Some good news for Niwalker fans to look forward for this week.

NIWALKER GAW !!! 3 lights (VOSTRO, MM18JR, and C11) will be given away in BLF!
I will create a separate thread for it. Please don't get too excited yet! Just for the heads up, group buy participants will have double the chance of wining the GAW.
EVENT-02:
Niwalker would like to participate in their development process for two of their upcoming new lights. Participants will be able to purchase their new lights near cost price during launch.

I order Niwaker MM18III on 3-04-18. I don't know when they will ship?

Check your PayPal transaction, I received my order tracking information and shipping status from Niwaker by PayPalās āDetails about your shipmentā.
Finally got my Niwalker thrower. Build quality is nice but switches are not very responsive or should say mode changing is very unstable or accidental. I encounter one time it totally canāt be switched on no matter long press, short click and wait, etc. I took out the battery carrier and measured 16.3v, put it back, still couldnāt be switched on. And I was like āF! Dead in 5 minutes?ā I disconnected the battery tube again and twisted it as tight as before, it switched on. Now I programmed switch B to turbo and avoid using main switch.
Good news is to my eyes I think it easily hit over 550kcd. I didnāt bother to measure it.
Beside throw, I am impressed by its light weight, very usable weight. It heats up fast in Turbo within a few minutes, nice.
I have already feedback to them last week. I suspect it is the silicon underneath the switch plus timing issue for programming. They said they will improve the design for the next batch.
Ya, I too suspect it is contact and timing problem that cause the FW to behave oddly.
It seems to be slow to switch on the green LED on the main switch too.
Besides this, I like this flashlight a lot. Thank you for this GB.
I bought two Vostros and been thinking about those other lights and maybe one each of the other two if possible.
Besides the already mentioned switch problems I really do like the Vostros but I do believe Iād have preferred the old style with what I was told had a magnetic ring like the ThruNites I have, those switches are rather pointless, they look fancy, but really sort of a waste and really donāt work well so Iāll be changing them all out.
The best thing I just loved about this GB was the shipping speed, I didnāt get much of a notice from Niwalker but I was notified that my lights had shipped and then they were here in just 3 days.
Iāve only seen that once before when I placed a massive order with Maxtoch for our new search and rescue team lights that I ordered and Mactoch shipped them by DHL and it was the same thing, 3 days and suddenly they appeared, I was just as stunned then as I was this time,
I canāt imagine how they can do that but they do and can and all for just $25, what a great deal,
Iām a very happy and grateful member of this group buy thatās for sure and so thanks again Mr Freeme, you do such a great job on your GBās.
Garyā¦.
Deal is still available. Subscribe this thread if you wish to receive more updated group buy news in future.
There have been some concern regarding the buttons. Manufacturer said they might consider to replace them with control ring. You guys do leave a comment for your preference. Niwalker is gathering our BLF Niwalker owners (soon to be owners ) to improve on their up-coming lights. VOSTRO design has been well-received by the public, so they are going to put more effort to improve and expand this series.
We might have a few minor hiccups but I was glad that majority of the buyers received their lights within a reasonable time frame. If there is anything you would like us to improve on, please do not hesitate to feedback to us.
