    2xAA Camo Maglite Same as 1984 Version?

    Re: AA Camo Maglite Same as 1984 Version? That's the one! I wish I'd kept the old one (I would have been like 5 years old and my other lights were cheap plastic Duracells so I'm thinking I either sold the Maglite or someone stole it. The old one would mean so much more to me because it was...

    How to Remove Head from LED Lenser?

    Yes, I see, the head is in 2 parts and I can see the seam. I can't unscrew that either. It's too tight. Glued?

    2xAA Camo Maglite Same as 1984 Version?

    As a kid I had a 1xAA camouflage Maglight. Probably bought mid-80s when they were first made. I want to buy the same one I had as a kid. I did some reading and see they are pretty rare. How much different are the originals from what I can buy today for $15? I think mine must have been a...

    How to Remove Head from LED Lenser?

    I have a twist-to-focus 1xaa Coast LED Lenser I bought overseas in 2006. I was so happy because it was bright compared to everything else. I've since moved up, but I don't think I'll ever get rid of my first LED flashlight! Anyway, I need to pull the head off of this because I got water in...

    SNEAK PEAK BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL! You Will Be Super Excited!

    Well, they had the Spartan green & copper version online for a limited time. I tried to buy one but the site wouldn't let me log in even after I reset password. Finally I decided to check out as guest and by time I got everything typed in they were gone. I signed up for the newsletter which I...

    Has anyone gotten a Maratac Peanut or PCL light?

    I have both the Maratac SS Peanut as well as the CooYoo Quantum AL. I can honestly say that the CooYoo is the one to get (although I should have gotten stainless). Maratac has a real reflector, glows in the dark, tail stands, etc. CooYoo does none of this. However, CooYoo, although not a...

    SNEAK PEAK BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL! You Will Be Super Excited!

    Is the Spartan version the one that looks like oxidized copper with the green markings? I like that one! FenixStore, is there a way to get them with no clip at all; or the clip not on? So hard to get the clips off without scratching the finish. Blowndeadline mentioned that they Cerakote...

    SNEAK PEAK BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL! You Will Be Super Excited!

    With this light having both the tail clicky and the button by the head, the clip for me just seemed to get in the way when I changed hand holding positions. I took it off! That battleworn would look nice clipless! Is the black I'm seeing the original black Fenix annodization? So, if you...

    The Lite Review: Fenix PD32 2016

    Great review. Thanks! I feel that this PD32 is a better light than the PD35 TAC due to its longer battery life, easier to find side switch, and ability to tailstand.

    VC2 Charger Use

    Lol, that's the thread that made me buy it! :) I just charged my Fenix 18650 3500mAh (the one with the USB) with this charger. It stopped at 200 or so mAh and it actually was flashing "full." So, at least it let me know how "dead" the battery was (not very much). I guess to test the capacity...

    SNEAK PEAK BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL! You Will Be Super Excited!

    FenixStore, Shoot! Looks like I missed the bus on these! Unfortunately I wasn't a newsletter subscriber but I am now! I really want the green oxidized copper PD35 TAC shown in the original post above (and the grey is not bad either), but looks like I missed out. Were those actually produced...

    VC2 Charger Use

    Everyone pretty much recommends this as the the charger to get for charging 18650 cells. It's supposed to tell you the voltage, how many mAh the battery is, etc. The instruction manual is vague. The thing doesn't tell you anything about mAh except how much juice you just put into the battery...

    Great Cheap 1xAA Light!

    Now take this seriously: I really like this light! Menard's home center had them on sale for $3 and I bought one and liked it so much that I got one for every family member. (They were actually on sale for $2 the next week! And, as you can see they're now in a 2 pack for $5.) I played with...

    Blackwater Kite vs CooYoo vs MecArmy?

    I just learned from the other thread that the stainless is the hardest to get deep scratches unlike the titanium. And no aluminum ones tailstand. Someone said the Mecarmy will but im seeing that it wont. Stainless is 6g heavier but he Blavkwater SS will tailstand. That might be the one to get if...

    Scratch Resistance: Best Metal?

    Titanium is strongest, but I don't know if that makes it harder to scratch it or not. Aluminum is anodized which is supposed to make it very hard to scratch. Then there's the stainless steel options as well. Thanks!
