Boiling Point if you like hot pot. The restaurant at the top (fourth floor) of the 99 Ranch Market Plaza on corner of Del Mar and Valley if you like mid-morning Dim Sum. Shanghai No. 1 if you don't mind fancy or if you want to impress a girl.

I've eaten at Lee's Sandwiches for 4 days in a row now! Tomorrow will be 5.

Wanted to share my thoughts and a couple photos on Solis.

Solis is the highest-quality illumination masterpiece Vinh has ever crafted.

Solis is also brighter farther than any other torch in existence. It's as close to a handheld Sun as human technology is able as of right now.

Sorry I have not gotten my chance to put up new products and hang around here much. So busy with production. Things should be better by the end of the week. :)

Wow! That Solis is both art & functional. Thanks for posting SAR.
It is such a pleasure. Thanks MAD777.

i learned from my experience with Surefire never take anything for granted. I never understood until recently, because I have become so educated about LED's THANKS TO THE supportive SKY LUMEN COMMUNITY. The Surefire M6LT-B was a worthy upgrade to the original M6LT. CREE XM-L to the XML-2. That is huge. Well, that's all ancient history now.

But I learned from my Surefire experience that here and now must be cherished. I am going to treat that GTvn90 that Vinh is building for me like a National Treasure. I plan on not even opening the packing box and place intact behind my glass display case. Becasuse, as I have learned so painfully, once it is gone, it's never going to be the same again. GTvn90! The best is now.

If your going to do that Edward, maybe you need 2 of them. One to use and enjoy, one to save to maybe pass down as some v54 history. Still as tec move on, its only time that something that will out perform(might be a while though).

Another reason to purchase a second GTvn:

In a few years, send one of these giant hosts back to Vinh to upgrade with the latest super-LED, while still keeping "the original" version.

You guys are geniuses and I mean that very sincerely. Vinh was spot-on about the quality of the Mateminco. Its finish was like something out of the U.S. Mint. Its heft spoke quality inside. the body tube diameter in proportion to the head size made it natural to cradle on my neck, and its body tube diameter is narrower and contributes to its becoming part of you.

Absolutely cant rush these GTvn builds. I have been spending lots if time in them...but the result is worth it. I dont even have time to start new threads and do any videos...I need to clone me.

Did I read that right.... you're NOT going to open the box that your TN42vn90 will be delivered in?

If so you could take it to a nearby airport and run it through their scanners. So you could see it's outline at least. :D
