That's a good price.

Bookmarked, looking forward to your verdict.

I enjoy seeing what you folks get in the mail almost (emphasis on ‘almost’ LOL) as much as getting something myself. so much so that I failed to realize that Monday I received a Shining beam S-mini XPG that I absolutely LOVE. 360/165/9.5 Lm . Still love & EDC the Balder SE-1 but have now added the unobtrusive, ‘light in a tube’ S-mini too my EDC arsenal! Hey, 2 pockets, 2 lights (oh, & 1 around my neck).

Nice to see the low is fairly low and medium useful for a battery saving high.

Yesterday I got a Z5 clone with 1x18650 from eBay

Pros:

- Cheap

- Build quality is good (for the price)

- Has everything I love in my Z5, but in safer format & easier to mod

- Not too small, fits my hand perfectly

- KD 8x7135 V2 3040mA driver fits like a glove (=> instant mod!)

- no flashy modes (with KD driver)

- totally unnoticeable PWM (with KD driver)

- Moon-Med-High with memory (with KD driver)

- XM-L is surprisingly bright with 5mA and runs "forever" (with KD driver)

Cons:

- Driven low (about 1.5A) & bad modes (with original driver)

- Hollow pill (but with nice amount of thermal paste)

- Beam has ugly outer rings when zoomed in

=> Screams for driver change, but is very good after that

(I'll order at least one more)

I hope it’s not to late

I have that soldering station and love it to death it’s awesome and I have used quite a few high end units.

When I bought mine last year people were reporting the wires were improperly routed and the units would burn up.

It’s very important that you open up the panel on that soldering station and make sure the wires are properly routed.

These Hakko tips from KD fit perfect and are very reasonably priced. Only order one or two because they randomly ship the big cutting tips for some reason.

I’m doing a run off between the S-Mini (high 360lm)& the e1320 5 mode on mode 4 (about 350lm) using the same kind of batt (cgr18650) fully charged. neck & neck @ 45 minute at this point. The winner shall receive a gold medal. LOL BTW, they are holding at 113 f (45c) so no heat issues.

The items are laid out impossibly parallel… :open_mouth:

No way!!! My Gosh… the time it must have taken! Muchos Respectos!

I got a package from UPS (1 week from the US to Australia!) which was 74lbs. A plastic wrapped gloss black cube!

The Queen has arrived, along with the Rook.

I’m working on the whole chess set now. :slight_smile:

Please share your initial impressions. Or a full review… :wink:

Got the 3 mode Sipik SK68 clone from Verosale and it’s great! Can’t wait for it to get dark and test outside.

Nice! What speakers and sub are they?
I’ve a pair of ATC monitors. Hifi is my other addiction.

Hard plastic battery case bought to hold the growing collection of batteries I have recently and relentlessly accumulated in the past few weeks.
Trustfire X100 +batteries/charger which I just had to have. This is by far my most expensive purchase but since I really needed some 26650 cells it made allot of sense.

This also finally came in from way back when it was talked about on here. Great light and it came with both the 4aa and 26650-18650 adapter.

I got an increase in child support payment from PA Domestics. Went from 2 kids to only 1 and the payment went up a little. WTF???
