Your BLF Avatar

I am still undecided. no idea what I should pick.

If you're a fan of Cyberpunk 2077, how about an image from that?

Mine is a photo of a flashlight I modded years ago.

It is an Aleto N8 budget 18650 zoomie, with a number of mods:

  • e-switch driver
  • aspheric replaced with fresnel lens
  • tailcap shortened and mechanical switch removed.
  • side electronic switch added
  • Emitter swapped to XPL HI
  • gold anodizing removed.
  • black rubber grip added around body tube.
  • The mods shortened the overall length of the light by about an inch. Some time after taking this photo I shortened it even more and added grey Duracoat and a metal switch button. This resulted in an overall length of something like 87mm, making it the world’s shortest 18650 zoomie. Unfortunately, I shortened it a bit too much and the tailcap threads are no longer quite as secure as I’d like.

I really liked this budget zoomie as a mod host. It’s one of the smallest 18650 zoomies made. It also had some nice features that other similar-size zoomies lacked, such as heat sink fins on the body tube.

The downside is this particular host was extremely rare. I only found it on one listing on Ebay and then never saw it again. This host in AA/14500 format is super-common (or at least it was a few years ago), but the 18650 version like this one was ludicrously hard to find.

I’ve examined many different 18650 zoomies to use as possible alternative mod hosts. But I’ve never found one that I liked as much as this one.

I am a fan of cyberpunk, the sci-fi genre. thanks for the idea, just picked a random one.

High tech low life?

That hits a little too close to home for me.

I wanted something historical that most of us remember. No plan to change.

Ok , finally put one up . My logo .

For now it’s a modded neck !! knife; cuz Iiiii like it.

That’s spaghetti sauce.

Mine is a picture of monument from my home town.

At first there was big bus/tram transfer stop:

It’s colourful, so got a nickname “unicorns stable”.

There’s city budget dedicated to multiple different ideas and local society can vote which of them will come into realisation.
And Monument of Unicorn won hearts of citizens :smiley:


Actually, at first it supposed to be family of unicorns, but at the end we have this monument created by Japan artist Tomohiro Inaba.

I really like it, rarely funny and unconventional ideas like this are implemented in my home town.

My avatar is just me playing with a canoe, something I like to do and do a lot.

I will probably change it when I find a better one or one I like better.

Indeed a great place to be :wink:
I was there in December 2018, in the first day that snowed :wink:

Unicorn monument was not there yet, so you need to visit my town again! :beer: :smiley:

I wish I could :weary: I was there in the kick-off meeting of an international project and the host team is from there.
We were working from the morning till the evening so I didn’t have the chance to travel much, but I remembered that station :wink:

This was my photo, but it was around 3ºC so I didn’t keep my hands out of the pocket for long :stuck_out_tongue:

And I’m glad you confirmed the unicorn it was not there yet, ’cause I didn’t remember it and I normally capture those things!
I had one meal close by, and it was great! :beer:

I’m happy that you’ve enjoyed the stay at least a little :slight_smile:
Last serious winter we had was in 2010/2011 (–20…–25ºC in the morning for 3 weeks in a row, 18 days with max. temp. <–10ºC), so 3ºC doesn’t sound that bad :wink:

This world is small…I keep fingers crossed for your next kickoff meeting in Łódź :wink:

Nice sculpture!

By the way, it's kinda hard to see the unicorn in your avatar.

Simple, three questions, why did you choose your current avatar?
he looks better than me.
What is your avatar?
the boss at our house.
Are you planning on changing your avatar?
not unless he makes me.

I enjoyed, although I only stayed for some days and I could only see it by “night” (luckily the streets had all the Christmas lights and some handcraft fairs, so it was very beautiful) :wink: I was arriving at Manufaktura when it started snowing so then I returned to the hotel and couldn’t see it inside :zipper_mouth_face:
Perhaps next time in another project I can stay longer :slight_smile:

Thanks again and enjoy it there :beer:

i love your avatar.

how do you set one ?
