CroMAGnet,

Are we allowed to just "swipe" lower serial numbers as they become available or are you going to "redistribute" them to those already on the list first?

:thanks:

It's certainly time to move the Back-up people onto the main list. :)

If I could I would like to get one of each metals. Two please.

One Ti with pic, both tubes, both heads, Lux III either finish would prefer TiAlN

The other base Al with Lux I.

Thanks.

Oh, I can't open the pictures on my computer here at work so I do not knoe what place I am.

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Guys please make this easy on CroMagnet and me.
Please DO NOT SEND us PM requesting number and option.
Just post it so other can see that you "claimed" the number. If you stake it first then it's yours simple as that.

I do not want to put a surcharge on the serial, but if this "chaos" progress, I will do so.

I just want to let you guys know that CroMagnet is doing us all a favor by maintaining the list right! He's not getting any special treatment so please be nice to him. 100x of PM per week is an exhausting task.

CroMagnet's stepping up to the plate for "list management" have free up alot of time for me to fine-tune Draco to the best of my ability. :bow: thank you Tony.

With that say let's try to make this a fun project for both the producer team and consumer side.

Thank you all,
Jonathan

aosty: The uPIC is a variant of the fluPIC from goldserve. So same technology and UI.
frisco: Valid question. I too don't quite know for sure at the moment.
With the same power source and reflector size, I will dare say that Draco will be on top of it's class.

Did you order the [Ultrafire-AAA] eBay one for $19.90 +(10.ship)??

-I did also.....
VCAL: Yup! We'll have to compare notes :D Send me a PM if you can when you get it.

AWR: Hey thanks for chiming in. I was hoping you would. I'm not very good with those 'electronic' number details. It's all just guess work for me until we get together for lux readings and comparison beamshots :)

Overall. I think the tiny 10280 draco will be brighter than the stock L0P but probably brighter than the L1P with the LiON AAA tube. Also looking forward to discharge curves. This is such a kewl project. I can see why you get so enthused about you creations :)

Thanks to everyone for your patience. I guestimate that everyone on this thread will be able to get one so far but maybe not the exact metal. It will all go by the date of your post for priority on what you want. There will also be the CPF kindness factor and goodwill that we see so often here that may help accomodate all the little details so it all works out. Ultimately it is best if we all get the exact light we are hoping for. And with all the options (especially when we're talking about output levels, as in the few posts prior) available on this awesome little creation, it might not be that easy for YOU to choose. :)

I'll try to get the new list completed today so we have a clearer picture of what is available etc.

BTW Here is that pic showing the bare prototype behind the RED Arc AAA missing the skinny head.

You really come to realize the tiny size when holding it in your hand.

BIG Thanks to AW because we couldn't do this without him spending months to find this tiny powerful battery!! :twothumbs

Re: Introducing "Draco"


Ok! I shuffled the list around a lot even though I think it was premature. I think it will be OK but I do need the rest of the people on the interest list to confirm their choices since the pricing was announce or things will really get screwed up. I don't want to assume anything, even for the playa's! ;)

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Interesting, I didn't notice I was on the list twice. When confirming, I just happened to read the list from the bottom up. I only posted interest once. I'll take 27. Guess that means there's another open spot.

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Being easily confused, I also risk being repititious by writing that I'd like to CONFIRM my desire to purchase an aluminum 'Draco' as stated in post #379. Although that change is not reflected in what I currently see in post #6, I'm sure it will be. As much as I'd like the titanium body, my bank balance says otherwise.

CroMAGnet, I don't know how you keep it all straight, but we sure appreciate your efforts!

Re: Introducing "Draco"

LOL I have long ago resigned myself to the possibility that this will not go as smooth as I would like. I just hope that I can keep track well enough so everyone gets what they want, within reason.

OH! BTW Did I mention I got my #1 slot!!

Just a fluke since DF went for Ti.

aosty I actually have you down TiCN #30 :thinking:

:shrug:

I expect more of this. LOL

blahblah, you're in at #8 TiCN :)
