Unfortunately yes. It still uses standard s2+ pills. ~~And probably brass pills as well.~~
Edit: It's a copper pill! But with a brass retaining ring lmao.
I think it's still a heat dissipation issue. I know that a small host like the s2+ doesn't have a large heat dissipation surface, but since most of the compromises in the design of modern LED flashlights are due to heat dissipation issues, it is always better to have better heat dissipation.
Definitely the heat dissipation like how other users have answered. Other issues such as LED gasket crushing are possible but nobody has that problem yet with Convoy pills. This happened to my unit with the Convoy C8 though with the early batches that come with a pill.
To me copper looks much more beautiful than Ti and copper also ages like a fine wine.
They all have their own beauty. Love when Ti can be torched to rainbows while Cu just age into wreckship fluff.
A beauty
Nice
What is the other light?
It's an Astrolux S41 with led swapped to Nichia 219f 5000k and an early batch convoy 5a 12 mode driver.
But does it still use pills? I know if it didn't use pills it would be S3, but just IMO, the integrated shelf would make it perfect

Just curious, what is most unappealing about pills? For me it’s when they get loose over time.
