My issue is with the Wurkkos site selling a TS10 with battery for more than the cost of 2pieces of TS10.
If the ‘overpriced Lumintop’ as you call it only asks for USD4 for a 14500 battery, why does the additional battery for a TS10 cost more than a TS10 flashlight itself?
Thanks! That’s indeed helpful — that explains turnaround time between ordering and receiving my order and maybe why the flashlights stay in export customs for 48hrs+.
For all I know, the origin of the TS10 is deeper in China so transporting the torch with Li battery might cost them more……
Nah, infrastructure is very good in China and there is virtually no difference shipping costs from any Chinese city.
I misunderstood you earlier… the TS10 with battery cost does seem high. Wurkkos can check out if there is a pricing mistake since their other flashlights can ship with a battery for a small marginal increase in costs. It’s true that adding an EXTRA batteries beyond the number of flashlights you order will greatly increase costs.
Loving the matching paracord you have on your TS10 with orange aux!! I think I’ll be receiving the same color mid-August. Looking forward to getting matching colored accessories for it.
yes,
it helps to warm up the host, to soften the blue loctite
(there was a lot, not shown in photo after cleaning)…

there is no retaining ring, the switch parts just fall out, so it is a good idea to keep the tailcap glued on.
there is an additional O ring to support the signal tube, in a groove inside the body tube. This is an upgrade over the FWAA, that lacks a second O ring for the inner tube.
TS10 has slightly less switch parts than the FWAA, I prefer the feel of the TS10 switch, and it has better resistance to false activation:
Switch pressures:
stock FWAA 10 ounces
stock TS10 24 ounces
FWAA w O ring mod 28 ounces
the other difference between FWAA and TS10, is no lens over the optic in the TS10, which contributes to making the TS10 shorter than the FWAA.
Thanks, I’ll try with some heat (actually for the front I simply turboed it beforehand).
I guess I’m a bit weird because I want to use a lower force switch, I find the FWAA switch to have a perfect feel (granted it can accidentally activate more easily).
For those that have flashing kits for this (or are interested), I noticed this morning that AVRDUDE recently added support. So you can bypass all the Python/pymcuprog rigmarole if you want and just use our tried-and-true AVRDUDE: Adventures in TinyAVR 1-Series - #294 by gchart
