    HDS Systems EDC # 19

    For me, the raised button is easier to push than the flat one. I mean how hard is it to push either button lol. I got the flat one one on the 200 hcri just so I could tailstand and use candle mode. To tailstand the raised button version...check out Hogo's Youtube video on the subject.

    Sigh. I now own five HDS lights. Thank you for the encouragement everyone :) I got a 325 4000k from Hogo from the special buy-in late last year. Mine has a hint of yellow in the tint. Everything looks gorgeous in it. Earlier I got a rotary with flat button, sapphire lens and 200 hcri. The works...

    I have Black, Autumn, Raw Copper and Rainbow Titanium. I must like these. Yes thay do skip around on the mode changing. Gotta be fast and firm in your twist :) I like the fact that the memory mode is rock solid. I can set it how I want and know for sure it will be at that level whe I want it.

    Speaking of V54 Throwers. I went to Palm Springs for New Years. My wife and I stayed in a Condo overlooking a golf course :D I brought a few V54 lights for fun. And a Vanilla Olight X7. There was from my balcony a ways to the edge of the property. Then a dry creek bed. Then the golf course...

    Are CR123 Primary Cells Dead?

    Two of my Malkoff MDC flashlights will only take CR123's. No RCR123's allowed. CR123's must be made available for that reason alone ;)

    Foursevens Mini Mark II

    So I bought another TI. The Rainbow one. The threads on this one are not as 'tight'. This one operates not much worse than the aluminum black one. I'm pretty pleased. The person who received the bead blasted one I had, has been using it all over the shop. No one told him titanium was more grindy...

    Foursevens Mini Mark II

    I bought the original CW Black model and like it. Light weight, super bright and smooth twisty action. I bought the Autumn Copper and bead blasted Titanium models as soon as they came out. The Copper is markedly heavier than the other two. The threads on the Copper are smooth. Perhaps they feel...

    HDS Systems EDC # 19

    I just tested swapping my Rotary and Tactical heads on 2XAA and CR123 tubes. Both tubes have a Rotary dial and a Button :) The function remain with the head no matter what tube I choose. I have ordered three lights directly from Henry. The last one a month or so ago. It has been a two week wait...

    HDS Systems EDC # 19

    When I was buying a 2xAA battery compartment with a 325 Tactical head. I wanted to swap it with a 325 Rotary head and do some Lego-ing with a floody reflector etc. The upshot is that I asked Henry about where does the programming reside. (I knew the answer) Henry says it stays with the head. Use...

    How delicate are protected Li-Ions?

    Did dropping it turn the battery into a flat top with the button no longer making contact?
