JFYI, the gray protected TF 10440s DX sells fit fine. :)
fit fine??
where, the iTP A3 (my quote) or the Tank007 E09?
i am really very confused
Oh, sorry about that. My bad.
I was talking about the E09. I don't have my A3 yet.
So the general consensus is that the 703 is brighter/better than the E09?
I thought the E09 was an R5 though, while the 703 is a Q3. It seems their both the same price on DD right now, so which one should I get?

Very good to know. Tomorrow i'll grab my A3 from the post office. My unprotected 10440's are still in transit, ordered from DX (for my A3). But i might well order some Protected 10440's for the E09. Thanks for the info.
The E09 is one of the few AAA-sized lights which officially support Protected 10440's!

Though i dont know the E09 nor the 703, today i decided for the E09. Because:
1. it's a new model with a new circuit board. current regulated, no PWM.
2. it is a VERY short model (and light-weight of course)
3. it's overall much smaller than the 703
4. i cant enjoy the optical esthetic design of the 703. my bad.
5. has three modes (the 703 has 1 mode only!!)
6. has nicer tint (from what i know)
7. the 701, 702, 703 are not represented on the Tank007 website!
Easy decision. If a Tank007, then the new E09. 10.99$ .. nice price!!
sorry for spamming this thread haha.
anyway.
standard EU price for the E09 seems to be EUR16.95 (+ €5.00 shipping):

That's ~22US$ (+ $6.49 shipping). Crazy!!!!!!!!!!!

10.99$ what a nice price!!!
Selina from Tank007 company has come up with the following information:
The diffuser for the E09 is indeed the old 15mm white diffuser tip:
http://www.tank007store.com/products/TANK007-1575--Diffuser.html
The E09 product release was launched at the end of September 2011.
I am sure that it will be a best-selling item for the Tank007 company!
Was able to cancel the Manafont §$%&!, and have now ordered the correct original diffuser:
the above figures include the coupon code fonarevka. i'll keep you posted (pre-ship photo, arrival, test, etc.).
Okay, I ordered it for free! Had a $9 GC and enough dinopoints plus the coupon code to get it free.

Okay, I ordered it
Congrats to everyone who ordered this little baby! Cant wait to get my hands dirty on it. Today i got my iTP A3 Titanium and i like it already!

BTW - The emitter is not an XPG R5. Its an XPE
It's an R2 according to Tank007, so dunno where Manafont got the R5 from...
lightening things up (i.e. in practical usage), my Lumintop Worm (XP-E R3 emitter, white tint) looks brighter ("more impressive") than the iTP A3 Ti (XP-G R5 emitter, greenish/blueish tint depending on the mode), so i dont mind at all if the Tank007 E05 is equipped with a white XP-E emitter, yay!
Does Dinodirect ship the Tank E09 from their USA warehouse?
US warehouse?
