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

Yes, preorder is gone but you can still buy it. Just wanted to know which batch I’m getting.

I find it easy - from OFF, press&hold til the switch LED goes out, release quickly, the do a quick click - works every time for me. Also, it won't effect your previous saved level.

Ohh - first batch of 500 was gone weeks ago, actually in the first few hours of them on sale on Sep 7th. So 2nd batch is all there is now. How many in the 2nd batch have been made? Well, definitely 1500 or 2000 -- this is where I'm confused. Originally it was supposed to be 2000 pieces total, but they eluded to a 2nd batch of 2,000 following the first 500 piece batch, so did they mean 2,000 more or 2,000 total? I dunno - lost in translation...

If it was 2,000 total, we are under 100 remaining. If 2,500 total, then there's a lot of stock remaining.

Edit: I confirmed coupon codes are still good! But think'n not for long. Think this is an oversight, or grace period.

The saga continues… Today (Monday) is a holiday and the post office is closed… :person_facepalming: This is kinda frustrating/nerve wracking… I guess it is what it is… Keep posting pics people! I need some satiation.

At first, before the pre-order button, there was one to receive a notification by mail when the Q8 will be in stock.
I received this mail yesterday :

Mooooohhahhhahhhaah !…my 2nd & 3rd from 2nd batch are already on the way, thanks a lot BLF team !!!

Hi my friend.

I have the red ones with raised top they are great. I like Sanyo 18650GA because they have a raised top and they work in botton top and flat top.

Best regards my friend

Crap…. I forgot it was a Holiday for the USPS… THAT is why my mail man has not run. :smiley: Thanks for the reminder. :slight_smile:

Sorry to hear your saga goes on. Was hoping the “honest neighbor” thing was gonna work in your favor.
Good luck & hopefully tomorrow will bring you some Q8 joy. :slight_smile:

Hi, well I have the red pill, ie a little raised top, they are great work as flat top and button top :+1: . I like Sanyo 18650GA and they are about 3500 mAh.

I wanted my Samsung 30Q and it was on delivery to me but it seams its really hard to get batteries to Europe.
Why doesnt banggood start a European shop for batteries ?

Thanks

Congrats, expect PM incoming in an hour or two
This is cool, you clearly are a long time member who doesn’t say much,
It is an honor you talked in this thread and a joy to see you win!

Yup, it still works! Ordered my second one! Hopefully no screw issues this time…

Barry asked when to stop the groupbuy this morning (for me) AMD I replied when they want since all have had the chance to get it by now
So don’t expect it to continue for all that long.

Did anyone get the latest pre sale number?

On 8th October 23:00 UTC+2 time there were 1877 pre orders. I think it went up to around 1882 some hours later, not sure.

thanks!

PM send to the Q8 GAW winners.
Some of the team decided to donate their share to Mrs Lumens or the BLF special fund.
Some of the helper BLFers did the same
Will update the figures (so how much goes to Mrs Lumens and BLF fund at a later time.
It is really awesome how this is handled, thanks! Heartwarming!

Thanks. Tricky timing but much better than the 2% success I was having when trying to switch it off during the blink which worked nearly 100% with two blinks.

My tracking looks just like Rob_K’s, one in Los Angeles having cleared customs and the other two in Hong Kong waiting for a ride.

Congratulations to the GAW winners!

Don’t anyone in the States expect a package today as it’s a government holiday. Happy Columbus Day!

Picked up mine today at the post office and went through the checklist as thoroughly as I wanted.
LED’s very well centered.
No rough spots outside, only a single tiny ding on the anodizing near the button (nitpicking).
Indicator light works for now at least.
All I did was some light sanding of the battery tube edges to prevent battery wrapper damage and of course some Nyogel for the threads and o-rings.

Overall, a quality specimen so far, zero complaints. Thanks everyone involved for making this happen!

This is such an awesome group. Congrats all!
