Awesome comparison. Thanks, Mick. Yep, also what I've observed about the green tint of the Maratac's emitter. Looks like the Eiger has a bigger and more defined hotspot while the Rev3 has a slightly bigger spill (the wall's lines and the boxes @ 25 feet). Not big differences on those areas but...
Great to know. I have the Eiger Cu in the middle and contemplating on the Ultra. My Eiger is quite floody even with the narrow optic option. I'd like a bigger hot-spot. How'd the Ultra in this regard? Which emitter did you choose?
I'm about to buy a 4xAA flashlight for camping use. Thanks to the reviews and runtimes of SelfBuilt, I've narrowed my choices to two: Nitecore EA41 and the Fenix E41. The Fenix has actually longer runtimes than the Nitecore but I'm leaning towards the Nitecore mainly because I can use a diffuser...
Thanks for the kind reply. I was actually contemplating of posting my comparison between the Copper Peak Eiger and the Maratac Copper Rev 3. Got both of them a couple weeks ago. But being a total noob here, I was kinda intimidated posting my newbie thoughts especially seeing the very detailed...
Cool. Thanks for the info. Yeah that green tint is a little off but I hope I'll get accustomed to it. I just want an AAA EDC that's outside the norm of generic black body, brighter than my Maratac Copper Rev 3 when running on an Eneloop and can take a diffuser cap for candlelight uses in camp.
Will we have better and more advanced LiIon cells in the future? Just seeing AW 10440 disappearing from the web doesn't seem promising.
When I was researching about the IMR 10440 batteries and chargers, it was interesting that the Vape world is getting a lot of search hits. Basically, if we...
So now that we don't have AW available, I'm confused which 10440 to get. I've boiled it down to two choices: Efest IMR and Ultrafire. The RMSK site also quotes "you don't need nor is it recommended to use an IMR" and they themselves are selling Ultrafires despite some trusted members here saying...
Luminox Black Out chrono. Been durable and has survived every bump and tropical wear and tear its been through. The original rubber-silicone bracelet gave out months ago and have replaced it with a green nato strap. A stellar EDC watch.
Try ceramic knives. Crazy sharp. I own and highly recommend the Kyocera Ceramic Santoku knives. I have a couple for a few months now and they're as sharp as the first day used. That's the awesome thing about ceramic. They're lighter than you're usual steel knives though so they're best for...
