Can someone post a Archon or shock with a Mence emitter please?
Gimme a bit. I'll try to get you a pic tonight. Hope you don't mind Menace CE emitters.

The only problem with crossing Menace emitters is that you have to have a minimum female thread depth. If the body doesn't have enough thread depth, then the Menace overlay won't seat tightly, and freely spin around the underlay. Undecided

The threads are the same size. It's the depth that is the question.

You'll have to let me know how it sits on both those sabers. I still want to see pics of them

This is interesting. I was thinking about picking up 2 Menace emitters for my Dominicide on order.
Point to you, Logos.

Also wouldn't mind seeing a Archon with a Fallen Emitter. Trying to think of weird combinations

As promised:



The Menace emitter fits fine on the Shock, but the overlay is loose on the Archon.

You'll have to let me know how the emitter feels sitting on both sabers
The emitter are made up of 3 pieces; the overlay being the lightest. The blade holder/underlay weighs about the same as a normal 1-piece emitter. What kills it thought is the "emitter plate" on the end that secures the overlay in position. It weighs a ton. And on the end of a longer saber, it feels very unbalanced. The Menace itself is a shorter saber, so one grip is closer to the emitter, and it feels more balanced. The only true way to balance this boulder of an emitter is with another emitter in the form of a staff. It's a bit heavier than I would prefer in a staff, but the overall hilt length is absolutely perfect. I'm pretty sure Samhain138 will back me up on this.

This is interesting. I was thinking about picking up 2 Menace emitters for my Dominicide on order.
Point to you, Logos.
If they don't, I'm pretty sure you could get some thin plastic to shim up the gap. I think the Dominicide would be a brick with Menace emitters, but should look cool.

I love the Dominicide emitter. It is shallow and light,.....and all sorts of Sith sinister. I got a red one for Kath for her birthday. Now it completes Lady's Hand.

The Shock itself is incredibly light. So the massive emitter is more noticeable on that hilt. The Archon is thicker with a heavier pommel, so it's less noticeable, but still there.

But the overlay doesn't sit right on the Archon so that does me no good

As I replied to BatMike, you could find material to make a shim in order to tighten it up. And TBH, I don't know if that is just on my hilt, or if that is true for all. Variations in machining and what not.

I imagine it would be the same for all hilts. I might go with the Shock just to be safe. I can compensate for the weight difference.

My Scorpion staff with QD coupler is a brick. So two Menace emitters on a Dominicide should not be terrible. lol.
