A statment:the COMETA flashlight is not a Jaxman product

I’m just saying that the Jax Z1 which the Cometa should’ve been is superior to the UltraFire, it is like comparing apples to oranges as they’re not in the same price range but Muto made the comparison. :wink:

The only real difference between the 1504 and 1405 is the length of the tube for the extra battery.

Muto is effectively saying we didn’t need the Cometa and we don’t need any more zoomies, but if the Cometa was indeed the modded Jax Z1 it would’ve been superior to the Brintye which he mentions and the Uniquefire.

I also have a Brintye B158.

The JAX X6 to me, is one of the best so called “BUDGET” lights out there of the highest fit finish and machining quality, for the $$$$ bar none. I have quite a few X6’s had (3) Z1’s found one Z1 I modded with a XHP70 and FETDD driver, a couple years ago and stored away, and now the new X1. I like that you came out, made your statement, and are standing your ground, way to GO! :+1: JAX and Convoy are my 2 most favorite makers of hand held illumination devices for my money! Continue to move forward and bring us your best, thanks!! :wink:

All sides involved (except organizers) have spoken and what’s next?

I already have Cometa and as it’s said here “Beaten was beaten, fu$$’n was fu$$’n”. Apologize for the expression.
It’s cristal clear who was manipulated all of us in this case.

I still would like to receive the promised from Banggood product - modded Jax Z1.

P.S. With all respect to the organizer of his desire to do something extraordinary and taking the time for this. Anyone can make a mistake …

Thanks for your responses and troubles here.

I hope Cyberscudo will add something to the discussion at last!

Just for the record, can Jaxman confirm that this is their product?

And, looking back, here’s the early mention of “JAX Z1” (including many pictures)

Al fine di rendere la torcia del forum più performante è stata decisa …. Vi presento il prototipo pre-vendita della Jax Z1 scelta quest’anno come “Torcia del Forum”

a bit confused here. There is Jax, and Jaxman? Two different companies? Is there a company called Jax? Do they have a website? Everyone seems to LOVE their lights/quality.

They are the same company, Jaxman used to be called Jax.

Saypat, for disambiguation — see the first post on the first page:


Hello Guys, i’m Wonwuster one of the admins on CPFItalia.
As Budda said, we are waiting for some news about the COMETA from Banggood. None of us in CPFItalia have more news than the ones that we already know.

I personally wrote three email to Neal, asking informations about the project and other news of the troubles that all of us know very well, but none of the email sent was replied.

I kindly ask patience about this project because we are all in the same boat, and when Cyberscudo will have some updates or i will be able to have some news from Neal, i will write on CPFItalia and here on BLF for sure.

Regards.

At least they didn’t change it to Jaxfire.

That is bad, very bad. :person_facepalming:

If you’re asking for everyone to be patient, does that mean that progress is being made in resolving this debacle?

Worth remembering:

Unfortunately I cannot surely answer because, as I said in my last message, I have no more news than the ones that all we already know. I hope that this project will be achieved in the way that we planned time ago.

Is this unsafe, “fake”, not working 100% light a reason to do a paypal claim? Clearly Neal from BG has no replies to anybody, and like others GBs with Manker/Banggood all just run out in the sea, and we are stuck with the product.

What will others do? Keep the light or ask for a refund? And they that keep the light, are you handy man/woman that can solder and fix anything?

I do not have the Jax Z1 so you have me at a dis-advantage there. I am sure it is a nice light.
What I do have is a Kloepper Knife Works modded Uniquefire 1504 that puts out 429k and has a lighted tailcap (Worth every penny)
It cost just over $100 and with that output, I am saying “I don’t need any more Zoomies” so please forgive me for using the phrase “we don’t need any more zoomies”
Now if you can tell me how to get the Cometa to 429k for $100 I am all ears. They advertise the group buy one at 198k and some members have gotten over 205k but that is still half of the modded Uniquefire 1504.

I spent that amount of money to stop the purchasing of flashlights that do the same job but only slightly better.
Multiple purchases quickly add up over the $100 threshold.
It’s like you when get used to driving a car with 300hp and it seems fine, but when you get the 500hp one, suddenly there is no going back.

I also erred in saying the 1504 doesn’t take the 26650, sorry, just have too many zoomies I guess :slight_smile:
It’s all good.
Thanks
Keith

Wow 429kcd is that with a Xp-G2?

That's fine. I just don't think I will bother taking it all down, as you have pointed it out... it's not valid info, it's been noted by you. I didn't read everything about the controversy and I probably never will, so I should probably just stay out of it, since I don't really plan on being all that involved anyhow. Guess I was just not sleeping last night at the hospital and felt like running my mouth after all these days of silence.

Yeah, XP-G2 S3 3C
It is # 2 on this list;

He makes great flashlights and has great attention to detail.

I can’t figure out this.
BG bought 100 lens for replacing, warranty and co.
Now, some say BG used the jaxman lens in the cometa produced by manker , while others say that the cometa lens is cleary inferior to the jaxman one. Which one is true?

Also, I’d like to hear how can you make hundreds reserved lights with 100 lens

Woah :+1: seen your beam shots!!! :open_mouth: you got a keeper there never let that bad boy go, :wink: unless you want to sell it to me!! :smiley:
