Not that the convoy holster isnât nice but the GT mini deserves itâs own holster.
I think that most lights should come with a specific made holster or at least have a option to have a holster included.
Many lights that you can buy from the big brands have holsters included specially designed and made for that light.
I know it will push the price up but for a nice quality holster itâs well worth it I think.
18350 cells are already way down on power. A protected version doesnât make sense to use in my opinion. I think the Aspire is the best, but I donât know if itâs made with protection circuitry.
Thanks. New to 18350's and know nothing about them. Too bad they are low on power. Really liked the idea of the short tube, but doesn't sound likes it's very practical at all.
Sorry, the Aspires are discontinued. They could do 10A, but are only 1100mA in capacity. I think the Vapcell 18350 is pretty similar, though.
Nitecore, Efest and KeepPower all sale protected 18350. Due to their small size (900 mah to 1100mah) and protection circuitry (tends to reduce voltage a couple of 10ths of a volt) they may go right past the buck section of the driver on turbo. It might not be able to maintain 4.5A. If it can, it wonât be for very long.
I think the short tube is basically just a novelty to make it match the GT with short tube. Itâs cute. For a couple bucks more, I will be buying it.
Itâs because none of the major battery manufacturers make the 18350 size. The reason we get such high capacities and energy density from 18650 and 21700, but not from 26650, 26350, 18350, 18500, 16340, 14500, etc⌠is because Sony, LG, Panasonic/Sanyo and Samsung use their very refined, proprietary battery chemistries on just those 2 sizes.
All of the other ânon mainstreamâ sizes are made by smaller battery companies whoâs chemical mixes are not quite as good.
