What you got today

2 envelopes for me today. Unsure what's inside since my wife got em from the postman. She did not ask me what it was. :P Looking forward to come home and tear apart the packages.

I got my 3-mode programable AKOray K109 from KD today! It's a pretty nice torch, needed some tweaks here and there but no big deal. The tint of the LED is quite blue, I don't really like the tint much but all in all i'm pretty happy with it. I'll mod it later probably!

Got my Enlan EL-01A and my SRM 763 today! WOW. Beautiful knives! Thanks for the recommendations by those who have mentioned them on the forum here :)

Got any photos? Where did you order them from? Delivery time?

I ordered from exduct, and they shipped on march 13, so less than a month. I am ok with that yup! I will try and get a decent photo or two for ya tomorrow if I can. Its nearing midnight and I have an early morning ahead of me :( But for real, that srm 763 is an absolute BARGAIN! for that price point its unbeatable as far as I am concerned! A perfect EDC. Lightweight, seems very tough, a beautiful axis lock, and I love the bottle opener as a secondary use :D

Got my order of 25 , 4-18650 Holders from digikey, my protected cells fit too!

Today I got a parcel from DX that they sent out on the 10th Feb. I've has one take for ever before, but on that one it noted that insufficient postage had been applied for the weight so instead of going by air it came on that slow boat from China.

This one has come via HK post and has nothing marked on it so who knows why it's taken almost 2months to arrive.

Well, what was in it?

LOL. Good question :bigsmile:

BTW, still waiting my Xeno from BIO shipped 16 feb :bigsmile: Something happend to all orders shipped in mid feb :~

Recieved an order from DX today. 2 xml's on 16mm star (for xml-imizing more of my lights :D), some glass lenses for my tr-801 and similar sized lights, 100 little rare earth magnets, a pack of 10 thermal compound tubes, some lodestar desoldering wire, 2 trustfire flame 18650 and 2 trustfire flame 14500 :) Some diy projects in the future!

Nothing terribly exciting which is why I didn't do anything about it being missing. Just an Ultrafire camo holster for an L2M and some NexTorch grease.

Today I received a Yezl Z1 XML from CNQG (in 12 days), some parts from DX (in 19 days)to do Match's MiniMag mod and some lenses and a charger (in 13 days) from KD. The only fly in the ointment is that KD screwed up my order and send me a 38mm lens instead of the Black Cat that I ordered. Now I will get to experience the quality (or lack thereof) of KDs customer service.

Coming from

Manafont: 5-mode XP-G drop-in (ordered 3-27)

Solarforce.HK: L2 in grey, L2r in black, L2i in grey (ordered 3-27)

Solarforce.HK: L2P in black (ordered 3-30 after they said it was too late to change the L2 to an L2P in the previous order, probably knew I would just get it anyway)

Manafont: yet another 3-mode Ultra Fire XM-L (ordered 4-7)

That still leaves me one drop-in short but my wife is already going to blow a gasket when she sees all this.

Last 5-6 days:

cnQualitygoods: Yezl S5, Yezl S7, Yezl C1

DX: Another multimeter, Sipik sk68, R2 dropin + various little stuff

That's all I remember, I got three more packages but don't even remember from where...

I got some 14500 TF Flames!

My D10s overheat on 14500, especially the Ti with my neutral emitter turning slight blue within seconds :(. On the other hand my budget torch is a different story.

OMG it makes my (first gen) Trustfire R5A3 into a really awesome torch! The original modes on NiMH (100%, 90%, strobe) become (200%, 90%, Strobe) Its just AWESOME now. Beam is still annoyingly doughnutttttty and throw is pretty average, but the sheer output is cool. Its as bright as my V10R on max (which is a known 210 lumens)

The trustfire R5A3 used to be a quiet cool running torch, now its a real output monster! with a nice heavy build, great for thermal mass heat sinking. Dissipation isnt all that great though.

Also got another 5 packages over the week (order individually to make it more fun to received individual parts) including various drivers and more XP-G neutrals.

Im waiting for neutral XM-Ls to be available at KD or such places. Cutter is already selling them, which work out to be $10 each (on a 10mm round 'star') + 15 shipping (effectively flat rate) so if I buy 3 emitters, it works out to be $45 = $15 each for neutrals on good sized bases. Thinking of finding an excuse for a bigger order to justify the shipping.

Can't wait to recieve my 3 763 i ordered.

I have got also 5 driver boards, not 1400 mAh but the new 1560mAh 5-mode version.

I got the same drivers. I measured 1450mA, so I'm not sure why they call it 1560. I was very happy to find they can be switched to 3 modes. Let us know if you're able to get any other mode groups out of it. It's probably just a matter of connecting the correct pins, but I would bet it has 4 mode groups like other NANJG drivers.

brted, please tell me, are the KD drivers with Atmel ATtiny13 processor?

(for re-programming. I need to know before ordering)

They are. More information and pictures here:

Really from Solarforce.HK? or Solarforce-Sales ?

Is there a difference? I don't think so. But if there is, I'd like to know.
