what is the purpose of that plug? Is there a risk that the refill may leak without that plug?

Really hard to answer because it doesn't have a "normal" mode. The way this works is you can change the brightness up and down on a ramping scale. If you need a visualization, think of a cars MPH needle that sweeps up and down smoothly. It doesn't jump from setting to setting abruptly like the minute hand of a clock. With that out of the way, you can't use 8,000 all the time since it gets too hot to hold. If you use in the more lower ranges the cells last a good amount. And you don't have to run three cells either. It can be run on just one 18650 if need be.

No clue. It's roughly only 300 lumens, won't drain the cells quickly if I'm being honest.

The new ones are good and offer nice features like multiple modes. An old one with a simple drop in are super easy to rebuild and fix. Now if you do a Malkoff or a Firefly drop in in an old one, those are super cool. Not cheap but super cool. It really depends on what you want. If you want a good flashlight to just buy and forget about until it's needed get a new one. If you like to tinker, rebuild and upgrade use an old one as a project for new lens, led and cell upgrade.

I'll give it a shot next time, thank you.

Thanks for the sub and thank you for your service! You got some good torches on you!

Very good point, super easy to turn on accidentally because of that.

Sorry to hear, email Maglite they have a good warranty dept in California.

Apparently you never used a maglite in a self defense situation.

Yessir! I personally used a Sofirn SP32A V2 on my daily BMX but I seem to have lost it. A dedicated flashlight is much more convenient than dedicated bike lights. Only issue is getting a good handlebar mount that doesn't much much

@rlgonzalez04 I've got the sp33v3 and just got the sp36 pro, I've got two handlebar mounts I'm going to make a mount from for the sp33 but the 36 is way thicker, I'm going to have to think of something different to be able to use it on my bars.

@@garygilbert1127 I believe someone made a 3D printed mount and has the file uploaded online. It's in a MTB Forum.

@@rlgonzalez04 it would need to be pretty stong because of the weight of the light, it's quite heavy for it's size, I don't have a 3d printer so I'd need to build one flintstones style with basic hand tools and a dremmel.......bang for buck these sofirn amd wurkkos lights are unbeatable.

@@garygilbert1127 If you Google "SP36 Pro mount" you'll get some ideas. People love putting these big boys on handlebars!

I agree, they just need change the design slightly to accept lithium batteries. I have three with adapters and they have been running flawless for years.

Maglite's are like AK47

I think so, it's not as light as some of the 14500 headlamps I have but it's not bad.

@@rlgonzalez04 Thanks!

You can't on this model.

Thank you sir. 😊

Nope, I'm sure there is some but never enough to kill the cell. It's on a 21700 now btw.

Yes sir, bright and simple. I actually carry mine on my daily work backpack.

No my brother I think there is a misunderstanding. I say 14500 in title because it uses a 14500 battery/cell. It's not referring to how many meters it throws.

Yeah buddy I still have it, it's probably my most used light. I agree, the flashing isn't super bright. That's how it is sometimes.

You won't be disappointed Francesco, it is amazing on the Turbo setting. The new Pro has an even cleaner further throw from the videos I've seen. Wurkkos changes their price often so keep an eye out for when they're super inexpensive.

It throws ok, not amazing but because it's bright the light does travel fairly far. For a short 21700 flashlight I feel it throws adequately

There's some notable differences, the body. GTA is based on the Tool AA so it is a rear clicky with only 4 modes (I believe only 4) and the GT Micro uses a side switch with Narsil UI. GTA is a pretty focused beam with almost no spill and GT Micro does have some spill but throws slightly less. There is a GT Micro with an Osram LED that may be more comparable to the GTA in terms of beam.

I don't think so, I just did a quick search, both Amazon and Ebay have them available.

@@rlgonzalez04 well I check Ebay and Amazon but smart series high grade refillable not Pen itself

@@rebiscothebind975I found a pack two, one black and one silver on ebay. The seller is located in Japan so they're most likely authentic but he wants $84 for the set!

Interesting, they're good people over there at Wurkkos. I know I didn't mention it on the video but they actually sent me two lights. I think the first one got lost in transit so after a month of waiting they sent one from their US offices. Then like another month later the original one with overseas postage showed up haha. I gave one to my friend who always helps me with car stuff since he lives in a ranch.

@@rlgonzalez04 That's very kind of you!

No, no giveaway currently. I don't have manufacturers throwing lights my way lol. I can give you a tip though. Follow the companies on social media, like Instagram for example. Carrie over at Wurkkos have me a coupon code recently and I used it to send my sister two flashlights before she got hit with that bad weather in NorCal recently. For my Acebeam L17 they gave me a coupon code that only works within a 30 minute period on their site. Adelina over at Sofirn has also given me coupons when ever I tell them I'm ready to buy a certain model. Don't be shy and shoot them a DM and see if they can help you out from time to time.

KillZone and BrightLumenShop have the Epoch. Neals Gadgets, LiionWholesale and Illumn have the Vapcell H10 currently. Those two are the same as the Orange Shockli too just different wrappers.

@@rlgonzalez04 thanks, I'm in Canada so it's impossible to get here. I ordered the vapcell from illumn...shipping a killer but glad to find. Thanks!

@@66marbor Ohhhhh I see. It's a gamble with authenticity but Vapcell and Shockli from a Chinese vendor might be your best bet.

@@rlgonzalez04 it's a wait and see now. Hopefully the ones I bought are good. ✌️

@@66marbor You'll be good, Illumn is a legit vendor. Personally IMRBatteries, Illumn and 18650BatteryStore are my go to places for cells.

I just went on Amazon and found some immediately. Use the search "Uni Power Tank Smart Series High Grade". No the plastic Power Tank won't fit. Cheers.

I got it off a place called Shape Ways. Kinda like Etsy. I posted the link to the exact place on my very first video ever which was on that very holder/adapter. Cheers

Oh?

Can't go wrong with the Q8 Pro!

Hmm, the FxMD was the first all metal. It had the metal cap up top and a metal refill. I think the current F701 is all metal exterior, not sure if the refill is metal or the original plastic one though.

Is the FXMD pen still in production or is it already discontinued?

@@dante_gonal You can still get them on Amazon or eBay I believe. I'd just get whichever is cheaper and swap the refill.

The FxMD is now marketed as the all new all metal F701. So, different in no plastic collar like the previous F701 and different in name only, now.

Yeah, tint isn't horrible and it's honestly got the best switch of any flashlight I have.

It's on a 21700 now 😉

Yeah, give it space and it just THROWS. It gets hot, but they all get hot in turbo. From my 10440s to the high powered 21700s. When used in turbo they all get hot. The TS30S dissipates heat well though, once you turn in down it cools off within a minute and you should be good to go for another turbo burst.

@@rlgonzalez04 Heres an idea, make a video of how to set the basic modes. Im having trouble doing mine......

@@caroltenge5147 Sure, I'm out of town right now give me a day or so to round up all the Anduril lights and I can do a basic settings video.

@@rlgonzalez04 Just go through the Wurkkos manual and demonstrate all the modes and adjustments particularly the ramping, and numbers of ramps. Flashlight dummies like me would love it.

@@caroltenge5147 Hi maybe this could help. In Anduril 1, see what mode youre in, if *in Ramping, theres only 2 parameters you can set; FLOOR (low) and CEILING(hi) * In Stepped mode there are three; Floor, Ceiling and STEPS. Default F is 1click(moon) and Default C(High) is 31click. Default S is 7click (steps) Setting up: In Ramping; flashlight ON, click 4 goes to ramp setting. it'll blink once + stutter then it'll blink twice + stutter. We have to input our click/s when it stutters. How many clicks should i input? *Floor /1st blink, by default is at 1 (moon). 5 to 10 clicks gives you usable low. *Ceiling /2nd blink, by default is at 120 (Hi) if you want to lower your ceiling/Hi; do more than 30clicks. higher clicks brings your ceiling down' away from turbo. * there is 3rd blink+stutter (in StepedMode) The procedure applies the same at SteppedMode. How do i change from Ramping to Step?. Flashlight On; At ramping, 3 clicks switch you to the steppedmode. ⚠️Dont forget to set the temperature and stepdown temperature point. for more details, re read the anduril manual.. you'll get the hang of it 😉 Cheers

No sir, the UI requires the higher voltage. The name escapes me right now, but Lumintop had a new little thrower based on the Tool AA 2.0. Take a look at that one, if it retains the Tools UI you should be able to switch between AA and 14500.

@@rlgonzalez04 I think I found the lights you're tlaking about. There's the GTA for AA or 14500 and the PK27 for AAA. thanks.

@@squirts1 Yessir, the GTA is the one I was thinking of! Cheers!

Realistically the TS30 has a more useful beam pattern for most tasks. Thanks for watching!

Don"t!

SP36 PRO is 8k. Standard SP36 is 6k.

Nooooo brother, far from rich. This is Southern California. Hope all is well in England!!!!

What should I do better for future videos?

I feel the opposite. There's not many 8000 lumen flashlights for $40-$50, so a couple of small rings on the ground in order to get so much light output at that price is ok in my book. Cheers!
