SolarForce L2i body

I just got........ Solarforce Masterpiece Pro-1 Turbo Head King ~ Monster Thrower + Free L2i

and when I try to use 1 18650 battery it does not fit very good because the spring on pill and on the tail

anyone have any tips.. it works great with 2 cr123a and 3 AAA

Little intensive, but should work for that loooooong spring that comes on the MPP-1

Your battery is catching on the underside of the ridge that the big dropin spring sits on. Load the battery from the head, it will then clear this ridge. If you want to see what is happening, load the battey like normal from the tailcap. Replace tailcap and when it starts to get tight, stop. Now remove the head and you will see how the battery is jammed up.

I think I saw some were that sf said put on head befor putting battery not sure just asking ..

I had longer cells, Xtar´s, so I changed clicky and now it´s all good : http://www.shiningbeam.com/servlet/the-93/Forward-Tactical-Click-Switch/Detail

@ Langcjl.... thanks it works no switch mod.... this is great little light too...........

Another way to do it is to put the head on the empty tube just so the threads catch and hold. Load battery from tail and make sure it gets in the hole and is on the spring. Bounces when pushed. Then screw on tailcap all the way. Now the head can be tightened all the way.
