you could start by reading the Quickstart Instructions in the online manual
dont be overwhelmed by all the options you may never need. and dont assume you need to memorize or even read the rest of the manual, unless you want to learn more

I remember watching someone review the Sofirn LT1 and dismissing the entire product because Anduril was too complicated. I commented the usual, the switch makes it go on and off if that’s all you need, and a printout of Anduril can be stored wrapped around the battery holder for the hard of learning. I suggested coloured crayons for the difficult bits 
I think Dennis got on there and tore into him too

The tool analogy is apt. I haven’t seen Anduril on many lights used by people use flashlights for work, it’s mainly on lights owned by people who want to modify and collect them from what I can see. And if the new car owner read the owners manual, followed the directions in the owners manual before selecting the sport mode they’d probably get the car to function in the sport mode. In spite of all the vocal adoration of Anduril here it sure didn’t work like it was supposed to for me after I read and followed the directions that had worked earlier.
And there are other choices too, especially where performance is key.
I was talking with the guy who fixed the laundry equipment at my condo and he really liked the equipment we had. He said it was reliable, durable, did a great job cleaning dirty clothes and rarely needed maintenance beyond normal wear and tear unless people abused them. The equipment that came with more complex controls didn’t work as well and kept him busy with more frequent repairs until they weren’t worth fixing while equipment like ours kept turning out clean clothes. People bought the equipment with the more complex controls because they thought they were buying something better and something they could customize to their unique needs but…
There’s an analogy with American made motorcycles too but I don’t think I can say that without it sounding too harsh.

I hear you. As much as I appreciate and like anduril, this Frazlabs I recently got holds a special place in my heart…I’d posit that it could be the A-Kay 4T7 of the flashlight world. it’s designed to WORK. the weakest points are the TIR and the QTC, and direct drive eliminates the qtc…
**and we fully agree, while modern vehicles exhibit microcontrolled efficiency, it’s really nothing that an experienced professional can’t do…the new stuff only extends the failure point while the guy with the hammer and shim can fix it.

Anytime I had this happen I discovered that it was simply operator error. When I do my part by providing the correct input, I always get the expected results.
Timing and accurate clicking is imperative. When a user supplies those, it just works … consistently.

So another question - how fast do you guys charge that 14500 batteries? I have a Nitecore UI1 charger but it is 800mA of charging current and now Im wondering - is it not too big for 14500 batteries?
I ordered Vapcell’s F15 and K10, and now Im wondering about another charger like Nitecore UMS2… and with that I can get “free” Nitecore NL1411R 14500 battery (i got coupon to use from them)… will that battery work with Emissar D3AA?
The maximum charging current for both the K10 and F15 is 1A, so it’s fine, but I charge at 0.5A, which is more battery-friendly.It would be nice to have a charger that allows you to set the charging current.
Also, I don’t have the NL1411R, but it seems that the maximum discharge current is 3A, so I recommend not using turbo with the D3AA.The current value at the maximum brightness at the initial setting is about 3A, so it seems to be usable, but as the voltage decreases, it exceeds 4A.Therefore, the maximum brightness must also be lowered.When using anything other than k10, be careful about the maximum brightness setting.

Im aware of that 3A limit and need of decreasing max brightness so that would not be a problem, but it seems that NNL1411R is a protected battery - will it work with D3AA, when on Emissar website there is a info for using unprotected only.
If you follow the 3A limit, it will work even with cells that have protection circuits.
