    EDC NiteCore

    I own two ramping EX10s...one had issues but it just needed some TLC with some cleaning and Precision Oiler, which fixed it. I had an Extreme R2 die on me completely after barely any use at all -- this I sent back to Nitecore for repair. I don't think I would recommend Nitecore. Their...

    Ra Clicky (HDS Systems EDC) - Part 10

    I think if you did pull the trigger, you will really enjoy the light...it's actually really useful and it's built so solidly. Since I got mine a few weeks ago (170 flush exec), I've been carrying it everyday. The 4 reprogrammable settings are great. When I first started doing research, I was...

    Brass SST-50 EDC 1st Run *Closed*

    hhmm, yeah that's what i thought...that's why on my second mac light i went with the 1.4, my first one is a 2.8 using the red aw rcr. i just ran out of my surefire primaries, too. at least it's working perfectly on an rcr right now. i'll have to test out a surefire primary when i get some more.

    Brass SST-50 EDC 1st Run *Closed*

    Just received my brass light and I love it. It's pretty hefty so most likely I won't be EDC'ing this one. But I'm glad to have it in my collection. One question though, does the 1.4a version not usable with primary cr123? I put a 4sevens cr123 and it didn't seem to like it and started...

    Ra Clicky on a Keychain?

    that pic is actually how i carry my qmini 123, as well. for the clicky, i don't use the clip, but rather a paracord with a constrictor knot. it's a handy set up, peace of mind that i won't drop it and lose it.

    Dim/Possible Defective EX10 XR-E R2

    I had a nitecore extreme that went hot on me and i heard a whizzing sound. i think it shorted out. i sent it back to nitecore headquarters in china. they fixed it and i've been using it here and there with no problems. they are very responsive over email. it is pricey to send it to China...

    Oops, Clumsy Me!!

    I actually prefer lanyard over clip. After reading this thread, I made a wrist lanyard for my new Ra clicky 170. Thanks to another cpf'er who posted a pic and an explanation that they used a constrictor knot to make the lanyard. It works well. :twothumbs

    Malkoff M31

    +1 on this. i have an M30 in a vme head/twisty body setup -- love this light, but would also like to see it have a lower mode for longer run time.
