Fenix E Series EDC Flashlights
The Fenix E series is a sub-compact line of LED devices small enough to fit on your key chain but bright enough for everyday tasks.
Thanks for clearing that up
Just saw that the Fenix E01 is no longer available... coincidence?
Ha. I actually just posted in the other forum and asked Fenix Store if the E01 has been disco’d. Still waiting on my Sofirn and good to hear that the “frosting” has hardened up nicely
mission accomplished
Also for the record….I wish they had NOT potted the light so we could mod it with the same emitter that the E01 currently uses
Joking of course.
Thanks for your first impressions all who have already received their lights. Great to see that Sofirn got the potting right for the production models.
I'm looking forward to the red and blue versions, hopefully they'll arrive soon.
Why not a do-it-yourself mod of the Fenix E01?
Because of the potting of the electronics….
OK…. I see what you are referring to now…. the difference in the potting compound used.
That is basically a non-issue to me on these lights, but…. I understand it might give some pause because of making the light basically unmodable. :+1:
I’m kinda slow, so I’m not sure where the video you linked to [It’s good though. ] fits in with ’potting’…… But the video is hilarious!!
Thanks for sharing it…… :+1:

^ did we do that?
Do what? Force Fenix to introduce HI CRI update of E01?
Ali says…
Due to the busy holiday season, packages to your country might have been delayed. Please be patience waiting for the package.
I mean, I have patience. Some (kind souls) may even say that I embody or personify patience. But if you’re asking me to BE PATIENCE, WELL THAT’S JUST GOING TOO FAR!! THESE ARE FLASHLIGHTS WE’RE TALKING ABOUT!!! I want them NOWWWWWWWWWWW!

Would that make the new Fenix a C01 clone? The plot thickens.
^ did we do that? :innocent:
No, Fenix did.
Just to be sure, today I made a phone call to Fenix Netherlands. A nice lady on the phone told me that the status of the Fenix E01 in her computer system was “discontinued”, since autumn 2018. “Discontinued” according to her meant that this specific flashlight is no longer produced by Fenix, and they no longer could order new E01s for sale in the Netherlands. Then I asked her if there would be an updated version of the E01, and she told me she could not find any information about a newer version. Adding: “But we have lots of other new keychain lights, which are actually much brighter, and some even have a usb port…”
If anyone from Fenix management ever reads this message:
You should proudly care for your E01, it deserves your love;
and not silently walk away from your creation, to let it die, alone in the dark.

Has anyone else received their C01s yet?
And if so, what is your first impression?
Nope. Ordered it when it first became available.
Not received yet
I got a shipping notice on Nov 12, 2018
tracking says it was sorted 2 weeks later

it seems the item is still in China
My order is still in China as well.
So only a few in Europe have been delivered yet. Having been so involved in the process, I’m pretty curious how people like them.
I’ll let you know ASAP, I believe I should get mine next week.
