I've been using the Reylight Pineapple Mini since I got it a while back. It has come in handy during multiple power outages and server maintenance weekends at work.

It's titanium, and can either take a rechargeable 10440 lithium battery, or a standard AAA.

Cool. I have the copper one, and I had to piecemeal it together to make it cool like the new ones. Mine came with the old clip, old tailcap, and old driver that didn't work well on 1.5v cells, it would flicker pretty bad especially on nimh.

I bought the new tail and clip, and emailed Rey about the finicky driver and he sent me a new pill containing the updated driver, new style MCPCB with a 519A, and the new reflector. He even sent the tweezers to unscrew the pill. Dude is legendary.

I ended up swapping the 219B from the old MCPCB onto the new one though, since I really liked the SW45K.

Looking good! I think the new tail cap is a must have. Heres mine.

Did he sell the smooth copper ones or did you mod it?

[–] Pigblanket 2 points 2 years ago

I modded it.

I think its hard to beat a pinapple mini. I like the texturing on yours.

Thanks! I think the seigaiha pattern was a limited run?

I think you are right. It looks better than the typicalgrenade style.
