Jon, Iām not dissing the C01 at all, just that the threads and o-ring on my 7-year-old ECDād E01 āfeelā better. I never said one is better than the other at all.
I understand, agree, and hope you took no offense at my sense of humor.
The difference in āfeelā you are experiencing (and I agree there IS a difference in feel),
is Only because of the differences in the O rings.
The āfeelā has absolutely nothing to do with the threads, which are equally sloppy on both brands, as demonstrated by my rollAlight videos (which are with O rings installed btw).
you could put your Fenix head on your Sofirn body, and the āfeelā will match the Fenix Bodyā¦ its the O ring, not the threadsā¦ reallyā¦
dont take my word for itā¦ check for yourselfā¦ it could be a real eye opener, it was for me
Lumintop also has a magnetic tail cap for the Tool AAA in black. I know because I ordered one. I just canāt remember who I got it from, it think it was Ebay.
Mine arrived to Portugal today (supposedly)! (Ordered on 10th November)
Letās see how long until it arrives home!
At least it is not completely lostā¦
Only now they are shipping it?
Sorry for the long wait you and other members are also suffering :zipper_mouth_face:
Surely will be an old new gift for 2019!!!
It indeed a complete mystery how shipping from China sometimes works.
I ordered my CO1ās 21 November and they arrived 27 Decemberā¦ā¦ 36 days.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
On a side note, to illustrate my point; on 11 December I placed 4 seperate orders with Banggood in the span of 20 minutes.
Each order contained 2 x Lumintop EDC01.
One order was sent to Cardiff Wales UK with PAID shipping & Tracking. It arrived 18 Decemberā¦. 7 days.
One order sent to Glencoe, AL USA with FREE shipping & no Tracking. It arrived 26 Decemberā¦ā¦ 15 days
The remaining two orders were sent to Glencoe, AL USA both with PAID shipping & Tracking. According to Trackingā¦. neither of those packages have even reached the USA yetā¦ā¦
Sooooā¦ this time anyway:
Paid Banggood shipping to the UK was pretty quick.
FREE Banggood shipping to the USA was pretty quick also.
PAID Banggood shipping to the USA was a complete waste of money.
You just never know about shipping from CHINA to the USAā¦. unless it is DHL of course. But that is expensiveā¦ $$$ ā¦
Oh yeah, the reason 4 orders were placed is because the code I used had a limit of 2 units per order. BUTā¦ the code could be used multiple times.
It purely depends on the arm strength of the one who rows the boat. I hear the guy who handled the orders from Nov 10th had 1 arm stronger than the other and was going in circles.
