Convoy L6... XHP70 Beast!

[will34]

I’m not using my high-amp DMM right now but this one reads up to 8-9A just fine, I have 20AWG 4” leads with banana plugs.

My liitokala cells were fully charged, will test again when I get home with the other DMM, and also ceiling bounce against my modded Jax X6 XHP-50 which produces about the same lumens as the L6 but with twice the throw.

I used the R120 but had not measured the before. It certainly does appear brighter. I also used 20 AWG on both springs for bypass, not what was there. Going to top off the cells and give it a Go on my DMM.

With R100 in mine , 7.51 amps :

Convoy L6... XHP70 Beast!

Cells @ 4.21V : 7.51 amps // After 30seconds : 7.20 amps (At that point cells where at 4.17V)

Hi, just to answer you on the vape liquids since I’m a vaper.

It consist of Propylene Glycol (PG) & Vegetable Glycerine (VG). A friend tested with a multimeter a while ago, it’s non-conductive.

JDub-74 or anyone, Simon’s store site is “empty” of flashlights, except for one. What’s up with that?

Got 6.6A with an R120 on high. Using protected Keeps that need a magnet between them to make contact. I was sent the wrong (Flattops) cells.

On a side note; I have just received shipping and tracking on the replacement 26650 at no charge. Thanks J-dub and Swi for looking out.

That’s ok JDub, I know I don’t know what I don’t know and think I know, ya know? I’ve been in this for years, all the information I’ve had available points to an entirely different scenario. I’ve seen flaws in stuff on battery university plenty before, so much so that I seldom read there anymore. I was going to speak of phones and computers but it would get so convoluted that I deleted it. I used context that had already been pointed at, specifically “we don’t drive flashlights”. So I was trying to keep it real. I’m not in the Li-ion industry, so what do I know. I just spend thousands on the product and use it daily.

I was the one who said "we don't drive flashlights". I meant it in a joking way and hope it did not come across as arrogant or rude in anyway. If it did, my sincere apologies. One of the things I hate about sitting behind a key board as apposed to face to face is the chance that what one attempts to say and mean can often be misinterpreted on the other end.

The China vacation season has started, Be back in 2-3 months.

In seriousness here is the front page of Covoys store:

Spring Festival holiday time:

January 11, 2017 to February 15, 2017

So looks like he will re-open on the 15th of February.

You’re all right kirman, no harm no foul.

Sometimes someone will come into the forum, perhaps with certain insider knowledge, perhaps not, and start pushing that information with zero background, which is misleading. It always pays to establish credibility first so people know or have a better idea if credibility is there.

No matter to me, I’ve built far too many lights to be swayed by a newcomer with abrupt information.

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

Prolly so TA, back to work on Feb 17, new parts available as early as August…

Nice of you klrman to post that as it was just a nice thing to do but I didn’t have a problem with what you said and as you see Dale didn’t either. I don’t want to mention names but yours were not the comments I was referring to when I asked that we all be respectful of one another. All is well. Moving on.

Yeah, it’s after you’ve added in your cart but before you select a payment method. Once it’s in your cart you can apply the code and it knocks 50% off. Pretty sweet deal on these cells.

Thanks for the code JDub-74, great price

Correct. It’s shut down time in China. The whole country stops for nearly a full month. It should be declared an annual month of mourning for flashaholics. :cry:

You were the one to say that e-juice would blow up li-ion cells and now you question my credibilty, common man

@DB Custom

No matter to me, I’ve built far too many lights to be swayed by a newcomer with abrupt information.

That is nice, and I admire your work. But how does building lights give you insight into the technology and chemistry that is inside the cells? Have you read books on that stuff, or is it just forum-knowledge?

I will not further comment on this in here, primarily bc. this is taking such a nice thread soo off topic. So do not answer. If you want a serious discussion start a thread about it in more fitting subforum and I will give you some of my time and stay civil about it if you do.
