Low-cost copper pills, spacers, optics, drop-ins (Updated 23/10/2022))

I would to use a 25mm khatod since I have a couple of those, so a glass on top will be needed.

So, M1 spacer will fit Khatod quad optics. Similar to X5 spacer, it will consist from 2 parts, but now upper ring from SS will have place for o-ring (this means that glass will be sealed from both sides). If someone will find GITD o-ring with necessary size (29-31mm OD, 1.5/2.0-1.5mm thickness), it should looks great.

Sounds like you’re going for it Kirill.
I’ve always thought the M1 was one of the best designed hosts out there, but that 30mm lens really didn’t leave a lot of options for modding.

If I had to design this combinations for myself, I would prefer single 26.5mm M2 and 30mm M1. I don`t believe in this fins at all. I promise nothing, but if many things will meet, I will show you how do fins should look like. I prefer combinations that have so power that you can keep it in hand until battery is empty. S2-S8 can carry 5-6W, C8 7-8W. I have A6 with custom mid-head (see avatar) and single XP-L HI in direct drive makes this piece of copper so hot that you can fry mosquitos after 3-4 enters into turbo mode. This is less that two minutes, what`s next? I need flashlight for 15 minutes or more, and I don`t understand people that want quad XP-L in this size.

My previous message also means that those who want to use Khatod quad optics can make it in M1 (only). And those who want to build M1 quad will be able to buy kit for Khatod optics (only). Other quad conv. kits will be comparable with Carclo only (in Carclo I trust).

M1 conv. kit upper part is little bigger and more difficult, while 29x2 GITD o-ring much more expensive that I expected. I suppose I will be able to suggest them for $12-13.

Received my copper pills. Fit perfectly in my S2+. Thank you :slight_smile:

Any headway on the p60 dropins?

I think they will be ready till end of the next week.

Great, thanks for the update.

I don’t know him but maybe he is in vacation.

If here lots of those that are going to use p60 drop-in with triple? Is it necessary to make additional part (‘liner’) with place for gitd o-ring?

Come today,thanks

Regards Xandre

I would like the option of the triple p60.

Still have not found suitable GITD o-ring for triple. Anybody knows source where I can find various sizes?
Upd:
24*1.5mm from dx seems the only available variant.
By the way, what do you think about this liner material? X5 and M1 liners will be made from SS, while triple quad liner can be made from SS or aluminium.
Waiting you replies, especially from those who has built X5 with my spacer.

Finally had the time to put together the quad. and man its nice.

the spacer fit flawlessly and i couldn’t be happier.

What are the benefits of an aluminum liner vs. a ss liner? The ss liner for the X5 fit/worked great.

I’ve tried the x5 spacer with and without the liner and it works fine… I think the aluminum liner would work as well.

Without liner nothing holds o-ring, so there is no waterproof.
I`m sure that aluminium one can work, I`m worry about transportation damages of upper rim, when I had made crimp driver version pills some users have receiced them with damaged rim.

Oh, I see but if you out the o-ring on top of the lens instead of between the carclo optics and the lens then wouldn’t it still provide an adequate seal?

Once I have damaged glass this way.
I just screw? (past simple) bezel until glass contact tir lens and then tightened little more (o-ring should be under some pressure). It looks great but several days after I took this host and glass was damaged (without any usage). Also I have heard that some guy damaged tir legs with same reason. So it is better when glass and tir dont have lots if internal forces.

For GITD o-ring take a look here :
