Oh nice, how long have you had the CR123 version? I guess you already knew what you were in for when I told you about this host then.
I knew the finish was awesome, but I didnt realize how weighty the tiny host would be! Also, the little mini tail button is cool!
Peng, I'll send you a PM about a kit...
Spyder, yes they would be interchangealbe. I did not do it, because my chrome Pocket miny style host is a good flashlight that I kept, but the threads are the same. And I am sure it will work.

leukoplast said:Looking good Jay! Glad you like the host, I figured it was right up your alley due to micro-like size and heavy brass feel.
As for the pictures, they just don't do this host justice, I don't think any pictures would. ;D It is so much better looking in person. The knurling (right word?) and overall features on this light are very nice, even has a option to thread some rubber into the 3 grooves on the side like the Kryton barrels. For a relatively cheap flashlight from DX, the quality is amazing, especially the chrome finish and heavy feel. It definitely will make once fancy laser, that's for sure. [highlight]Oh, and just like the keychain mod, the host itself acts as the heatsink right? How well do you think that will work as far as proper heatsinking is concerned?[/highlight]
I like the light so much that I couldn't resist buying the CR123 version of this a few days ago. Same look and build, just slightly wider (but shorter) and probably heavier!

BTW, have you tried it with rubber inserts? I'm just wondering what it would look like or if the rubber would actually stay put.
leukoplast said:Nicely done Jay! That is seriously one tight fit, makes you wonder if we have almost reached a limit with how small the builds can be. Even when the boost drivers get smaller, the AixiZ heads will still take up a decent amount of room. If anything, we have reached the limit in diameter due to the AixiZ heads. I think your keychain build and this will be the smallest builds for quite a while.
And geez, 28%. Nice! Quick question, do you think these lenses perform better or worse than what Igort is doing a GB for?
(sent one to him frees)

Kenom said:Ahh but there ARE other modules other than Aixiz. I've got a slew of modules that are only 8mm in diameter and unlike the aixiz which is 12mm. Jay even has one for hisself.
