My stuff actually arrived yesterday!

Olight I3s from WB + 2 other packages from WB + packages from IOS and CNQ (those was ordered around 2 weeks ago) :party:

Looks like lots of stuff had to wait for the same plane or something and suddenly everything arrived.

Strange though, because my replacement I4 charger that WB sent me arrived in less than 2 week. And that was shipped weeks after the instant kill sale. (btw, me case was handled perfectly and was solved faster than FT usually manages to reply to a ticket)

So even my absolute slowest WB packages have made it within a month.

Placed new order from them today.

WB + item that is marked to leave soon + registered shipping= usually very good arrival time

Packages without registered shipping are more random based on my experience. Some are super fast, some are slow… Average time is good.

Yes, that’s exactly how mine went too! Stuff ordered at different times arrives all together…weird!! :~

My Yezl S7 finally arrived yesterday.I know why they call it instant kill.This flashlight will kill me
It is as heavy as a 18650 flashlight(good for self defense)
I’ve never seen so poorly assembled flashlight.Look at the front O-ring on the pics.
I’m pleasantly surprised of the driver.Only 2 sec to memorize the last used mode.
Nice smooth reflector,but it is on a side and over a part of the LED
The yellow ring between the parts is rusty.

FlashLion, I’m hoping you got a great deal on that light!

The emitter MCPCB in the S7 is not epoxied down. You can easily re center it.

You’re not alone, so just be patient for a couple more days

LOL I see someone has experience with their customer service department.

My SF 16340 arrived in 7 days…

Lucky you.

Oh, that looks bad. Hope mine performs better. Have barely used it.

I was skeptical to that battery. I was supposed to buy a Efest or Nitecore battery for my 0,89$ Fenix E15 (thanks Wallbuys), but then I saw that battery and though. “Ill give it a shot.” It was so cheap on instant kill, and I assumed/hoped Solarforce did not use crap cells…

Ill do a discharge test on a hobbycharger…

My cell was full at 4,13 volt or something, charged in Xtar VP1. Lowest I have ever seen…

You guys should check these out:

solarforceflashlight-sales.com

Performs like a 18350….the all-white ones seem to be crap.

[RaceR86]

My white solarforce was crap!

309mA at 1A discharge... :Sp Voltage was sinking like a ship within the first minute.. I dont care if other Solarforce batteries may be decent. No more solarforce batteries for me..

Question now is, Nitecore or Efest IMR?

Im tempted on Efest, might pick up a 10440 too.

@Horst Horstmann

For anything smaller than a 18650 I’ll stick with the Efest IMR’s.

Any pros/cons on Nitecore vs Efest 16340?

[tallboybass]

I know you didn’t ask me, but the Solarforce blue&white 16340, while being a bit over-sized, beats Efest, AW, Keeppower…never seen Nitecore tested.

Totally understand if you’ve been burned on SF though, I’d be the same way.

[tallboybass]

I love IMRs myself…and at 2A the Efest IMR 16340 does hold voltage way better, until around 3.35v when the SolarForce keeps going, ending up at 626 vs. 430 for the Efest.
