Cool comparison video! 🙂 I have only four of your flashlights shown in this episode: FC12, FC13s, TS11 and of course, the TS10 Max. I didn't know that the FC12 can use the short tube from my TS11 though, but I'm not a fan of the 18350 battery format. You're fortunate to have purchased the FC13s as this model was fairly short-lived. It only appeared in mid 2024 and has already been discontinued, along with the Anduril 2 based FC13 (both variants). I'm not sure why Wurkkos pulled the plug on the FC13s as it's fairly inexpensive for the build quality and is every bit reliable as a floody torch. Just checking: have you noticed your FC12 experiencing intermittent lock-out or misfiring when you press the tail switch? I have and it vexes me not knowing how to fix this issue permanently. 🔦😠
I have had no issues with my FC12 at all. Maybe you just had bad luck. I saw it was on sale for only $19 today. wurkkos.com/products/wurkkos-fc12-rechargeable-tactical-flashlight?DIST=QEJCFFs%3D
@@TorchTheNight Apologies, I left out a vital qualifier. The FC12 batch that is plagued with the lock-out problems is the second one, which has a normal and a tactical mode but no stepless ramping. The original batch that had the stepless mode was perfect. I've already come across three individuals on the Internet who own the 2nd batch FC12 and they ran into the same issues that I did. If yours is from the first batch with the stepless ramp, you shouldn't have the lock-out or misfiring problems.
That's cool how you swap out the tube sizes to make a smaller flashlight. I love my Wurkkos lights.
Glad it helped.
