Ok, ordered 4 of these, full set, for total of $85. The US/EU adapter thing is a bit sketchy there but looks ok from the pics. Should have ordered these weeks ago :FACEPALM:
I bought my Lii-500 from them and they sent me a EU adapter (I live in Canada). There was no option to select the adapter so i was thinking they would send the adapter according to my country, but they didnāt. You might want to send them a message to make sure they send you the US adapter.
My BLF Q8 order history:
Submitted 9/7/17
Payment Confirmed 9/7/17
Processed 9/7/17
Sometime after that it went to āBack-orderā
Thenā¦ Shipped 9/28/17
Iām assuming during that production halt anyone that hadnāt had their light shipped out wouldnāt be receiving one before the Sideswitch LED issue was looked into and would receive a post fixed one? Hopefully we can get some āpatch notesā after chinese holiday and some sort of maybe version number differentiation in the boxes so we know they are a post fix unit without digging into it. I know that wonderful in-depth guide was posted which allows us to look into everything and making sure it is functioning as intended but maybe for a peace of mind there will be a way to tell right off the bat if itās a unit that slipped through the cracks or was post patch.
Anxious to receive my unit in the next few days! Iām much more excited than I am worried at this point though!
PSA: DO NOT DO THIS without isolating one side of the battery.
Didnāt even consider it a few years ago when I wanted to measure the length of a cell. No real damage, bit it did get exciting for a second.
The Enova Gyrfalcon is an 8 bay charger that does a good job. I have two Enova All-80 8 bayās and the Gyrfalcon. And several XTARās. And the Opus. And an Efest 6 bay. Andā¦
Tried all the methods suggested by the good folks here with no luck. Pics of the second batch in the wild lead me to believe it shouldnāt be too long till ours show up.
Of my 3, one is being played with at the Hong Kong Airport and the good people in the Chinese postal community are testing my other two, prior to letting the Airport personnel have their go.
Nice. I donāt know if my similar looking case I had already forgotten about is the exact same(bought separately, donāt have the SC01), but it will actually fit two sets of spare cells packed in the Nitecore NBM40 holders. Iāll check if it also fits the Q8 with them later on, I left the Q8 in my car. :person_facepalming:
I got a 20 digit also tied up being sorted in HK for 2 days, and one 30 digit with no clue how to trace it, message left with BG bout it and no answer yet.
i doubt there will be any clue in packaging. From pics who recv'd the new ones, should be able to tell easily by the screws holding down the driver - 1st batch had flat heads, 2nd batch has round panheads - thinks that's what they are called. Screws seen under the tailcap were changed the same way.
It wonāt probably be that dangerous, but not a pleasant surprise either. Itās easy to short a cell when trying to measure even if itās wrapped around the edges on negative end.
Using some tape or a piece of flat plastic is quite easy with the digital caliper pictured above, even if you want to be super accurate. Just isolate the ends, zero, and measure.
