Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

This aint CPF

I guess were are just bored, since all the black friday and cyber monday deals are over.
Canā€™t find a good deal so were discuss the Amazon state tax deal. :stuck_out_tongue:

Just bought a FOLOMOV 18650S with both discounts it was $15.59 ā€”at least I shouldnā€™t have to change the emitter in this one

Right on!

We are discussing an important part of every Amazon deal (additional $ spent) now so itā€™s all legal like and stuff.

Unfortunately I have some experience with this platform of a host and the only thing of substance this flashlight has in common with the Cometa is they are both zoomies. :slight_smile:
This one has pressed in tail switch, hollow pill, dog vomit build quality.
That said, the lens is half decent so maybeeeee you could build something out of it after heavy mods.

I have the ā€œSharp Eagleā€ 3 color dog vomit emitter model, yeah, sheā€™s a real Jem.

Yeah, I wasnā€™t sure on the internals of it. Never had one or anything. Looks can be deceiving of course. Didnā€™t know if it was a good deal or not. The way my luck goes somebody would bring it up a few months from now that itā€™s the best zoomie since zoomieā€™s were cool again and here I let a $9 deal get by me. :slight_smile:

Here is a post I made on a Folomov thread. You can get the 18650S and a free gift for a bit over $15 shipped.

Byeā€¦ we will miss yaā€™ā€¦ā€¦ :beer:

The reviews are great on the metal strengthā€¦ Stainless Steel is strong stuff.

No problem, glad to help :smiley:

FEENM Car Windshield Snow Cover, $2.20 shipped after $2.00 coupon and 70% Vipon code

Doesnā€™t look like the thickest and most protective cover, but wow, for $2.20 it looks like a good value in helping to reduce ice buildup during snow storms :+1:

Youngday Lighter / Rechargeable Electric Arc Lighter

$7.80 with Vipon Coupon

https://m.vipon.com/#/details/5629992

I donā€™t smoke, but Iā€™ve wanted one of these; the price was right so I got it. It came in yesterday & it seems pretty well built.

For the Coupon price it seems like a stealā€¦ā€¦ :wink:

I have had a few brands of lighters like that. Never could get one that actually worked any good. I do still have the habit of smoking, down to less than a pack a day after being a 3 pack a day smoker for 20 years. Anyway, the ones I ended up with didnā€™t have enough space near the arc to light a cigarette evenly. I could only fit one half of the end of the cig so the arc would hit it. Also took forever to get the thing to light paper or anything. I kind of gave up on them. Let me know if that one works any better. I would try one again if I got a good report on one.

Or just use Rain-Xā„¢? :laughing:

Seriously, once we had an ice-storm overnight (at least freezing rain), by morning it looked like I had a huge orange-peel windshield. Gave the windshield a few gentle baps with my elbow to crack the ice (without cracking the windshield, hopefully), and all the pieces just slid off like a fried-egg in a cast-iron skillet.

Never tried AquaPel(?), but ostensibly lasts even longer.

Iā€™d never even considered water repellants/dispersants for auto usage, Iā€™ve used them on shoes before though :slight_smile:

With heavy snow, it seems as if the vinyl protective covers help insulate the windshield a bit and protect them from cracking in below freezing temps.

I have no idea the quality but looks decent.

The Vipon $30 deal for the Wuben TO46R is back. Doesnā€™t have the additional Amazon coupon discount this time, but still a good price.

They pulled a fast one here. That light was reduced to 39.95 +/- 2 days ago, now the price is 59.95 less the 30.00.
Good deal non the less but hate the price manipulation.

Wellp, I recall the alternative, too. Leaving work, got to my car to find it encrusted in ice like a Glazed Doughnut From Hell. Had to chop away ice from the door seams just to open it to get in. Had to have the car fast-idling forever just to get up to temp to try to heat the windshield enough to melt the ice. No go.

Wasted at least a half-hour if not more just trying to get a clear enough view to see through the windshield. Frustratingā€¦

Since then, every time I hear itā€™s even rumored to get below freezing, I reapply RX to all glass my car has, including mirrors and lights.
