The Maratac AAA "Cu"

[UpstandingCitizen]

Can anyone who bought the first Maratac Cu comment on the smoothness of the threads? Does the copper gall in a way that is similar to titanium threads?

 

[kaichu dento]

They're reasonably smooth, but the nature of copper is such that galling is not the problem it is with titanium, and if you have any roughness, will smooth out much more easily.

Just ordered one, Thanks for the heads up!

Too bad the new ones only have 2 modes. They are also very hard to open without messing up the board. NIce Signature pic Shado!

Love the composition!

Yep, something like 2, 25, 90 lumens or so...

ah gotcha. I will say I do prefer two modes for twistys. if it's a clicky i can deal with more than two modes lol

Any word on the beam quality? The other Rev 2 Maratacs got mixed/bad reviews, but this seems to have an OP reflector, which may change things. (I believe the others are smooth?)

My Black Maratac AAA Rev2 does indeed have a smooth reflector.

mine comes tomorrow

 

[tobrien]

so can these be swapped to a Nichia 219 or XP-G2?

or would it be better to just install a NW XP-E in place of the CW XP-E?

Ohhhhhh yeah, no chemicals, just my hands from EDC! :rock:

Just ordered from Miles....this will complement my Mac Copper Tri EDC

Help! Got my Maratac AAA Rev 2 Copper from Miles. Gorgeous. It worked perhaps six times, and now it won't turn on. I did the recommended thing: searching for copper flakes, chasing the threads with a toothpick, etc. Nada.

Advice? I'd rather not send it back if I can figure this out myself.

The New Orange Peel Reflector is aluminum alloy.

Length: 2.6" ( Smaller than Rev 1 )

Just want to confirm about the UI before I place an order, is it high-->low or low-->high ?
Thanks very much.

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

Low/high

 

[eh123456]

One more question about the Rev 2 Cu : Is it cool, neutral, or warm ?

HELP! Re: The Maratac AAA "Cu"

Nobody have any idea how I can get this to turn on?

I hate to state the obvious, have you tried different batts?
