Thanks. I decided to go ahead and purchase one as well as an arisaka offset mount. I'm having problems finding spare batteries for it though, so what are some other battery options that work well? Will any 18650 work with it?

Samsung 30Q is a popular choice. |

Cloud just confirmed a micro 3.0 is coming soon. Hopefully the wait isn’t as long as their pistol light.

I came from tape switches (and even their OWL is like an integrated tape switch) and 1000% prefer buttons now. The dual button set up is fast and intuitive. No worrying about too long/short of a click or how much pressure you’re applying to control modes. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Castillo: How is there pressure pad system? Seems weird. I don't love their remote switch but I could say that for literally everything I've tried. Modbutton, Hot button, TAPS, Surefire...They're all finicky and of questionable reliability (imo). My Rein 1.0 had a battery failure which somehow cascaded to a tailcap failure. Cloud was prompt about fixing it and made it right very quickly. I now have a 2.0 and 3.0 with nothing bad to say. They out perform my Modlites (which I also like!) And have been generally reliable. My bottom line on weaponlights is that they're not as reliable as would be ideal. Failures are not uncommon. Pick from an established mfg - like Cloud - and accept it's the best we got for now. |

I can't decide between regular size or micro.
Also did anyone mention if the Surefire Pro mount (can be tilted closer to the rifle) will work with the REIN? Seems like the mount it comes with the light would be pretty far off the rifle while attached to a pic rail compared to the Surefire style mount. |

Arisaka is a common mount used for the Reins and original Scouts. If your rail only has attachment points at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, use their offset mount at the 3 o'clock position, which can tuck the light in closely to the 1-1:30 position. If your rail also has attachment points in the 45 positions, you can use their inline mount, which will put the light in the same location as the offset mount. I have both and they are great pieces. Super light and low profile pieces. Haley Strategics thorntail mounts were also in the running. They are functionally similar to Arisaka, but are constructed with 7075-T6 vs 6061-T5, so are stronger. I only went with Arisaka because it looks slightly cleaner. No extra rail attachment holes. Plus, I'd rather have the $50 mount break before the $400 light. |

I’ll save you the money, a MLOK mount won’t. That spacing is way off and even if it weren’t, MLOK mounts have protrusions on the back side that interface with MLOK slots, it’s not flat. This is the problem with proprietary accessory mounting systems. You could give the SMR 416 mount a shot, but I think the hole spacing is wider than 1.6”. https://arisakadefense.com/offset-scout-mount-geissele-smr-416/

Decided to switch gears from SF and picked up a Micro for my new LaRue setup… wound up buying online from Bereli. What I received was an unsealed box (doesn’t look like it was ever sealed). The actual light was wrapped in a single layer of that thin packing foam and the pic rail attachment (that’s even listed on the outside of box) was missing.
After some superficial responses and delayed interactions from Bereli when questioning the issues and inquiring about a replacement, their answer was “it’s a brand new product, that’s how we get it from the manufacturer, no replacement because we’re out of stock, here’s a return label.” Is this how new Rein’s come packaged? Is the pic rail attachment actually not included? Without testing on the LaRue, the light seems to operate as it should.  Attached File |

I’ve ordered a Rein 3.0 to pair with my PEQ15. What mount will tuck it up next to the 12 o’clock mounted PEQ without interfering? Offset? In-line? Also, the switch/pressure pad placement is giving me indigestion. I’m open to ideas & recommendations.

I just got a REIN 3.0 today. I like the power, lightweight, and size. It is larger than a PLHv2 but still fits on the most outboard (3rd) hole on an Arisaka offset mount with the head right next to a Troy BUIS (which is a larger front BUIS).
But the REIN 3.0 doesn't work with the KeepPower button top 18650's that I use with my Modlite PLHv2. I have tried multiple batteries, assembled, disassembled, watched the instructions again (yes I screwed in the orange thing), etc. etc. Nothing. It does work with the flattop orange 18650 that came with it, but I have to *really* crank the endcap ring to get it to work. Like literally 1/8 of a turn off max tight and it doesn't work. It took me a bit of time to even figure that out. So I'm pretty frustrated with the light right now. It almost seems like the endcap spring is too short or something. I thought I was screwing something up, until I found this thread. Ugh. I like the robustness of the independent tape switch and tail cap. But out of the box I had to mess with it quite a bit just to get it to produce *any* light. I tend to think that this REIN 3.0 is overly complex, but it does accommodate a of different batteries (CR123, and button, flat, and USB 18650's). |

You could probably throw a WTT up and have someone swap you for the pic mount pretty darn easy if that's what you really want, but except for putting it on a fsb mount there's not really a time I can understand wanting the direct pic mount. |

When you say you cranked on the end cap, do you mean the orange plastic battery jack in the body/tube? You might need to adjust it to use different 18650 types. I try to keep to one brand/type of battery so I don’t have to adjust it, but it’s a part of the set up that often gets missed. If I want to run CR123’s I have to spin that orange battery jack a little bit from where my 18650’s seat. If you haven’t tried that, see if that works. The battery jack is tight at first, so make sure you have something that fits it well. Go to 5:00 in this video if you haven’t adjusted the battery jack.  REIN Setup and Troubleshoot If adjusting the battery jack doesn’t fix it, might reach out to them. Let them know that too, as their default response will be to adjust it. I’ve never used button tops so that’s the extent of any advice I can offer. |

Thanks for replying… as you inferred, I wasn’t planning on using the pic mount anyway. My question was directed at understanding if this is really a “new/unused” product or if it’s some hodgepodge, thrown-together used/returned item that the seller is trying to unload as new.

I’m gonna be honest I really don’t like the pressure pad set up.
I don’t like the proprietary nature of it I don’t like the non-modularity of it I don’t like two separate buttons for momentary/constant I don’t like how hard momentary is to press I’m sure you can get used to it, but I fail to see any of those things as advancements or benefits over everyone else’s Pressure pads |

This is noted in the legacy body where they state loss of power with certain tapeswitches. They teased the single button a few months ago. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Castillo: I’m gonna be honest I really don’t like the pressure pad set up. I don’t like the proprietary nature of it I don’t like the non-modularity of it I don’t like two separate buttons for momentary/constant I don’t like how hard momentary is to press I’m sure you can get used to it, but I fail to see any of those things as advancements or benefits over everyone else’s Pressure pads YOu can get the the legacy body and the 3.0 head and use any surefire tail cap and whatever switch you want. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By hoody2shoez: The pressure pad is an older design at this point but they where the first company to break away from the surefire setup-the wires on the legacy designs couldn't handle the output. This is noted in the legacy body where they state loss of power with certain tapeswitches. They teased the single button a few months ago. That would be great. I’m not in the camp of needing to use SF type switches, but it if CD is going to go the proprietary route it needs to be better than the competition. Right now, IMO, it isn’t. |
