Never owned that model but I have had most of them. Many years ago I had Robyn make something different for me. She had some old stock Eiger bodies in a drawer that never went for anodizing including Mule heads. Kinda like the raw aluminum look.
I'm pretty sure Robyn would replace it. I've owned probably 10+ Peaks and had one problem. She sent me a new light and return label.
This would have probably been a better option than bashing the company on a public forum. Looks like you just joined for that purpose.
Welcome to the forum.
For me Rolex = McGizmo.
I own both and in my opinion, no one needs to spend $8000-$9000 on a watch (I did not spend that as I bought it almost 40 years ago) or $400-%500 on a flashlight. We chose to.
I also think the titanium may have slightly stripped threads as it can come apart but screws in securely to the aluminum body parts. Was going to throw it out until I discovered it worked with the aluminum parts. LEDs not great but functional.
A shame they discontinued the Ti3. I still have a few including an old V1(?) and titanium that only works with the aluminum body and head.
Can't explain it.
