22/7 is also Pi, and coming up Saturday, so is Saturday Pi day? 
As long as we get to eat some PIE!
Yes, it is. Seriously.
My Mom is 83 years old, has been baking Pecan Pies a LOONG time… Saturday seems like a great day to talk her into doing it again. 
OHHH!!! Pecan Pies! Oh I LOVE Pecan Pies!
…with a great cup of fresh roasted, fresh ground, fresh brewed coffee… :heart_eyes:
Spam pies anyone?
Reminder:
The Q8, a BLF premium edition SRK type monster flashlight
Got something relevant to add?
Never had one, but might as well give it a try it appears.
.
Umm…
Oh, I got it! 
I wonder how long it would take to heat up a cup of coffee and a slice of pi using the Q8 on Turbo!
Yes
Barry told us that:
The test were good
They use proto 2 springs with longer inner spring
He asked for manual (working on cheat sheet, please all who can contribute do so in Joechina s thread for it it is now or never for the printed and boxed version )
We will see a video of drop test to show stiffness of springs
Oh dang Dale, sounds good, can you get a recipe for me (my chocolate cake is so good, people here love it more then what the profs make but heck that is easy, dairy without fungus the French are not good at, maybe I’ll make a topic for some recipes if I find the time)
I don’t see the need for a printed manual. Everyone who is ordering this light has access to internet (obviously). Just print the link to the first post of this thread on a small piece of paper and be done with it.
If Thorfire wants to produce a manual for their own version, they can do so later on.
Damn, I want the light …. NOW. 
AGREED. :+1:
My guess is they will be printing the manual at the same time they are building the lights so I don’t see how a manual will extend the delivery time.
Yes. This. Also, Tom E is the one who wrote the firmware. And it is very popular with users on this site. Why shouldn’t the person(s) most familiar with the firmware (at least help) write the manual?
I agree, and think we should have the manual.
Agreed. There will be enough confused people if the manual is included.
If there is no manual the confusion factor will soar.
And I agree that all the answers are in the thread & can be found on the internet.
BUT……. many people will not even read post 1 in this thread for answers thus far.
It won’t get any better if there were no manual included…… :person_facepalming: …
Tom’s idea of included the folded up manual inside the tail cap is really cool, but to be honest it has such small print on it there may be issue reading it. I do like a light to come with a user manual, especially one as potentially complicated as this one, so overall I’m very much in favor of including the manual, just don’t know if the small folding version is critical. A booklet might be better, to be more legible.
FWIW, this small folded one is about the size of a US quarter folded up, albeit slightly thicker.
That sounds maybe too small to be useful? I like the booklet idea.
Well Joechina gave us the foldable cheat sheet
And no it will not delay, both cheat sheet and manual have shortened links to the important Info
It just adds to a professional feel and there is plenty of space in the box for it
