Jaxman Z1 Discussion

And you used a driver from Richard to do this?
I just ordered one from him for a 3V Buck set-up, probably have to get another now… I already have some XHP-35’s and 6 of the 26350’s. Didn’t the Z1 come with an extension tube? I forget, my box is stored and I haven’t gone to the issue of getting to it yet. :wink:

Almost gave me a heart-attack.

P.S. But unfortunately it is only a mistake. :frowning:

Yes, I used a 4S-16.8A MTN MAX buck driver set at 2.5A. (I got 2.8A at the tail)
I just ordered another Z1, and it shows an extension is include. My last one included the extension also.

I really wanted to give the XHP-35 a try, but the 12V made it look like a no go. Luckily those 26350 come out at the same time as I got my Z1host, and I was first in line.

Now I’m looking for a good host for a triple.

Sorry. I corrected the wording.

Dale.
I ordered my driver with the 6mm coilcraft inductor for fit. The external inductor is too tall.

This is why it’s nice to have more than one pill (grin)

Glad you brought up the “box” Dale. Could you tell me what kind of box your host came it? I just ordered a factory Z1 and it didn’t come with the factory box shown in the pictures. It came in a plain white box just large enough to fit the light in and the accessories were just loose in the shipping box? Is this normal packaging for recent Z1’s?

Mine came in a brown cardboard box that said Jaxman on it. It had foam compartments that all th individual parts fit into.

Mine did also, both the hosts and the factory built ones. That was a couple of months ago however.

Where did you order it from.

Mine too was the brown box, the nice aspheric and all other parts were in their own slots, nicely done, attention to detail is a caveat with Jaxman. :wink:

Thanks Ouchyfoot and Teacher. The brown logo box is exactly what I had expected. However, it instead came as pictured.

Also, it shipped from Singapore. Is this where your Z1’s shipped from?

I got the two factory built ones from Banggood back before they got banned from carrying them.
I got the two hosts from Jaxman on Aliexpress.
All of them were in the Classic brown box with nice foam padding, I don’t remember any of them shipping from Singapore though.

Where did you order yours from Brett?

Hey buddy, hope you have been doing well. I have been away from here for a while.

I ordered mine from Aliexpress

Store: Suizhou Jaxman Electronics Co.,Ltd

It definitely came from Singapore and it came via AliExpress Standard Shipping. It couldn’t be tracked via USPS, although it did recognize the package was from Singapore. Also, I had to sign for the delivery. The whole thing is very strange.

Yes, I remember seeing how the hosts were packaged; looked very nice! Of course mine being a factory assembled model the aspheric was pre-installed. My aspheric also has a small chip on the outer edge but it does not affect the beam.

Hey my friend, I have been good thank you. Hope everything is OK on your end. :slight_smile:
That is strange??? Let us know if you unravel the mystery?

Was it in good shape when it arrived???

As long as its not damaged no drama right? Who cares about the packaging lol

Hmm though not a drama that “Z1” scribbled box does not look or feel premium.
OK the brown Jaxman box is not a Olight case but opening it and seeing all the parts in their own slot certainly gives the impression of the care that went into the product.

When did you order this?

I ordered another host from Jaxman yesterday. I’ll let you know how it was packaged when it arrives.

I was one of the people who requested a host individually very early on. That was before any group conversation, just because I asked for one directly.

They weren’t really prepared to sell many hosts and filled at least one early order — mine — by sending out the full commercial box package — before they figured out that we’d keep wanting hosts beyond the early few requests.

I asked why I got more than I expected and the reply was it was the easy way to make sure the package got out to me promptly in good shape.

I was and am grateful. I wouldn’t expect that if I buy another host now, as I probably will.

By now they must be organized to set the host parts aside, and send them in the typical padded bags, rather than using the full commercial box packaging.
