I just wanted to press a button. - Not often I get to do that sort of thing.
Thanks Forrest,

As much as I regret that poll option. I can't lay blame on anyone. I also just wanted to press a button, and did just that.
Thanks for doing the poll. Data is good! Wondering how the "I just want to press a button" relates to a reliability poll? Isn't that more of a 'feature' question?
That was a "decoy" for the passive aggressive button pressers to try and obtain some relevant data. It failed with fashion.
Currently "own" 3. All function as described.
To further clarify,
I have one on main key ring. It has a tough ride with all the other EDC junk banging around with it. The HA is holding up amazingly better than most HA lights. I normally only carry Ti, SS, Cu, or Brass lights due to this. But I am impressed so far. Its been through 3 batteries already. I use the heck out of it.
Wife carries one, Daughter uses other.
They/I don't have a single complaint at this point.
As much as everyone likes to shame me for enquiring when SF drops the ball with such frequency, I am just as interested in lights that work as I am as lights that don't. The whole idea of the poll was to see actual numbers. I value your feedback.
The best warranty is the one that's not needed. Naturally the topic of warranties isn't really relevant to durability and or reliability within the context of this thread IMHO.
Not directed at any one person, but the "warranty card" has no place in this thread. Lot's of people enjoy using it in regards to SF. Someone should have gave them a heads up about their world class warranty when I've used it. Who knows, maybe I would have got a working light out of it.
Sad to say it's all right here. In this case it's what hasn't gone wrong rather than if. Heck I actually leaned of few potential points of failure within this classification of light which were unimaginable before this release. So I decided not to buy it. Spent that money on the new Fenix lantern.

I am not sure a reliability pole is even necessary in this case as it's kinda beating a dead horse IMHO. Granted there are people who are happy with their lights. To each their own.
In hindsight, it is beating a dead horse, but wanted real data points which now I think this thread will provide anything but that…….. What I find fascinating is people continue to rationalize that purchasing this light anytime in the near future is worth the effort or aggravation. What I find even more interesting is more people than not ( up to this point ) have reported that their lights functioned as intended. I also believe that those people voted in all honesty with their true experience. However, it's clear that people who have had issue aren't voting for one reason or another ( and of course to some degree that plays to both sides ).
Don't tell me not to speculate, unless Im breaking some forum rule Im unaware of. Im growing rather weary of apologists. 10/10 on "speculating" & "bashing" in regards to the TITAN when simply trying to get a grasp on where this light was at launch and where it is now and why there are so many problems. It's amazing how the definition of words change when feelings get involved. That kind of defeats the purpose of, you know.....speaking. We might as well just grunt and throw sticks at each other.
All that said please stay to the topic, not bad so far:
DID YOUR TITAN WORK OR NOT? Is pretty much the gist of the poll and what I was interested in.
