Wowtac is the budget line by Thrunite. They make very decent products on a budget.

Thanks. I guess I hadn't realized that Wowtac was budget ThruNite.

Do you have any? I've been wanting to pull the trigger on this A6 model (or the newer A7 priced at $30), but... the weird/nonstandard charging bothers me.

I don't know if it's for good reason, or if the 'cheapiness' inside of me is looking for excuses not to spend the money.

I almost bought the A5 but I just have TOO many.

Several Sofirn, Wurkkos, Manker, Fenix, Olight, Coleman, Energizer, Coast, Rayovac etc...

I own the 26650 Wowtac A5 and it is a very nice light with a user friendly interface when you don't want/need all the options that Auduril flashlights has to offer.

How does this stack up against the Wurkkos FC11?

I think a perk that one has is the USB-C port

You got it. It's a bit better because of USB-C and magnetic tail cap. $25.50 right now with Amazon lightning deal. Ends in a couple hours. Get the Wurkos. Otherwise this Wowtac is also good for the money.

Do you recommend any thing else at $30?

I need 18650 with USB C recharge capability. 500 lumen for at least 4 hours.

Don't know of anything else that checks all those boxes other than the Wurkkos FC11, which is widely regarded, so personally I wouldn't waste time looking for anything else, since you seem to know what you want and there's one excellent, possibly only, choice that meets your criteria. Here's a good thread with a wide-range of flashlight recommendations: https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlig..._solstice/
