:thumbsup: Too good to pass up. Opted for the bare ti finish just because I love the looks of the stuff (& don't mind polishing it).

lovecpf, hate CPF.
This place is eating my wallet alive the last couple months.

I wish I was obsessed with slingshots...

Bitz Ti arrived today. Now I have searched and get two different listings for the normal sequence of this twisty.

There are basic 3 Brightness levels (Medium-Low-High)

That is what I am getting. So, I guess its OK. Nice white beam.
A little ruff in twisting, feels gritty, but I guess that is to be expected.

Does anyone know how to smooth out the twisting?

Try the lighthound website, if you subscribe to the newsletter they are offering a 25% discount on the Ti version- I've got one on the way to the UK!

Do you mean 25% off the sale price of $124.99??oo:

Is there a promo code or something?

Thanks

 

[cloggy]

That was posted on Jan 28, since then they have knocked $50 off the light so the price you quote is the current one.I originally paid approximately $175 and have ordered another at the latest price- an absolute bargain.I believe they were originally $250

Sold it a while ago to someone in austria (iirc). Don´t know if he is a cpf member, but I suppose not.

Guys, what a deal. Don't forget to apply the CPF code for another $2.50 off that price. Man oh man - I need that like a(nother) hole in my head...but that's too hard to resist!!

 

[nbp]

Up to date again, I think...:tinfoil:

And I seriously didn't need to see that Ti BitZ at Lighthound for 125! You guys are killing me! If I didn't just buy a Ra a couple weeks ago, I'd be all over that like a..well..I'd be all over that. A custom Ti light for $125?!? That's ridiculous!

I gotta keep my eyes open for a Ti at a good price to go with my alum. somewhere down the road. Or maybe one of you guys who just picked up the Ti at a good deal will decide you don't want it and trade it to me or sell it to me at a deep discount, and I mean DEEP. :devil:

Everyone quit reminding me of this deal! The trit slot in this light is calling to me.

If you are still having difficulty with the UI, you can see my post here on how it works. Hope that helps.

Also, earlier in this thread someone was talking about the Ti threads being a bit gritty, but working them smooth. You'll have to sift back a little to find it.

I just pull on the head while twisting and after you feel you've eliminated most of the roughness, clean it up and re-lube. The only completely non-gritty feeling titanium lights I have are my Drake, Draco and Titan.

 

[dagored]

Well that helped a bit, but not as smooth as my Jil Lite CR2 Ti.

I took off the clip, cut into my fingers while twisting, and am now going to use a polishing compound or very light steel wool on the threads. Any reasons not to?

EDIT: Forgot. I would like to put a trit in the tail. Any recommendations, sites, links for a quick purchase of the right size?

 

[Watchguy]

Well, I just pulled the trigger on a blasted version. It was a hard choice though.:candle:

Do you guys like the blasted or the natural best and why?


Lighthound's deal was hard to resist.

Guess I'm a BitZ owner now.

 

[Watchguy]

And my BitZ just came in today.

What a nice little light. Smaller than I would have guessed. It has a very nice beam and tint, although it's not dark enough now to really test it out.

Can't beat the deal from Lighthound for this sweet light.:thumbsup:


Dagored, You can get a trit from B@rt over at the MP. Might do that myself.

 

[run4jc]

Mine came this week - it's been somewhat overshadowed by the Ra high cri clicky that also arrived this week, but the BitZ looks like it'll work for EXACTLY what I wanted - a small, functional, reasonably priced Ti pocket light for times when dress slacks don't allow a 'Gizmo or Ra or the like.

And $125 - that just can't be beat.

:thumbsup:

Done. Should be here by Friday. That would be 10 days from the Netherlands. Got my Norland 61 Thursday. Found a stylist I know that has a light for nails. Hope that works to harden the stuff.

Done. Hope that works to harden the stuff.

It will set fine outside, even on a cloudy day.
