Gawdam post lag!
I hope so. Where did you hear that?Supposedly these things are shipping this week. Guess we will see.
It's pretty much a rumor. Someone stated on tactical response FB page that they called surefire and was told the 27th. So take that for what it's worth. [emoji16]I hope so. Where did you hear that?

I just placed my order as well. It states November shipping.
To me, the E-series is my favourite platform, so I ordered it. $150 for a brand new SF design doesn't sound too expensive to me. Once it comes in, I'll see how it does with standard E-series parts, and if a 16650 will work it.
guarded optimism on this new torch!

Yeager's latest video he stated he made sure it wouldnt work with rechargeables because he doesnt think they belong in this light. I bet sf still made it compatible with 2x16340 or 16650 i duno just have a feeling
What? How did he make sure? Tightened the inner diameter of the body? IDK if he is actually dictating absolutely every specification.
Either way, you can always use a different e body.

Yeager is a self defense guru, but I don't get the impression that he knows batteries that well. When he said rechargeables don't work, I had the impression he was referring specifically to 18650's.
Yes. Certain lights I only run primaries in. They tend to be the ones I rely on the most. Same goes for tailcaps. I use twistys instead of clickys. Broke too many clickys to put the utmost trust into them.Correct. I'm betting a lot of members might not like this light because they won't understand it's intended use.
I can confirm that the LX2 can fit a 16650. It's sort of a tight fit, but runs perfectly fine on them.

Besides cr123s having superior resistance to cold, what do they have on a sanyo ur16650zta unprotected as far as being more dependable?
Or really any unprotected lithium ion actually.
Yep. Pretty much the only differences. If one chooses to run lion batteries unprotected is the way to go for more reliability.Not much, really. I suppose one might argue that most lights cut off abruptly at a certain voltage when running on li-ons , whereas the primaries taper off slowly. For me personally (just one guy's opinion), I'd trust any of my unprotected AW cells on a full charge.
One might also add that primaries are maintenance free when left unused for years, while li-ons will need attention.
