I should have a tricked out D80 from him soon and will be posting beamshots and outputs when that happens. 
I’m right here guys, I have been gone for 1 week.
Blueballs, I messaged you, and I am sorry that you feel I am scammer. I can certainly refund you at any time if you ask me to, as with any customers who haven’t received something.
Also extremely sorry that I was gone. I was supposed to be done traveling for the summer. :person_facepalming:
I do compensate for things like this that are my fault. Well, I try my best to do a lot better than Gearbest does to understand problems, anyways.
For the record, I will hopefully have time tomorrow, but will definitely have time Thursday of this week to make shipments.
Sharpie,
You are clearly someone who has great issue with me being here. I am not sure what your problem is with what I have done while being here, but it sounds like you are not fond of me posting here simply because you cannot always comprehend the technical subjects which I am trying to convey as best I can. You have never sent me a single private message that I can recall. If a member does not understand something another member has written, the general and polite way that they can solve their problems is via direct communication with the author. Name calling of the subjects because they simply aren’t worded the way you can understand them is a zero progress game. When school math classes become challenging, I can assure you that writing slanders at the book author as graffiti in the book, still will not help you to learn the mathematics.
You have said things above that I have never said or made claim to before. I have completely described tint shift, as have many others here. In the thread about dedoming, I am not sure how anything I added was any less productive than the next person. If I am doing something special that I would like to keep my own secret, I feel that is my right to do. It is every bit your right to make something your secret, or figure it out, and show the world that you did. If I make a claim like dedoming the XP-G3, many wouldn’t believe it without vision, therefore I provided a complete video to support it. For example, here are two separate videos I made for the forum supporting it; XP-G3 and XP-L V6: MEM Dedomes Cree XP-G3 S5 3A on Vimeo and XP-L V6: MEM Dedomes Cree XP-L V6 0D LED - Timelapse on Vimeo The next time that I write a technical post, you are more than welcome to message me if you do not understand the subject and you would like to. I can only go as far as to try to help, the rest is up to you.
Great post MEM
When a member who has profound knowledge about the flashlight workings is offline for a longer period of time I sometimes get a bit worried,
Now with this OP i did get worried all was well but I am not in a position or had a specific question for you to justify a PM.
Glad you responded man! Thanks.
Hi guys, please discuss the issues at hand, but keep it civil.
Happy and glad to see you back MEM! I apolize for jumping the gun and thought you could have possibly scammed me. But I felt like I lost communication with you. The first 2 weeks , we had frequent messaging. In the one month span, there was a previous time where you didn’t respond to any of my messages for 8 days, and even then, I didn’t think for one bit, that I was getting scammed. Because I can see that you were still visiting blf.
But this last time, It was a bit different. I messaged a number of times and even said this transaction is taking a bit longer than expected and if the light has not yet been shipped, I ll just take a refund. And so when I see that your last visited blf day was 5 days ago, I thought you jumped ship!
Well anyways, I’m sorry again and no hard feelings.

(I beleive he is know as the inventor of the reflective aperture around here)
viperbart, I’ve never heard about that tech and google is no help. Could you elaborate on the subject or point to the discussion/info? Is it related to Wavien RLT?
MEM, next week when you read this message, I suggest you put a disclaimer in any sales thread you start, stating that communication is limited to poor. 
I followed one thread of yours for a while only to realize that the updates were so spaced out that i could forget it for a month and not miss much. lol. blueb8lls may not have known this so I agree with the initial title of this thread given his experience. A disclaimer would reduce anxiety a lot.

Wow! I didn’t know that thread existed! Thanks for the link! :sunglasses:
I was watching that thread, modified olight flashlights on sale.
I had an impression that those lights are all already modified and ready for shipping!
Shipping to EU was a bit high so I wasn’t motivated to buy.
Unless of course your job takes you out of town for a week or two at a time and sometimes unexpectedly. Then it would definitely be a problem.
And throw in an OCD that leans towards a need for absolute perfection and one is tweaking a light to the Nth degree before sending it out.
+1
That wouldn’t be a problem for him if he was actually Mr fantastic He could make the lights from where ever he was lol! I could use these arms right i am outside playing with a light meter in 5 degree weather!

Edit, deleted off topic.
I get the feeling blueballs ordered the g3 version instead of the limited run g2.
If I understood him correctly, the limited run g2 javelots are complete and ready to go. Mem does state that he “can” change it to a dedomed xpg3 or xpl, and then later on, mentions that he is still in the process of fabricating a tool that can allow him to access the driver more easily.
Via pm, he told me that he can drop in a dedomed g3 but that the stock driver only supplies 4 amps. This works without problems but he mentioned that the full potential of the xpg3 requires more current. I opted to wait for his findings on a current boost and am still waiting.
Again, I think blueballs went the same route as me with a high current g3 so these are not “off the shelf” products that was ready for immediate shipment.
Besides, surely mem has a job and other priorities to keep up this expensive light hobby.

Sharpie, thanks for the link. This indeed seems exactly as Wavien RLT from the descrription, but no photos so no way to tell for sure. There are videos on YT for Wavien tech.
Just for the record, I indeed ordered the simple xpg2 version. And those that think that this sale was a group buy, it is not. He told me he had the lights in hand already and even showed pictures of all lights.
I payed Jun 1. We had several frequent pm’s talking about his aspherics he can build and sell me. I told him, I’m ok for right now. And this is Jun 4.
I didn’t get a reply back so I Pm him on Jun 9. Asking if my light has shipped.
He replies back on Jun 10. Saying sorry I thought I replied back.
He told me several people ordered some m3x’s that wanted to get their lights boosted with more amps. And that he was gonna mess around a bit. But he does have my light READY TO SHIP.
I told him, sure I’ll wait a few days too then because I’m curious to see if you can boost the amps. This is now Jun 12.
On Jun 15, I pmed asking how are things coming along? No reply
On Jun 17, I pmed saying if boosting amps is not a success, no worries, I’ll take the light as is.
He replies back on Jun 20, saying he will ship light out tomorrow. On June 22, I asked if the light has been shipped.
On Jun 26, I politely said , please respond and let me know what’s going on? If things are bad, I don’t mind just getting a refund. But please just give some kind of response or I will have to start a thread on this matter.
No response from him, which caused me to start this thread on Jun. 27.
So as you guys can see, the light was ready to ship from day 1. And I feel I was pretty patient even with his bad communication from the times where there was no response from 3-8 days apart.
Yes, he has replied back to this thread, but I still did not receive a shipped pm.
So I will keep everybody updated when this transaction is finally finished…… Haha
Ah, and in that week when you were looking for a response, he was out of town with his work. And now he is either hurt or sick, seems to me he was coming down with the flu, so … and besides that he did state earlier that his first opportunity to ship anything would be Thursday.
Everyone here doesn’t march to the beat of the same drummer. ( I only mean, by that, everyone has different schedules and some have more taxing schedules than others. )
This is another way in which the forum has changed in the past year. People seem much more impatient than before, more uptight. Patience is not in abundance and it seems everyone is all to willing to slam someone for a perceived slight. Perhaps we all need to relax a bit and remember that this is a hobby, even for those doing custom work. Jobs, family, wives/girlfriends, floods, heat waves, air conditioning issues, we all have a lot to do and the modding time is limited. If that’s not true for everyone here, I’ve got a couple of acres I’m severely behind in mowing that I could use some help with…I’ve got a good swing blade, anybody?
Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a Kaiser blade. Dale calls it a swing blade. Uh huh.
Dale has spent many hours swinging that blister producing, back-ache inspiring, shoulder searing implement. Dale can call it by a thousand curse words not allowed here.
This is the one I’ve used to cut fields of 5’ tall Johnson grass, as well as many other weed infested areas.
