Thanks for all the support guys! I haven't been responding very fast today because I've been traveling to go pick up the family. Don't worry, I was up at 4:30 this morning finishing up orders from yesterday and dropped them off this morning at the post office on my way. Don't worry, I also brought everything with me so orders will begin going out again on Friday as usual. I had my video camera just in case my car happened to catch on fire; there are so many batteries that it would make the burning Tesla video look like a little sparkler vs. an incendiary mortar round. ;) The things I do for you guys!
HELIOS- is the winner of the $2 coupon. Helios-, I will PM you the code. Thanks everyone for the feedback! I can't do everything at once but I got a lot helpful insights, a lot of which I hadn't thought of before.
-From 11/28 to 11/29 at 11:00 PM PST, coupon code BLF gets you 3% off of all the items located in the following categories: batteries, LEDs, MCPCBs, drivers, and optics.
-The XinTD V4 is on sale for $28.99 with holster. (while supplies last)
Got my package yesterday. Arrived 8 days after I placed the order.
Finally I got myself some various Efest batteries.. Me likey! I was not able to get these from China due to the li-ion issues...
Picked up some 20R cells too. They seem to have quite similar output as my green sony 2600mA (50A) cells when freshly charged, just like HKJ charts said. :)
Got some reflectors too.
Everything was good! Nicely packaged. Great communication.
Thanks for taking the time to place the order manually and to send the stuff "over the pond" to me. :)
Hope you got some time in with friends & family between all the orders!
Don’t burn out. People should be able to understand you taking a bit of time off for holidays!
Yes, I will be getting some in the next big Efest order (no ETA). In the meantime, the Sanyo UR14500P should be here this coming weekend, both protected and unprotected. The Efest are less expensive than the Sanyo.
Good news for international buyers! The international test shipment that RMM made to me arrived in great shape, incredibly well packed, and in pretty decent time (a bit over two weeks to my destination, YMMV). International shipping was very reasonably priced, and that combined with his sweet prices on the batteries makes this a very viable option for international Li-Ion buyers (and a no-brainer for USA buyers). Thanks a lot to RMM for a fast and smooth transaction!
Until further notice, all customers from Utah and Washington state must contact me for an invoice for your order. This is due to sales tax requirements. Eventually, the web store will automatically calculate taxes upon checkout, but for now they must be manually calculated.
The following items are now back in stock:
3-XP MCPCB
XP-G2 3C 16mm
XP-G2 2B 16mm
XM-L2 U2 1A 16mm
XM-L2 U2 1D 16mm
The following are items which have been added or will soon be added to the site:
Dude. Are you looking at what I’m ordering from chinese stores, and then stocking them the DAY AFTER I’ve ordered?
You’re killin’ me. :_(
I literally just ordered a bunch of gaskets and springs yesterday. This is the third time this has happened (Previously with emitters, and batteries before that). lol.
There’s some stuff I know that’s not practical for Richard to stock, like the bits I need to mod a Maglite, but the next project I have I’m most likely going to him first. At this point he’s modeling his store after IOS. I’m on a buying moratorium until after Christmas, but probably first on my list is a C8 host and that 4-color XM-L/Driver setup.
You need to commission a line of 16x6mm switch boots. I'm SICK AND TIRED of adding o-rings and spacers and washers on top of the stupid 8mm tall boots only to find the switch no longer fits in the tailcap!
14x6mm boots exist, sort of... very few sources and usually only one color, that awful GITD-green. Some 14x6 black boots would be neat.
Definitely, I didn’t expect him to stock gaskets and springs which is why I ordered a bunch from cnqg. Now he pretty much has everything I’ve ever needed except for the more specialty items that are low demand.
It’s good to see a more local shop with increasing variety of goods.
@ Comfy: Interesting. I'll see what kind of boots I can procure!
@ Streamer: Sorry I didn't have any. Will have some in the next week or so, both protected and unprotected Sanyo 14500s. In the next month or so there will also be some Efest IMR 14500s.
Still working on getting everything on the site. Thanks for all of the support!
You are kicking butt and taking names :) Between you and IS, I won't need to get my modding parts from China anymore.
Have you considered offering a 105C flashing service, with a few different program options with adjustable levels per flash? It was something I was considering offering until PilotPTK showed us his new driver design, but that now has been put on hold it seems. If you're interested in doing that let me know and I (along with others here) can help you get that going.
