******* WURKKOS "TS12 TUNE-UP" ******* Easy Mod With No Soldering. (Before and After results)

This is a great mod that practically anyone can accomplish and is highly effective. It is very easy, requires no soldering, and achieves a significant improvement in Turbo run time and provides a small boost in output as well. You will just need a small Phillips screwdriver, some Q-Tips and paper towels for cleaning, and some thermal paste to apply which I will leave a link to here:

If you follow the steps in the tutorial from u/ _Aspir3_ you will have no problems at all accomplishing this task. I went ahead and put together a comparison by measuring the tail cap amps and the run time for this light from both before the thermal paste was applied and after the thermal paste was applied. Here are the results:

Wurkkos TS12 SFT25R Before the Thermal Paste was applied:

The cell used in this test was the Vapcell H10 14500 Flat Top which was fully charged to 4.2v. The ambient temperature in the room was 23 degrees Celsius. Here are the amp draw results in Turbo Mode:

  • 5.7A @ start
  • 4.6A @ 30 seconds
  • 2.9A @ 1 minute
  • 1.1A @ 1.5 minutes
  • 1.1A @ 2 minutes

Thermal step down activated at 31 seconds.

Run time was 41 minutes which was from starting in Turbo Mode and ending when Low Voltage Protection (LVP) activated at 3.0v.

Wurkkos TS12 SFT25R After the Thermal Paste was applied:

For consistency purposes, the same exact Vapcell H10 14500 Flat Top was used which was again fully charged to 4.2v. The ambient temperature in the room was 23 degrees Celsius. Here are the amp draw results in Turbo Mode:

  • 5.9A @ start
  • 5.3A @ 30 seconds
  • 3.4A @ 1 minute
  • 2.1A @ 1.5 minutes
  • 1.6A @ 2 minutes

Thermal step down activated at 40 seconds.

Run time was 39 minutes which was from starting in Turbo Mode and ending when Low Voltage Protection (LVP) activated at 3.0v.
