DQG 18650 EDC--World's Smallest 18650 Flashlight

Do want!

hmm, very nice, I will buy one, but why not use the XML2 ??

Protected won’t fit for sure and chinese multimode twisty? Lol.
2 modes would be nice, but just imagine twisting through strobes, sos… no way!

I totally agree there is always an EagleTac with better specs/buildq./warranty/looks (just got the 2013D25ATixpgNW, I love it!), but I am also a huge fan of the beam profile of TIR optics.

I think kreisler wants to tell us that the volume of the eagletac is smaller, wich is obviously true.
Considering that, the DQG should be called the shortest 18650 light, in order to prevent misunderstandings. (what it truely is, as far as I know)
But that said, it would not be hard to also make the smallest volume flashlight if he would want to, just reduce the wall thickness?! Or am I missing something?

Not much thicker. Looks like ~24mm diameter to me.

Gimme two!))

I see your point, but reducing the diameter of the DQG to lets say “26mm head - 24mm body-tube” would not really hurt (I mean 27mm on the body-tube is a lot actually…) and it would indeed has the smallest volume. just saying…
After all its personal taste I think. :wink:

Measuring from the photos, comparing to reference lights / 18650s, I would say: DQG head will be ~24mm, body ~23mm.

@Ric: Would you please confirm?

I took the dimensions from the description, but in the pictures it looks smaller, that’s right. If thats true, it renders all my drivel elaborate thoughts useless :smiley:

What’s wrong with chinese multimode twisties ?

ITP and Olight are chinese multimode Twisties :cowboy_hat_face: and they’re just fine and even the modes are the same.

low - mid - high, no strobe or blinky

The BLF EDC Edition?

Thought my UF 2100’s were pretty tight.
Can’t wait to get a couple for the road bike.

Stainless steel twisty - not for me. My DQG lll AAA left my keyring about 2 weeks after starting service. Can’t use it single handed easily.

TIR lens. But a floody or thrower type?

yes please, with xml2/xpg2, 3C-tint

Looks super sweet, Ric! Anyidea on what the price will be yet?

Looks great. The head looks slimmer than 29mm though, the SC600 is only 30mm.

The styling is about perfect, natural anodizing, stainless bezel. It just looks right somehow.

Agreed 100%! Every aspect of it looks just perfect. This little beauty is a must have and gets my nomination for hottest looking new light in the past year.
