Yes, almost identical in length, but not width. The new PP 18350 is just a hair longer then the newer P16340's were and the PP 18350 is a full 2mm thicker then the P16340.
NEW MODS!! The PrecisePlus 18500 & 18350.

Early december is the goal. P+ 18350's and P+18500 i should have a few in about two weeks. P+ 16340 and P+10440 in about two weeks also.
If so, then this screw on version could also be used for the 18,500 as to go for the 18,490 instead of the 18,350 when "kicked", RIGHT ... !?
Just thinking out loud here, but How great it would be if this add on included the possibility to include the kick or not... Meaning...
A 18,500 with this add on sort of extension cap/ button could be used to "kick-improve" your unit with a 18,490 IMR and as an alternative: to keep it still fully mechanical but with a 18,650...
Now, THAT would be sooooo cool...
And the minimal look wouldn't still be compromised... We could really use your magic here David...
Just saying... =)

I think you should wait to make your judgement until you see the new finish in person. I was a bit nervous about it at first but now that I have been using it for well over a month, I like the way it is holding up and also how its much more grippy.
Yes i figured out the route i am going on the switch.
Is it a secret?

I agree. It holds up so well. No scratches and no fingerprints!!!!
Same here! Wooooo!
I'll have the PrecisePlus 16340 and PrecisePlus 10440 availble hopefully by the end of next week. I hope to have more PrecisePlus 18350, 18500 and 18650 by early december. I may have a few P+18500's and 18350's in a couple of weeks too, but a very limited supply and those will just be first come, first serve.
I'm interested on a P+ 18650. Should I wait for early December to place my order or may I pay it now? Along with batteries, charger and drip tips.
Standing by to update/upgrade my P10, P16, & P18 classic models.....take my money David!!!

David does not do pre-orders so come back for updates on when they will go up for sale.

Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@David, are you willing to share which route you are going with the switch on the p10, please, I am desperate to know.
Dang, almost a month on a P+ 18650? Got my first experience with a + and now I gotta have one! I have loved my S6 and P10 and P18 but the hit on the P+ is just incredible!

For me, the Precise is the epitome of elegant simplicity. When you start adding screw on extensions, it reminds me of another fine but over designed (IMO) mod. But, I guess that's not an accurate statement either because, the way a Precise fits together, it would be hard to tell the extension was even there. I guess have mixed emotions on this one.
If he made an accessory top-cap integrating a Kick module, it would be ~15mm longer than the existing cap, which would throw off the balance between the slightly larger OD ends of the battery tube.....the larger OD top section would be longer than the section at the bottom.....but if the accessory cap narrowed back to the same OD as the narrow section at the top, at the point where the top of the tube is, in the existing model, it would maintain that balance....more or less. The biggest problem with that idea, is that the lengths of the slightly larger OD sections aren't equivalent on the 18500 and 18650 mods, so a single-model replacement cap accessory wouldn't work on both of them, in terms of maintaining that aesthetic balance.
The other thing, is that lengthening the P+ 18650 another 15mm with an accessory cap, then sticking a tank on top.....which many people would do...risks making the whole thing, just too long and unwieldy. The drop-in Kick module necessitates a compromise of consistent performance and shorter battery life. I can live with that, more easily than I could live with compromising the precise symmetry of my P+.
