Not too enthousiastic about the looks of the ToolTi with brass piece either, the original looks better, more hard-core titanium or however you would say that. I do agree with the decision to use brass instead of copper, brass is stronger, it makes for a structurally more robust flashlight, and the thermal conductivity is plenty.
I have always had good experiences using C14500 Tellurium Copper. It machines fairly easy without gummimg up like pure copper.
It’s harder than pure copper, I think its close to brass. Depends on the alloy of brass I guess.
It machines similar to soft aluminum to me and still has good thermal conductivity. It’s still a soft metal though, just better than pure copper.
Gentlemen. Maybe I am wrong. And I repeat the wrong message. In that case I apologize.
AFAIK there IS NO word for brass in Chinese. At the most it is called yellow copper
And why stating the obvious if everyone can see on the picture that it is yellow.
So what you know to be brass is most of the time just called copper.
Maybe one of you may feel the urge to add a new word to the Chinese language. Be my guest.
And while you’re at it, do bring them on speed regarding beads, bulbs and files. Have fun.
To the Chinese, as the Dutch, brass is yellow Copper, and copper is Red Copper, but I agree Chinese flashlights often dont specify, and just say “copper” for brass.
So they do know the difference but are calling the New Ti with copper, which it isnt.
But when they are making a New AA copper, they make it of real copper, which sounds a little crazy.
