question… I just got a fw3a from amazon, but it came with the plastic optic and no glass lens. I have some carclo optics, but I dont have the glass lenses… anyone know where we can get them? (23mm x 1.5mm ?)

Thanks!

I’ve ordered from here once before (but not this size specifically), they are plain glass lenses in tons of sizes:

Esslinger.com

Flat Round Mineral Glass Watch Crystal 1.5mm Thick

Stock up on these flat and round mineral glass watch crystals in the event your current watch crystal is damaged.

Price: USD 2.95

And the other option is a slightly smaller, slightly thicker UCL lens with AR:

FlashlightLens.com - Your source for high quality glass and acrylic flashlight lenses. - Flashlightlens.com - Online Store (store is closed for order for a week or two)

The stock AR ones have a decent amount of tint shift but neither of the above ones should have that problem.

Anyone have an extra rubber ring from their FW3A that they don’t plan on using? Looking to pick up an extra one or two. PM me.

WTB trit switch that sits flush

pol77 · 2019-09-05T22:33:26.000Z

A switch thin enough to sit flush would not be thick enough for trits. It is one or the other.

CRX · 2019-09-05T22:36:24.000Z

It can be done.

contactcr · 2019-09-05T22:37:49.000Z

PM address I send switch CRX. I will give you a 5 star review

pol77 · 2019-09-05T22:39:51.000Z

Ah! Very clever CRX. Using the inside of the button!

I haven’t been edc’ing this much because I’ve had trouble pushing it in my pocket without pushing the button. But today I might have cured that. I’ll see how it goes.

I had a similar idea - I’m looking forward to hearing about your experience with it. How did you attach the extension?

dragunbayne · 2019-09-17T23:59:50.000Z

It’s it seems to work. Someone else used a washer attached with e6800. I’ve thought about it, I just haven’t bit the bullet.
