Just got my e07 in, of course broken optic leg and screw in the wrong hole. Damn that pisses me off. And i got the clear ano and the body is way brighter than the head. They most definitely have some qc issues going on. My emisar was perfect when it arrived. Better catch up ff or you aint gonna last.
Yea, you can see that in the pictures. I think the head is stainless and the body
aluminum so they are going to look different. I wonder if the oils from your skin will change the aluminum over time like it does copper. Hate to hear more quality issues, I ordered 2……
Mostly the same here - bright tube dull head and tail cap - screw in the wrong hole broken optic leg - also got a grey one - screw in the wrong hole and broken optic leg and the tubes are too short to use Samsung 21700’s without copper washer in the tailcap
Just got my yellow E07. Haven’t tried opening it up yet, but I can see from looking in the front that one leg is broken off.
On the upside, the light seems to work fine and is incredibly bright. It works fine with the Samsung 40T that I got with the light or with a VTC6 using the 18650 spacer. Anodizing looks well done with no issues.
Dull tail cap too? The tail cap images on page 1 of this thread look the same as the body. That sucks, plus more quality control problems? 
Can someone with the clear post a “real picture”. All I find is hand model images holding displays.
The bezel is stainless for sure. But im saying the actual aluminum head doesn’t have the bright luster that the body and cap have.
My cap and body are very bright. That clear ano is too much for ff to handle as far as consistency goes. And my 30T and 40T fit all the way without crushing the battery cap. But it couldn’t be any shorter to work so that battery is very snug. Makes the light feel like its 1 piece billet.
What copper washer did you use? Just a standard M14x20x1.5mm?
Also the switch sucks ass. Its way to squishy and totally flat.
When I take a picture of the light the tail cap does not look as dull - that is probably why the picture on page one does not show the difference - but in your hand it is obvious.
Oh, I see what your talking about. So it’s 3 shades of grey, I mean silver 
Youtube the E07 and Martin from
M4xM4d has a video about the spacer. He uses a solid copper electrical wire. Juat look that video up.
20x24x1.5mm
Martin’s solid wire fix works fine but the wire I have on hand is too thick and exposes the oring completely so I used the copper washers I had already for the PL47
Yep pretty much. Lol. Oh well they are not called premium budget lights for nothing. Ha
If your battery got crushed it’s likely because it HAS to be shipped IN the light which is not a good way to guarantee a battery will not be crushed. If you have something NON conductive you can probably pry it back up a little but the battery should be safe to use if it makes contact. Now you know, stick with your separate purchase for future batteries.

…… What am I looking for? In mine I see (4) holes besides the 7 emitters. 2 at each end and all about the same depth. Does that mean I got a good one?
I’d like to thank those that shared the info about their lights.
I’ve been contemplating an E07 of my own, but I’m afraid I’d have to wait until they get the kinks out (battery tube length, proper screw placement and unmolested optic) before I’ll consider it again.
I know that these first runs can be a little risky, but dang, some of this seems very sloppy.
There are 4 holes. One for each leg. If you look into those holes all 4 should look identical with a white dot at the bottom.
In my light, I can tell one leg is broken off because the 4 holes do not look identical. 3 of them look the same, but the 4th looks noticeably different.
I’m currently reviewing the XPL 6500k, I’m getting 8300 lumens at turn on, dropping sharply to under half that by 15 seconds. It only gets hot though if you bash another 15 seconds within 10 minutes.
It’s my new favourite light.
One last complaint. I was feeling the threads on the tailcap end and it sliced my finger open. Wow. Be careful people them threads are sharp. First time ive ever been cut open by a flashlight.
