The TF primaries suck. Not much capacity. Certainly need some 16340 to make it really shine anyways.
I have good results with TF flames fromDX, but you have to wait forever to get them.
Pick-up a pair of Yetzl 3.7v 16340 batteries from here: 2x Yezl top quality16340 / CR123a rechargeable 3.7v protected batteries +case | eBay
Much better than the TF flames…
UK to Canada >> 10 days to my door
just recieved mine this weekend…… very nice little light 
got a 600mah xtar 16340 in it at the minute…. may try an unprotected in it when i get round to buying one
Is it a bright hand warmer?
yep… gets nice and hot after a minute or two…… took dog out to a mates and took it with me and got the response “what the hell is that” when i turned it on in his back yard lol
I get that response all the time….last one was…“I can’t believe that little thing gives off so much light” :bigsmile:
:bigsmile: 
Yeah, it really does hold its own against even bigger more expensive lights. Throw could be better, but its sheer output helps it throw far enough for most purposes.
Cheers

I also like the low mode on this light……you can keep it there for quite some time without it burning up and the light output is pretty good.
Yeah the low is good. I think a different driver that could do just Low first, then High would be good too for a general edc.
My AW IMR 16340’s just arrived for the Mini-01 :bigsmile: On charge at the moment. I’ll post again once ive tested them.
I just tested the IMR 16340’s.
I measured a peak of 3.07A which then settled to 2.8A on high :bigsmile:
Mine arrived today to the land of the long white cloud.
Must say even running old grey TF’s it was pretty cool.
Then I put in the yezl’s, it was no longer cool, rather warm actually.
This has to be the best value/light output EDC so far.
Even put a diffuser on it on low and it should provide about 3 hours of bivy illumination when in the bush, while providing a very minimal weight penalty.
Happy days!
II’z
Sounds like your enjoying it anyway :bigsmile:
The last weeks I thought of buying this light or not, but now I pulled the trigger 
I’m really curious how it will perform, but I think the 16340 Yezl’s I bought should do the job!
Great :bigsmile: Let us know what you think when it arrives. The Yezl’s are very good in this light. Very bright, and good run times also considering the output.
I will try mine outside tonight with the IMR 16340 and post my findings compared to the Yezl cell.
Cheers
Matt
i pulled the trigger as well. where are you guys purchasing these yezl cells from?
i have some eXtreambeam 16340’s….anyone ever heard of these?
Forum member ‘Torchythebatteryboy’ sells the Yezl’s through ebay here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Yezl-top-quality16340-CR123a-rechargeable-3-7v-protected-batteries-case-/290757867215?pt=UK_ConsumerElectronics_Batteries_SM&hash=item43b284f6cf#ht_3378wt_1271
Been waiting for almost a month and mine hasn’t arrived yet. The long wait is killing me. :weary:
You should probably have it soon then
Yeah, you’re still better off than I am, gloomy. Mine arrived a week ago but they sent me a cell phone battery instead of the mini-01! After an angry email they resent the correct item and I have to wait another 3-4 weeks for my mini. Argh!!!
