However, I’m a bit paranoid about not knowing who the original manufacturer of the cell is with 26650s. At least with 18650s it is relatively easy to find out if the original cell is from ‘high quality’ companies such as Panasonic/Sanyo, LG, etc.
Improved tailcap: now the tailcap is less bright in order to respect the button timing. So leds on both sides and 752 resistors with a value of 7,5 kΩ ( higher value than 202 used on X6v2). Double gold plated spring.
Thanks to Toykeeper
Difference beetween COMETA and X6v2 tailcaps.
Tailcap teardown:
Good anodization:
Best machining on zooming’s threading with higher tolerances. Now the zooming action is very smooth and in intermediate positions the head stay in place and don’t rattle if the light is shack up.
Redisegned brass pill to accept 17 mm driver and 16 mm led star.
Redisegned alluminium cover for the led mcpcb with a smaller hole to prevent light artifacts due to reflexes on copper board. Thanks to the parabolic shape there is no need of the ring present in the stock Jax.
This flashlight has a plenty of threads: all are well machined
Will there be more available than those already ordered ?
What I mean is that after I have received the one I have already ordered will it be possible for me to get another one ?
Oh & have you done any tail cap amperage measurements on the final sample ?
I like the new pill. Seems to be heavier than the old one and it takes 17mm drivers.
And the driver seems to sit deeper in the pill. This solves the problem with the long 26650 (26700) cells like from Keeppower.
The black centering ring seems to be much more solid and has a better thread.
The black XPL adapter promises much to me. This always was a weak point in the Z1.
Also like the thicker spring on the driver.
… more than thes two springs in the tailcap. They look a little bit crappy for me.
The tailcap is darker than the kronos tailcap - also a pro.
Thanks for confirming those 2 points for me.
Re the Amperage just wanted to check that it was still around the 5.5A mark of the early sample
BTW it looks very good :sunglasses:
Wow looks great!
especially this part

Looks just outstanding, really great pictures,
Is this GB made for exact orders?
If so PLEASE if possible add just one more to my Number 125 NW
Just to nice to again make the same mistake as I have before, wish you would have bought two.
Thank you Cyberescudo
