Richard hasn’t released his boost driver yet, close though, it’s done well in testing so he’ll be listing it soon.
I go the TK05 in the mail today, on a Windyfire fresh off the charger (first avialable 14500 I saw) it makes 579.6 at start and 508.9 at 30 seconds. The beam profile is ugly with the XP-G3 though. Jaxman’s choice of emitters make for a much better overall light without the need to modify it.
Jaxman has good tints but tend to use XPG’s instead of XPL’s, and they don’t like to drive their small lights too hard. So they end up wanting power modded. I think the E3 would be a much better overall light if it had it’s current output levels, plus an added high/turbo level of 500-700lm

Does the Jaxman E3 work with flat-top 14500s?
I have PKCell 14500 (which are flat-tops), and they work intermittently on my couple of UT01 (more often than not, the flat-top 14500 does not work, or if it worked, slight shaking the flashlight will turn it off and not work).
I don’t know I didn’t get one yet, but this makes photo makes me think maybe not?

Thanks, looking at the + post on the driver I had a feeling flat tops could be in issue,
I’ll stick with button tops then.
so many threads in so few days…I cant read and reply smoothly, it will need too much time to read every threads carefully…..
the middle modes is powered by PWM which works at 500 Hz, and it will not be seen by your eyes. but maybe seen by a camera, and I think the middle mode will be seldom used in most time, so I choose PWM for a convenience. The low and high is not PWM.
hi, the design of anti-reversing of battery forbids full flat batteries to work.
So flat 14500 batteries can not be use in this flashlight. You can use 14500 with a little higher cap like AA batteries, and I have this kind of 14500.
if dears cant get the battery,I can give you as a gift——need you leave a word in your order—-only few pcs this battery.
while,if you use 14500,the E3 will lost low and middle modes, it will be only one mode—high mode.
I am worry about if you can know what I am saying…
I want learn a good English ability from all of you.
I found it is hard to get the truth ability of foreign languages if you are not live in the place of that language.
Ok, since all of us are the man who love DIY, I fully understand what dear all are thinking.
Host is not a problem. but need some time, now we are too busy to making business. Later, we will make a link for the host.

Thanks! I’ll likely order one and leave a message to request for button-top 14500.. Hope shipping flashlight+battery to my country won’t be a problem (unlike shipping of pure batteries)..

Single mode (high only) on a 14500, I take it you’re planning on modding with a different driver?
Anyone else think 22.5mm is kind of thick for an AA/14500 light?
I’d like to know where that measurement is taken, head, tail, or thickest part (anti-roll hex)
I have to wonder will it be much different in size from an E2 or S2+ w/18350
It looks like the E3 is not as lean as the Tool AA but still ok, and it is pretty short.
With the Tool AA, and with my 4sevens mini AA I have the feeling that if I drop it they could deform and the threading gets stuck, the E3 can be overrun by a truck.

Yes I see that, looking at this photo I’d say maybe even overrun by a tank!

This is what impresses me about Jaxman products. The quality is fantastic. They reveal the internals as well. This is something most manufacturers do not reveal.
Jaxman please put a link to the E3 in the OP for our convenience. Thanks.
I have to keep searching through posts to find the link MascaratumB posted.
Thanks for the update on the 17mm boost driver.

I don’t have one to try, does UT01 work on a flat top?

Jaxman, can you confirm it?
It does look small in this photo.
.
Could probably even drill that tube out for 16mm:
………………….Max Discharge Current: 18A…………………….
measured lumens with NIMH?
I want to use 14500 and have all modes, plus some increased output (Nichia 219c)
So I was thinking to swap in one of this driver:
Qlite 7135*8 w/guppydrv or NLITE
or
Convoy 7135*8 w/Biscotti
Anyone have an estimate of max lumen output for nichia 219c with the 7135*8?
.
Looks like it already will have copper DTP.
So this is begging for a driver upgrade!

Waiting for the host version!
I really like the new driver with moonlight mode and no memory.
Any chance of get this driver also with the host?
Just received new version of E3 without memory. Measured tailcap currents on charged and rested batteries:
Ai, on li-ions the modes are way too close together, with no proper low, they placed their bets on NiMh’s and alkalines.

Yes thanks for the tailcap currents
mode 3, eneloop………2.3A
mode 3, liion (2)……….2.7A
So Li-ion doesn’t offer much more brightness vs NiMH?
(1) is rested cell and (2) is fully charged? What is the voltage of rested?
