Now you guys got me think'n - did I break the seals on the 2 minis and clean them up? Maybe I should check my notes. Right now, the 2 minis are hand tightened and threads clean. One I bought from Neal - not sure bout the other one, so maybe that was a sample?
I received my GT Mini CW last week and the bezel is unglued, thankfully because the gasket around the LED was out of place giving a little off-center hot-spot…
For statistics…
I have two Mini, both NW.
The first, from Neal, bought on 16.07.2018.
The second, from BG, 14.09.2018.
None has the bezel glued (very tight but no glue).
Oddly I was able to open up my GT70 bezel with no problems either.
I did just get my GT Micro from the DHL truck this morning. I ordered it with the KeepPower 1000mAh cell from Neal’s; pretty quick shipping from confirmation to delivery. Have the cell charging now; can’t wait to try it out!
Ordered and payed feb23 from Neal, nothing happened since, no light sent out for a month
As one of the very first enthousiasts for this light it is a bit more difficult than normal to stick to my motto with chinese purchases “it comes when it comes”.
I ordered mine a few days later than you. I sent him an email 2 days ago asking if my order had gone through, I received an email from him the next day saying it had and a shipping email not long after.
I’m happy for you that yours is shipped but should not take an email to get the ball rolling of course. When the gtmicro was announced available and I bought one, they should have been really available, this is not how it should be.
Very weird… I ordered the day Martin announced they were ready for sale at Neal’s. Really wasn’t in a rush to get it, so I was pleasantly surprised when I got the confirmation email last week. I was also expecting snail mail, until I got a DHL notification. Possible issues fulfilling orders or just getting them produced?
Started playing around with mine. I do like the ramping UI a lot, as I was introduced to it with the GT and GT70 and then Mini. Must resist the temptation to tinker with it, as I end up doing with all my lights….
As usual there is no pattern in which order they were sent out. That is fine with me, I know no better after 6 years on the forum. Thanks Tom for mentioning my order to Neal, that is good for me, Neal may have a look into it and make sure I’m on the next batch. But not good for someone else who did not complain and will move one spot down the list.
