I wonder why the disparity of the two, one showing PP option and yours clearly not offering the choice. That is frustrating.
Regarding the compliment, sure you are welcome. It is however more closely related to envy as my mind is scattered and a bee hive of rambling thoughts clamoring for attention. So when I read someone else’s posts and they are clear and concise I find myself musing over the idea of being able to do the same thing myself- that is without making a huge effort for clarity, then re writing.
I just noted the evidence of flashaholism in the picture I posted! 8 tabs open and related to flashlights. Heck 2 were BLF threads.
It’s so sad about the error.And the review should be from third party, it will be fair and honest, that’s why I am willing decend the price for review, even I will loose some money
It is odd that PP is not offered, its not like we dont use it or that we have limited access to it. Its frustrating that even though they have an alternative for me, I still cant use that either. Hopefully we can find a solution to that.
I think most peoples heads are scattered, thoughts popping in and out, sometimes faster than we can ‘collate’ them. Youre not alone on having to revise to get coherent posts, I generally have to revise my posts too and often i have to edit multiple times. Although its usually the language I use, I tend to say what I think directly (shoot from the hip) and sometimes that can be abrasive, despite not being intentional. So much is lost with simple text. I approach forums like conversations, speech errors such as grammar and stumbles included, but sometimes I try to actually type academically if that makes sense, an old habit from uni. Often its a mix of both.
I have 143 tabs open right now, in multiple tab groups. I of mine was your MT-G2 S3 thread. Im thinking i might use the Supfire A6 for a similar build, if I can pull it off.
It might be working this time, I have a different reference number and this one looks right. May be Im not used to the site and was doing something wrong.
Edit: Seems it was my mistake, its working as expected now.
Well, since I have one (and one more on order), I have done a few mods over time, and my loyalty is at the BLF community, I guess I can do a small review one of these days :-)
It is of similar quality as the Convoys and Eagle Eye's, but this model is a bit different, so if you like the style: yes you want one. The finish is great, everything fits well and comes apart easily, there's no unpleasant surprises like hollow pills and such, there's a good heat path from led to pill to body, the body has enough meat in the right places that the heat can spread well, without the light having a fat head the reflector throws noticably better than the tube style lights, with a distinct hotspot, the switch is not too tiny, the driver is 17mm (a familiar one, same as in the Eagle Eye flashlights: high PWM, good mode spacing), stock the output of the XM-L is 600 lumens.
I'd say it has everything to easily make a fine pocket rocket of it, and that is my plan with one of them :-)
I will post a short picture-review tonight (have to go coffee-drinking around the corner with the family now -life is tough-)
Interesting. Seems like so far the SupFire brand has had a good level, consistent quality, and is typically a nice platform for modding. I've seen or heard nothing of any degrading of quality or consistency, and they've been around for a while. Impressions below:
The C8 T6:
head style and basic size appears to match up well to the SupFire L6, and the L6 has a true standard C8 pill, though with a raised top. I'm thinking the C8 T6 will have the same pill as the L6, not sure though, but if it does, can be replaced with a brass one like I did with the L6 (Post #1: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/26046)
simple typical 5 mode (ugh) but should have a good mode memory like the L6
The A6:
looks like a nice quality 18650 EDC
I'd go by djozz's recommendation for sure - seems to be typical SupFire quality - nothing really special or outstanding, but solid value, quality parts and build, nice and moddable
