I saw on another forum where Marshall at GoingGear said they were PVD coated. I donāt know exactly how that works, but some googling around informed me that normally PVD coating copper requires that it be chrome plated first, then PVD coated using a copper colored dye. Thatās kind of cheating, if you ask me, so I wouldnāt be very I interested in that either.
Good thing Iām a big fan of raw copper, patina and all.
I just got a Ti S1 today, they say the cell is an CR123 or RCR123, is that the same thing as a 16340? Quite small, for sure. Very neat little light, the Ti version has what appears to be a gold PVD bezel, looks very nice, even the packaging is pretty elitist.
Iāve also got a Ti S1, very nice lights. They call those bezels ārose gold pvdā so its probably the same treatment as the whole body of that copper/stainless S1 above. Definitely looks more like just plain gold than rose gold or copper though.
Yes the RCR123 and 16340 are interchangeable. I think they may technically be difference chemistries, but electrically theyāre identical.
Thanks, I donāt have any CR123 lights but I do have ONE 16340, the little SS bullet light from CNQG. Maybe I can bore this little guy out and fit an 26700 in thereā¦
Edit: Oh Yeah! Big thing here people, they got the battery in BACKWARDS! The positive end goes to the tail cap, thatās gonna mess me up for sure!
Well Iām sure youāll do something awesome with it
Yeah Iām not sure whatās up with the battery orientation in recent Olights but they seem to be moving in that direction. I got an S2 last week thatās also oriented backwards. Idkā¦
I am loving the unrefined industrial look of this little light! Any negatives so far? Also, I have never had a magnetic light in the past, has anyone had any issues with the magnet in their pocket? Credit cards and what not.
Any info or insight is always appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Thanks for comments and, no I am not crazy and, also u got me there Martinā¦ :cowboy_hat_face:
