No answers? I am planning to build another one of these. Got the first one right, but after a lot of adjusting. A tighter centering ring would help a lot.
$12.77 on eBay, at least for the next 27 minutes:

(Back to $20 now…)
Much appreciated. Got one to cut my teeth with modding.
Centering gasket? 
Yes I really tried with it… Ordered from Simon to… But no matter what I tried it did not looked nice to my eyes.
The best you can do for yourself is that you don’t use it at all… This is product of eyeballing:
A bit uneven spill from side to side is product of drilling reflector base with accu drill but the most important thing is perfect hotspot with 300+ kcd
Looks kind a warm towards green? Yeah baby! Because it is good old XP-G2 S4 2B inside :+1:
This is probably only reflector light beside Jacob A60 that I actually like.
Long live the Mitko!
Is there a copper pill that fits into this light?
Not that I know of. I have one unmodded at home, I can have a look at it.
If took the top rim of mine and added a large mcpcb, but the wires shorted.
So i want a copper or aluminium pill and use a smaller mcpcb with the wires more pretected.
Was measuring the throw on my D1s today (120kcd). I also tried my souponfire light (dedomed xml2-u4, Blf a6 driver, 24agw wires) and got 205kcd. Maybe could have got higher numbers with thicker wires, but I am still amazed by the potential of this budget light.
Hello,
could you advice, is better to use Manker 28mm MCPCB for a tight fit instead of Maxtoch 26mm MCPCB?
I’d go for the maxtoch.
Anyone know if these are still available anywhere? Looks like they are here:
But it doesn’t look easy to order. Guess I should I have ordered back when they were cheap and available. 
I think there is no better reflector thrower than this Mitko super thrower, but only modded versions so if you are not up to the task don’t order them… And especially under 15$… For maxtoch fans this modded light will easily out throw your super duper factory maxtoches with 2x18650 cells when properly modded… That does not mean it is better light of course. We could also mod Maxtoches 
Sorry to bring up this thread again, but did any of these replacement pills work with this light? I can’t decide whether to put in a 2mm white flat or sliced XHP50.2, then I thought if I could have multiple pills that would be great.
Don’t know about the T20 pill (could check) but the problem is not solved by it: for the reflector to focus a flat led well, it has to be completely flat on the MCPCB, and the reflector base is really wide. A 32mm MCPCB solves this (barely, it still needs bevelling of the reflector base to clear the solder blobs if I remember well) but then the top of the pill must be flat.
My strategy for working with this reflector has been to use copper tape to make very low profile contact extensions then cover with a thin translucent insulation gasket I got from Mtnelectronics. The reflector sits directly on the thin gasket. This has worked to get good enough focus for sliced XHP70.2 and dedomed XPL. But for the 2mm WF I’m currently trying to get to work I will need to remove a bit of reflector material to get it to sit a bit lower. A larger MCPCB would of course help but I’m working with what I have for now.
94.7 feedback? I don't know...
I follow my greedbay strategy: only buy from sellers > 99%.
Guys beside this Mitko’s thrower flashlight there is one real crazy, budget friendly, modding friendly light uniquefire HS 802 with this reflector:
So if we compare 2 of them one has wide reflector and other one has deep one. Throw same if not better on HS 802.
Throw only slightly depends on how deep the reflector is and almost entirely depends on the front diameter of the reflector. So the HS 802 will have no better throw than a C8.
But it sure is an interesting light, it will have a wider hotspot and narrower spill than a C8.
Yes it almost have no spill(good for hunters)only pure intense hotspot… While sidespill may certainly mess with our night vision; pupil of the eye narrows and we see less. The brighter the enviroment is, the narrower is the pupil of the eye, so there’s a reduction in light that hits the fundus. Hotspot type of a beam like aspheric or HS802 makes that we perceive throw further in the night. There is better contrast between illuminated area and dark area. The enhanced contrast lets us to perceive throw brighter, further and cleaner on target eliminating those reflective issues (especially reflection from barrel once when we have mounted light).
But different animal than C8… HS 802 imho throws better than C8, and has better pill and more modding friendly than Supwildfire.
So still available budget super thrower reflector flashlight hosts:
Supwildfire (Mitkos thrower)
HS802 Uniquefire
C8 global standard
I would of course change them all for quality aspheric light.
