I have full access to the UI of driver VN2. I run my ToolVN on 1% 30% 100% No memory. At 850 lumens turn on i cannot suffice with only 1 mode. I just had to reprogram the driver after installing the switch. I had a hard time reaching the programming mode and almost thought it wasnāt going to work. Then after 30min I finally got it to the mode group I wanted.
The TI tail spring seems to be of higher quality material and probably gives a slight bump in output when using direct drive current.
Lumintop was nice enough to let me buy the TI tail cap by its self.
awesome!
I was wondering if they would be kind enough to sell me a copper ETail
it does take the ETail about 30 minutes to charge up the capacitor in the switch that enables the modes above medium, glad its working for youā¦
you are the first person I know to have tested the ESwitch with LiIon for ongoing useā¦ great to hear your driver works multi mode with the Eswitch, the stock driver does not, so one more plus for the VN driverā¦ nice kit
@DIPSTIX Awesome flashlight, I would like to have a Tool VN too but its a little bit expensive
Here is my favorite Tool, a copper with a E-Switch and a Nichia LED andā¦ā¦ā¦it is low-med-high :+1:
Love it and I really like the custom titan button!
I`ve just ordered me a copper with the e-switch from Massdrop, I am very curious how the 219c is doing
And hello Jon, long time no see! I had some health problems in the last months but now everything is fine again.
the Preon clip is a very cool looking addition .BUT the ebay seller thinks 9$ to ship a clip makes sense .
I just paid 14$ for another reg. copper tool (using points at gearbust)ā¦$14 for the clip is just wrong
I did the switch replacmemt myself by emailing lumintop and asking to purchase a tool TI tail cap.
Successfully made the swap on my Toolvn Cu. The tailcap is handing the current perfectly. I have been using this light for over a year now.
I have three Massdrop e-switch versions and want to do the opposite. If Lumintop sells me the switch, is it easy to convert it to a clicky? I realize I'll probably have to mar the beautiful brass and titanium with a black rubber switch, if its possible at all. I don't want the parasitic drain.
That being said, if it can be done, I'll three e-switches to sell if anyone wants them, or donate if you're handy and can help me. :)
I own a Copper Lumintop Tool with clicky switch, and also a Copper Massdrop tool with ESwitch
they are a direct swap, unscrew one, screw on the otherā¦
but since you have brass massdrop, and there is no Lumintop Brass Tool Clicky, and since you have Ti Tool, and there is no Ti Tool clickyā¦ Your metals would not color match if you buy a Copper Lumintop Tool with clicky switch.
the cheapest way I can think of to get a clicky switch is to buy a black aluminum Lumintop tool.
Im not sure how to answer your question about putting a black button on an Eswitch, since it would still be an Eswitch if you only change the buttonā¦ What I think you need is the whole Clicky tailcapā¦
fwiw, your Brass Tool Head will also work on a Maratac, as a twisty only
the Ti Tool Head does not lego with anything, it is different than the other heads
hope that helps you evaluate your optionsā¦ I have no modding skills, I just buy and lego
suggestion, since your goal is to stop parasitic drain on the E switch, the easiest way to do that is to just unscrew the head of your brass and Ti Massdrops, slightly. I just tested my copper Massdrop w E switch and yes, unscrewing the head slightly while the switch is ON, does turn the light off. It also works as a twisty.
