Oveready Unified P60 Hosts

[jdboy]

I used the washer from the P20 host. It appears to have the same ID but a larger OD.

Ah ok, hopefully we're on our way to solving the OP's problem.

Unified P20 with a high CRI triple and glow optic! 😍

 

[Dead Reckoning]

I do not. Thanks for the response, Dan!

Sorry for the difficulty. Most likely the stronger spring on the v5 is combining with a longer battery and forcing the v5 neg contact ring off of the hosts neg contact surface.

I'll need to ship you a spring washer. In the meantime do you have a spring washer or shorter battery to try?

Update

Our original testing showed that the P20 Unified Host benefited from spring washers and the Z35 did not. But this testing was based on a single set of batteries that have not shown to be representative. Longer batteries also benefit from spring washers on the Z35.

We are now shipping free spring washer kits to all Z35 owners.

When yours arrives, please remove your current kit and follow these steps:

insert spring washer
insert dropin (not included)
insert one (thinner) oring
insert lens
insert second (thinner) oring
thread in and tighten bezel ring
test

Hi,

Quick question : is the Z70 compatible with the 18350 and 18650 extender ? It will not be pretty but it's useful for extended runtime.

Could someone post picture of the Z70 and Z35 next to a classic 6p or moddoolar bodies ?

Thank you.

 

[Tachead]

Does anyone have a picture of the Z70 with standard knurled tailcap and a Surefire grip ring? Thanks.

Z70 models are almost sold out. More are already in production but there will be a period with no availability

Shorter models are proving less popular and may not be made again

I love all 3 models

Can any p60 drop in be used with the z35 host or do you need to use an oveready p60 drop in with it?
I have a sportac p60 drop in currently that I need to use, will this work in the z35 host?
Thanks

Welcome to CPF!

Any P60 should work. I run a PFlexPro unit in mine.

Has anyone ever used a Malkoff Tricap on one of these? If so, can you post a photo?

I can get a pic tomorrow. I ran my Z70 with a tricap for a few days but it is longer overall than with Z41 type tail cap.

I ordered a v5 triple drop in with the unified Z70 host. I struggled with the tail cap options, but I decided to forego the deep pocket carry tail cap. Not really interested in a clip. I'll run it with a tricap for now, although I may switch to a z41 in the future. Looking forward to receiving this! It will be my first Oveready flashlight.
