I contacted Simon at his Aliexpress store. He said he don’t post on BLF and CPF because it is very difficult for his internet to connect to these sites.
Could not find any “comments” or “notes” area’s. Pity.
Just message Simon directly on aliexpress. You can go to his store and use the contact seller function. If you already have a completed transaction, just give Simon the sales ID number.
During the ordering process there is a small text box below the item list you can use to leave a message to the merchant.
So I had mentioned in the other colors thread that I thought this was just bare copper but I was wrong. It does have a coating to protect the copper finish and prevent tarnishing. That led to a very long conversation between Simon and I about copper and my preference for the natural patina vs. others preference for a more “new” copper look. We don’t know if whatever coating they apply will be enough to break conductivity at the tail with a half turn for a mechanical lockout. I would not count on it being a thick enough coating to be relied on for blocking conductivity though. As for some of the questions asked…
That is very much dependent on your opinion but if I didn’t like the translucent color I think I’d probably go with black for dramatic contrast instead of something closer to copper color. I think orange or green would look awful but again that’s just my opinion
No, it’s fully cooked. 
I’m fairly certain this is pure 100% copper and not an alloy but I have to confirm.
Approximately very…very heavy. In other words, I don’t know but I asked Simon to provide the host weight and will post it here when I know.
As SKV89 said it is very difficult for Simon to view or post here due to the firewall in his country. :zipper_mouth_face: That is why I act as his officially unofficial representative here. 
Thanks a lot! :+1:
Isn’t all this quoting and thanking quite a lot? 
I don’t always have the time to respond properly but I do as much as I can and I love it. It’s part of what makes BLF such an awesome forum. Kind/helpful/thoughtful people. :+1:
You are absolutely right. Sorry for jamming the thread with all these quotes.
Black is good idea 
I’m just guessing but its probably a cooper alloy of C145 Tellurium. Easier to machine, longer tool life while machining, stronger, cheaper and close to the same properties as pure cooper. Just a guess though. :+1:
Really awesome looking! :LOVE:
I'm with vinte77, I would be interested in it as a host and stick an XHP50 emitter inside.
Is the pill made from brass or is it made of copper? 
Cheers :-)
18350 tube?
Pictures show it is brass.
That’s mine ordered. More than half sold already!
0K, quick question with regards to the above mentioned lighted tailcap. Related info for the version Simon uses here? Would it work with an H1-A driver?
Thanks and cheers ^:)
I imagine it will be a decent pocket anchor. It’s gonna be heavy. I have copper AA lights that weigh as much if not more so than a aluminum 18650 light. Copper 18650 S2+ I bet will tip the scales at at least 5 kilos.
Together with a copper pill from kiriba-ru, this should enable triple emitters to maintain high output for very longer periods.
Now there’s a thought!
Even with the stock brass pill, I expect this to do very nicely indeed with the 7135Ă—8 Biscotti driver I opted for
I got one a couple weeks ago… Just weighed it, 175 grams or so
It is pinker than I would think, so some alloy?
I ordered #2 last week…
I though SMO and OP would be nice
Sorry if this has been discussed in one of the multiple S2 modding thread, i can’t find a clear answer: is the A6 driver compatible with the S2+ and does the switch need replacement (the A6 driver needs a high amp forward clicky if i’m not mistaken)?
Essentially I’d like to turn this copper S2 into a copper A6…
