Sold/Expired Full featured 10180 size flashlight Ti and Exotics

[George7806]

Any of these still left?

Hi There, there are a few Ti's left, and 3 Mokuti's. Non of them are assembled, so all finishing options are possible. Feel free to pm me with any questions you might have.

I keep coming back to looking at these lights. They are GORGEOUS. I’m a 10180 junky and want a copper one so bad, but the price tag! Regardless of the workmanship etc, man, I just can’t do it! I wish you all the best though.

I have a few of these, if it was between one of George's work or a few other lights I would suggest this. His work is amazing

Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it! As far as pricing goes, it all depends on the difficulty of machining. The Omicron was particularly difficult having very tight tolerances, and very little material to work with...especially with the exotics. That is the very reason I'm not making any more of it in the future. If it makes you feel any better, I have no copper left, so you don't have to make that choice anymore;-) I will most likely have copper version of the new 10440 one. You have to consider, that all these are new designs, not copies of any other one, so designing and perfecting takes quite a bit of time....Thank you for the best wishes, I hope that at some point I will have something that will meet your needs and you budget. Cheers

Not only you have a few, but you were one of the first ones buying the Nucleus, if my memory serves me right... Thank you for your support, it allows me to keep doing what I'm doing. I hope all is well on your end

I can't wait for the 10440 light. As much as I admire your workmanship and beautiful designs (and my Black Rainbow PVD Nucleus), I tend to favour slightly larger lights because of their higher power, higher run-times and greater heat-sinking capabilities. The 10440 would really be my preferred starting size but my favourite range is 18350 - 18650 sized lights.

I know that your 10440 will be worth the wait and no doubt breathtakingly beautiful like your other lights have been.

If I could also be so bold as to add my wish of flat and secure tailstanding.:duck:

As always, your kind words are much appreciated, and I'm glad to be making something that you'll appreciate as much as I do! I am slowly going towards larger lights, so there will be 18350....but I think even before that there will be an 18500 light. I do however won't stop designing small lights either, as small items have always been my passion, and there are not that many small custom lights are being made. I will try and design completely different lights instead of MK2 etc. so they will stay unique in their own league and interesting. The 10440 is happening, and I keep redesigning parts of it, to include all the features I wanted having on this light. It will worth the wait, I promise As for the tail stand, I'll do my best;-) Cheers

Really glad to hear this, it was having full-sized features in such a tiny format that made you stand out to me when I was browsing. The 18 mm cell market is so congested, I struggle to tell one from another, let alone figure out the reasons for the price differentials between them. I'm sure whatever you produce will stand out, but matching the unique value proposition of this very excellent Omicron is a tall order indeed.

Hey, I know I've missed out a couple of times and came really close this time, to getting a damasteel light. So I'm not going to give up, and an 18500 light would fit the bill. You keep making and eventually I'll have one.

I’d definitely be interested in an exotic in a 10440.

Curious to know what is left with the Omicron by now?

And +1 on a 10440, looking forward.

Just Titanium and MokuTi now. If you want to save $35 on a bead-blasted titanium Omicron, moshow9 has one available here. George, being the gent that he is, has confirmed that the lifetime warranty transfers to the new owner.

Thanks for the heads-up Mike...

By the way, let me take this chance and give you a little update on the 10440 light. So as I've mentioned earlier, I was done with the prototype about 5-6 months ago, have been using it and I'm really happy with it. The external features however would've been really difficult to do it in this size, so it will be done for a larger size light at some point. As far as the 10440, I have kept the internal features, and done a completely new design for the outside. I've done the cad design on Solidworks, it looks like it will work great for this size. I'll have it machined and completed in the next 3 weeks. Sorry about the delay, but few things have slowed me down and taken some of my free time. So far the features are: reverse clicky switch on the back (no rubber boot, I really dislike them... deep reflector for good throwing capability, fully programmable driver, trit locators, and the usual (sapphire glass, weather or waterproof) most likely a pocket clip, that might not be available at the initial launch, but I'll have a way to install by the user without any mods. So please hang tight, I'm on it and it will be introduced soon!

 

[Zandar]

That sounds great.

 

[George7806]

That sounds great.

I'll be keep making them, I promise... (Sorry, this was a reply for your previous comment...)

Re: Full featured 10180 size flashlight Ti and Exotics (Christmas Special)

The state of 10180 chargers, that opens up a can of worms. I'm actually going to use the USB charging in a MecArmy X4S flashlight. It charges at 100 mA, which is a bit on the high side, but since I also carry a portable USB power back, it actually allows me to charge on the move. Ideally you want 50 mA or less, so another option is to buy a DQG Fairy and its charging adapter.

Also MBI offers a 10180 charger. I’ll see if I can find mine and post a photo.
