OT: 18650 flashlight

[towelie]

Here's one that screws into the 510 on your mod, says its a Cree. $6.87 510 Cree XP-E R2 5-Mode 280-Lumen Pure White LED Flashlight - works w/ 510 e-cigarette batteries at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I still prefer my Malkoff though

Gene and Cathy Malkoff are some of the nicest people you could ever deal with. Gene builds one of the most reliable, bombproof lights on the market.

I finally broke down and picked up a Thrunite TN12 (2014). Excellent recommendation FB

This is a awesome flashlight and now I can make use of my older 18650's. I sure wish I would have had this all hunting season.

Hi all
I got 2 of the trustfire flashlights that were originally mentioned in this thread for Christmas. Man, these are great! Now I have a use for all of my non vapeable 18650's! I cant throw anything out that still works, but I really wouldn't want to subject an AW 2000 from May 2013 to a .4 ohm build!

Thanks for the recommendation! If you are thinking of getting one, I highly recommend it!

Thanks to this thread I just ordered a TN12-2014. Love being able to use my 18650's for multi-purpose. Thanks for the great idea!

With your screen name, I thought you would've gotten an EagleTac. I have 3 and love them.

Got a Xtar B20 Pilot for Christmas. Have not really put it to use but it throws a surprising beam of light on Turbo mode.

I got a Thrunite TN12 (2014) for Christmas. Man this thing is awesome, throws some serious light. Always have charged 18650 batteries with me, so now I will always have a flashlight that will have fresh batteries.

Love your avatar Redfishin. Been a while since I've seen one. Used to fish East Matagorda.

Two thing I love about the TN-12 (2014) true low light mode, produce just enough light to see when I wake-up in the middle of the night without blinding me or waking the wife. Also tail stands so I can use it to light up a room by setting it on a table aimed at the ceiling, when we lose power.

I hear ya sir! I got a birthday surprise from my sweetie. The new Christmas edition Ti 162 lm. She said since I keep giving away my Ti3's and Christmas is my birthday I was worth the extra $10. I disagree but I will not be giving this one away. Enjoy the day!

Thanks, I love stalking them in the shallow flats. I used to fish mainly around Freeport, lived in Houston, but just got transferred and now I have all the bays around the Rockport, Port Aransas, Corpus area to fish.

As far as I'm concerned you have died and gone to heaven!!

Thanks, I can't complain about where I live now. When they came to me and said we want you to transfer to the Corpus area, I was like, do I leave tomorrow?

Anyone bought a new light lately?

 

[Roccov]

I'm on the fence about getting one of the new soda can flame throwers from Thrunite. Might make an interesting night at the campsite or on the boat. Any input to push me one way or the other? Enjoy the day!

I don't have that particular model but do have some similar to it. I have the Niwalker MM15, Zebralight S6330, and a Supbeam X40. The MM15 puts out a massive amount of flood light with decent throw and a really nice tint. The S6330 is the most compact but discontinued and hard to find. The X40 is a bit larger in size, has a variable control ring you turn to adjust the output, integrated charging system, and nice flood beam with impressive throw. Not a light you'll use all the time but nice to have when you want to bring daylight to dark.

you guys may not know this,
but the flashlight community thanks us vapers for the popularity for 18650 batteries, and the many
chioces of MAH and amps they are making for these batteries.

many flashlights from asia are using 18650's, and for super high power many have 2,3 and 4 batteries to make
enough power for way over a 1000 lumens.

yet, most USA high end companies and custom builders feel that two CR123's or 2 RCR123's are the best choice.

the flashlight industry is on fire very much like how the E-Cig and Vaping are going.

both world's are very exciting ....
