I remember this as being the premier light. Would you guys still buy one?
SureFire E2E stock: still worth getting?

Just because newer more efficient lights are out doesn't make this light any worse - it just means there are more choices around. The E2E is still a solid reliable light which is more than bright enough for most purposes.

Yes! Mine is in a Ripoffs holster on my belt every day. I have added the Lumens factory lamp assembly. It is compact and solid. In many situations, I prefer an incan. It is a classic whose utility and usefulness is still excellent.
I also carry a Fenix P1 in my coin pocket and a Photon on my key chain.
I have many lights, but I still choose to carry the E2E. I do not think you will we regret owning one.

You know, I own an L1, an L4, an Aviator, and an Outdoorsman E1L, and I always seem to gravitate back to my E2e. I just love the size, and the light that it produces is just perfect for most applications - including travel. I also have found that I tend to prefer the incandescent color of the light - as opposed to the bright white color of an LED.
I have an A2, L1 cree, and E2D with LF EO-E2R (throw is about the same, but adds way more spill) using RCR's and I keep alternating between the L1 and the E2D. I just love the size of the E2D/E2E and how it fits in the hand. I used to carry my A2 around but it was a tad too big. If the L1 could use RCR's I would certainly use it more, but since my LF LA is run off RCR's and incan, it gets more use. My Novatac 120P just doesn't feel as great in my hand as my SF's... it's still an awesome light though.
So yeah, E2E/E2D (stock or not) and L1 are my favorites right now =)

Thing about the E2E is that it disappears into a pocket and is very easy to carry. Sure, the larger lights are nice, but they do you no good if they're so bulky that you don't carry them.
Just got one a few weeks ago, black HA finish. My favorite light for feel
and size. So small, great pocket fit, almost don't know its there. Very bright output for the size. Would love to have another one, for my wife to have in her purse at all times. Christmas present, I guess. Put in LF 150 lumen bulb and you have a great light with rechargables. The stock bulb is very nice also, just cost to burn it.. IMO, you need one!!! :twothumbs

I have 4, E2d (my 1st), E2O (w/twisty switch), E2h (E2 body w/E2e bezel), and a E2e (w/McClicky switch).
Get one and order the MN02 LA with it. Very useful. Its a great combo of output and runtime for an incan.
My travel light of choice is the E2O with a twisty switch and a full SC3. It is the epitome of the KISS principle.
Winter is coming, and the E2e is my jacket light of choice. You can't beat incan light in crappy weather.

I might, but I'd have to think about it. I like the ability to use 17XXX and 18XXX li-ion rechargeables in Wolf-Eyes lights.
An E1e or A2? No question, they are unique.

I actually put mine on nightstand duty for awhile. I decided the 6P wasn't THAT much bigger, and it fit my hand better (especially with it's lack of a pocket clip and bigger body).
Well, last weekend I bought (for some odd reason...) a G3. It's now on nightstand duty (for bump in the night only, still have several other lights within reach for general after-dark moving around). Anyway, I decided last night that since the E2E had become superfluous on nighstand duty, it was time to move it elsewhere. When I picked it up, I instantly fell in love all over again.
This morning I threw it in my pocket and it's been great. Not sure what I was thinking, it's tiny and super light weight compared to the 6P. The pocket clip isn't uncomfortable in my hand anymore, either. I'm super excited, and this E2E has re-earned a spot in my EDC again, at least for awhile. Perfect for an EDC tac light, and I still have my Raw NS and P1 in my pockets, and my 6P in my bag, but the E2E fits a need I had forgotten I had. It's just one of those classics you always come back to. Go for it! :thumbsup:

I have to agree with most everyone here that this light is great! I dont have very many lights but I dont think you can EDC anythng bigger than this light. its the perfect size for front pocket carry and I never notice it in the winter in my jacket. Great light output and runtime to match most other incan lights. I ran out of batteries ant it is killing me waiting for some from AW:mecry:, but my LF EO-E2R bulbs got here today!!!
I say get one! Or go by the cpf motto.. "GET TWO!!" and think about the LF bulbs and recharables for "Guilt Free Lumens":rock:

P.S. Flash Gordon, what is the ripoffs holster number if you know?

The Ripoffs CO-150 fits the E2E perfectly. IMO, the best flashlight holsters with the best clip. The flap is long enough to accommodate a KL1 or KL4 if you have that option.

My E2e was one of my first lights.......still carried in my fanny pack as my back up light when the LED EDCs just won't do. One should always carry an incan. with them.

Hmm..I wanna get one, but it's kinda redundant since my UK 2L is so tiny and puts out as much light as the E2O

I had one for a short period of time and sold it! That was a mistake. I will have another....
