Yeah I'd love to have a knurled twisty in titanium. I've noticed switches suck at first but after a few weeks of use they tend to smooth out

but I do not recommend it because
1. Maratac Titanium threads are very gritty
2. The LED is Low CRI
Reylight uses better LEDs.
and fwiw, a Reylight will also operate as a twisty (just leave the switch on).
great to hearThe threads on this one (revision 4?) is pretty decent for titanium, especially after I've applied Teflon/silicone lubricant.
It's gorgeous but to be a pineapples, I was expecting some very aggressive checkering.Ti plain smooth pineapple miniView attachment 62469
Ti threads are supposed to be very gritty. Just the nature of titanium. If someone hands you a polished light that they claim is titanium, but the threads are smooth.... They lied to you.Maratac offers one

I don't know Mono. My DMC Hoku clickies threads are smooth as butter, I highly doubt they lied about it being titanium lolTi threads are supposed to be very gritty. Just the nature of titanium.

The stock regular models have the pineapple type checkering, sometimes he makes some with different types of finishesIt's gorgeous but to be a pineapples, I was expecting some very aggressive checkering.

For budget lights, perhaps. McGizmos? Like buttah. Don knows titanium.Ti threads are supposed to be very gritty. Just the nature of titanium. If someone hands you a polished light that they claim is titanium, but the threads are smooth.... They lied to you.
and their lack of parasitic drainPart of the appeal to twisties for me anyway is their more compact size
and their lack of parasitic drain
thanks for checking, I did not know that about reylights.. (I dont have one, I tried one, hated the switch, so did not keep it)Just tried on my copper and titanium Pineapple Minis, nope, the light stays on when you twist it.
99% of my non twisty lights have e-switches tho (d4v2, d3aa, kr1, fwaa, ts10, sc600, fw3a etc.)Most mechanical switches don't have parasitic drain.
Well, there's your problem right there. Stop by lights with e-switches. Get ones with mechanical switches.99% of my non twisty lights have e-switches tho (d4v2, d3aa, kr1, fwaa, ts10, sc600, fw3a etc.)
