My first mod (LED Lenser v6)

[Lokiran]

Just finished my first actual mod today (the puck doesn't count) Made it out of a LED Lenser v6. Currently using 2 cr2's

Don't tell the Gov't, but the support plate at the top, for the atty connection is a nickel... it fit perfectly.

The only issue I'm having is with space... I thought I was going to be able to make room in the head to raise the connection plate a bit, to allot for bigger bats.... all I can fit in there as of now is CR2's. I'm going to be shopping around for a threaded tube that will fit on here to allow for bigger batts, but I have a feeling I'm not going to have much luck. I might order a housing from Lenser if they sell parts like that for their bits.

I'm hearing it isn't smart to stack cr2's, but I'm also seeing there are protected one out there. Should I get these? Is this going to make much of a difference?

YES,, it's a saftey thing. and I would drill at least 3 holes in the bottom so if they do go ballistic they will vent away from your face. Instead of becoming a hand grenade.

BTW,,, cool mod.

It's my first Her name is XiXi. Thanks for the compliments.

And yes I'm aware of the venting issue. I was just anxious to have a workable piece ^.^ Drilling a few 1/16ths in the base tomorrow.

I sure understand that.
Now you need to mod yourself up a matching tank the same OD as the body.
Is the body made of SS?

looks beautiful~!

It is made from SS, but I have almost no idea as to where to start making my own tank It's an idea though.

The flashlight you posted is the 7730, the one I've used is the 7732 If I remember correctly the 7730 is longer in the head by about 1/2' Making it a little more ideal for a cr123 mod. I'll post on how to take the head apart here within the next couple days... And how I'd go about moding this out now that I know what I know. I decided I didn't want to use cr2's so I stripped down the inner workings of the head a bit to raise the contact.... it's a little bit of a mess atm but I'll get it there ^.^

Search the forum for Gummy tanks. look at how a MAP tank works, It's just a big syringe mod. If you can build a cool looking mod like this ,,, you can build that.

LED-Lenser Coast 7730 Power Chip V6 Flashlight Torch on eBay (end time 23-Mar-11 16:03:50 GMT)

Although not quite as pretty, a flashlight like this may be worth considering.

$6.42 - 5LED 2-Cr123A Flashlight Silver - Other LED Lights

Power
2 x CR123A (3.0V or 3.6V rechargeable or primary batteries are fine)

Seeing as it's a native 2 cell CR123A you'll be able to use more powerful, better and safer cells that the CR2's.

 

[Lokiran]

.... You know what you are WillyB?..... You sir... are a great idea.

Ordering this flashlight now.

And thanks for the tip Gummy, going to see if this is something feasible for this mod

 

[tony2stix]

A nice torch,what about this one? Looks nice and all of it breaks down into small pieces
$7.90 - 8-LED Flashlight with Knife and Glass Breaker Survival Toolkit (3*AAA) - Other LED Lights


And thanks for getting back, it would be great of you show us how you went on, on how you did it, and to show the way for the one I have purchased
It is much appreciated thank you both
Tony
