Really.
That's Not a Flashlight. That's something that goes on the end of an e-Cigarette. LOL.
Have You read much about what the FDA has said regarding "intended Use"?

Really. I've never picked up my K100 to light my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. (hardly ever need a flashlight outside anymore, since they built that shopping center up the road with all the light pollution it puts out).
As a dodge to get something through customs, I expect that putting an LED on a 510 and calling it a flashlight will work for a little while, but not for long.
I own this Mod...
$37.60 Kangxin Mini VF KX-50D Temperature Control 50W VW MOD - 1-50W / 1*18650 / aluminum alloy / silver at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Didn't get it because it can be used as a "Flashlight". Although it has come in Handy a Few Times. Got it because it was an Inexpensive way to see if I liked TC.
It's not that hard to solder together a switch, battery carrier and 510 connector and make a mod. Heck, even I have done that (mostly to prove to myself that I could). I still haven't figured out how to build an atomizer from scratch though, lacking any actual machine shop skills.
Overall, it will be a sad day for vaping safety if and when people are driven to home-made solutions because of FDA regs against what we'd prefer to buy.
You are aware, you can purchase as a complete assembly.
Who is to say to intended use?
Is a Multi power tool intended to use as a Drill or a circular saw? Is it's use intended for the home owner or Contractor............or simply to make life easier.
FDA cannot deem a Flashlight must be one piece or require special fitment.
Not yet anyway

But they could easily decide that anything sporting a 510 connector has an intended use of powering a vape.
if you are running multiple MOSFETs to a common load you need to place a small (100ohm) resistor in series between the gate and the switch to prevent oscillation in that power structure this oscillation will keep the MOSFETs from turning off when the switch is released.

I think you Kinda have it on Backwards.
The FDA Isn't going to say what a "Flashlight" is. They are going to say what an e-Cigarettes is.
Hey Don't get me Wrong. I don't like where Any of this is Going. I'm just saying People should Think About where things are going. And Maybe Plan for the Worst.
To each their own.
Really?!!!!???
No, they can't "easily decide" to regulate a thread size.
That's utterly ridiculous.

The FDA can't regulate flashlights.
No matter how hard you try to convince yourself.
Just watch how this goes down.
They will only tell you what IS approved. They can't really "ban" anything. They can only classify them as unapproved.
Everything else will be left up to interpretation based on the intended use to the end user. Marketing and labeling is all they can regulate.
It's not a drug, or a food.
No they do not have the authority to regulate a metric thread size.
It may come as a surprise to you but threads on metal have millions of other uses.
Swing ....and a miss.

They aren't Regulating Flashlights. There going to Regulate "e-Cigarettes". And if your e-Cigarettes happens to be able to Create Light, those who have Read what the FDA has said Don't Feel it is going to be a Viable way to get around Regulation.
Who said that a Thread is going to be Regulated? It's the thing that the Thread is On that will be Considered for Regulation. You would think that an "Advanced User" like yourself would Understand that?
Just Curious: How Many Products have a 510 Thread, are Batter Powered, and provide Electrical Output thru the 510 "Connector" that are Not an e-Cigarette?
First I would think they would need to Define - Properly - a 510 connector.
So this would let a P3, a Hybrid and a Quasi-Hybrid off the hook?
What about an EGO Connector with no internal threading
Seriously, lets wait and see what they Actually Do.

I think that Sounds like a Great Idea.
I was about to post nearly the same thing.
I don't truly believe the FDA will go that far, but if they wanted to, it's actually less ridiculous than some of the other rules they will certainly put in place.
If I owned a B&M, I would have a posted a massive chart explaining battery saftey and amp draw verse coil resistance or a hand out sheet with every purchase. If I sold hybrid mechs I would have a sheet explaining 510 connectivity. It would be pretty simple to produce. I cannot believe nobody can find one lawsuit yet. Even if it is user error a negligence case should be easy enough to bring with sever damages to the user. People bring all kinds of product liability cases where the damage was caused by user error and still win or a settlement is entered into. Has anybody seen or heard of one ecig legal case?
