Great minds think alike, I asked the same question two pages ago.
I was looking at the Nitecore i4 and xtar xp4, and although neither say they can do 14250s, I bet the included chargers weren't designed to charge them either, hence the spacers. I hope they work with the XP4 because I'm getting that one.
Its the little white ring. It fits into the bottom adapter where the center post screws into.
There were issues with the V3 top, the one with the push out button that had the on/off feature. Possibly the second one you were referring to. It would randomly stop working and only blink even with fresh batteries. Sometimes it would fix itself, other times youd have to unscrew the cartridge and/or top sometimes multiple times before it would work again. Sometimes it would work for a while other times youd take one hit and then it would go back to blinking... I sent mine back to G and he recreated the issue and think its fixed. That was about a month or so ago
Does anyone know if the nitecore will do 14250 as well?, with or without the spacers.
Most if not all parts are for sale. They may not be on the site but you can call in or file a ticket and we can get you the pieces. We are constantly updating the site with parts and pieces it's very tedious with the amount of stuff the Hercules sr71 /74 have !i love my herc and w9 products. the CS is very good! although, i must say i find it very strange that if i choose as a herc owner to purchase a second spare part (any part) for the herc that this is not offered
not sure why??? to protect w9 and sales of new hercs, i could see having to show proof of prior herc purchase to obtain/ buy spare parts for the herc.
i would assume many herc users rely on this device for daily medicating. having some spare parts that are vulnerable to failure is important to the daily herc user!
understand!! good to hear- thanks for quick reply
Just buy this one, and be done with it.... This is what I use, as well as a majority of the others... It charges 18350, it just does not mention it in the description... Its a $20 piece of equipment... I would treat it as an item that you will probably replace every 18 months or so.... The fact of the matter is comparing the xtar, tothe nite core, is like the whole chevy vs. ford... They are both going to run like shit when they hit 80k-90k miles.... This is the one I bought... If there was a really high quality unit for like $60 I would buy it... But alas my searches have not yielded any results....
