I was pretty stoked to see the warehouse is in NJ. I was expecting delivery by Thursday. But suddenly tracking updated & it’s going to be today instead. 
Ordered 4 tonight in CW.
Deal still on.
Received second light today.
I have seen the offer and ignored it as the lumen was low. After seeing multiple message on this thread, I give it a try. This light changed my opinion about lumen.
My third keychain order is Wuben K349 in Amazon for $8.53 including tax in CA. It comes with 14500 battery.
Bad:
- XPG2 (NW) is hideous
- Clip impossibly tight to get on
- Emitter not centered
- Sharp edges on the tail
- Threads are loud/dry
Good:
- Short for AAA reflector
- Cheap
- Not glued
- Comes with split ring
- Drop ships from Amazon stock
Neutral:
- L-M-H-L-M-H-Strobe
- AR coated lens (probably bad tbh)
- The middle mode might be regulated (good if true), high definitely isn’t
Any light I’ll be carrying around or at least using fairly regularly, I’ll scrub the threads clean (remove O-rings, too), all the way with solvent, just to get out any grit, then slather on some fresh lube.
Lights that are nicely lubricated right out of the box might even have nicely lubed grit suspended in the lube.
And at least strobe is nicely hidden away. Really gotta be determined to get to it. 
Strobe can be useful. If you’re at an event with friends & get separated, turn on strobe and point slightly upward to avoid flashing in people’s eyes. Friends who are looking will easily spot you. I’ve done this a number of times.
Thanks again for your feedback on the CW vs. NW. I went with CW (got 2) and the tint is quite decent. Feels like it’s on the warmer side of cool (if that makes any sense). The machining and anodizing of the comparative Jetbeam Jet-U is better, but for about half price, you can’t beat the Ti3 V2.
The NW looked bad on a white wall and the CW was much better. THEN I walked outside… the NW made nature look much better and the tree trunks were easier to ID. So, it depends upon where you (or those you give it to) live and will use it. City, go CW… Country, NW gets my vote. Nice little light.
Curious if you order multiples, is postage charged (and delivered ) individually?
Tried ordering one of each in one order. No go on that.
Perhaps I answered my own question?
Gotta get a NW, for comparison.
The Jetbeam Jet-U has a much nicer beam, as well, because of the TIR; a very nice evenly lit circle.
You can order multiples, at least I did. But you still pay shipping for each even though they come in a single package.
Forget the word “free”. Think of it as, “6bux each delivered to your door in like 2-3 days”.
Definitely agree. The TIR does a wonderful job of homogenizing the beam. Range would be a little shorter, but for a personal mini EDC, throw isn’t the objective. The Jet-U has a wonderfully small profile. And the very dark brown anodizing is terrific.

The original Thrunite Ti was what got me introduced to modern flashlights and BLF as well. I think they were offering it for $5 that time. Ordered one CW with absolutely no need of a new light!
Just got the light in CW. It’s good, and I appreciate different levels on a small light.
There are really sharp corners on the feature used to hold the keychain ring. I think that may get to be a problem. It’d be uncomfortable in the pocket. It’s actually so sharp it’s uncomfortable on the hand.
Unno, maybe without the keyring in there it’d end up poking you in all the wrong places, but with a ring in there, I don’t think anything would get close enough to the pointy part, would it?
If you carry it in your pocket with other things, you know the anodizing will wear. Might as well file that area down (round the edges) to your liking. It will feel better now and then the rest of the light will catch up later :FACEPALM: .
Just got my NW example today. Ordered 3 more because I really like it. Was going to say that I really like the improvement with the V2 CW over my Ti3 CW from 2016. It is noticeably brighter and all modes are just a tad more useful. The moonlight might be just a tad too bright but it is still very nice. The CW is fine and I think the beam pattern is excellent for what it is. Nice large soft bright spot and good spill. Decent tint that is not too cool. However, I really like the NW better. Pretty much a taste thing I guess.
If I wore a baseball cap regularly I don’t think I would ever go back to a headlamp for dog walking. This light clipped on to a cap is a fantastic headlamp! Of course it can be easy to twist the clip off when changing modes. Managed to drop it onto concrete a time or two until I remembered that. Doing the Lightbringer trick of cleaning and fresh lube helps.
So far all of my V2s have no memory or perhaps a 2.5 second memory. My V1 works like the chart on the store page. Off for less than 2 seconds advance to next mode. Off 2 to 10 seconds memory. Off more than 10 seconds back to low. With the V2 if the light is on for more than 2 or 3 seconds, off goes back to Low. There is no memory. I am fine with this. I like the way V1 works better but over all the V2 is just a better light and I can live with this because it is consistent and works well for this kind of light. Also, there seems to be less inadvertent advancement to the next mode which used to drive me nuts with the V1.
FWIW, earlier today I went to get more of the NW and they were sold out. Said try again tomorrow so I tried just a bit ago and it worked.

So after I posted the picture I put the ring on it to see if it solves the issue as you suggested. Not really. The ring only covers one side of the L. The non-chamfered edges of that L is really sharp.
This is the first light I’ve noticed sharp edges on.
for the money invested just break out a file and knock down the sharp edges .Finish up with some fine grit sandpaper and then buff it to a shine .
Or you could add a trit to the hole . glue it in and add a magnet that covered the tail.
I'm not a huge fan of sharp edges either but these didn't seem to be jumping out at me like sharp ends of a clicky .Could be the fact I'm messing more with the head on a twisty than the tail.
Got my 5 CW models in 2 days I started going thru them to see if somehow I'd won the tint lottery but after three realized it was probably more about the anti reflective lens coating than actual tint. So I decided to add some 1/8th minus green lee filter which immediately made the tint go from ehhh/ meh... to much better . A quick 2 minute mod that made these lights much nicer.
When deciding which tint to keep or not to keep I realized the differences weren't going to be tint .. rather the moon/ firefly modes . One light had a markedly dimmer low mode ..about half of the other two I was playing with . Now I'll have to go and see if it is the only one or not . Most lows are acceptably low lows at about a half a lumen maybe less ..but one is like half of that .. a true fire fly .
Thrunite in the past is pretty well known for having really good low lows .
tint is good and low is crazy low ... I'm a happy camper
I am amazed at the amount of quality machining delivered at this price. OTOH it is probably a good investment on ThruNite’s part.
Have been carrying one in my pocket for a couple of days now. Didn’t notice. Looked at it again and it is indeed sharp. Looking at my 2016 one it has everything except the trit from said pocket(s)
Thanks for pointing that out! Moonlight is important to me. I will be checking mine as well! On the one hand I don’t know if I can truly discern tint and don’t think it is all that important. On the other I am truly thinking of applying that wisdom to the NW versions because I really want a low moonlight but I like the NW tint. Would have no idea of what was different or how to correct it with film that I don’t have.
