I will be using Liitokala 26650”S with it
5200mah & 15-20A constant drain.
I also have Keeppower, Basen & Thorfire 26650”s & the Liitokala”s are the best IMO
This is the thread on them LiitoKala 26650-50A 5000mah 26650 - great first impressions
I guess it is like “judging a book by it’s cover”…… but I totally agree Glenn.
I have a S70…… but to me it still looks like crap. …… Especially when compared to the L6.
EDIT: i just read down to the $37 part… at that price I’ll just have to live with v2 still looking like crap to me. Too good a deal to pass up based on looks alone. Cause no doubt they are a proven performer!! :+1:
I have a thorfire s70, of the old ones, just add r100 on resistance just like convoy L6 and get 7amp on the tail, it does not need to desolder, just remove the ring, the biggest difference in favor of convoy is choice of dyes and better Quality of construction and components in general, thorfire is not bad, but L6 is better, regards!
Please stop fanboyism
I am gladly going into debate about which is better yet not in a topic specifically about either one of them
My S70 and L6 both run on Liitokala cells
I checked the anodization inside both tubes and both do not conduct
I use a magnet in between the cells
When it is time to recharge I take the cells out, stick the little magnets to the other cell and thus every charging the cells swap position.
Hi The Miller, I used to use magnets on cells that wouldn”t make contact in series with no problems but noticed after taking some tail cap readings that with magnets I was seeing the best part of .5A less current than the same cells without magnets (solder blob, Jaxman cell connector or bend the positive slightly upwards).
This was with Liitokala 26650”s in my S70.
Now I don”t know if the magnets I was using (N52”s I think) were just particularly poor at conducting & adding a lot of resistance & other magnets are fine but that is what I found anyway.
I have stopped using magnets because of this.
It would be interesting if you took a tail cap reading with fully charged cells with a magnet then either solder blobbed them, used a connector or bent the positive & took another reading
Ofc X70 is better than L6, yet Thorfire support sux great time- i asked them many time for spare drivers( not free ofc) , hosts, other spares and various other stuff and they NEVER responded me- that makes the user sad…
I have to admit, in my memory the S70(S) looked better than it actually does…
And frankly i think the L6 in matte black looks pretty good actually.
But for 37 bucks i couldn’t resist buying an S70S.
Can you recommend some good 26650? Some posts said to use protected as this light has the batteries in series. I already placed an order for 2x26650 thorfire batteries on Amazon but the seller seems fake as they are being sold for $5.
