Thanks.
How old is your TK-75? Did you ever run it on turbo outside for extended periods?What dealer did you purchase it from? Your 3 AA MINIMAG, does that still work or did the problem progress and make it useless?
Tk75 bought off ebay. It was sent from Mankato, Minnesota. Received it on 8/15/13. I have not noticed it fogging when outside using it, only when I did the testing with fan. Last night I ran it outside (63f outside) for at least 20 min. It was noticeably warm holding it but not "hot". I did check and no fogging.
The TM15 acts the same. Some slight but noticeable spots when running on turbo with a fan. I have not seen any spots when it actual use outside and have ran it till it's uncomfortable to hold. I may just have not noticed it but I will be checking for this now and will report more as I use these more.
The Minimags are gone. Gave them away. But do remember seeing a tiny spot a few times on those after running awhile. Never noticed any problems from it though. If I hadn't happened to see it in there I never would have known.
Thanks!! I am going to TK-75 therapy!! It starts at 8 pm in Philadelphia!
I would be interested in seeing how yours reacts if you use it on Turbo "Constantly" like me! I use it between 52 and 62 minutes on turbo continuously. After the timed step down[20 or 30 minutes] ] I put it on turbo again. Last night, It did NOT show condensation until 25 minutes of continuous turbo. The first night is started at 12 minutes of turbo! I realize that I probably use turbo more than the average person. However, that is no excuse for the torch to act as it does!! I have a battery kit[extension] It will last 2 hours and 54 minutes of TURBO with that!! I tested it! what is going to happen in the winter when I take the Siberian out for extended play time!!! I guess I will find out!

p.s. The serial number will tell you where it came from in the U.S.A. There are three[3] dealers/facilities. I also bought mine off of Ebay from Longhorn Tactical in Austin,TX. He got it from a Dealer in Broken Arrow, OK. known as Fenix Outfitters who advertise on here. they have been very helpful,the PROBLEM is in China!
