This thing is a mechanical work of art. The top cap and adjustable center pin are amazing. As with all of my SuperT devices, it hits like a freight train. David, you knocked it out of the park. Way out.

David,
any change you can make an 18500 " accent ring" so with that battery there is actually no telescoping tube showing...?

It comes with it, it's not on in his photos.
Edit: or it's the 18650 mode he use it in.
Actually, it might already be that way. I think the reason that the tube is showing on mine is that I put an extra oring in mine to raise the battery a bit. That makes the switch throw longer so that I can stand the device on the "horns" at the bottom. I don't know if David recommends this, I was just kind of experimenting to see whether I could get it to stand up, as that's how I usually have my devices on my desk. I'm also using a button top Efest battery, which I believe are longer than the AW batteries. I'm guessing that with an AW and no extra oring, you probably wouldn't see any of the center tube.

really?! Great!!!
Does it stand up straight without the extra oring and a regular 18490 IMR in the "normal"configuration?

Ahhhhh a ELA in the wild : ) Really can't wait for mine now. Can't wait to see one in satin with brass rings too
I just pre ordered yesterday, maybe I should stay away from this thread for awhile so I dont get too jealous. I'm just happy I made it on the preorder list.
Here's a pic with no extra oring and using AW 18490. None of the tube is showing. It will stand up, but will fire while standing up in this config. [Edit: It will not fire standing up in this configuration with David's stock setup - I think I had the wrong (thinner) oring in the bottom, causing the switch throw to be too short.]

How about a shot in 18650 mode.

Just to clarify, it will fire while standing up in this config if the button is UNlocked. If the button is locked, it won't fire while standing up.
lol, I understand that, but I tend to forget locking it, happened before with other units ;-)
Yeah, I've done that too. That extra oring in there solves the problem, at the minor (IMO) expense of a small amount of the inner tube showing.
