I definitely recommend solid copper pegs over magnets. Definitely a good tip i had no clue sofirn didn't include one of these. I just purchased a convoy 3x21d and I'm running 3 21700 molicel p45b's also I will most likely be running 3 p50b's both flat tops as u know. Should I run the included spacer? Some people said it wasn't needed but you are making some good points.
If your Molicels are smooth on top and fit tight, you may be good. But, I don't want to scratch up the flashlights copper ring. If it was me, I would use the adapter.
Some flat tops work great. But, many are a bit short in length and cause shorting issues. Many others have had issues with the batteries scratching the copper ring so bad the flashlight won't work anymore. These safeguard those issues.
The flat tops put out more amps and get better performance. Unfortunately there are no high discharge button top 21700 that's why people use the adapters
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
No problem.

My original Q8 has always worked perfectly with flat top 30Q's, no mods

Or you could just use the button top batteries the torch is designed for.
