I’ve been reading your forum for a week trying to decide what to buy. Took me several tries to set up an account, because I never got the temporary emails. Changed to a gmail address and it went through. No way to contact admin lol.
I bought the TN35 through Thrunite Direct on Amazon, because of the warranty and quality I read in reviews. I like a wide flood beam, but also want distance. I liked this light for lighting up the area, but wish it had a tighter center beam at a distance. The runners up were a TK75 or an Acebeam K40M.
because this flashlight has been discontinued for awhile, I’m concerned that the only ones still available are 2nds or returns and I’m hoping you guys can help me decide.
The light came with scratches or light gouges in the tube in several areas where the anodized paint was damaged. Not a big deal to me as long as it doesnt short out…… The lanyard wasnt the right one for the light. Wimpy one for a AA light. Even the video review on Amazon shows the small wrong lanyard.
the outer bezel was not a tight fit. I could stick my finger nail in the areas that were not tight. I was afraid if I dropped it something would break.
The light itself appeared to be good quality, but after buying cheap chinese lights for the past few years and having them crap out with no support, i wanted to buy from a reliable company, which I believe Thrunite is.
sent it back today and want to try to purchase again, but dont want to keep returning it for quality issues. Do you guys think all thats left are inferior ones, or should I try again?
I have been vaping for about 8 yrs and like the 18650 form factor, am very careful with how i use them as Ive had them deal with a shorted atomizer before in mechanical mods and know how quickly things can go bad…… have a good NiteCore digital charger, have Pan NCR protected batteries on their way from imrbatteries.com. 3x 18650s are not that heavy and the light feels well balanced in my hand.
Having read that there are QC problems with TN, should i try again?
ty so much for your input and advice
