I chose JM 30 over jm 35 due to better driver. More amps.
and longer handle works better and is better looking.
I also agree with those who prefer triple X-PL HI
over the MTG2.
M4D’s code also works on the NEW JM35 (now comes with extension tube and dual-switches on side AND rear clicky. - just like everyone always wanted since it was first released!)
Regular price is now $44.99, but M4DM4X’s code reduces it to $39.59 (which is below the previous email newsletter promotion they were running, now ended.)
It is definitely worth the extra $3 or so for the latest version.

Hope this is all useful info for you.
Good luck with the purchase and keep shining!

But now batteries, the only 26650 batteries I have on my way, is protected Shoshine 5500mAh.
Looking now, how is KeepPower batteries? Cheap ones on GB now…
Then I ordered 4 x VAPPOWER 26650 5200mAh from banggood.com and 4 x KeepPower 5200mAh from GB, both got around $40 with codes, and/or points.
That become a expensive flashlight. $40 for the flashlight, then $80 for batteries.
Yeah…why did I don’t think about that… with the other flashlights I got a plastic tube for using 18650 batteries….wasted some money on 8 x 26650 batteries there…
You have two versions, one with just one cell, and one with two cells. The one with two cells, can’t run on two cells. Unsure if the version with one cell, can run with two cells…but I have not found any extension tube for the JM35 version, so don’t think you can add more on the one cell version.
I’m getting the one cell version tomorrow, so will see how different they are in use. I already have the two cell version.
No, the two battery version has a tail switch, and then you can use the side switch to switch mode, but not to turn it on/off.
On the single version, you use the side switch to turn it on/off and change modes.
The extension tube from the two battery version do not fit the one battery version.
I don't see why not. Just make sure it is not protected one. "One battery JM35" uses boost driver and it draws about 6 amps to deliver 3 amp to Led. So high drain battery is a must.
