If you still in the hunt for Nitecore Tube keychain light, Gearbest is selling it for US$6.29, from 8pm to 5am, today and tomorrow only.
Nitecore Tube

Bear in mind though that waiting for shipping from Gearbest can be a PITA though, so if you order the light from them with free shipping, prepare to wait for at least a month.
And please pay through PayPal in case GB screw up your order or your package never arrive

thanks bro..but saving money for MH20 instead..

MH20w bro.
Coming soon

woot!
wat's the difference with normal mh20?

warm tint for the LED

i prefer cool tint...

For concrete jungle, cool tint is nice, but for nature walks with lots of greenery, warm tint with high CRI is much nicer

Hmm..then maybe i should bring my TK40 nxt round during camping coz that's the only one i have with neutral tint...

If only Nichia created an XML2 sized and powered Hi CRI 90 led to replace all Crees

I'm guessing the 7D3 bin is the only one with 90 CRI but it's a piss ugly incan yellow

deciding between the xtar vc4 vs nitecore d4
and also what 18650 batts should i get?

bought olight m22 and nitecore mh20 recently

I've the Xtar VC4 and also Nitecore i4, which is basically Nitecore D4 minus the digital display.
If I were to buy my first charger, I would buy th VC4, as it is a much faster charger, which can do 1A for 2 slots or 0.5A for all slots while the D4 can do 0.75A for 2 or 0.375A for all 4 slots.
But with the Xtar, you need a good quality USB plug, at least those that can output 2A, like iPad plug, to be able to charge at full rate. With the D4, any power cBle with figure-of-8 plug will do.
However, with that being said, my main charger is Opus BT C3100, as it can do so much more than both chargers and can also do 2A for 2 slots or 1A for all 4 slots.

Battery-wise, any cell based on NCR18650GA or NCR18650B, be it in the stock form or under rewrappers brands such as those from Keeppower, Efest, Soshine, etc, should be good for long run time. My 1st choice cell always been AW, but they are getting harder to get and expensive so nowadays, I'm quite happy with Keeppower.
I don't think you will need those cells with continuous 10A like those use by vapours.

AW is populated with fakes now lol
fake rewraps of trustfires etc.

even if it's genuine I'm scared now

My current dream battery is the Sanyo NCR18650GA

Intense capacity with quality drain for power hungry lights. But they are a hefty $15 to pay.

Since Lurker is using olight m22, battery protection is on the light so unprotected is good enough to save some cost.
Just don't put these on 2 cell lights. (eventhough the chemistry is safe but let's not risk it shall we?)

I agree that there are many fakes AW flying around and buying the legit cells direct from Andrew Wang himself is really testing your patience and HK Post will only ship Li-Ion cells by snail mail, unlike few years back where can get the cells in within 1 week. Nowadays if I want to get the AW, I buy direct from F-stoplight in Singapore if I'm in SG for business.

I do have two NCR18650GA and a Keeppower 3500, which some said is based on 18650GA, but not as many as NCR18650B as the 18650GA in stock form only comes in unprotected flat-top version, whereas the18650B can be had in button-top, flat-top, protected or unprotected variation.
On some of my flashlights, like Nitecore TM16, it can only take button-top, hence my continue usage of 18650B or 18650BE cells.

well I have to agree that

sorry lol too used to diy modding that I'd just buy this,this and this to install it myself lol

I rarely use solder though. A tight squeeze first and a thin layer of superglue to hold it in place before wrapping the cell is all I ever do on my batteries

Thanks for the 2 links. Will need to dust-off my heat gun and solder kit from the storage

And these just in. My 1st Convoy, in matching blue and red, direct from Simon.
