Q8, PMS SEND TO THOSE WITH ISSUES BLF soda can light

I received my 30Q batteries… Now I need some lights!

BTW if you order batteries, make sure if they offer the cases… I got 20 individual boxed/bagged/ AND shrink wrapped batteries… I had to cut each one free…
16 more tomorrow…

BrianK and I aren’t too far apart. Mine also arrived today. I will give it a once over, maybe a second over as well.

OK, my trigger finger is suffering from stuttering input syndrome 1/0, +/, yay/nay, sure/un, fun/food
I’ve had my 2nd Q8 in and out of my BG cart ever since I learned my code for 1 that I signed up for was honored for a 2nd
I got my 1st delivered in the 1st batch and didn’t feel right about taking another spot from someone
Butt now that it’s kinda woolly/bully…putup/shutup time, I thought I’d rather support the home team and pulled the trigger
Thank God I can pick my nose again without fear of “PayPal Order Reflex”

Seriously, thanks to all who made this possible.

Now I gotta learn to solder.

Definitely. Production runs, especially on budget items, will have a different pace of assembly, and often parts will be substituted that may not be of equal quality. I don’t judge that by itself. Mainstream brands and huge companies do that too, and sometimes fail.

I don’t mind if my Q8s turn out somehow unfinished. Budget lights I buy will go through a fine tuning process anyway.

1746 pre-orders on Banggood right now. 4 more to go. Well done the team.

Time for bed.

Sorry guys for a dumb question are we still taking orders for the Q8 been out of the loop for a few months in and out of the hospital so did not have time to read all the new posts yet. How where to place order and how much for it. Never saw a final price. Forgive me for not having the energy to read through all the posts I will get around to in the next few weeks.

If you signed up, should have gotten a pm with a code. The Q8 is $40 shipped US, and I think it's still taking orders but supposed to expire today I think, so hurry!!

Would like to say I ordered my two about 2050 central standard time on Sept. 7th. I haven’t received either one yet and I don’t mind

one tiny little bit. I would much rather get mine in good working order than to get them right away and have them not be right. Does anyone know if rosin core solder can be used to solder blob batteries? That’s the only kind I have right now.

Ordered three more of these beauties … Many Thanks !!

Mine will be waiting for me when I get home from work.

To be truly honest, I don’t even care if it has switch problems, because I know The Miller will sort out the guys that have faulty units. If I could have known this ahead of time I’d have just ordered later and got one from the later (delayed) batch that are guaranteed to not have any switch / screw problems.

Ahh well, fingers crossed.

Oh well I was on the list I thought but have no pm or e-mail so I missed out again every time I end up in the hospital for a few weeks I always miss something. They should have just let me expire it would have made me happier than missing this.

LG, that’s the pits! Maybe someone has an extra that they’ll part with.

As of 10 minutes ago code still works.

Doing some cooking Joey?? :wink:
You got your batteries all charged up in anticipation of Q8 arrival?
Sux you had to wait my friend… but it will be worth it.
Plus, you won’t have to deal with any of the minor first 500 issues.
The Q8 design / technical team knocked it out of the park. :wink:
Chin up… What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, as well as more resolute. :slight_smile:

Why is one of the Switch LEDs Orange and the other Green?

A minor glitch, suddenly when I woke up it was orange, must be a first production run model.

PM send
If code doesn’t work anymore, you contact M4DM4X for his code and I pay the difference between $40 and his price.

First 500 of new Q8 ready.
Production in full swing again.
Confirmed shipping via Banggood warehouse to cope with the coming holiday.

Nice :slight_smile:

:+1:

Wait, so is the indicator light ever supposed to be orange/yellow? Are there supposed to be more colours than just green?
