DQG 18650 EDC--World's Smallest 18650 Flashlight

Nice, I like the black one better and that is what I ordered .

The grey one in this picture actually looks sand-colour, unlike in the original pictures. Is the colour really different or is it just the picture?

It’s a bit different with the original sample. Looks more beautiful outdoor. :slight_smile:

Wow, there are even more pics at the sales site now : http://www.fancyflashlights.com/goods.php?id=632

Phew…glad I ordered the black version…that ‘titanium’ color has a little too much gold in it.

Me too, I like the black. The titanium is more titanium oxide colour, like a tiny SRK almost. I’m happy that I ordered black. Others will be happy they ordered titanium.

I ordered titanium and don’t mind the color, there are too many black lights in my stash so this will help break up the collection a bit.

I am just worried about the annodizing being off between the head and body.

Titanium with NW
Black with CW

Hi,

Darn! I just did the same thing. Couldn’t make up my mind after seeing the side-by-side pic :(…

They’re BOTH very nice. I like the contrast between the clip and the body with the black one, but I also like having some lights that are not “just” black…

Just ordered the Khaki one…

Both colors are nice!

I’m still searching for the info which specifies the material the lens is made of … is that anti-reflective glass or some sort of scratch-resistant plastic?

I would be surprised if it is glass (haven't seen many of them around), and plastic TIR's are really alright with me: they do not break on impact and are optically just as clear as glass. It just scratches over time, but that is ok with the normal wear and tear of a light, it does not affect the output a lot. The only risk is that it melts when overheated, so I will not mod this light with a monster driver.

The first post in this thread states:
“Reflector: Glass optics lens”

It looks like a normal plastic TIR lens in the photo.

$35 is out of the range I'm willing to pay for this light. Oh well

Thanks buddy! How long is the promotion good for? oh I see, 8 days

I hear ya man. I'm not wild about twisty's myself. I think I'll pass

Arent Eagletacs UIs also based on twisting? :P

Its really simple.. only magnetic control rings are more simple.

I don’t think I will. Of course a clicky is preferable in many ways but it takes up space. The whole point of this light is to be as small as possible, hardly bigger than the 18650 itself, if you add a clicky then you sort of defeat the object.

Simple, but friggin annoying if you want high and have to one handed scroll through the modes you don’t want. I actually don’t mind twisty UI’s, but why no mode memory? Is there a single negative to having mode memory?
