That wire looks like single strand 28 gauge? I'm using 22 gauge multi-strand silver tinned teflon coated, so this would be a big step down. Specs are lacking..
Panasonic NCR18650PD a pair for $14,21 without code $14,96. Not aff-link
They have a high discharge rate (most shops wrote 10A, but it gettibng real warm over 6A).

The black Skyray King for the same price as the golden one. With BLF coupon $39,70, without $41,79 Not aff-link
For the people, who can resist a long time - I have never seen the black king for this great price!
This happend every time, that products getting cheaper. If I bought a light, which I need only one time (I buy more Solarforce flashlights of one kind, because the quality and price is great), I never look at new prices. Every time I did in the past, I feel the same like you - why haven’t I wait
For the user of Europe who have the EU plug, but charger came with an US cable. I don`t like the US EU adapters really and use them only on products, which have a power supply or a fixed plug.
If they have a cable (like the Intellicharger i4 V2), I use EU cables. I have a few from older eletronic parts (cassette recorder, video recorder - yes I have one a ferw years ago, or my printer). If not, you have to buy them and local stores and often you have to pay about 5-7€.
If you buy 3 on fasttech (length 1,30m), you will pay only $1,91 with a coupon (1,32€) for each, without $2,01. Not aff-link
I pass this, because I bought a 3x XM-L bikelight from Wallbuys New Year Sale - it has 30% discount and I pay $36 (normal shop price $52). But the 30% discount are over.
Ordered a few for resistor mods. I have had successful mods by changing resistors on buck drivers. I now have a Malkoff like set of 3-18v single mode dropins with low, med and high brightnesses.

Maybe interesting, but not a flashlight, charger, battery and flashlight-DIY-products. I think we have enought threads for funny things here in the forum.
The Fasttech holidays goes on (until 17. Feb.) - so I post some older products and start with pictures - not to big, only to show the products:
Trustfire TR-J18: 7x XM-L T6, 6000 Lumens with coupon: $53,12 Not aff-link
The Convoy flashlights are interesting - they are available with different LEDs and bins (XM-L U2, T6, ,T4), with 2 groups of modes (5 with sos and strobe / 3 modes without strobe and sos) and most have more combination about ampere - some have 8x 7135 = 2,8A other less.
I choose two of them, but you can select other LEDs and Ampere on the productsite.
Grey, 2,8 Ampere, 3/5 group, XM-L U2-1B, with BLF coupon for only $13: Not aff-link
or the bigger Convoy L2, 1 or 2 18650 / 26650, 2,8 Ampere, 3/5 group, XM-L U2-1B, maybe a good thrower with BLF coupon for $48,63 Not aff-link
Sorry, but i am not sure i can decide about plated bezel quality or the lower quality lanyard from a photo, neither the link you provided is very reassuring.
Therefore i could not safely go around claiming which is fake or not. I would prefer to receive the light first and then make any assumption.
After CNY, i expect mine from FastTech, which i ordered just because of the low price as well as out of curiosity for its performance vs the ‘original’
The photo makes it pretty clear that the lanyard isn’t the same as what CNQG sells. Otherwise, I can’t see any obvious differences. The original lanyard was paracord though, and the one in FastTech’s pic is not.
I wouldn’t not buy it simply due to a difference in lanyard, but it makes me wonder if the rest is different too.
I’ve got the gold Fandyfire. Could care less about the designer lanyard (although it did come with original one) or how the label is “aligned” on the torch itself. It’s not like I’m purchasing a Van Gogh or Picasso…. I should think the ladies would be pickier than MEN when it comes to “designer aesthetics” “.
As long as the light kicks butt, is bright, built to take it, and comes in at a bargain price … I could care less about the “authenticity”.
I agree with everything you just said, however I could never get into that gold color, I have never been and probably never will be a gold guy. Here's to hoping we can get some definitive info on the quality of the black version because I'm tempted to pull the trigger on one myself.
I have an original gold SRK and I love it. Aside from the great output and low price, it’s probably the prettiest light in my collection. I picked it over the black one for aesthetic reasons, though the black one is quite handsome too.
Been away for a time or so Buwuve and things may have changed, but when the cursor hovered over a link in your last thread post, shareasale.com came up.
I checked on shareasale.com and, though not a scam (as well, it’s offered as an affiliate by fasttech) I wondered why the link below for your post?
Except for modes and components they seem to be a bit simular to these from intl outdoor: 4A 5A
I would probably take the intl-outdoor drivers if not looking for 2-group driver. I have been looking at the 4A version for a future build…
First thing: Yes sharesales isn’t scam, it’s an affiliate for fasttech.
Fasttech is back from China New Year.
They have a nice thrower Niwalker 750N1 and send it out with 2x Panasonic 3100mAh (unprotected) and a charger for $96,08 without coupon and with BLF coupon $91,28 Not aff-link
The 2x 18650 have a value of $14,10 and the charger of $7,72. If we say: Only the battery are useful you get the flashlight for $77,18 - this is a great price.
