Excellent! The titanium 18500 will really show you what Super-T is all about. Not resisting is the only way to get one. :) Nothing against the 14500, but the top line is magnificent. I need to pass on the 18500; it would be an unnecessary duplication (priorities have changed slightly).
Have you had a chance yet to see a P+?

No not yet. Maybe if I saw one in person, but I don't serm to be attracted to the plus all that much

Also, just a heads up, many ordered satin finish. Keep in mind that the satin may not match perfectly. Media seasons as no two batches are the same shade.

I must of got lucky.....My Satin ELA matches my Satin bottom button perfectly...or at least its undetectable to the human eye.
I found that the travel of my button was a bit crunchy, probably because the button has more surface area contacting the bottom cap compared to the stock cap. I sanded down the satin surface of the button using 600 grit, and then followed that with a Cape Cod cloth. I also polished the inner surface of the new cap. The action of the button is so smooth now...as if it's sliding on glass!
Lucky again as my flat bottom button is a smooth as the original stock button....
Third, Super T's locks. It's a a bit of fiddling to lock, but since its flat and recessed, you don't need to lock it near as much.
You think? Abit of fiddling.....She is tough to lock, its not locking it that's tough its trying to line up your button so you can push the lock switch that's tough.....:lol:........Anyway I don't see the need to lock it as the button is fully enclosed....maybe if you carried it in a pocket you might want to lock it.... Now as far as the looks go...The original SuperT button was a work of art with its lines....This one looks different....not quite as sleek/line wise....But it was made for the ELA and fits like a glove....I like it!
The "Rock Solid" stance it gives the ELA when standing on end makes it the winner between the two button styles IMO.....:thumbs:

It's one of those type of mods. You have to hold it to believe it. All I need is the 18350 version and my P+ collection will be complete.

Nice! I think what turns me off is the air slot in the tube. I would get dirt, lint,etc in there. I imagine if I saw one in person, it could change my mind.
I am very happy with my 14500 and cant wait to get the ela and titanium in my hands. I have a satin 18350 simplicity tube I got from raqball:D wow it is super light and thin

We also have a limited number of Titanium 18500 simplicities up. We already have the Caps, locking rings and plated posts for them, just need to do up some bodies and switches. We should be able to squeeze those in later next week too.

I always said if you made a 18500 Ti simplicity I would buy one.....There is one thing missing though...What about the matching Simplicity Integrated Titanium Kiklet ? Like the one that came with the 18350 Ti?...... That I would need to close the deal.....I must be able to Kick2 the 18500 Ti....

I am in mobile mode. Wow, this rots!

Riverboat: The Tis are beautiful. My 18350 is beautiful. My 18650, which is ribbed, is beautiful. They are like jewelry. I am also getting the 18500. But, I don't use them. I bought the Tis, just because they were Ti. Something special. Something different. Something light, I could use as a backup in my dress purse. Although, my love is for SS, I would think a SS Simplicity would not do it for me. I like heavy SS. Hence, my ELA gets my complete attention. :)

Nighthawk: Yay!!!!!!

For me it would be hard to top the ELA..............It's not only the design that turns me on....its the heavyweight build that I love the most...ELA is a :evil:BEAST:evil: of a mod...and the way it stands up with the flat bottom button...ROCK SOLID!!!

For those of you who have both the ribbed and polished versions, which do you prefer? I've never seen the ribbed in person, but I think I may like it. If for no other reason than it's different.

Looks and feel, I prefer the polished 350 Ti, over the ribbed 650 Ti. But, the ribbed 650 Ti, is the only ribbed mod I own. So, kinda cool.

I have a ribbed 18500 SS and the 350 Ti. It's like trying to say which of your kids you love more. I will say that the ribbed is awesome for "grippiness", as I am kinda butterfingered at times.
