    What watch you're wearing?

    Vostok was never really on my radar until I read an a watch forum that they are known as the AK-47 of the watch world. They are often very plain looking or even ugly at times and while being very affordable they just work well. I also saw a video online where a man tests various watches in a...

    What watch you're wearing?

    One of my favorite beaters for nightly wear on duty. Trusty old Vostok that runs +2 sec daily and cost me about $150 total. I have several Vostoks and they are all performing very well.

    For Sale - Flashlight Antique Ecko copper flashlight

    Jim I believe the owner of this light is currently on a vacation out of the country. Give it a week or so and reach out again afterward.

    Peak aficionados, show and tell!

    I remember this project and it was a nice design. You asked why it never really went over well with police and although I can only guess I will give my opinion. I believe this was a light from 2017 as you mentioned and if so by this time the 18500 was not very common. The 18650 was still used in...

    USB on board charging....

    Everything about the EV fire was different than what I have seen with other fires. It did have a very unusual sound and even looked much brighter than a normal flame. It was almost like looking at a welding torch. This is also another reason I do not like to carry lights that use multiple Li/Ion...

    USB on board charging....

    Pocket sand....ha that is the funniest thing I have heard in some time. I responded to a garage fire on an electric vehicle and there really was not much I could do. Our local fire dept was there and simply held a small perimeter until it was finished. I watched it burn and it is hard to explain...

    Sold/Expired Peak LED Solutions, Malkoff Devices

    I agree it is interesting and as most know I have several Peak Prototypes as well. I really am not too interested in anything in 18500. I still have a few lights that use the 18500 ( Pila - Wolf Eyes ) however have not messed with them for 25 years. I also like the Mule as anything in AAA from...

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    I just bought several of the Noctigon KR4 and new KR3 with multiple emitters and each has the optional 18350 adapter. I bought these as I like the lego style they offer and with the 18350 body they remind me of a much improved version of the original ARC LS. I am an absolute sucker for anything...

    Should maryjuanna be legal for non medical reasons?

    From a long time officers point of view I think out of most all of todays vices Marijuana is the most easy to deal with. I have never really had to fight much at all with weed smoker. Drunks are far more worse as well as meth addicts and harder drug users. When I say weed smokers are usually...

    Experimenting with MDX 21700 Bodies

    Oh sorry I thought these were the true designs. I just skimmed through the cool pictures and should have read a little more. I still like the concept and physical look of the designs. I also like the fact you are including the group with your ideas....good luck with the project.

    USB on board charging....

    This thread just made me realize I also have a massive amount of batteries. I have tried to use up anything alkaline and stick with Eneloops, Lithium Primary and Li/Ion rechargeable. I have them sorted by size and chemistry however they are all in a single upstairs room with all my hobby stuff...

    USB on board charging....

    Yes some habits never leave me and I have duplicates and triples of many favorites. I may eventually learn to appreciate these newer designs as it seems lights are kind of taking off again. For a while it seemed emitters had just stalled however today I see many that I have never heard of and...

    Experimenting with MDX 21700 Bodies

    This is a very interesting thread and reminds me of the old days here at CPF. The entire group sharing input on designs and just imagining the possibilities. Bravo I say and it is a very nice looking start. I have no knowledge at all on 3d printing however if it can be used to design lightweight...

    USB on board charging....

    The light I am considering (Nitecore P27IX) has a battery that can be removed however even so it can not be charged with my external charger due to the proprietary contact points on the cell. Like yourself I trust the external chargers much more. If my charger fails I can buy another one or use...

    USB on board charging....

    So from what I can understand is that for li/ion cells it is heat that determines battery health more so than the actual charging algorithm. I was going to try the new P27IX and just deal with the battery by charging it outside the light. I then realized you can not even do that due to the...
