Thanks shirnask, is it me with my untrainedeyes or do these solderings look not all that good?
Yes, and I want to thank those who have waited with their second or more ordering till the pre order counter was above 500 to have more people receive one from the first batch!

Oh boy, so not only are weabout to render their TN42 obsolete, their TN30 is set aside…. Dang they must really starting to get annoyed by now

You better run the set down, and then measure voltage on each of them, there is a big chance not all are making contact, meaning you could end up with empty and full cells in the same tube, not ideal to say it mildly
Proof of the unreliableshiiping and tracking info, order and forget really is best.

Auch, when using a new knife it only feels like a bond is formed when it has drawn a little of my blood (my wife does not understand this but it is how I experience it ) but a flashlight shouldn’t draw blood
Anyone has this too? And please check the mentioned area.
And finally, OP updated with:
TWEAK
On some Q8 lights there can be a sandblasting powder residue under the tailpcb and in the screwholes for the tail pcb mounting screws.
On some Q8 lights there can be some sort of glue residue in the screwholes for the tail pcb mounting screws.
No worries it is not conductive, but that does mean there can be bump in output achieved when removing and cleaning it. The screws are very tight, USE A MATCHING SCREWDRIVER AND RUBBER BAND BETWEEN SCREW AND SCREWDRIVER TO AVOID STRIPPING!
Thorfire will clean better during the rest of the production.
CHECK
Answer. yes some lube is very likely required, please add your favorite flavor. Good point about tube, please use file and/or sandpaper to smoothen things out if too rough for your liking.
