They deleted Charger's post, but seeing as their page is now filling up with the same question being asked, it'll be hard for them not to answer now. Someone even mentioned this forum, and I'm pretty sure most ecig vendors don't want to be black-balled by ecf.
Lets try this
Looks like v2 to me, but I get lost in what folks call v1, v2, v2.1... I am looking at the tube it came in. I can tell you for sure that it's not one of the "Original 50".
I might have it backwards lol, I only have my HR switch with me at work.. thanks
Looks like v1 to me, notice the lack of knurling on the upper part of the switch. My v2 switch has knurling on both pieces.
That's why I get confused. I had one of the "Original 50" and both switch rings were knurled. So, if "Original 50" were v1, it's not v1.
V1 turns counterclockwise to lock, v2 turns clockwise and has the springy delrin to accept different sized batteries. V2.1 is recessed and has no locking ring.
man faceless is a hard devil to get a hold off. i think im never going to be able to use my illuminati in 18650 again =(
hopefully ill get it some day soon
hopefully ill get it some day soon
Those in the know may be proving me wrong but my understanding was the change from v1 to v2 was just a directional switch on the lockring. I thought the 2.1 was the new switch, and they where originally all going to be gunmetal but it turned into a PITA so the last two batches are bare allum again.
if you look farther back in the thread they used to call them the new switch and the new new switch lol.
I do remember the v1 rattled with AW IMR 18650, the v2 didnt, and the V1 unlock spun the same way removing the switch from the bat tube did so I would occasionally start to unscrew the switch a bit trying to lock until I noticed it.

So which one has no knurling on the top part? That'll answer it.
Notice the smooth ring at the top? That is the tell tail sign that it is a V2. I know that switch, as I had a Spider LE. It did not last long, before changes were made.
Ok, that's why I was confused. Mine is a replacement switch from Faceless and it has knurling on both parts, turns clockwise to lock and has spring loaded delrin.
I posted this one on the gotvapes thread and the guy took it down lol
thats some lazy photochopping
i bet they dont even know why "OB" is in blue 
This thing has been so iterative that there are really blurry lines between what people are calling v1, v2, v2.1... I've been here from the start and even I don't know. If you pushed him, I'll bet even Faceless wouldn't be able to give you a definitive answer. There was a prototype. There was the "Original 50" and then he started fiddling. A little change here, a little change there. I see all of you guys trying to define a difference and I have to admit I chuckle a little each time I see this discussion start. I'll just call it a hard hitting fog machine. Good buy, Strout!
You can tell the original 50 by the knurling... the top that screwed into the tube was less knurled than the lock ring, if that makes since... lol I had one as well, I have had them all, except Gun Metal (Clear Ano).
