The positive pin isn't adjustable at all?? Are you sure that it's not just a floating pin that's tight? A fixed pin is a deal breaker for me.
Anyone get the Panzer clone from FT yet?

I had to use a punch and hammer my 510 pin out.
I would suggest just sanding the delrin a bit at a time and keep test fitting until it "floats" (once you get it out).

anyone have a tutorial on this...this thing is annoying me...what did you use to punch it out? and sand it with my girls nail file? lol thx guys
Is it just me or after a few weeks my panzer clone loses its power (dramatic voltage drop)?
I can understand that; it's not for everyone.....It more or less looks like a flashlight TBH....
Youtuber Twisted420 has the link on his channel for the tactical flashlight in his review of Panzer clone...
I bought some $3 sand paper from Michael's and used a hammer + flathead punch to hit the brass pin out. I would suggest a more blunt object because I dented my pin a little bit because of the sharp edges.
1. Connect the top cap with another piece of the Panzer so the pin can fall out freely. Put it on a piece of napkin or cloth.
2. Use a sock and put it over the top cap to minimize any residual damage. Place your metal blunt piece on top of the brass pin (make sure its in the socket). Lightly tap with your hammer until it falls out.
3. Cut out a piece of sandpaper and roll it up to fit the delrin hole (will probably be pretty small). Proceed to sand out the delrin and periodically try to insert the brass pin in to the point where you can push it in with your hands but the delrin still has tension around the pin.
I've been looking for a mechanical mod with a recessed fire button as I don't particularly care for the Nemesis bottom button. For those that have one, real or clone, how different is it to use compared to the standard style bottom button?

+1....In addition to the Panzer clone I also got a Vanilla 18350 today, which has sort of a recessed button design....you just use your pinky knuckle to fire it and it works pretty well....
Does anyone know for sure if you can use a kick with the panzer clone in 18650 mode?
You mean with an 18650 battery?
No.
You can only just fit a vapesafe fuse in there with a button top battery.
I got the SS Fasttech one and the copper Focal-ecig one yesterday.
The SS is real nice like everyone says. The firing pin can get loose,a bit of blue threadlock fixes that. The lock ring thread is a little loose too, a little silver grease (conducts well) on all threads to ensure it will never seize up.
Apart from the lock ring thread being cut a little too much, its really nicely made. Top value.
The copper one from Focal-ecig was real rough. The contact pins had rough surfaces, all the threads were tarnished and dirty, the female firing pin thread is almost non existent, the button was a little too big and jammed all the time, the locking ring thread was real rough and would jam up.
So i worked on it and fixed the button with the drill and sandpaper to file it smaller evenly, cleaned the threads, filed the contacts flat, i had to use multigrips to get the lockring off, i fixed everything except the firing pin, ill need a new one. It works fine now and seems to conduct quite well being all copper. The only non copper parts are the spring and the insulators.
My first mods! Wow, the clouds....
No.

Not going to lie, didn't read the other posts, but I have had a few buddies with them actually somehow bust the spring inside the switch on the FT panzers, but the man mall had some beefier replacements.
