Very different. The Yujis at 25mA are great for navigating around the house at night, in my opinion. It’s bright enough to use at close ranges without dark adapted eyes, but not so bright as to be obnoxious if you have dark adapted eyes, especially the 3200K version. The floody beam extends into your peripheral vision, so you can have good awareness of what’s around you. That means necessarily that it doesn’t throw like the E01.
Outdoors, I think it’s reasonable for walking with dark adapted eyes, but you won’t be seeing very many paces ahead with it. It should be great around the campsite, but if you were using it as a backup on the trail, you’d want to walk slowly.
Your mileage may vary, of course. There is a lot of variation in what light level is comfortable to different people.
I think it’s harder and lighter but not very good with heat dissipating. won’t be an issue with the C01. But I don’t have money to spend on Ti. Never own one, doubt I ever will.
For titanium, there is the existing option of the McGizmo Sapphire, for the classiest of users.
Granted, the Sapphire driver is the same as the Arc driver, which as I understand it, doesn’t perform quite as well as the E01 driver, and the price is well beyond what I’d expect users to pay for a Sofirn twisty.
But it’s a really nice looking titanium AAA twisty, available with a Yuji, driven at 25mA.
Or if you want a titanium AAA that can tail stand and has a trit slot, maybe enough interest could get Mako to restart a limited run of his AAA, which even has two modes (low and lower).
Got my C01 today. I am really impressed with the overall fit, finish, and ergos of a superbly crafted torch. Kudos to all who made it possible. The tensile springing of the clip is perfect. Didn’t break when flexing and I mean I put the GORILLA twistin’ to it.
I think so too. Makes me want to spark up a fat one and mellow out to some Hendrix and Zeppelin. My 3200’s should land in tomorrows mail. They are a day late based on USPS tracking.
