I think the worm has been discontinued, but replaced. What is th replacement?
Thanks, Jerry
Hi Jerry!
The replacement is the EDC01!
Some time ago I made a thread to discuss it, maybe you can take a look at it: Lumintop EDC 01 - AAA flashlight !
Hi MascaratumB,
I thought I remembered that, but could not fnd it.
Thanks,
Jerry
I have a used copper worm w Nichia available, PM me if interested
you can also consider the Prometheus Beta, it is based on the Worm, but there are some differences, I can go into more details if you have questions after looking at their site
Thanks, Jon. They are too expensive for me. I normally dont,t buy lights over $15, and prefer$10.
Jerry
yes, I understand, this is BLF after all
I did see this link for a copper worm, just fwiw, I have not tried it, or confirmed if they offer Nichia
https://www.amazon.com/Bazaar-Lumintop-Wateproof-Keychain-Flashlight/dp/B01MYQ3Y67/ref=olp_product_details?\_encoding=UTF8&me=
I have not heard of any 10 dollar Worms, I only know about fancy copper ones with Nichias.
I hope you find something that makes you smile… maybe check out the Sofirn AAA w Yuji
I appreciate your help, Jon.
I have had a Thrunite Ti 3 for years, but did not use it for whatever reason. I dug it out while checking some runtimes. They are not realy all that important to me now as I cannot hike or walk much. However, as might be expected on Hi it lasted about 1 hr with Eneloop. But in the medium mode it lasted 8 hrs-17 min with an eneloop. I realize that is due to a lesser output tham many others at 14 lm (I think) but that is enough light to see well in the dark. Most other similar lights lasted 3-4 hours. If I were hiking or camping that would be an advantage.

I also have a Ti3, it has one of the lowest firefly levels of any of my lights. I seldom use it. The medium runtime you got sounds excellent, I think it is about 12 lumens, and agree that is useful in the dark. I dont know if I would get 1 hour on Hi, but that is not a mode I use much, as Im usually indoors and do do much hiking or camping lately.
I have a very nice assortment of AAA lights with a range of Nichia LED CCT mods.
My latest interest is the Aspheric lens, I started with several Utorch S1 Mini, they are on sale btw. Next Im expecting a Klarus Mi1C, also aspheric. Im hoping for a longer runtime on Medium than the Utorch.
maybe you have seen some of my photos, heres a pretty one
enjoy your lights!
ps, did you see this $10 option:
It does not show on that page. Actually I like the Nitefox K3. It is $9.90. 
you probably would have to log in to Massdrop to see the link I gave you… in any case, this is the pic the link goes to:
wow! that Nitefox K3 looks similar to a Maratac and a Thrunite, it even has a diffuser, HatLamp Clip and keyring clip… nice find!
the mode levels, clip, and keyring of the K3:
are very similar to the Thrunite Ti3
thrunite clip:
Myguess is the Nitefox is a relabeled Thrunite, for $5 lower price.
The K3 has been on my pocket since I got it 
Made a review of it and on the top you find links for other BLF reviews!
Nice little light
BTW, K3 lowest level is not 0.1 lumen! It is quite above of the 0.5 from the Olight S1R and the 0.2 of the Sofirn SP10B
Here: “REVIEW”: NITEFOX K3 – AAA Keychain flashlight - #9 by MascaratumB
thanks, I read your review also
I always appreciate your contributions
Oh, ok jon I just went back to see what I had posted and noticed that there was that pic there! But, I wanted to clarify, despite I have no objective way to measure them
Your contributions are highly appreciated as well my friend
I’ve ordered from bazaar recently and although they advertise copper they send stainless, I sent it back and asked them to check their stock, they said they had it and sent another stainless. After sending them a picture of a real copper flashlight for comparison and asking them for a picture of the actual product they would send they admitted they were out of stock and would take down the amazon item - 2 months ago. A lot of hassle but I got a refund and wound up with a free stainless worm.
thanks for sharing info that Copper Worm is not available
congrats on your stainless one 
what about this one ?
Has some nice features
fwiw, the copper AAA Pineapple uses a 219c they are brighter and greener than 219b… My snobby self much prefers the 219b…
a bit more info:
[QUOTE=jon_slider;5117221]Looks to me like a slightly modified Lumintop Worm host, with a new driver and LED. I expect it has PWM like the brass Tool
it will make people that like the thrunite Ti3 line, because of the firefly being so dim, and because it comes first. For my preferences the low is too low, and I would not be happy having to twist twice to get past it for most uses. Im just not an LMH fan
I don’t get the point of LiIon in AAA size, it gives just 10 minute runtimes on high…
So far all the Pineapples have had PWM, so, I have no plans to be an early adopter of a light that won’t ship til October, but thanks for pointing me to some pretty copper bodies…
heres the brass AA one too:

plus a review:
I was gonna say that they both remind me of the Glaree E03
https://www.amazon.com/GLAREE-E03-Keychain-Flashlight-Emergency/dp/B075ZTG46N
which were on sale a ways back and I kinda stocked up.
They make great zipper-pulls.
yup, seems to share Thrunite DNA w firefly mode first
Lumintop Worms are MLH, which I find much more practical
