Quick answer

To set up your Q1 V2 - Tritium Ready with the 6x Tritium Set, first order the add-on in a 1:1 quantity ratio with your Q1 V2 unit, then install the vials one by one into the designated slots, ensuring each is fully seated and secure.

Why the 1:1 quantity rule matters

The 6x Tritium Set is an add-on exclusively for the Q1 V2 - Tritium Ready. The store enforces a strict 1:1 ratio: you may purchase one add-on unit for each Q1 V2 - Tritium Ready in your order. This policy prevents excess add-ons from being ordered without the main unit and ensures that every set has a corresponding host. If you order more add-ons than main units, the excess will be removed from your order.

Check your Q1 V2 for tritium readiness

Before ordering, confirm that your Q1 V2 is the 'Tritium Ready' version. This model has pre-machined slots designed to hold tritium vials. If you have a different version, the add-on will not fit. The product listing for the Q1 V2 - Tritium Ready will specify this compatibility.

Handle vials with care

Tritium vials are glass tubes containing a small amount of radioactive gas. While the radiation is contained and generally safe for everyday carry, the glass is fragile. Handle each vial gently and avoid dropping or scratching it. Work over a soft surface to prevent breakage if a vial slips.

Step-by-step installation

  1. Order the correct quantity: Add the Q1 V2 - Tritium Ready to your cart first, then add the 6x Tritium Set. Ensure the number of add-on sets equals the number of Q1 V2 units. For example, if you order one Q1 V2, you may order one 6x Tritium Set. Double-check your cart before checkout to avoid order adjustments.
  2. Prepare your workspace: Choose a clean, well-lit area with a soft surface, such as a microfiber cloth, to prevent vials from rolling or breaking if dropped. Gather any small tools you may need, like tweezers or a soft-tipped pusher. Avoid working over hard floors or cluttered areas.
  3. Insert vials into the slots: One by one, gently press each tritium vial into the designated slots on your Q1 V2. Ensure the vial is fully seated and sits flush with the surface. Do not force it; if resistance is felt, check for debris or misalignment. A properly seated vial should not protrude or wobble.
  4. Secure the vials: If your Q1 V2 uses a retaining mechanism (such as screws or a cover), follow the manufacturer's instructions to secure the vials. Tighten gently to avoid cracking the glass. Over-tightening can break vials; snug is sufficient.
  5. Final check: After installation, verify that all vials are secure and that the Q1 V2 functions normally. Check that no vial is cracked or damaged. Dispose of any broken vials according to local regulations. Test the glow in a dark area to confirm all vials are active.
