year

UT01 needs button top correct? MTN has been out of stock on the button top Efest for a long time, so I was getting the Windyfire’s because they describe them as “outperforming the Efest”:

“This is one of the best ”high drain” 14500 cells available, outperforming even the venerable AW and Efest 14500 cells”
http://www.mtnelectronics.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_87&product_id=477

Windyfire lists the same discharge current as the Efest: (6.5A continuous / 9.75A pulse)

.
If you guys think the Efest is better I can get the it here:

Although it’s 700mAh instead of the 650mAh from MTN, I guess it’s the same? (Same discharge current as 650mAh: 6.5A / 9.75A)

I can’t find this new 17mm boost driver at MTN, can you post the link please?

Richard hasn’t released his boost driver yet, close though, it’s done well in testing so he’ll be listing it soon. :slight_smile:

I go the TK05 in the mail today, on a Windyfire fresh off the charger (first avialable 14500 I saw) it makes 579.6 at start and 508.9 at 30 seconds. The beam profile is ugly with the XP-G3 though. Jaxman’s choice of emitters make for a much better overall light without the need to modify it. :wink:

Jaxman please put a link to the E3 in the OP for our convenience. Thanks.

I have to keep searching through posts to find the link MascaratumB posted.

Thanks for the update on the 17mm boost driver.

I don’t have one to try, does UT01 work on a flat top?
EDIT: found this answer (post #25): Discussion : - Utorch UT01 - #25 by Jerommel

Jaxman has good tints but tend to use XPG’s instead of XPL’s, and they don’t like to drive their small lights too hard. So they end up wanting power modded. I think the E3 would be a much better overall light if it had it’s current output levels, plus an added high/turbo level of 500-700lm

Does the Jaxman E3 work with flat-top 14500s?

I have PKCell 14500 (which are flat-tops), and they work intermittently on my couple of UT01 (more often than not, the flat-top 14500 does not work, or if it worked, slight shaking the flashlight will turn it off and not work).

I don’t know I didn’t get one yet, but this makes photo makes me think maybe not?

Thanks, looking at the + post on the driver I had a feeling flat tops could be in issue,
I’ll stick with button tops then.

hi friends all,

so many threads in so few days…I cant read and reply smoothly, it will need too much time to read every threads carefully……

the middle modes is powered by PWM which works at 500 Hz, and it will not be seen by your eyes. but maybe seen by a camera, and I think the middle mode will be seldom used in most time, so I choose PWM for a convenience. The low and high is not PWM.

hi, the design of anti-reversing of battery forbids full flat batteries to work.
So flat 14500 batteries can not be use in this flashlight. You can use 14500 with a little higher cap like AA batteries, and I have this kind of 14500.

if dears cant get the battery,I can give you as a gift——need you leave a word in your order—-only few pcs this battery.

while,if you use 14500,the E3 will lost low and middle modes, it will be only one mode—high mode.

I am worry about if you can know what I am saying…

best regards

The english is not perfect but we understand it fine :slight_smile:

I understand completely what you said jaxman :wink:
I will get one of these flashlights :wink: Thanks for your work!

Oh, and please consider to sell the flashlight host, because we like to make mods here :stuck_out_tongue:

I want learn a good English ability from all of you.
I found it is hard to get the truth ability of foreign languages if you are not live in the place of that language.

Ok, since all of us are the man who love DIY, I fully understand what dear all are thinking.
Host is not a problem. but need some time, now we are too busy to making business. Later, we will make a link for the host.

That sounds very nice, thanks for making it possible!

Well done Jaxman! Well done! :smiley:

+1 jaxman :wink: Thank you very much!!

:neutral_face:

Thanks! I’ll likely order one and leave a message to request for button-top 14500… Hope shipping flashlight+battery to my country won’t be a problem (unlike shipping of pure batteries)…

Single mode (high only) on a 14500, I take it you’re planning on modding with a different driver?

Anyone else think 22.5mm is kind of thick for an AA/14500 light?

I’d like to know where that measurement is taken, head, tail, or thickest part (anti-roll hex)

I have to wonder will it be much different in size from an E2 or S2+ w/18350
