Hey! no silicon switch cap??? Now I have to use up one of my 50 spare ones ;-)
Seems like you would have a lot of interest in a copper or even AL heat sink
What about the screws and tapped holes, included?
OK ..Now i want a 18350 version of it ...and a triple nichia .
i could may be do a run of each ? copper and aluminum, If im doing triples or quad builds i like copper better
I confirmed that host DOES come with tapped holes and screws. 
thx krono.
While itās not in the other pictures or the component list, the final picture shows a switch boot. Can you confirm that a switch boot is included? Thanks for posting this kronological!
Iām quite sure that it isā¦look at the pics on BGās website, shows it in back of tailcap.
Ok, I got the host kit in and I am VERY unhappy. This is how it was packaged:
Everything tossed loose in a bag, the whole thing was rattling inside the package wen I picked it up from the postman. Just watch the reflector directly in contact with the clip and you know what I mean :Angry:
This was the content of the package. NO LENS IS INCLUDED AT ALL!!! And note just one little screw, why would that be?
Ah, one screw is because there's just one screwhole (???????????) And look at that reflector! The X6 has one of the best reflectors I have ever seen, unless of course if it is scratched like this :Angry:
Banggood, I know that this was not an expensive host, but you ruined it before shipping: get your packaging sorted!!!!!
Soooo, now on to getting the replacement done, contact BG, get them to understand my problem, try again, and again, reject their proposed solution because it is way insufficient, etc., etc., etc., :Tired:
Wowā¦that really sucks djozz! Iām really sorry to hear that. I guess Iām not buying I host. I hope you work it out with them. What a pain in the butt.
This just sucks, i hadnāt ordered yet but i plan to, i really hope that it will be sorted out by then because this bad packaging + no lens and why only one holeā¦ā¦it is just messed up 
Should had done another GB ? Maybe they would of shipped it in a box ;) sorry to hear this maybe they will change how they ship them
This is really bad newsā¦ā¦.i guess if the hosts canāt be relied upon. it is the EE x6 that is the next best thing, but on that the shelf is a different hight than the blf x6 so thats an complication for the possible blf x6 triple spacerā¦ā¦ā¦.
That really sucks, Why would they ship the host like that? I already bought that host last week, hope i will receive it not like that.
Before i buy the host i already noticed in the picture on the product page that there is only one screw, now you confirmed it that there is really one screw and one screw hole.
The title of this post says āEagle Eye X6 host kit w/AR lens, tapped holes and screws.ā kronological specifically asked Neal about both of those issues, since we had brought them up here for him. Ironic that there is NO LENS and only one tapped hole and one screw! And what in the world were they thinking putting all the loose parts in a baggie together? Well, if ever I had any faint amount of interest in this host, it has all evaporated now! Iām glad my BLF X6ās came in decent condition.
That is piss poor. I will link this thread to my skype chat with Neal tonight.
Obviously I canāt do this for everyone, but djozz if youād like I can send you a replacement that is in pristine condition and guaranteed to have no metal contact en route to your destination.
I have 2 that have been removed for builds, and will soon have the 3 host kits I ordered that I will also not be using the reflector in. (no idea what condition theyāll arrive in)
this is disgusting news. So by āhostā they mean āleftover parts from the rejects binā??
Djozz ā what date did you place your order?
What date was it shipped?
That would help bracket the date when someone threw the stuff in the bag?
Iād like to compare my order, in hopes the drunk skunk had been fired by the time mine got packed to ship ā¦
For the record, mine was:
Order Placed Date:2014-12-15 08:37:12
Shipped Date:2014-12-17 07:55:43
so Iām waiting ā nervously ā for my two hosts to show up.
Supposed to have the lens and everything needed except the driver and emitter/star.
BLF Special Edition X6 Flashlight Host
They show the boot installed in the tail cap, the lens leaning against the head, all the o-rings, switch (needing assembly) everything.
