26650 EDC or other manufactures of the Ultrafire F13?

I’m not unhappy with the F13, but I’m still looking for another, better, inexpensive 26650 host.

As to appearance, I like mine a lot more now that I’ve filed down the flats with the XML… and Ultrafire logos and polished them to a shine. It seems less cheap-looking now.

Any photo of that?

Also, is that the one you put an SST-40 in?

I ordered two from there. I couldn’t make out any flaws in the domes of the ones I received. I put one in a direct-drive light. I haven’t done any rigorous tests, but I can say that it puts out a lot of light and runs relatively cool. I built a similar light in an F13 host, with a 26650 battery, but I used an SST-40 emitter on a DTP copper MCPCB I bought from Kai domain. I’d estimate they have similar performance, but the one from KaiDomain is slightly warmer, as expected.
