DQG 18650 EDC--World's Smallest 18650 Flashlight

I’m only gonna say this once, “EDC” and twisty does not compute. An EDC has to be small with a clip (got those right) and needs a clicky. A forward clicky with only one or two modes is all that is needed. A multi-mode twisty is useless in an EDC. Some will disagree but the majority of average users have already decided this issue.

I don’t understand why there are so many lights that have twistys and blinky modes when nobody wants them. All the big sellers today have clicky switches with the exception of the Mini-Mag which is mostly popular based on name and past glory. Everyone I know would prefer a clicky to a twisty and I have NEVER met ANYONE who wanted a strobe or SOS mode on their EDC.

4500K/3D for the neutral, 6500K/1D for the cool white.

That's great news! Are you willing to announce the price yet?

[quote=Ric-CN] DQG 18650 consider using the NEWEST XM-L2 CW / NW emitter. We would like to know your thought about the color temperature.
1: CW (7000K-7500K) or (6500K-7000K) Or (6000K-6500K)
2: NW (5000K-5500K) or (4500K-5000k) Or (4000K-4500K) [/quote]

NW 4500-5000K would be my preference. I don't care about CW, but lowest (6000K) would look best. ;)


I like twisties. I have the DQG AA with two modes. And the Sunwayman V10A. If I liked the look and feel of the M10/M11 more, I would get that because it doesnt have a clicky.

Double Ditto…

it’s the beauty of simplicity. Properly maintained threads will outlast a mechanical switch; and I believe they can deal with higher amperages (<3A) better than most stock or cheapo switches, too.

Put me down for a CW version, pending non-ridiculous price point

I would think it would have to be at least 1/2” longer to have a clicky. I also prefer a clicky but still want one of these if the price is reasonable

XM-L2 T6 3C (5000K) please.

+1, my top pick right there.

+2, I really don’t mind to pick one up

My main EDC is on my keychain, which means it has to be a twisty, or a very hard-to-press clicky. I’ll never use a clip.

Like someone else said, the DQG AA is a great little EDC and it’s a twisty.

Interesting light, but considering my experience with DQG low quality I will pay $30 max.

4500k is my vote

$30 is the most im willing to pay

eagerly awaiting more info……

I’d like NW - as warm as possible, 4000k would be great.

CW is fine for throwers, but I need NW or warm color rendering for flooders & close useage.

Very nice looking flashlight. $30 or less sounds about right.

4000~ 4500

This torch ever going to be released? Is RIC ever going to give us more info on it???
