The There Are No Stupid Questions Thread

Damn, thought I might find Arnold Schwarzenegger or Kanye West on here…

Yep, it’s not a question that can be answered by the citizens.

:beer:

I have no idea how legit that light and battery are but there are a lot of products that can be made and sold dirt cheap if you don’t care about the quality or brand. Here is a pack of penlights (no batteries though) for about $18:

Its cheap as hell but doesn’t mean I’d want it for personal use.

The water content in weeds is very high. Water doesn’t like to burn.

I use a propane torch on graveled areas instead of herbicides to avoid chemicals.

I only singe the weeds very quickly with the torch and that is enough to kill the exposed foliage from the interior moisture in the weed bursting the plant's cells.

The weeds do grow back since the roots do not heat up enough to be killed but after a few times getting the foliage's attention with the torch about once a week the weeds do seem to eventually die.

Or a single squirt of Round Up lol…

I put Reeses Cups in the freezer so a cold Halloween might not be a bad thing .

Why doesn't the rest of the world get rid of the metric system ?

If the mind is the devils playground .. Does that explain the monkey bars and the slide inside my head ?

<< that's evil right there !

How very American of you :smiley:

Don’t you know that the US already is using the metric system?

They just like to convert it back to the imperial system.

Girls push!

Chemicals are quicker but could make you sicker and also maybe richer:

There are alternatives…plus after paying 10 billion you think they haven’t rectified the problem?

What ?? You have rectifying problems ?

No, only rectum problems :smiley:

It seems to me like the actual force of the jet coming from a propane torch blows a lot of the heat out and away when you have it close to something. I’ve never had good luck with using them for weeds either.

Personally I’m going to keep using chemical weed killers. The studies on them, litigation that followed, and media portrayal of both aren’t really painting the whole picture:

Is nextool and nextorch the same company ? I cant find anything on nextool’s history or origins.

Hello, Im new to the forum.

Wondering if anyone who understands batteries can tell me if the 18650 from an Olight S2R Baton II Will work in the Manker MC13?

The Manker website just says:

Kindly note: This item has included 1x Manker high drain 18350 battery with Type-C USB charging port.

Kindly note: If you select ’yes’ under item option ’ with 18650 tube’, you can also use 18650 battery in your hand. We highly recommend you to buy high quality high discharge 18650 battery

I mean, I assume it will “work” but will it work properly? Are there any risks involved? Could I harm either the battery or the flashlight?

Any info is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Okay, so to clarify, your talking about using the 18650 tube on the Manker MC13 so they both use the same size battery?

I don’t have either light so I did some quick research on them. The Olight battery is a specialized unit that has both positive and negative on the positive end and is also a button top. I believe that it should work in theory on the MC13, but there is a very real concern that the spring on the head of the MC13 could bend or tilt and make contact with both the positive and negative on that Olight battery and cause a direct short which could be disastrous. I would not take this risk. I would just get a regular 18650 battery.

Thanks for the response and info.

The Manker MC13 comes with an 18350, and has an optional 18650 tube I have also ordered with it.
I cant be sure what size 18650 the Manker tube will accept yet. I ordered it a few days ago and its still in the mail.
The website doesn’t specify beyond what I quoted in my posted question above.

You say my olight battery has both positive and negative on the same end.
Is that what “dual polarity” means?
Maybe I could cover the end of the battery in electrical tape so only the button top was exposed?
The other end of the battery is still a metal contact.

I know the Olight batteries in the Warrior X Pro and M2R Warrior Pro are modified in such a way those flashlights cannot even use any other battery. However, I’m pretty sure my S2R Baton II can at least use other 18650’s but just cant charge them. So I’m not sure its AS modified as the ones in those two flashlights.

What actually made me even consider this may not work is the fact that the 18350 the Manker comes with is 10A, and my Olight Battery doesn’t say what amperage it is. (I don’t know anything about batteries and their ratings)
Manker’s website just says to use a quality high drain battery. It doesn’t specify to use a 10A Battery

Unfortunately the whole reason I chose the Manker MC13 with the 18650 tube was because I have two of these S2R Baton II 18650’s and expected to just be able to use them…
