Paypal is free to send $ to family and friends, only costs when used to pay for a product or service.
You send it as personal/gift, from checking or pp balance, to avoid the fee.
Still in for the $5 on this or the original idea, just let me knowā¦
Wowā¦ that light is a joke. They (as in Shadowhawk Tactical themselves) told us on Reddit that the cells that are manufactured in Southern California but obviously thatās complete bullshit. I certainly thought the cells looked familiar and I found themā¦ theyāre exactly like the Ultrafire cells which everyone knows are crap.
OP, I wouldnāt even bother having everyone pitch in money to review this light. Itās a waste of money and time IMO. I pretty much called them out for trying to scam people with a piece of shit product.
For the record, the light is going under two namesā¦ the G700 and the X800. Links belowā¦

And since we are all friends here, no costs 
OP UPDATED
Awesome news, I spoke to mhanlen, and he has agreed to do the side-by-side review for us!
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Markās work (mhanlen), check out his YouTube Channel Heās reviewed quite a few flashlights already, and has some pretty hilarious commentary. He also has a pretty strong following already (one of his reviews has over a quarter of a million hits), so I think this would be the perfect vehicle to get the review out there.
Iām talking to 2 guys who have the G700, and am trying to sort out the details of who has the most original, āin the boxā stock flashlight. My MECO ācloneā light is being delivered today, so it will be ready to ship to mhanlen as well.
Big thanks to everyone involved already, and to the guys willing to chip in to see this review done. It definitely speaks volumes about this community
Nice his reviews are funny.
Are we also going to send the two to others (first US for any1 willing to pay shipping to the next then Europe)??
We need a lot of reviews and change titles to x729,Z444 or whatever they change it to next (I.have seen 3 different names so far)
2/12 Update
I spoke to Richard at Mountain Electronics, and he graciously offered a $10 gift voucher to his shop 
2 members on here offered up their G700ās for the review, but decided to go with Slim Pickens since he had the entire kit that is sold on Limitactās website (flashlight, batteries, charger, case).
Iām going to send out a message with my Paypal to everyone who signed up to donate to the cause. Iāll to be the middle man for the $$$, so it gets sent to mhanlen and Slim Pickens for shipping. Any extra will go to the guyās for their work on this. In order to alleviate any questions as to what the donations are going towards, Iām going to update this thread with a breakdown of expenses, so every penny will be accounted for.
Thank you guys for seeing this through, Iām pretty excited to see the final review!
Payment will be done within the hour.
I really hope there are a lot of people who are
1 willing to make a review of the G700 and Meco
2 willing to send it to the next who is on par with 1 and 2
If we flood the web with reviews and new ones to incorporate the new names it could be a fun project.
H#ck I just came up with a nice addition to 1 and 2
3 puts 1 or 2 flashlight related things extra in the package and takes 1 or 2 out to keep.
The great BLF G700 review and goodies box on its travel around the world project!
Just a heads up, when you guys do the review may want to also include BRIGHTMAX 3000. This is the new name this light is being sold under.
Lets debunk some junk!!!
And a shameless bumpā¦
I seen that same plastic box it comes in here sold at Dollarama for $1.
so yeah, Iām in for $5 if weāre buying Slim Pickens light
Iāll add $5 toward this, send me the info.
Jason, unfortunately we are not able to buy Slim Pickens light, unless he is wanting to sell it for a lot cheaper than he paid for it. We just didnāt raise enough money to buy a ācommunity light,ā which Iām now thinking is for the best. Instead, weāre just trying to cover the shipping costs, and use whatever is left over, as a gift card to Mountain Electronics for mhanlen and Slim Pickens.
Hank, I think we have enough funds to cover the shipping all ways, and still pull off a $10 gift card for both guys. I greatly appreciate the offer, and may call on you next week, once we determine exact shipping costs. Iām hoping that the donations we have already will cover everything
SlimP, would you be willing to share your āfull kitā with reviewers, and then take it back if you think itās worth a lot of money?
I know people feel like āthe more you paid the more itās worthā ā but itās not worth much, really.
Except as a horrible example to share.
Iād offer Slim a S2+ as a gift direct-ordered from RMM, if heād let his āmore expensiveā light kit be passed around for reviews for a while.
NICE hank!
Hank, that is a heck of an offerā¦
Slim, You would be getting a free light in addition to yours for just loaning it outā¦
Let me assume that extra views and subscriptions are a reward in itself for the reviewer
The one giving up the crappy G700 gets a really nice S2+
all that is left is shipping, and with al the name changes a new review should be posted regularly to have any effect.
WHO is willing to make a review AND wants to pay for shipping to the rest?
I am, but live in France so to pass the set around USA seems logical before it shippes to Europe.
Thanks for your offer, Hank! Thatās extremely generous. But seeing a nice review or two is enough for me The light and kit is on its way to mhanlen.
Editor wasnāt properly showing the shunken image.
