Wait...polkiuj already received the Ti Quarks???

Mine coming tmr!!!

Hmm i think a logo would be nice, simple one though. Too bad i suck at art lol.

i think this is the next standard in flashaholism.
Every flashaholic must have a multiple colored die emitter light even though most of us will never actually use them.

Just got my Quark 123 Ti from polkiuj!







But like what he said, super difficult to twist the head. Rough threads. But loving it.

Lol, those arent very good pics compared to the pros.
And i'm not into photography haha, just took simple pics of them.
My light has a slight greenish tint but not very noticeable unless compared with another light side by side.

old newspaper, u mentioned that u went to gadgetworld and they helped u make the threads easy to turn.
May i know how they did it?
Or maybe gadget can answer.

actually noticed that too, the threads are ok until it comes to the the o ring part then becomes crazy hard to turn, will see if i have any spares that can fit.

Wait this is the first time i'm changing o-rings, how do u take them off? at least without damaging the threads lol. using fingers but can't pry them. SOme sharp object? But i don't wanna risk scratching the light haha.

Thanks Gwen, or Danny, or the other girl...

ah just managed to take it out and replace it with the pd30 o-ring. (got the pd30 from u lah haha).
But have a question, the pd30's o-ring is not as 'fat' and as wide as the quarks, is that ok?
turns much smoother now but still got some resistance lah, something like the pd30's resistance.

Ah thanks Gwen.
I think should be ok cuz the moment it reaches the o-ring it gets harder to tighten meaning there's significant contact between the o-ring and the head/tail.

Oh yeah, the Ti doesn't cool down as fast as the normal aluminium.
So it really does not conduct heat very well. Cuz if it does it should cool down fast.

A good read.
Finally some data on the whole Ti vs Al thing that I've been waiting for.

i think u guys are damn fun haha.

I'm loving my Quark! But now thinking that i should've gotten the tactical instead.
A bit irritating to have to cycle to get to the level i want but then again, this light ain't getting much use.

I'm at a cafe now, one of those western thingy that youngsters go to.
Off to a lake later for some light tests.

Ah thanks for the update. Just about to ask some cpf members if they got any replies. Can't wait!

sorry pseudoblue, old newspaper, i'm in klang now.
only back late tmr night.

wah, I have a lake named under me.
Hey, we make it weekdays and earlier a bit lah haha then i can join.
We can test throw there, end to end about 160 meters but a bit of ambient light at the other end.

*went to gw2u just now, thanks danny for confirming that the o-ring i used is ok haha. Cheers

u have a light box?

eh but old newspaper didn't say he wants to organize a group buy wor.

cuz damon is a closet introvert. He stays in his closet all day and plays with his lights.

I think I fell in love with the Haiku...
Really really looks like a lightsaber...would be cool if it is.
