I let The Miller know and he made a record of the problem.I made certain he knew about my issue.
After some time I received a PM from The Miller (with a CC to Thorfire). In that PM Thorfire was informed of what corrective action I needed and they were given my mailing address.
Some weeks later (about 5 weeks IIRC) I received an envelope in the mail. In it was a switch board complete with switch and led’s as well as a plastic/nylon tool for removing and replacing the switch button retaining ring.
If The Miller knew of the issue anyone had, I would have thought the same process should have happened.
Tom E can I get an update on my Q8. I hate to post here but you said the modifications were finished on 11/13-2017 and you just had testing to do. I have sent pms and emails but no response. I figured something got lost in the shuffle but I thought I should say something before it is lost permanently. My q8 was the one sent already in the grenade pouch and original q8 box. You received it on 11/11/17 via USPS padded envelope. I hope everything is well with you.
I am still loving this light, its become my favorite. No issues whatsoever.
Lights things up like crazy! Been showing it to couple people and they are super impressed
Let me guess, you ordered flat top versions of the VTC6? If so, you will need to add solder blobs to the positive posts to raise them higher than the wrapper.
Yes you are right, but adding a small solder blob is not so problematic.
Also I have seen here that the Samsung with a solder top seem to give better contact than the button top Samsung cells.
I’m using samsung 30Q flat top cells in my Q8, the Q8 is working without problems. Can I continue to use flat top cells or do I have switch to button top cells?
