When?

How much?

What about a AA version with a clip?

10 second turbo step down? why?

i regularly run my itp a3 eos with a 10440 and it takes at least 45-60 seconds before it gets to the point where its too hot and needs to be turn down.

this is a wonderful looking light – the 10 sec step down is a deal breaker though

That's a nice looking light there.

I bought a AA SS version a few weeks ago, I like it a lot.
Then last week I bought the SS DQG AAA one but I don’t have it yet.
And also the S2 from the group buy.
I plan to buy this AAA titanium version as well.
Looks like I’ll be eating noodles for the next few weeks, thanks Ric

I actually think 10 seconds could be too long. The iTP A3 LED is mounted on a traditional MCPCB, but in the previous DQGs the LED has been mounted directly to the same PCB as the driver circuit to save space, so there is effectively no heatsink at all. This one doesn’t look to be any longer, so I would assume has the same set-up.

Any chances for a run with 219 instead of xp-g ?

actually this is good to know – i stand corrected if this is the case!

Looks great! I must get one..

I can't believe I missed versions V and VI. Need to get those to have the full product line.. WTB, now.

Does it have PWM on low?

Nice that the styling has changed (it has borrowed some elements from the 18650 version), it looks nicer and thougher now I think

Nice titanium! What is the beam profile like?

Also, which size lobster claw does it come with? Is it darker than these titanium you sell?
Mini
Medium

i’ll take one for 25$ groub buy.

Everyone is going to read “VII” as 6.
Try ver.II , v.II or at least vII

VII is 7 (not 6)

Perhaps V2.0 or something similar might be less confusing.

But either way it doesn’t bother me.

ric – any chance of a group buy on this one?

i bet we could get 20 people if the price is right and a clip was included

10440’s – do any reputable brand manufacture these? Can only find crapfire ones on eBay.
Also – does the i4 charge these okay if you charge 1 and 3 or 2 and 4? The i4 is compatible but I’m concerned about the current going into such a small cell.

Edit: what does this mean from OP – —Runtime: 90 mins on hi; 35 hrs on lo, with quality AAA/14500?

Edit2: 10 second step down, baaaah

Sadly there are not a ton of choices when it comes to 10440, I have been using the grey Trustfire protected cells which have been good to me so far but my light doesn’t stress them too much.

I have been charging them in my i4 with no problems. I always charge them with another LARGER battery and here’s why: I want to ensure that the 10440 finishes charging hidden BEFORE the other battery on the same channel. That way it never receives full charging current. If you charge two 10440 side by side unless you are extraordinarily lucky one will finish charging before the other and one cell will receive a 700+mA charge for the remainder . which is too much.

Like RMM said there is not much choice. I am very fond of my Efest 10440 IMR batteries, and being IMR they can handle some more charge-abuse as well (I charge them in the i4 parallel to another charging battery). HKJ tested it quite well. They have a buttontop IMR as well (unbranded red colour), but I don't know how good they are.

HOLY COW! its $55

i guess titanium is expensive

going to wait for a review before i take this plunge

Man I am really on the fence about this or the SS version. Really would like a small aaa light for the keychain.

I’ve asked Ric but he hasn’t gotten back to me. I don’t think I’d be comfortable with using an unprotected cell, so does anyone know about using protected 10440s in this light? I’m concerned there could be an issue with the extra length that the protection board adds or the flat + terminal that they all seem to have. If protected cells don’t work, what about using a LiFePO4 cell instead since they seem to be safe enough to run without protection?
