This is disappointing, I was hoping to utilize a triple pill I already purchased, but it sounds like this will not be possible. I guess I could make a single emitter light with the included brass pill.
I realized that I should be able to make a spacer and use the existing pill. It won’t be the beautiful one I have already, but it should be functional. This just means that I’ll need to build ANOTHER light (boo hoo right?).
I dont understand why he would change the threading. This goes against part of what makes the S2+ great, being able to mix and match. Simon needs to make this right and produce a batch of copper 18350 tubes that do thread with traditional S2+ bodies and send them to all who ordered with the intent of using them on 1st ans 2nd run copper lights.
Agreed.
I ordered 2 copper pills for my original copper S2+ and another S2+ alum. BUT, the main thing I wanted was the copper 18350 tube to fit the Cu S2+ I have now. The one I just received does not fit. Threads look more coarse.
I am probably going to try and make my own and then solder it to the included brass pill. The whole body is copper, so I can’t imagine the pill being brass would hurt it. I was going for overkill with a copper pill, copper DTP MCPCB, copper host… but it should be just fine with a little brass in it.
The spacer shape is pretty simple, and a small piece of copper rod/bar would get me most of the way there.
I purchased mine on 10/10 hasn’t even left China yet — ridiculous —-I’m in no hurry but I hate having to keep checking on my stuff—I asked Simon—he said our shipping is very slow
