Jon, Iām not dissing the C01 at all, just that the threads and o-ring on my 7-year-old ECDād E01 āfeelā better. I never said one is better than the other at all.
I understand, agree, and hope you took no offense at my sense of humor.
The difference in āfeelā you are experiencing (and I agree there IS a difference in feel),
is Only because of the differences in the O rings.
The āfeelā has absolutely nothing to do with the threads, which are equally sloppy on both brands, as demonstrated by my rollAlight videos (which are with O rings installed btw).
you could put your Fenix head on your Sofirn body, and the āfeelā will match the Fenix Bodyā¦ its the O ring, not the threadsā¦ reallyā¦
dont take my word for itā¦ check for yourselfā¦ it could be a real eye opener, it was for me 
got mine today after ordering on 11-23-18.
still in shock.
Hope you will recover soon 
+1 . :+1:
āstill in shockā ā¦ Hmmm, is that a good thing or bad thing?? :question:
Well, it looks like I have a long wait ahead of me. I ordered mine December 10th. It has been stuck in the GUANGZHOU Sorting Center since 12-12.
Lumintop also has a magnetic tail cap for the Tool AAA in black. I know because I ordered one. I just canāt remember who I got it from, it think it was Ebay.
I ordered November 10 and mine is also still in Guangzhou. Iām on ābuyer protectionā extension #3.
I wish you luck.
Mine arrived to Portugal today (supposedly)! (Ordered on 10th November)
Letās see how long until it arrives home!
At least it is not completely lostā¦
Two ordered Nov. 10th just became āDispatchedā
Only now they are shipping it?
Sorry for the long wait you and other members are also suffering :zipper_mouth_face:
Surely will be an old new gift for 2019!!!
It indeed a complete mystery how shipping from China sometimes works. 
I ordered my CO1ās 21 November and they arrived 27 Decemberā¦ā¦ 36 days.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
On a side note, to illustrate my point; on 11 December I placed 4 seperate orders with Banggood in the span of 20 minutes.
Each order contained 2 x Lumintop EDC01.
- One order was sent to Cardiff Wales UK with PAID shipping & Tracking. It arrived 18 Decemberā¦. 7 days.
- One order sent to Glencoe, AL USA with FREE shipping & no Tracking. It arrived 26 Decemberā¦ā¦ 15 days
- The remaining two orders were sent to Glencoe, AL USA both with PAID shipping & Tracking. According to Trackingā¦. neither of those packages have even reached the USA yetā¦ā¦
Sooooā¦ this time anyway:
- Paid Banggood shipping to the UK was pretty quick.
- FREE Banggood shipping to the USA was pretty quick also.
- PAID Banggood shipping to the USA was a complete waste of money.
You just never know about shipping from CHINA to the USAā¦. unless it is DHL of course. But that is expensiveā¦ $$$ ā¦ 
Oh yeah, the reason 4 orders were placed is because the code I used had a limit of 2 units per order. BUTā¦ the code could be used multiple times.
Oh my. Well thanks for perspective. I hope everyone gets their orders soon.
My pleasureā¦ for what it is worth.
It makes no sense to me why I received my CO1āS (ordered 21 November) before people who ordered 10 November. :person_facepalming:
No rhyme or reason for sureā¦ā¦ 
. 
But such are the pitfalls of shipping from China sometimesā¦
Hope yāall get them soon. :+1:
The more you post, the quicker they ship.
You wishā¦.
actually, the more you post, the Longer it takes for the lights to arriveā¦ LOL!
my lights already arrived because I āonlyā have about 500 posts per year
your lights have not arrived, because you make āalmostā 2,500 posts per year
Ordered november 10th, received november 26th.
For me BLF is pretty much the only part of the universe where things go well (almost) all of the time.
LOL.
It purely depends on the arm strength of the one who rows the boat. I hear the guy who handled the orders from Nov 10th had 1 arm stronger than the other and was going in circles.
