86

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a TRustfire X6 SST-90 torch.

Where can it be bought at a reasanable price as I see all kind of prices on the net ?

Regards,

Stefaan

Ric of CNqualitygoods can hook you up with a good price. 120 bucks.

88

Don't forget, you have to pay for shipping

But Ric is a reliable guy!

89

Well, i cannot reveal all the secrets online! I can only say, get all your stuff from Ric, he always gives a good price.... DHL pricing is good actually.

90

THanks for the replies guys.

I have found his website and I have contacted him to ask him how much he adds for shipping.

THanks

91

I'm asking myself if this is a good flashlight ?

I already have the EagleTac T20C2 Mark II, the O-light Triton M31 and a couple of smaller fenix flashlights....

92

Hi stefaand you can get it from BOB $130 including shipping and if you use a coupon code BOB10 you get a 10% discount( have not used this for a while, may have expired) you may get it for $117

93

Thank you for the offer, but I already placed an order @Ric....

94

Wow...that's low from BOB. Have you used it before? Still need to overcome the initial part where you use the guy for the first time esp with nobody's endorsement. That episode with Lighttake and Sky Ray wasn't that good at all over here and CPF. Apparent DOAs and 1 x Wii Evil rabbit instead of the light and 1 barely lighting up and they tell you that 100 lumens is good enough for a triple XM-L sounds scary. hehe....

95

You can't go wrong there. Super-nice guy, and I believe a flashaholic at heart.

Nice to see YET ANOTHER Belgian on the board....I think there are five, so far.

Groetjes !

96

Yes, the order is processed and will be sent via DHL in 2 days.

Glad to be the fifth belgian guy.

Yes me too I'm crazy about good flashlights.

It all started a couple of years ago with 2 big maglites (4D and 6D).

But those are not comparable with the flashlight like the XL100 (maglite) and the Eagletac T20C2 mark II (300 lumen).

Afterwards I also bought the O-light T31 Warrior, I think it is 900 lumen.

And I have a couple of small ones, the Fenix E05 and the HP10 (headset).

and now I'm waiting for the 2300 lumen trustfire...Very curious how much light that one gives.

Cheers,

Stefaan

Hi Stefaand, glad you got the light. BTW, you do know how to balance them 3 x 18650 and the dangers in 3S config right? Everything is safe if you balance + use good protected cells. Let me know via PM if you have any questions.

98

Hallo,

I don't know what you mean with "balance" the 18650 batteries ?

Is there a danger ?

I also ordered 4 UNPROTECTED (and they look normal) ultrafire batteries at his website. http://www.cnqualitygoods.com/goods.php?id=1216

Is that wrong ?

99

Whoops...now I know what you have been talking about, Flashpilot.

Stefaand, can just email Ric and ask him to change to other batts? This one should be ok. Just get 3 pcs.

Yes of course there is a danger. But with judicious use and decent protected cells there really is no additional danger compared to the Li-ion that you use in your notebook.

You need to get a digital multimeter, what you are aiming to do is to make sure all cells are balanced in voltage, ie all 4.2V before you start using them. For the first discharge, perhaps you can measure in 10 mins interval and ensure that their voltage stays about the same. If they are all within 0.03V +/- it really is pretty ok.

BTW when you first get the cells, you need to measure their voltage which indicates the state that they have been stored, you are aiming for a value between 3.5V and 4V. If they are like < 3.4V, be very wary during usage and see if they stay balanced as a batch.

Basically with PCB protection you are protected the Li Co cells from dead shorts and over-charging. There is no such thing as trickle charging, if they are full then they are full. Trickle charge them no matter how small a current and they'd blow soon be it in hours or a few days. Compare this to NiMH, which safely dissipates the extra charge as heat - they may not operate that well after that if severely overcharged but they won't blow.

With all my cells, be it branded or those with lousy brands, i will test the PCB. Use the multimeter in current mode and short the + and -. The value would jump a bit and then fall to zero, ie protects from shorts. No danger.

But please, the risk is really very very low, you run a higher risk of blowing yourself up with illegal fireworks. If you follow good practices there shouldn't be any issue at all.

Those batteries do not look like rechargable batteries, but I have seen in the comment that those batteries are chargeable.

I have asked Ric to replace them, as the pachage is only going to be sent off on monday morning.

Thanks for the info.

I will only use full charged batteries so they all will be 4.2 volt I guess. I will mix them and use half empty with fully charged batteries.

So I will be safe too I think.

I have emailed Ric, he can make the change. (he just got my DHL order out)....

Those Yezls are 18650 rechargeables with PCB protection. I don't know of any 18650 primary cells (non rechargeable). :D

I actually have one of these Ultrafire 2400 and Ultrafire 3800mAh, from my lasers. They are ok for lasers, just that well for flashlights, better get the better stuff.

102

Did you ask Ric to make the change for me ? I did not understand what you wroter or do you also have an order there ?

103

Nope, I asked Ric if he is able to change for you and he said yeah it is possible. You have to confirm with him of course and give the instructions directly since you are the customer, just drop an email. I supposed you have to top up a few bucks with another Paypal.

I have my own order with him, just shipped out....nothing to do with your order. :)

104

ok, now I understand.

Thanks for asking for me too.

Indeed I dropped him an email, but he did not react (yet).

I also did not receive any email confirmation of my order that I placed yesterday evening.

The communication is not what I expected.

105

No worries, he probably is busy or out to get the lights, i had some difficulty reaching him this week. Forget about the webstore status, just email him of the PP transaction number and wait for the tracking code. It will get out eventually.
