Review: Trustfire Mini-01

[Tecmo]

It fell in the car. Little thing was hard to find! I put a ring off an old micro mag on it. Hopfully it holds up better.

Ok, that’s not too bad then. The mag key ring will hopefully last better.

As for charge current for the Yezl cells, i’m not sure to be honest. I would think they are like most other 16340 cells. I saw mention of 16340 charge current in a HKJ review where he described 600mA current being just within range for a 16340, and the IMR 16340’s can be charged with upto 1.5A.

For Yezl cells, actual test figure is 704mAh

Sorry, i wrote that wrong. I meant 600mA charge current, not mAh :zipper_mouth_face:

so far, ive only tried the white trustfire cells that came with it, some blue ultrafire cells, and the extream beam cells.

i will google aw imr but i just didnt wanna buy from a seller that sells fake ones. so i was just seeing if someone can recommend me a good seller.

not sure if this has been posted, but i found a way to get momentary for the mini.
just turn on the mini, and back turn it off ever so lightly…just a 1/8 turn or so.
now when you press the tail cap, it should have a momentary switch. i found this to be a neat lil feature now. so if i needed light just for a quick second, instead of having to twist to turn on, i can push the tail cap in.

I think Oveready sell the AW IMR’s, or there is a sales thread on Cpf.

The momentary sounds interesting, I’ll have a go later.

Cheers

I love my mini-01, and hence try not to use it too much in case it stuffs up (despite a spare on the way). I am a big fan of momentary tho (wish more lights had em), nice find!

I know what you mean, but maybe once the 2nd one arrives it will be easier to use

someone needs to get one of these on video outside on utube… iv only done a vid of my m3x triton in the fog for a laugh.

[JaffoAZ]

I might could try to get some video on my phone tonight. This mini is shocking when I show and friend and turn it on outside and fully flood up a huge tree and the entire surroundings 30 meters away. Especially if I hide the mini behind my thumb and they can’t see that I’m holding anything.
