according to statement by lumintop the short tubes won’t be available until further notice with other colors or materials than the standard gray fw3a unfortunately:
“We regret to tell at present, we have no plan for the blue/sand/raw/green/purple and titanium/copper short tubes yet. Because the total volum is not as much as the color grey version, so if we made the colors short tubes, the quantity will be less, thus the cost will be high.”
too bad
Hi. Today I received my FW3A SST20. In the package there is warning to not dissamble the tailcap, but when I tried to unscrew it, it was very tight and I could not to remove it. Do you have idea if in the last batches of FW3A the tailcap is maybe glued?
Yes I know that. I wanted to just measure standby current and maximum power consumption with my battery so I needed to uncrew the tailcap. It was just very tight.
Could you take a photo of the body and the inner tube? I just bought mine and I can’t seem to make mine work. Not 100% sure if mine is a first batch FW3A but mine doesn’t have the retaining ring on the tailcap. Looking at the 18650 and 18350 inner tubes, the 18350 protrudes more.
Tried to use the inner tube both ways and I can’t fully screw down the tail or the head where the thicker rim(bottom part on the 18350 tube in the image) is positioned at. I don’t know if it’s an incompatible inner tube or I’m doing something wrong.
Yes, my oring is under the lip on the smaller tube. I also tightened the tail cap first and it didn’t seem to do anything. Tightening it down just brings it to this.
Sorry I’m not sure what you mean by
Could you elaborate?
I tried to remove the oring from the lip under the inner tube and I can tighten it down further, I get a blink so i guess there is power but clicking the switch still does nothing.
Oh okay, so there is no beep to confirm the continuity when I click the switch. I tried to tighten it down more but I think it’s tightened well enough. Any suggestions to fix this?..
