Hi guys,

I just received a Sipik 68 clone as a gift (purchased at a local store for about 13:money_mouth_face:. It was in a box labeled Ultrafire, with a gray 14500 Ultrafire 1200mAh (!) cell and a ” generic charger”:http://www.ebay.com/itm/EU-pin-plug-smart-Universal-Charger-For-1865016340CR123A14500-Liion-Battery-/221183771636 . However, the tailcap is absolute crap:

Another pic of the SK68:

Does any of the popular stores sell a decent replacement tailcap (Fasttech, DX etc.)?

Hi,

The pictures in your post don’t appear, at least for me.

I just got an SK68 clone in silver/gray from BestDeal777 on Amazon. Took about 2.5 weeks to get to the east coast U.S. though.

I fixed the pics.

Hi,

Ok, that works now. What didn’t you like about the tailcap? Was it because the rubber cap was smooth? I think they all look like that, at least on the 3 that I have.

Does the one you have have 3 modes?

Hi,

This is one of the ones I got from FastTech:

it’s silver/gray, and has 3 modes. The logo actually says “UINFIRE” like the page (thought it was a typo).

Its smooth and you have to really stick your finger in to push it.

Yes, its a 3 mode.

Yep, this one has a tailcap I would prefer. :slight_smile:

Hi,

Ahh. So you meant that the switch is recessed too much….

Here’re two that I have:

The bottom one is the “UINFIRE” one. The other one was from Amazon.

Here’s a shot of the “UINFIRE” one, angled so you can just barely see the rubber cap. Maybe you can check if the recessing is to your liking:

Jim, I like yours better :slight_smile:

I have another two on the way, so lets just see what I get.
