The Quantum DD (and other versions)

I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to remove a tritium vial from a Quantum DD.

I got the acetone to dissolve the epoxy but I can't figure out how to get a grip on the vial to pull it out. Should I just break in in to pieces and then remove the broken glass perhaps, or does anyone know a more elegant way to remove it?

 

Thanks for the tip, but that was what I was using.

I only used a tiny drop of epoxy on top of the vial to seal it in but perhaps there is still some on there, it 'is difficult to tell. But I just though of trying to slide a super-thin razor blade in underneath the vial to see if I can pry it out that way after applying some more acetone.

I'll report back later

 

Looks like the Cooyoo is rebranded in the US as MecArmy. Their aftermarket charger is a ripoff of the Nomad chargekey as well. But for less than $4, I might have to hit up their usb key.

 

This is "another version" kind of. ​

Question - anyone know a good source for the 10180 battery for a D2? Mine has never seemed to charge rarely and now it won't at all.

TIA

 

Try Googling "gear best 10180 batteries" = $1.65 incl post. I have some of these and they work well enough. HTHs

 

When turning off a D2 light make sure you turn it till you can feel/hear the battery when you shake. If the battery is still touching the back of the light and the qtc then it'll slowly get drained and will eventually go beyond the point of no return. You can destroy a brand new battery like that in a couple days.

 

Good point Westerdutch.
For anyone with a Quantum DD there will be no rattle or feeling the battery when you unwind the head and shake it. The battery holding magnet of the DD is not present in the D2 and custom Ti model (10180).

 

Thanks Heywood - looks like it's a slow boat from china, but that will do.

 

Well, it's been 9 months and I have collected ALL the Veleno 10180 plus some.
I started with 2 D2s last June.
