A couple notes based on the Ti Stonewashed Pineapple Mini Seigaiha I just got from Reylight: • Mine came with their longer tailcap, like the other two titanium Pineapple Minis in your collection. This allows the flashlight to tail stand, and it makes it nearly impossible to accidentally press the button while in your pocket. I think it makes it easier to change modes too. • Mine has the seigaiha pattern on the entire flashlight, not just the midsection. The pattern extends all the way to the very tips of the flashlight, leading to some uncomfortably rough edges, especially around the tail end of the light. On the other hand, it looks great with the pattern covering so much more surface area. I think it'd be better if the pattern stopped a few millimeters before the ends, so it didn't affect the comfort of those key areas. I smoothed out the rough areas with emery cloth to gave the entire body a rub for a smoother feel in the hand. • Mine came with a black clip and a chrome metal spacer, which was nice.
@@LiquidRetro I figured it'd be good to let others know about the changes, as your video is the only one I could find for the seigaiha Pineapple Mini. Thanks for your review. It was helpful. Despite my gripes, I'm still happy with the light and I'm glad I went with the seigaiha version.
I bought both the stonewashed versions of the Pineapple Mini (519a) and the AA Pineapple (219b), and they really hit the sweet spot for me. The low 2% setting is close to perfect for night hikes IMO (i prefer dim lights), and i believe the Pineapple Mini get 20 hours runtime on this setting with a 800mAh Eneloop battery, so i could theoretically go camping with just this AAA light. But i always bring a backup flashlight just in case one breaks down, and the combination of the soft beam of the Pineapple Mini, and the more throwy regular AA Pineapple, i feel ready for any situation - except moose encounters *shivers*. I almost cant believe it, but i think my search for the perfect flashlights is over. The Pineapples covered the AA and AAA flashlights, while the Wuben X-0 has me covered for handsfree operation when i use hiking poles, and the Mecarmy X1S scratched my itch for a very small and well balanced keychain flashlight for everyday tasks 😋
A little expensive even at $55 USD...the Mini is stilling in Caada for a crazy $150 CAD...farcry from $25 CAD for the Olight I3t....even with different emitters....guess you REALLY have to be an "enthusiast".
That pricing is specific to you in Canada. It's $59 in the US. So for ~twice the price, you get a programmable UI, titanium chassis, dual fuel driver, much better emitter, subjectively nicer looking design.

Yep you have an updated model. Note the video is over a year old.

Great review & an awesome collection! The Seigeiha pattern was my second pineapple and I really love it.

Great review!
Thank you!
Thanks, great review. I plan to purchase.
Enjoy!
Wonder what it looks like with the new tailcap.
what color temp is this
Check my led section I go over that.

Probably not a very fair comparison with this light and an i3T that they give away all the time
I usually think its ok to pay a bit extra to get something i really like
