Moddoolar Triple Wasp Cooling Head and Glow System

[nfetterly]

For those that are waiting on the XPLs to drop, are you wanting HML or a LMH head?

I've been thinking about both and I can see benefits in both configurations. Having a tough time deciding.

I'm a LMH guy. Use in industry, not tactical - so starting at the bottom I can often stop at medium, if I start from high medium doesn't seem as bright.

 

[MMD]

LMH. I would use it for EDC and low is perfect for 90% of everyday tasks. I also like that I can preserve battery by not having to switch through high and medium. I think a tactical light should be single mode only. I would maybe do a thrower starting on high but would probably just prefer a single high output there too.

I prefer LMH for mostly EDC tasks.

Just to make sure I'm playing the purchase game the right way so to speak, what should I do? Do I check the OR website for updates and availability and purchase from there or am I better off finding out the latest and greatest and purchase from OR here on CPF? If the best way is to get intel and purchase on CPF, How would I purchase from OR on CPF? Not really sure what to do....:thinking:

 

[MMD]

The products will be for sale on the OR website not here on CPF. This thread is however the best way to get information on availability. Dan has said that they will be giving a 48 hour heads up here before making the lights available on the OR website. Make sure to go to the OR website and subscribe to the insider emails too.

Now this Redundancy Redundancy Redundancy the tenth power situation Hmmmmmmm. :tired:

Thank you for the intel sir. Damn I'm Tired. You know, I work afternoon shift from 3:00pm to 11:00pm, Get home by 11:45pm, out of the shower and fed by 1:00am, then I realize there isn't crap on TV, then I bust out my Tablet and the next thing I know It's 4:15am already.....yep, next thing I know it will be 9:00am and hear the birds chirping. My Samsung 10.1 Tablet is very addictive, and so are the many websites I'll check out over the five or six hours. I hate being tired but CANNOT fall asleep. :mecry:

I'm going to go with HML, as all my others have been LMH.

With that said I spent my WASP money on a McGizmo Mule head with xpg2 and a RPM Ti E series tail cap.

So I will probably sit the first run out, unless someone buys my 6330vn.

Yikes, I just went through the Overdeay site to get to this thread (sometimes I find that quicker to get straight here), and I could not believe my eyes when I saw that a Natural HA Wasp was available! So I just picked this up (I hope it was a stroke of luck due to someone changing their mind, and not a fluke of the web site):

Moddoolar Pocket - Natural
Bezel Ring - 5. Cren 304 SS - AlTiN (dark)
Body Size - 5. DB 65mm (1x18650, 2x18350)
Head Style - 4. Trit Wasp GID - HA Natural
Lens/Window - 2. Ultra Clear Lens (UCL)
Light Engine - Triple E3 HML Neutral 219B
Tail Cap - 4. Triad with Trit Slots
Tail Switch - 06. McClicky - Black MEDpress

:twothumbs

Now, in order to prepare for this baby's arrival, can someone please tell me what size trits are used by the wasp head and by the triad tail, and how many of each will be required?

Thanks!

I just looked and I saw nothing in stock. Who knows though, maybe you'll get lucky and it'll be in stock. Good luck.

I am sorry, the excitement must have made me go nuts, as I do not see it: http://www.oveready.com/moddoolar/moddoolar-pocket-natural/prod_276.html ...?

[EDIT: Sorry, just realised the info is on the dedicated pages for the heads and the tails. Duh...]

 

[Univtex34]

Any updates?

 

[ElectronGuru]

Any updates?

Sorry, not yet. Tom is still working long hours to get a handle on things.

I expect to have details before next week.

Good things come to those who wait. These are going to be phenomenal.

Dan and I both had some family health stuff that slowed us down recently.

We'll be back soon with some good news.:thumbsup:

We hope that you and yours are all happy and healthy.

 

[th8tredude]

While I am extremely excited to get an XPL Wasp head, family comes first. My money will be waiting whenever they become available. Take care of the families and be well!

Sorry for the dumb question but what does "WASP" designate? Is that just the ascribed name of the new head or is that an acronym for something? Again, sorry for being dense.

Not in the least. Sometimes our names make sense, sometimes not. In this case and in keeping with our theme of 3, the head incorporates 9 (3x3) bars connecting the front to the back. Pratt & Whitney introduced a new air cooled engine some 90 years ago, consisting of 9 cylinders, in a similar rotary configuration, called the Wasp:
