How about organise a VG10 Groupbuy on BLF?

Or a VG10 host group buy :partying_face:
That way we can put warm tint, triples etc in ourselves

I think a BLF TF interest group is a good idea, but I don’t know if the “so they can start taking us seriously” comment is productive. From what I see, they have been reducing standard pricing on a lot of their lights. I would definitely consider them good quality Budget lights. I like the idea that they do these discount deals, but they have to put some kind of limit to it. $6.99 for the VG10 was unbelievable (I didn’t even get one at that price). They can’t sustain profit at a price like that. It’s good for advertisement, but that is what it is. It’s great we have a Thorfire rep here, and I would hate to ruin it by being too demanding. I’ve been getting good deals from them for the past 2 years, and they’ve been pretty consistent with discounts, on different lights (at least on Amazon).

certainly my intention wasn’t to ruin any relationship, or demand something more than others get. There are number of other social media channels that get preference before BLF, that’s all!!

I think the TF rep has hard time following all the requests and he finds out about the deals and coupons after someone else posts it here. I missed pretty much all of the great deals posted on other forums and etc.

So my intention is to make it easy for everyone to see the numbers and for BLF to get at least the same treatment as other groups get.

I guess I should find out how to put this in my signature:
BLF Thorfire interest group

My post was a bit reactive, sorry.

Although not an official Group buy, I am open to organize it as long as there is no one offended by it.

…
Offer a code even that’s only good for a week or so, and let people go crazy ordering 2, 5, 10, or more , and you’ll see what your sales will be like for that week!
…

Perhaps they had unlimited coupons. I saw people posting that they bought a bunch
On the other hand, people ( meaning me :sunglasses: ) got upset because they sold out. So someone got a couple dozen and others got none.

I have no experience with wholesale but I think TF would be open to arrange a volume discount.

I received my VG15S yesterday and I love it. I love it so much once I’ve finished my review I’ll be giving it away to anyone who is lucky enough to win it.

@Thorfire; just curious what happened to the TG05?

ThorFire TG05 Cree XP-G2 R5 5-Mode Mini EDC LED Flashlight 1AA - - Amazon.com

I’ve always liked the style of this light, as it’s a smaller AA-sized EDC with the styling of my favorite Convoy host, the S6. If this light had a deep-carry pocket clip available, it would be an ideal mod-host for an EDC. I would really like to see this light made available again, especially if it could be offered in host form…

I would buy 2 or 3 for sure.

As it sells not very well and we now have its brother flashlight TG06, So… TG05 discontinued.

I still want a few more VG10s like the one I got…

Damned shame if people want them but none are available.

Like, seriously, are they discontinued or something? I’m still looking, can’t really find any.

[strongest2004]

Thorfire, do you have TG06 wth NW tint?

I have 2 TG06, both have CW tints.

Thanks

They have been in stock on Amazon for a while, current price is $14.00.

When in doubt, clear your cache. (Gawd, how I hate Firefox sometimes… well, most times.)

And so they are!

Can’t figure out, though, what changed. Mine goes from low to high, but the ad and some reviews say high to low. ?!?

Moonlight/low/mid/high is perfect, and what I got. Don’t want to chance getting one that goes high/mid/low/moonlight (ie, ruin your night-vision before going to moonlight).

Had I been sure it’d go low to high, I would’ve gotten a bunch more when I had the chance. Anyone know for sure what the current crop does?

Since there were no objections, sounds like it’s time for an official groupbuy.

Looks like Thorfire agreed to a VG-10 flashlight Groupbuy

I believe there is also plenty of interest for other TF products:

- C8s flashlight

- host only VG-10

• host TG-06
  …etc

@Thorfire

Looks like Thorfire agreed to a VG-10 flashlight Groupbuy

The only caveat is that I’d like it to be exactly as the one I got:

• forward clicky

• moonlight, low, medium, high

• same exact driver to make point 2 happen (order, levels, memory, etc.)

I could live with CW, ’though absolutely I’d prefer 4200K-5000K, which’d make the VG10 my Perfect Light™. Much much much less essential than the bulleted points above.

Pointed out elsewhere that I’ve seen blurbs and reviews (eg, amazon) where the order was h/m/l/f, and in that case, I wouldn’t be interested at all. Strobe or any blinkies, even “hidden”, and instant dealbreaker.

Also really like the non-recessed switch (ie, won’t really tailstand). I can do without tailstanding, as having the slightly-protruding switch makes it a much better tactical flash’n’dash light. Easier to momentarily flick on with gloves, too.

So basically, other than CT/tint (minor quibble at that), it’s really the only perfect light I ever got off-the-rack, without having to modify the crap out of it (or live with endlessly-grating annoyances).

Now we don’t have TG06 with NW tint, but in the near future we will have more options and upgraded version, according to customer experience and comment.

On VG10 listing and manual, it says the brightness level in the order of High-Mid-Low-Moonlight.
