NiteCore EA4 @fasttech $46.60

Immediate gratification is not always achieved. So you must wait.

FastTech is like the rest of the world…weekends understaffed…things slow a little.

You can read on their site…messages are answered within 24 hours. They’ve never failed to respond to me so far.

My last order was in “placed” status for three days…but it shipped.

Immediate gratification is not always achieved. This is not a perfect world afterall.

:smiley:

I ordered mine last Sunday and i believe to have seen something like, ships in 7 business days

I saw that too.

I hope they get a good batch.

I placed an order from fasttech on the 17. (not EA4). Did not ship before 22.
They have also managed to not respond to me when they said they would.
So they can still improve. Not always that fast.
Both DX and wallbuys were faster on my last orders…

I think many people have a bit high expectations… Like I had…

I hope they get a batch.
No one knows what Dorri is up to…

Maybe it’s because I put a space between price and control? Only pricecontrol ?

Finally sold out.

I love Nitecore quote, If you don’t stop, we’ll “do sh*t strong” :party:

When I ordered at $46, only CW available.
I also got an email that 80% they received are NW, so I chose NW.
They now have the NW on the web as NW U2, I am not aware of NW comes in U2,
I though the highest bin NW is T6, so if this does arrive as true U2 bin NW, it’ll be icing on the cake :slight_smile:

Which ones brighter CW or NW ??
I ordered a CW version. U2-CW.

The CW version is brighter,and there is no U2 NW this is most likely T6 3C NW

I have both and can’t see any meaningful difference in brightness.

Anyone get theirs shipped yet?

Ordered EA4 NW on 21st of Jan. Still shows ” In Progress”

Bouight mine 21st also…messaged them yesterday and received reply this morn that they were sold out…told em i was kinda pissed coz I bought one when they were taking orders and THEN many hours later after purchase it was marked sold out.

They stated the ad read because of problematic stock “7 days to deliver” I never saw that. Anybody see that on page when you ordered? I never order when I see such.

Said they will have new stock in “couple days”. dunno… |(

Only the price is the pro here. Not happy about the way sale was handled at all.

Hmm, also ordered on the 21st, after receiving the alert email from them, that it was in stock. Not sure what to make of the below status. Not going to worry about it until at least another week or two pass.

I'm sure this has been covered, so forgive me for asking, and feel free to ignore, but how how do these perform on 14500 batteries?

LOL! Just found the manual, http://www.nitecore.com/UploadFile/Files/download/1-1_EA4_UM_EN.pdf

It's a shame it's not capable of handling 14500 batteries as well, but it will be good to have a very bright light that can run on primaries regardless.

Now if only FastTech would live up to their name and ship already...

it was shipped on the 19th. in all fairness, they did send me an email asking if i wanted NW or cool.

And 5 days to process it? Geeeshhhhh… SlowTech .

well… you cant trust hk or chinese tracking numbers. i dont think i have ever had a reliable one.
i think it was the 18th before i realized they sent me a message about the NW stock thing, and after i said ill take a NW if possible, it was marked shipped the next day.

actually, the only reliable tracking numbers i have had lately is from madecov and the ones from me shipping stuff through ebay. this tracking BS lately is crazy
