"Introducing "Draco" [Accepting Deposit].

Re: Introducing "Draco"

I went in with eyes wide open, knew what I was getting into. Modamag is so selfless when it comes to helping out on CPF as in his personal life, I just saw it as an opportunity to follow his lead hoping some would rub off on me.

Oh, did I mention I got the #1 slot?

[edit]LOL I'm hopeless and need more work. Maybe I'll give it to someone I've had in mind for a couple of weeks now

Re: Introducing "Draco"

CroMagnet,
#35 on current list-

I confirmed in post #366 but see my name as unconfirmed on your post #427 today. That might be since I was on the original list as # 35 AND #139 somehow.

The line in post 427 below my name shouldn't apply to me as I haven't made such a request.
SteveStephens (w/turbo) (Ti?)
TiCN / Std head / SXOH / uPIC Driver (80mA low +350mA burst)

So this is a re-confirmation, as follows, with a few changes to clear things up.

One Aluminum with Turbo LuxI, constant current
One TiCN with Turbo LuxIII, uPic

Note change to uPic for the Ti light only.

I would like to change my serial number request from 035 for each light to 002 for Aluminum and 007 for Ti/CN if those numbers are still available. Hope this doesn't confuse things for you any more than they must already be. Thanks for keeping the list Tony. You deserve #001 for the work you are doing.
Thanks,
Steve

Re: Introducing "Draco"

I POSTED CONFIRMATION in post 365 "confim number 50, ti, ticn finish, REMOVE my request for TURBO HEAD please , KEEP all else as listed as standard on post 341", thanks cromagnet for your keeping this all in order

Re: Introducing "Draco"

I am going to have to back out of the original #78 (Ti w/turbo)

However

I would like to confirm the original #120 (Al) now with Turbo, LuxI and CC

Aluminum 149.99
Aluminum Turbo head 49.99
AAA when ready

Many many thanks for sorting this out. I get so confused just reading these posts. There are so many options it hurts.

:goodjob:

Re: Introducing "Draco" [Serial deadline 07/02 Midnight]

#149 in aluminum doesn't look like it's going to happen, so I'll take any available S/N in aluminum, "stock."

EDIT so it looks like I can't read and got 64. 64 is good since it's 32 twice.

Re: Introducing "Draco"

Is #73 isn't waiting to be confirmed, i'd like that one only because that's what my Spy is. No worries though. I don't care enough to fight anyone over it.

CroMagNet,

Can I get 8, 18, 38, 68 or 88 if not too much trouble ? Please.

Many thanks!
AW

Re: Introducing "Draco" [Serial deadline 07/02 Midnight]

Aww??? I didn't get serial 99

I want TiCN with no turbo head...

Re: Introducing "Draco" [Serial deadline 07/02 Midnight]

Confirmed. #15

Re: Introducing "Draco" [Serial deadline 07/02 Midnight]

Hi guys

Just confirming I want Ti with Turbohead and SXOH constant current driver
Ideally I'd like 007 please in TiN
I was 067 but that seems not to be a Ti option?
Thanks

Re: Introducing "Draco" [Serial deadline 07/02 Midnight]

I'm still in for AL and prolly a AAA pack.
Still up in the air on the converter choice though.

Thanks

Re: Introducing "Draco" [Serial deadline 07/02 Midnight]

I am still in for a TiCN with lanyard/keyring attachment.
Any serial # is fine.

Thanks,

Steve

Re: Introducing "Draco" [Serial deadline 07/02 Midnight]

TiN #50 please. I hope its not taken somehow since the numbers got all mixed together. Also I think I'm off the backup list.

Re: Introducing "Draco" [Serial deadline 07/02 Midnight]

I'd like to confirm the purchase of #006 Al, constant current, Lux1.

:thanks:

EDIT: Just so this doesn't come out of left field later.. I'm considering the turbo head, but I'd really like to see beamshots first. Heck, I'd really like to see beamshots comparing the Draco to the ION in stock configuration. They seem to be pretty dang similiar, or am I wrong?

Re: Introducing "Draco" [Serial deadline 07/02 Midnight]

CroMAGnet, Please confirm Serial #88 for me for Al as posted in my previous post #371

They are absolutely different in every way.

Totally different LED Luxeon Vs Cree
Totally different reflector Custom McR VS Custom Ion
Totally different Battery 10280 LiON Vs CR2 Primary (But LiON 3.0v works too)
Totally different body DRACO is thinner and smaller
Totally different key chain attachment section but they both can stand on end

I too am looking forward to comparing the two but they are totally different and I expect very different beam pattern results

Re: Introducing "Draco" [Serial deadline 07/02 Midnight]

Makes sense CroMAGnet. I'll stay tuned for some beamshots, it will definitely be interesting. The one thing I'm praying for is that the amount of twisting between low/high is not nearly as much as that required on the ION. In my opinion the amount of twisting needed to get to high on an ION is a bit excessive.

If this isn't too invasive, may I ask who is designing the constant current driver? Is there any sort of overdischarge protection designed into the driver so that the batteries don't "let out smoke?" :naughty: Also, is there no chance at all for HA3? I hear this Nickel Electroless plating isn't as tough and if this is suppose to be a keychain light I'd really prefer something AT LEAST as tough as HA3.

Also, is there any chance of getting a cell or two and the nano charger sent out with the light all at once? Would you be willing to offer that option? It makes sense since almost no one has these 10280 cells or the spacer needed to charge them in a nano.

:thanks:

Re: Introducing "Draco" [Serial deadline 07/02 Midnight]

Mr. Cromag

Please change mine to the following:
Two for me, please:
#147 in Al with whatever coating both Standard Head and Turbo with SXXH Lux I.

#148 in AL (Coating doesnt matter to me, standard head & Turbohead, UXOX,PIC)

and the serial numbers dont really matter to me either

Thanks

Ryan

Re: Introducing "Draco" [Serial deadline 07/02 Midnight]

CroMAGnet,

Thank you for being the Keeper Of The List

.
To confirm, I am #132 for Ti and #133 for Al on the original list.
I am #16 for TiN and #75 for Al on the latest list.
No turbo heads, constant current regulation, Lux I's for both.
Absolutely confirmed.
Awaiting pricing and runtime on extended battery packs.
Serial # does not matter, so if anyone wants my #'s, I'll be happy to take whatever #'s you give me.
