Retaining ring is not glued. Go easy with when releasing the ring to prevent accidental scratches.

36

This might be a silly question but how is the retaining ring fixed to the torch’s body? Is it a press fit that will need levering off or is it screwed in? Any info/tips would be appreciated. :slight_smile:

Lets see here, “WE” design this great light and add a battery indicator to the switch and everybody reviews it and is happy. Then “WE” decide to add a gray cover so you can not see the battery indicator and say ” what could be bad about this”. I don’t know, maybe hundreds (thousands?) of unhappy customers. Sounds like a plan to me!

38

BUT, they don’t even mention it in their literature. Maybe you won’t notice. I’m sure, it was just a manufacturing decision (lets put the big T on there), which is cool, but the grey doesn’t cut it. I’d be willing to bet in the future, they will source it clear.

39

what?? maybe I won’t notice, in the future they will make it clear, how does help us stuck with ” their bad choice”!!

Can anyone find a source for 10mm x 6mm tail caps?

Otherwise, I’ll order the 10mm x 8mm size ones from Kaidomain and figure out a way to make up the 2mm extra space.

I have first version but ill get some order and use when needed.

42

Got a response from member Thorfire, he said to let Banggood’s Customer Service handle it.

C’est la vie.

I filed a claim with Banggood under “poor quality” goods received. We’ll see what happens now. :expressionless:

43

I wish I knew if the battery condition indicator was included in the product description when I placed the order.

Or when was it deleted from the Thorfire website?

44

There’s no mention of the battery condition indication in the manual.
Was it mentioned with the first version?

45

Hey,

got my S70 yesterday from Amazon… it not only had the grey hard to see switch cap, but also stopped working after around 2 minutes of operation and can´t be switched on again … Happy? Not really…

46

try to tighten the tail cap? with the anti roll thing their it gets in the way!

47

That was suxx

48

Thanks for that link. I ordered 5 of each clear & GITD, which arrived today, so my S70 is now rocking the latter and looks so much better for it. :sunglasses:

49

Got my S70 and it only lasted 5 seconds, doing a paper clip test everything worked OK , I guess its the tail clip.

Uh oh, same error as mine it seems. QA seems to suck at Thorfire…
