GB Clone Offically "SOLD OUT" 10/21/18 XPL HI 1300LM Focusing AKA Cometa 2016

Finally, mine shows shipped, but I have no confidence in that at this point.

Mine says drop shipped. So that means it comes straight from the supplier?

Mine shipped Sep/23 but I don’t think included the ‘gift’ 18650 (gift in Swedish can mean both poison/venom and married)

How appropriate

In German language the word "Gift" is always and only used for poison/venom. ;-)

Unbelievable! Delivery within the week from BG - as long as it’s a dodgy product. Clamp meter ordered four weeks ago only just made it to Sydney. 8x30Q ordered in August, hasn’t updated since leaving China 4th Sept. Broken light that can self destruct at any moment - Express Delivery!

LOL at least it a cheap bomb.

Be careful with the B-word! :wink:
Otherwise IATA might blacklist the Cometa for carry-on luggage soon. :stuck_out_tongue:
(now it all makes sense why they call it “Cometa”)

Order Number: 550235xx (XPL HI 1300LM Foucsing LED Flashlight Suit+Vappower 26650 Battery)
Back Order :frowning:

I ordered the one with 26650 battery in 3B+those freebie 18650’s. On 19.9 it said backorder but on 25.9 it updated to shipped! I got an tracking number also. Fingers crossed…

Order w/o cells is ostensibly shipped, got a tracking#.

Order w/ the vapes is still “back-ordered”.

Should be interesting to watch this unfold. :smiley:

I remember reading about the Cometa debacle not long after I joined BLF… was it a milk jug that fixed the shorting issue??

Anyway, I just ordered 2 units… and a gallon of milk.

My 1A was shipped but 3B was cancelled (both with 26650) :person_facepalming:

Seems to be a real lottery…

click bait. Lights with extra’s don’t ship out but the “bare” lights still get sold with all the commotion going on around here.

My 1A tint says shipped Sep 26.

Arguably, Jaxman Z1 became CPFItalia Cometa 2016.
No, I do not want to argue.

Some of the Cometa had problems fairly easy to solve; maybe these too.

Here CPF member KeepingItLight entry #9 explains 3 potential problems so well, it almost fixes them for you.

Hmm, so that’s why I got hit in the head with a rock…

:smiley:

:person_facepalming: LMAO!

:smiley: :+1:

Wow, it actually landed. :laughing:

Yup. The freebie 26650 is shipped in the light in a small plastic bag, no 18650 gift :frowning:

Looks like they fixed at least one problem

Love the 3B, the 1A is HARSH

The thick oring on the bottom came in the 3B. Couldn’t tighten the tailcap enough to get a circuit so had to use one of the spares, top.

The threads were freshly greased so guessing the original oring had deteriorated. Took the bezel off and dropped the lens! Small chip. The bezel oring was cactus so will replace that later. Now to watch vids and read up on the problems and fixes to see if they sorted everything. Any quick tops on how to get the top off?
