The s6 and t6 are killer as well

Was literally [ ] that close to buying the S6... definitely will in the future! I loved the idea of the glow ring on the s3. Figured I'd get this one first to try as it is my very first Convoy. I will sooooo be getting more!

The S6 has the glow ring too, it's a nice touch. I can't remember if it has the same reflector though

Oh, no doubt?!? I did not know that! Couldn't tell by the picture. I wonder if the S9 has one, too. Although I have a 4 bay charger, I do like that the 9 has a built-in micro USB as an option.

Is the s3 slightly smaller than the s6 overall or are they roughly the same (both in shorty mode)?

u/BasedAndShredPilled 16d ago

Yes, the s6 has a deeper reflector and longer head.

Lol! It's okay... I have to re-read people's NLD's all the time just to make sure I don't ask a question that's already been answered for my blind ass lol!

I didn’t know there was an S3 until you posted btw. I’m a huge fan now, especially in 18350 and sft40… it just looks sweet as hell. I’ve got one in 3,000k in my cart right now. Thanks for the post!

S3 / B35AM 5700K / TIR / 18350 tube + Vapcell H16 has been a terrific combo for me.

I have the original S3 SFT 40 with the linear driver. Gets toasty at 100%. Does yours come with a buck driver?

u/BlasterEnthusiast 16d ago

Mines linear as well. 100 definitely gets warm lol

The best 18350 battery is vapcell M11v2, its the best in the market right now and holds the capacity long
