What happens to the “scrapped” hosts? Is it offered in the clearance section?
I really like the current S2+, and now I realize how much more effort Simon takes to put the knurling than any other manufacturer. I haven’t see anything so fine on any other flashlight.
I like the old knurling but if the new knurling means he can still keep his prices at current level and his doors open at the same time, I could live with that.
I like my 18650 collection. Would I need to upgrade to 26650 batteries, or could I use my good 18650 with a “26650 PVC Heat Shrink Wraps ” or PVC tube or something like that?
I am ordering an S2+ with tradition knurling because none of the new ones have the same appeal. Edit:I still want a C8+ “T” with 21700 battery and ramping UI.
These star spacers are what Simon sends with his L2 or L6. They work for 18650 and 21700 shown in a single cell L2 tube for scale. After pouring over HKJ battery reviews even many 18650 batteries are better than the 26650 batteries in many respects. If you ask Simon, he will probably sell you a few. Reading this thread only strengthens my view that he is one of the best sellers out there.
I have a Convoy X3 on my desk at the moment. Comparing it with an S2+, the X3’s knurling is much grippier and still looks good. I vote for X3-style knurling on future lights.
The S2+ with Biscotti and 4000K 95CRI SST20 LED is really nice, by the way. It’s my belt EDC now
