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

Yes it can Tom.

Idk the 402, like the analyzing stuff of the lii500
But yes next time I see a deal for it with adapter for ~8 I take one, can be good to have as spare.

I’ve seen somebody mentioning $7.5 for it. I didn’t need it then, now I’m actively searching from time to time in hope such deal will return…

Until I get it a pair of $3.5-$4 Lii-202s will have to do. :slight_smile:

My mailperson messes up too. Packages delivered with the scan indicating the package never left the local post office… packages that show delivery and then show up the next day or by a neighbor… certifies mail being delivered to my box without the green signature card being signed and returned to the post office…. Very sad and irritating. I make a formal complaint for each event; but the situation does not seem to change. Extra sad when I can follow a tracking number from Russia, Germany, the UK, Asia, and see it finally arrive locally then have something go awry! Technology is only as good as the humans involved. I must add that I have not had a package actually never arrive for years.

That is good to know, thanks for sharing that. :+1:

They must have added that since my three packages several years ago.
3 Packages in less than a year, same carrier. :person_facepalming: … She only lasted about a year. No problems before or since thank goodness. :smiley:

Joey, I tend to use the new Rocket (XTAR SV2) the most, it shows a percentage of cell charge so it’s easy to see how much is left or what the status is. It also will charge 2 cells (it’s a 2 bay charger) at 2A, so charging the 26650’s or 32650’s is quicker.

Second to that I use the 4 bay XTAR XP4 at 1A for all 4 bays.

+1 to the Rocket… I have a couple. 2A is great!
Lii 500 for 4 x 1A & analyzing

Yea I noticed the rocket charger at Richards store. That 2A would be nice on some of my 26650s.

My three units from the second batch arrived today and everything looks great!

My Q8 arrived today. I ran through the quick check and found no issues with mine at all. It’s much warmer than what I expected, but that’s not a bad thing…just wasn’t expecting that. Of course I’ll be performing the spring bypass among other things for better output, but out of the box, mine seems perfect…no imperfections or issues.

Good to see V2 arriving and being without obvious flaws!

I wonder if the first 500 all have reached their owners by new.

According to tracking mine has took nearly 2 weeks to have not even left China yet :person_facepalming:

My dad and brother are ecstatic so I have you and the rest of the Q8 team to thank.

And blame, as I’m now on the path to modding. :smiley: It’s a fantastic light as-is but I’ll be trying my hand at spring bypassing thanks to Tom E’s posts in the Q8 modding thread.

Really looking forward to the GT and FW3A now.

Had the itch to buy a new light and luckily stumbled across this (where have I been?) This will be my second BLF light and I had no hesitation forking out the money. The effort and dedication from the people behind developing these special editions lights pretty much guarantees I’m in for a treat! Ordered today and already posted :blush: Der brain me didn’t choose Priority Direct Mail for an extra $2. x2 :person_facepalming:
Looks like I’m joining the order and forget brigade.

Heheh “order and forget brigade” :smiley:

I think I saw somebody else who too started modding that is pretty cool!

Not a chance, I will be lucky if I get it this month, not expecting it until mid November.I think I was number 516 but it shipped within a couple of days, is currently in Johannesburg where it can sit for up to 5 weeks judging by past experience.

Hi!

Sorry for the late reply. It is not much but they are a bit lower yes. 0.75mm if I have to guess

Upon checking in daylight I now found some damage/fabrication flaws ;-(
My first light was perfect in that aspect. think it screwed less smooth because of it too


And the bezel has a few milling errors/flaws where it has been cut out(no that is not a reflection. There are some deeper cuts in there)

Is this bezel black?

Hoping that's just shadows. They supposedly changed the spring design - would love to hear or see pics of the new springs.

Thanks rayman, it is reassuring that the new screws are still under ring-level. And those imperfections, well, it is still Thorfire making the Q8 for limited money, I’m actually happily surprised how little of those imperfections have been found until now.
