Every time I’ve been tempted to pull the trigger on a fireflies I end up reading about some issue, and the list seems pretty long.
I almost bought a V2 eo7 when I read about the upcoming Cu & Ti versions, so I waited. I almost bought a copper version but nobody had
one in hand yet, so I waited. Now people are getting their lights, and we have “bezelgate”.
Guess I’ll wait some more……
So far I’m a very satisfied non-customer of fireflies lights!!
And their website STILL has no mention of a different metal for the bezel of the copper light!
I waited just like you because of the QC issues. Frankly any company is going to have some of those issues, what I find somewhat refreshing is that they acknowledge the issues. They seem to keep batches small and correct production issues fairly quickly, and honestly I see far better customer service out of them compared to most manufacturers. They should definitely update the website, but sometimes running a small business is hard so I am sympathetic.
Mind weighing a stock, the Ti, and Cu? I ordered a Ti body + Cu head from Vinh and am curious what I’m getting myself into, I was intending it to replace my current E07 as an EDC.
I think what they’re saying is the coated version looks like full copper. If that’s the case they weren’t really being deceitful, it was just an oversite.
Ha! That’s pretty hilarious and shows just how bad Fireflies is at QC, because ANYBODY should have been able to see that one was going out incorrectly. But my ti+cu combo setup came with a titanium bezel, so they didn’t intentionally change the bezel on these lights like they did the full copper.
