Sounds like a regression to the mean, cncyana, with a couple extra large cup-holders thrown in.
There are a fair number of options for single emitter hosts. True, most of those aren’t for 21700 hosts, but at this point, there are more single emitter 21700 hosts than there are three emitter 21700. Besides, what set the C8F apart in the first place was that it was a triple.
Quite frankly, the head could be pretty much left intact except to bore it out where the battery-tube screws into it.
Then, just make the tube ever so slightly wider to fit a 20 or 21, and widen and bore out the tailcap to match. Done. It’ll now take a 20 or 21 instead of an 18.
Hi all!
I got a message today from Sofirn. 21700 chosen. That is confirmed. And the driver size will be bigger to make modding easier. They want dual switch but it is not decided yet. Maybe it will be dual switch or switched tailcap can be bought separately. They told me there will be some changes in UI but I don’t know exactly the changes yet.
Since I already have 20700A cells, I’m still undecided whether I should just buy 21700s, or just use it with 20700As. I do not like buying excessive amounts of cells if I already have a bunch of almost new ones.
These are based on the Samsung 40T 30A rated cells.
Apparently, they are legit and ship to Canada, but I think I’m just going to stick with using my Sanyo NCR20700A cells, and not buy any 21700s, for now anyway.
14A is a lot of current after all, and other parts of the light are going to offer higher resistance if the springs are bypassed with thick 18AWG wire.
