Well, you are wrong my friend. G5's X nock is made by Firenock international (in Hong Kong/China) for G5 base on Firenock LLC's lightning Nock spec with Firenock 2009's Blue LED and Blue Firenock "A" nock. As for the "S" nock, it is a non-license copy of Firenock's "S" nock. If you looked at cabala's catalog, you would know it is a last minute change for their original design. The new one uses Firenock's clip and lock design, and our transverse wall LED hugging design. We shall see what happen after our patent is published.
The Lightning nock "A" is still a very solid design, but we at Firenock believe that Axis arrow user wanted the best, that is why we offer "A" size lighted nock in Firenock brands only. Those USA made 24K gold connector, USA made motorola chip sets, USA made acceleration have performance that speak for itself. For those who wanted the best, Firenock GA it is! 10,000,00 mean time between failure switch is not going to come cheap. That is also why we do not offer any warranty for our Lightning nock brand lighted nock as it used the chinese acceleration switch (Firenock LLC only offer Lightning Nock in size "S" and it retail for $12.95 each!
A side note. Firenock "A" size is extremely tight as the axis arrow is only 0.202 to 0.204" so make sure you put some bow wax on the nock neck before you insert it into the arrow. Without that water seal, when moisture gets into the nock, the connector side may contact with the side wall and cause short circuit which will drain out the battery. With over a few hours soak in water, the electronic system will be damaged. When moisture is an issue; pull out the nock, remove the battery and let it air dry; it will work as before.
If you insist on a blue nock/Blue LED on a "A" size nock as of now and want to save $2.00 each, I guess you need to get the G5 X.

Thanks Firenock. I want the standard and not the lightening I believe, so if I read correctly, I really don't want the G5 if I want the "real thing". Is this correct? Also, I shoot Super Carbon arrows (no longer made) and they are not listed on your site, but I think I would need the GS nock.?.? I don't really care what color they are; red works just fine for me.

G5 make and design/copy their own "S" model nock. From the limited research I have, they are about 10 grains heavier and 1 out of 4 is not working well. Please confirm with others on reliability for I do not believe I have enough data to absolutely confirm the ratio of failure. But I know that so far at this point, this year we at Firenock have 48 nocks that send back and 21 of them is user error!! 25 is abuse! and 2 is manufacturing error. I take QC very serious, that 100% QC is no joke. And with close to 21,000 nocks sold, that is not a bad ratio. I do however give everyone a new nock as they are within 30 day NO QUESTION ASKED warranty. After 30 days, one can always use our refresh policy.
As for your question on which nock, as long as it fit any nock like the Gold tip, easton super nock, or bohning nock. Firenock GS will fit it.

So I'm not "wrong"...my friend...
"G5 make and design/copy their own "S" model nock."
The "S" nock by G5 is made by G5..you are claiming that it is a copyright infringement...

Wow, I am truly impressed by the firenocks, I finally got off my pessemistic butt and called Dorge and placed my order, shipping was fast, and the packaging was very proffesional, the nocks were so easy to assemble a caveman could do it,lol,lol.... and they work!!.. every time too!! they are very bright, and even a miss in bright sunlight couldn't couldn't dull them, I was asked numerous times what brand they were and some came from 2 targets over to view them up close, Dorge ,Thank You for making a product that lives up to the hype, and works as good, if not better, than promised.......... they are worth every cent!.....I've tried the rest, but these are the best.....no question about it!

Try this out.
Enter any two of the following values and hit the Calculate
button. Try different values and see what lighter, faster
arrows do to kinetic energy. .
