Guys, anyone got both Nitecore's EZ123 and QMini 123? If yes, mind letting me know the difference and which would be your choice for EDC?
Am undecided to get which one...i prefer tail clicky, which EZ123 is not. But i like EZ123's appearance. This is gonna be my 1st CR123 flashlight...so need some enlightenment guys... Help..!!! Added on June 1, 2010, 6:21 pmNow surfing CPF in case there's a comparison review on them... This post has been edited by ArmorFiend: Jun 1 2010, 06:21 PM |

QUOTE(damonlbs @ Jun 2 2010, 10:29 AM) QUOTE(pseudoblue @ Jun 2 2010, 11:48 AM) I don't have the Nitecore EZ123 but I've tried it before. Personally, I would go for the Mini 123, I think it's also because it's a very simple light, easy to clean and maintain as well. The beam profile from the Mini 123 is also very nice and floody, clean and smooth. The efficiency for this light even with PWM is very good. However, it is a twisty light, 3-Stage=Low/Med/High, it has 4 hidden blinking modes which you can easily activate. If you decide to get it, I will recommend to clean the threads and re-lube it. I also find the twisty movement can be too smooth sometimes (but maybe cause I'm using krytox). There are couple of 123 clicky options from our local dealers: Quark 123 Tactical/Regular (with or without clip) - Neutral white pre-order should be opened. Fenix PD20+ (with clip) - Improved smooth square threads and knurling. QUOTE(polkiuj @ Jun 2 2010, 11:59 AM) This is pretty easy to answer. It boils down to your personal choice. Some questions to ask: Thanks guys for all the feedback...Modes and UI: EZ 123: Low & High, twist low, twist further high. MiNi 123: Low, med, high and hidded SOS, strobe, 2 beacons. Size: EZ 123: Longer and thinner MiNi 123: Shorter but fatter Brightness, beam & regulation: MiNi is brighter and more efficient overall (thanks to the awesome CREE XP-G!). EZ throws further. EZ is fully regulated. MiNi is not but is brighter for (almost) the (whole) duration of the battery. MiNi is insanely bright on RCR but is not recommended (keep runtime below 3-4 mins on high). MiNi's beam is very clean. EZ has typical XR-E artifacts. Potential issues: EZ is a battery crusher. MiNi might skip modes (I haven't found this to be an issue but some has). They are both ultra thin walled and heat will be an issue so don't let it overheat. That aside, if you like clickies, why not get a Quark 123? It's quite small too. Or a Fenix PD20? I like the Mini's brightness, more output modes and shorter size...though not recommended on RCR, which is what i will be using... I like EZ's cosmetic, throw and thinner size...but not as bright.. Truly torn guys...truly torn... Btw, i couldnt find Quark's website/link on the 1st page on local dealer..anyone has them? |

Hahaaa..ur right guys...! It was so dumb of me..i have been reading reviews from CPF forums between Qmini123 and EZ123 without realizing that 47 is actually the same as Quark... Like Proton is actually Wira and vice versa, at least in a way somehow...
Thanks again guys..!! Added on June 2, 2010, 8:28 pmDamonlbs, already posted to Polkiuj.. Thanks dude..! This post has been edited by ArmorFiend: Jun 2 2010, 08:28 PM |

QUOTE(strinq @ Jun 10 2010, 12:14 AM) So the TK45 is brighter than the competition (except for the HID and the SR90 of course), ahs more flood and decent runtime. Yupp..jst like the movie transformer...~ 75,000 die-hard transformer fans worldwide vs millions of non-die-hard viewers... Jst gottta follow the money trails.... After all, maybe it's the non-flashaholics that keep Fenix afloat.. But i still just can't take 8 AA's... But then again like what the CPF's debates have mentioned, they probably sell way more lights to non-flashaholics thus the market for AA lights is much larger. |

Guys...at long last i have decided to get a 2 x CR123 flashlight...went through nearly all possible brands available (from gadgetworld's sales thread) and was kinda lost on which one to get....so if you guys could help...i am looking for a flashlight that utilizes 2 x RCR123 with the highest possible max/turbo output (lumen) that lasts at least 60 mins...and i noticed Fenix isnt that bright (at least in lumen output) when it comes to 2xrcr123....so would be great if you folks could list it out what's ur preference...~
And i noticed for 2xcr123, size for most are more or less the same so another 1 or 2 cm longer or shorter is okay...price wise not more than RM350...~ Thanks in advance..!!! Added on March 21, 2011, 10:41 amAmd i jst noticed...Gadgetworld2U no longer carries Nitecore...anywhere else i could find nitecore products? Thx!
