Temporary 18350 option - Remove the inner spring.
The inner spring is super stiff, and the outer spring is pretty normal. We’re not drawing enough current to need two springs.
However, if you remove the inner spring, the 18650 fit is a little weak, and a moderate bump will turn off the light. Even with the double spring a stiff smack will turn the light off…
What I’m doing is when I use an 18650, I put a 1.5x5mm round magnet against the battery, giving the 18650 a bit of extra length.
Until proper length tubes become available, this is my solution. If 18350 tubes aren’t free for us, I’ll probably just keep using this option, although it does add a couple extra grams to this already absurdly heavy flashlight.
@dcavni I also had a broken glass issue and looked a ton for repacements. The stock glass is a SUPER tight fit. I considered buying a watch glass off ebay link, but went for this AR lens from fasttech instead.
If you’re buying from ebay, dropping to 19.5 might be a good call, if there’s any error whatsoever, the 19.7 might not fit. The fasttech one is significantly smaller possibly to the point of trouble, but I figured it’d be worth a shot.
