Quark Mini AA in Titanium (just a thought)...

For sure it will cost a bit less than the previous titanium quarks and looks cool too.

That definitely got me excited.:twothumbs
 
Not for me. The Preon I Ti in its twisty configuration has put me off mixing Ti lights and a twisty UI in a light.

Just wondering if its an o-ring problem.
My Ti 123 was crazy tight but it was because of the o-ring. Change it and it was fine.
The threads are a little gritty but nothing terrible.
 
How about a cheaper (than Ti) SS mini?

Ti lights tend to be grippy and can be a bit of a hassle in twisties.

I remember reading a post in the last day or two where someone changed the tail-cap O ring with the one at the head around and it fixed two problems in one hit - the tail-cap no longer moved around much and that it was easier to twist the thing around.

I have yet to try this, but I'm sure I'll find some time to do it during my break off work. I'll report back with results if I end up doing it.

Mine isn't tight enough! I carry it on abelt clip and I know I'm going to lose the head of the light.

Any ideas? I've heard there is a type of grease that would tighten it but I don't want to use the wrong stuff and make it even looser.

I'd love a SS 123 mini. No interest in AA. Csnnot understand why somebody would want a bigger yet dimmer light.
 
I'd like one of each in Ti but only if it's a brushed or bead blasted finish. The mirror finish scratches too easily.

I like AA because it's available pretty much everywhere. Once you leave Europe and the US, CR123's can be hard to find or very expensive.
 
I emailed them on the 8th. They said that "at this time" they have no plans to make the mini in different finishes. So sad.:mecry:

bummer...

maybe we just have to enjoy our minis till the ti and ss be available.:shrug:
Mine will be used in mt hiking attached to a flashlight headband (nitecore/ FENIX)...

I did that, and it worked out perfectly for me. I have played a lot with it, and the clip haven't moved at all since yesterday. Rock solid, i did use pliers to get it on:thumbsup:. I also compressed the spring with a leatherman and heated it for 6-10 sec with a lighter, making it shorter. (Only the +nipple is sticking out of the body.) Now its almost too smooth (all grittyness is gone):naughty: I like it for now, if i want it tighter ill just put back the spare body o-ring.

I have used Molykote 111 on my o-rings. It's a really thick silicon grease. It is significantly more resistant compared to Nyogel. That may do the trick
