It showed in stock when I ordered it. It even showed in stock after I cancelled the order. I would have tried to order again, but the price wasn’t $26 anymore. Strangely, I had also ordered a pair of sunglasses for color blindness and the same thing happened. Maybe the Amazon gods are angry at me for some reason…
For what you get for the money, it is hard to beat the C8+ sst40 for under $20, that’s for sure. However, I do feel that a more apples to apples comparison would be the C8+ vs the GT Mini and not the Micro. The Micro being smaller and utilizing a 14500 cell sort of puts it into a different category IMO.
Yes it is! Been playing with the Micro all weekend. With the right cell, about as much lumens as it’s bigger brother, Mini. Many neighbors were very impressed by the mini. As am I, of course.
I went from an Ultrafire 14500 cell to the Shockli cell and there was a pretty significant bump in output for me. Clearly noticeable. A friend of mine has the Mini and we couldn’t tell the difference in output and throw between the Mini and the Micro while out playing around over the weekend. I’m well aware that it will be difficult if not impossible to tell by vision alone the difference of a couple hundred lumens at that point, but both lights looked the same in output with very similar throw. I am thoroughly impressed by the Mini using this cell.
Oh I forgot to add….I do like the EBL’s. I have some as well and they seem to work in just about anything I put them in supporting 14500. They are work horses for sure.
Haha. I remember once when I was with with my brother and his friend. I got out my MH20GT and pointed at a creamish coloured building over 100 metres away. He start started laughing…then I turned it on.
I tested the Micro with good 14500 like the WindyFire and Shockli cells and the output is MUCH higher than with the Sanyo 14500. I think I remember actual output was only about 15% difference between the Mini and Micro. Pretty incredible. Also Vapcell just released a new 14500 1000mah at a whopping 10A! If it test out to be true, this would be a game changer.
Woah! According to Vapcell’s website, it is released as of Jan. 7th. So now the hunt begins for yet more cells. Not sure which at this point will bankrupt me quicker, the flashlights or the batteries that power them. :person_facepalming:
I got both, but generally carry the non-GT for a better all-around beam (especially close-in), but was tempted to carry the ’GT on occasion, especially when going anywhere “woodsy”.
The ali vapcell store. Two of the 1000mAh”10A” cells are 13 dollar shipped. They have many slightly different listings and are a bit sneaky because sometimes there’s a shipping fee, sometimes not
The GT version is quite good for it’s size. Don’t have it anymore though. Sold my L16 as well. Realised that it’s too throwy. Gna get either the FW21 Pro or EC03 for general EDC and later on a next gen LEP for when I need want extreme throw.
