Nice review. It makes me even more await the one I’ve ordered >4 weeks ago… The tracking still says “in transit” and it is not found yet in the German postal service.
I’ve should have bought the clip too…
Many thanks for the review, Chicken Drumstick. I was looking for a relatively inexpensive and compact 18650 EDC, and this one seems ideal. I’ve just ordered the 1.4A / 3B version, along with the clips.
Cheers!
Sorry, no pics. It's the std small white Omten mounted on a round PCB. The brass retainer ring is reverse mounted - lots of fun to figure that one out... Everything is std accept the SS button parts themselves. the center button has a weird rubber boot on it, but it sure works well...
I got an S2+ last week and it has been amazing, I ordered another one the next day. It may not be the smallest, but is just about perfect for what I need. I can’t imagine anyone being disapointed in it. The spill is great and throws better than expected.
The tailcap housing is physically different btw for the red S2+. The last pic above shows it - that red ridge around the SS - it protrudes up -- that's not on a standard S2+ tailcap. So, I'm thinking it would not be possible (or the same) to get a SS button conversion kit for a conventional S2+ w/rubber boot.
Make sure you use some loctite on the little screws on the pocket clip…they will loosen and the darn thing will fall off at the most inopportune time (ask me how I know )
Man, those switches look GORGEOUS!!! I soooo wish Simon would find a supplier and sell them as an addon (aka completely separate from the Convoy deal) I need about 8 of em
Only problem I see…they are smaller than the entire rubber boot and wouldn’t fit
Simon…have your engineer gurus come up with a viable rubber boot to stainless switch “upgrade” and you will sell tens of thousands of em (especially if the ring on the bottom had a tightening groove cut in em (like the groves on some of the SK68/98 pills) so they could be removable/replaceable
I guess we can refer to them here as the S2+ ADV (for advanced tailcap)
No flash used for any pictures in this review. Zeusray used on the indoor shots at it gets dark before I get home from work. Clip pics taken today in daylight.
