Sounds good. Almost the same weight and size as the S-mini as is the reverse clicky.

I love reverse clicky light. I prefer it over forward clicky.

Might want to get one coz I like compact light in 18650 form like the S-mini.

Looks good to me. Hopefully the tints will be nice like my NW E03. A NW and a warm is on my list. :thumbsup:

I'm interested as I love a smallish 18650 light but the position of that pocket clip is not encouraging.

The new Eagletac D25LC2 is pretty darn small as well and has multiple emitter and tint options if your looking for something in 18650 and small that is already out.

Body Diameter: 0.85 inch (21.59mm)

The D25LC2 clicky "suffers" from the same pocket clip positioning as this Xeno appears to suffer from (I'm a deep pocket carry guy).

Non deep carry pocket clip is not a deal breaker, but the twisty D25LC2 with deep carry clip at under 109mm in length is still my favorite 18650 light. But I want to see more of this Xeno

Looks interesting, lack of a clip on the E03 is one of it's downfalls. I can't tell from the pic if the clip is reversible, if it is and sits high on the tail for deep carry I may pick up one or two. I would prefer a forward clicky too but it's not a deal breaker.

A slim 18650 would be a great EDC. A few questions:

-How well hidden are the blinky modes?
-Will you be stocking these?
-Is that an illicit photo? ;)

I'm checking on the "hiddenness"...

Unknown, no pricing yet but possible. That clip doesn't sit well with me, after seeing the OE clip that comes with the RRT-01.

Yes, it's not "out" yet :) can't "unblur it"

I'm posting to gauge if it really is the worlds slimmest. Xeno is great in my book because they offer affordable neutral/warm options yet still durable/fashionable.
