    *NEW* Nitecore TM16

    I dont believe the TM16 needs high discharge batteries, so save your money and buy 3-5A 18650's.

    *NEW* Nitecore TM16

    I'm loving how they've adopted the EC11 dual rubber switches for this tiny monster. Other tiny monsters use those dual-stage single buttons which have varied in quality between models, so I like that they're trying something new.

    Maybe you can ask vinh. He has done mods with sbt70 previously might have some left over

    Dropped a handful of batteries about 1 ft. Keep em or toss em?

    I've started to unwrap the batteries based on HKJ's guide. They're purty looking underneath :hitit:

    The wrapper seems to get progressively more rigid over time, as I recall them being fairly soft when I bought them two years ago. Perhaps the heat generated by usage in a high powered light (like my TM26) makes the wrapper more rigid over time.

    Wow, these 18650 shrink wraps are really cheap. I can get 50 for less than $2 on FT. I'm gonna do it, and I'll use a hair dryer per your guide HKJ. Thanks again

    Hmm, so you guys think they're all good. I was expecting a bunch of "dump em and run" comments. Alright, I'll look into rewrapping them, thanks. Naw, it's not a disrespectful title! He's old, but he's still the man! :grin2:

    Hi guys, I have a bit of a weird situation that I am unsure about. I accidentally dropped 4 Keeppower 3400 18650 batteries about 1 foot onto a tile floor. I had them all in my lap as I was organizing some stuff in my closet and I sort of stood up and they all fell out and hit the ground fairly...

    PD35 and P12 and Surefire E1D real test

    All I could pull from this "real test" were a bunch of personal opinions which conclude with "Chinese lights are inferior". Well, guess what- though Surefire is "American Made", they are not classified as "Made in the USA". The distinction is because Surefire has parts made in places other...

    **NEW** Nitecore TM26

    I assume he was talking about the thread being dead. Anyhow, has anyone gotten their hands on a 4000 lumen TM26? Anything noteworthy?

    SRT7 reliability

    So...funny story. I felt like my SRT7 ring was getting a bit slow about a year ago, so I dug through my house to find some kind of oil. I found what I THOUGHT was sewing machine oil and poured a whole ton of it in the groove above and below the magnetic ring. I then moved the ring through all...

    So you sent an MH10 back... wrong battery too? :D:D:D

    Nitecore EA21 beamshot

    +1 Yeah the MT21A actually looks like a pretty good thrower. I was a bit skeptical because of how small the reflector looks, but I guess it's got a bit of depth too.
