a new EDC light of 2017- JAXMAN E2L

However there are plenty of honest/impartial reviewers around, and good reviews are linked to increased sales. Whilst I don’t mind this approach, Jaxman would probably get more sales if they sent a few lights to a couple of the more impartial reviewers.

We’ll be seeing honest impartial reviews here as those of us (yes, me too) who bought the flashlight get some time with it.

I’m wondering what it’ll take to defeat the glue used to hold the LED in place. Heat gun?

Time will tell.

A few years back I’ve seen members here promising a positive review for free flashlights and not bring at all
shy at all about it.
I think it’s great when vendors call them out on it.
:slight_smile:

Please understand, we’re weird. :smiley:

I don’t pretend to speak for anyone else, but for me, most complete lights I buy off-the-rack, I leave as-is. Call it laziness. If I don’t like something about the light (blinkies, the UI, etc.), I just don’t buy it, period. Lots of lights I just walked away from, because a review or comment pointed out some annoyance that I really didn’t want to deal with.

Otherwise, some lights I’ll buy only for their value as hosts, and strip them down to parts as soon as I get them. The UF F13, ferinstance. Typische annoying H/M/L/strobe/SOS, but acto an OldLumens vid someone posted, it looked quite moddable, so I got a few. Wellp, 22mm driver instead of 20mm, but doable. C8s? Damn, I’ve got an army of C8s, ready’n’waiting for whatever LED, driver, etc., that I’d want to throw into it. Same with lots of ’502s and a few ’501s.

I agree that lights shouldn’t be epoxied shut (not unless the mfr has a no-questions-asked warranty in case the slightest thing goes wrong). But using Fujik instead of AS5 (or nothing) shouldn’t get them unnecessary razzing.

Once you open it up, though, don’t count on a warranty. What mfr in its right mind would cover a “hotrodded” light? “You break it, you bought it.”

Still, it’s really nice to be able to mod a light and not leave it bone-stock, if that’s what you want to do. As long as you’re not counting on a warranty, sure, make it mod-friendly.

Yaaay, Jaxman! I might just get that E2L I was eyeballing… :smiley:

No hosts are being offered yet — send jaxman a pm and hope they’re keeping a list.

The 4mm thick shelf for the LED is good.
Not as thick as the 7+mm of the Zeusray (7mm) but I’m not complaining.

Hope this isn’t a silly question, but is there any other way to get the E2L than through AX?

First, AX insists on displaying its pages for me in German, and other than “Klink” and “Schultz” I don’t speak German. (Yeah, yeah, click the set-language thingy, but sometime later on a different page, it’s back to the stalag again.)

Second, I’d rather not set up yet another account on another site, especially if I don’t sprechen sie deutsch.

Was hoping one would be available at GB, FT, Amazon, somewhere

Anything?

I feel your pain. I was very much upset with AE a couple hours ago due to their site glitches. I managed to ignore the language selection glitch but the mobile version :expressionless: I was trying to buy some Thorfire items but the page kept on changing back to mobile view every time I go to another page.

I ended up closing the tabs without buyung the items :weary:

Just go to English language site and put “Jaxman E2L” in the search bar if it’s not too exhausting…

Close any AE page and delete the AE cookies
Enter only via www, never in de, pt, es, or any other language
If you accidentally enter a language other than English, then you must delete the AE cookies

hi where can i get the JAXMAN holster pouch for this light?
i see a Jetbeam one on aliexpress but not the Jaxman Logo one.

thanks.

2nd post has the link :

Really neat holster for 1.60. what’s total charge are you getting ? I am getting $4 with shipping.

I am having the same issuues, someone recommended to click on “global site” on Top Right.

I think there were many people asking him the same question about avoiding AX, so I suggested to start an interest group to get an idea on everyone’s preferences and to see the numbers.

I think Jax also mentioned in one of the threads in feedback section that he is now accepting paypal. I don;t know the details though.

Umm, I try to force it to the english site, and it still insists on redirecting to de.aliexpress.com.

Bugger them.

Thanks I got I think $5.37 including light to uk shipping.

I started a Interest group if anyone is interested to sign up:

Suggestions are welcome as well :slight_smile:

I’m not really understanding your having that problem Lightbringer, I logged in and bought a couple of lights from Jaxman on AliExpress using a Visa card and it was zero issue. They shipped quickly, enroute even now.
