I vape and my box mod and mechanical mod uses 18650 batteries and I've got a nitecore i4 and a dozen Sony vtc4's so it's logical for me to find a good light that runs those since they are rechargeable and I happen to have plenty

I have two PD35's. They've worked well for me.
Looks like the poles are in and I'll grab one next week when I have my play money built back up.
It's hard to justify spending $ on Surefires these days - a few years ago it was a different story, but fenix and others have really become quality lights...
Dont get me wrong, I still love my Surefires and EDC the newer E1L, but my fenixs (feni?) have never let me down.
I love the 18650's. Very versatile.
I have a TK11, PD32, PD32UE and a PD35 (and a NiteCore P12) that all take 18650's. My favorite light out of all of those is the PD35.
I carry a PD22UE most days. I like it because it fits perfectly in that 5th pocket on a pair of jeans. The variable intensity via the side button works well for a general use light.
Every time I think about straying from Surefire for light that plays a critical role, I keep going back. I completely buggered up the mounting system on my X300u so badly that they're sending me a new one.
But yes, it's nice how nowadays we can get some high quality lights at reasonable prices.
I have sent 3 Fenix lights back to the manufacturer in 3 years because they stopped working. 2 of them were PD35's ( i think, its been a while). At first I never wanted to pay the money for a Surefire but after I went through 3 of the Fenix lights I took the plunge and Im VERY glad I did. the Surefire lights really are great if you are hard on your light. Fenix did have a grate return policy. I never had to pay for anything to get them replaced, except when i upgraded to the PD35 i had to pay the difference.
now its Surefire or Streamlight ONLY for me.
EDIT: I only have experience with Streamlights weapons lights. I have many many thousands of rounds through my G19 and the TLR-3 still works great.
