Looks like most are not interested in the TiN coating. I can do a batch of bare Ti finish. The price will be US$260 + shipping. Shipping charge can be reduced to us$6 if you opt for normal registered air mail. But there will not be tracking and insurance. Buyer will have to take the risk if they opt for the cheaper shipping.
For those who are interested. Can you indicate which finish do you want? If there are sufficient no. for TiN coating, I will do a small batch with it and another batch for bare Ti. If not, they will all be bare Ti.
My apologies for the inconvenience caused. I should have got the pricing info out sooner. But I was trying/waiting to get more quotations so that I can reduce the price as much as possible.
Cromagnet - The current draw on a freshly charged battery is 363mA.

Neg2led,
You can opt for the bare Ti version which cost $260 + shipping. Shipping will be $6 or $20 depending on which one you prefer.

Sorry some what off topic
The problem with this project is not the high price tag. It is that somebody is making an attempt to make too much money here. Plane and simple. Look around and see what $300 buys you in a TI flashlight these days. a TI chameleon for example was less. the McLUXIII T a bit more but look at the design amazing!!
I paid $150 for a flashlight made of Ti and sterling silver.
Come on guys make these lights but plan the design and costs check your market before just jumping in with something with very little chance of true success. I am sorry.
There several examples of flashlights being made from ti. Ti is a more expensive material.
There are those who would have you believe that Ti is impossible to deal with or that it is totally impossible to machine. Titanium is a material which is machined into amazing parts for use in amazing objects (everything from guns to airplanes to engines to flashlights and on and on..... This hard to work with ti myth is driving prices up way up. Yes it is harder. But it is certainly not as difficult as some people would have us believe. Some of this stuff is worth every penny. Some is not. My machine shop doesnt charge a huge premium to work in it they are experts at working in titanium. They often work in materials much more difficult that Ti. Material prices are rising. Labor has stayed about the same.
Hype is through the roof!!
It is the end result that counts. Well made titanium objects are wonderful virtually indestructible beautiful color. There are much better materials for making flashlights too BTW aluminum being one of them.
I own 2 titanium flashlights a McLuxIII T and a Ti Ag RAW. I love them both.
It is my hope that as more people bring Titanium products to market, creating competition thus lowering prices.
