“Hi James, I have made several C8 pills, but they are very difficult job for lathering so their COGS is higher.
Top surface of pill is ideally polished, I have decided that screwing mcpcb through thermal grease is not good decision (making holes with thread could up the price twicely.)
Also they have no holes for wires because russian custom makers from fonarevka use their own direct-thermal pcbs with non-standart holes.
In spite of writed upper, COGS of this pills is much higher than I could thought.”
There is only 5 available at the moment and I’m claiming 2
So far The price is looking to be roughly £17-20 each shipped
Just a warning for all guys that think “I can drill 2 holes, how hard can it be!” Copper is very dense material and it’s huge pain to drill or cut, if you don’t have drill bits for hard materials and only have hand drill, no drill press, prepare for a nightmare.
P.S. “Top surface of pill is ideally polished”… I guess they didn’t hear about mirror finish over there J)
I would like to build MT-G2 C8 (2 x 18350) flashlight but with so expensive work, I will have to settle with Noctigon MCPCB…
Officially there is no more Convoy C8 that uses pill design. Best way to get the one with the pill is to look for gray version from retailer right now because, as the stock runs out they will be replaced with new model…
The grey version? If anyone needs a C8 with removable pill I have 2 spare hosts that I can ship with copper pill they are not been made anymore but these pills are for the guys who already have the host, there is only 5 made
