QUOTE(tescogot @ Jan 22 2016, 02:40 PM) it really is mind boggling how some sites do sell it for almost double the price lol..this is exactly why i guess some local outdoor shop arent very friend friend with me...makes me wonder on the prices of other items kept asking for price of maybe 10 items..but end up only get 2 or 3.... sometimes, they really never check price with competitor... like some knife, shop A sell RM180...another Shop B sells for RM350...dafok who wanna buy from Shop B la...they never do market survey on price izzit? or thought all consumer richfag like bijan? and even if busy, then check lelong/lowyat also la....like my multitool..Lowyat ppl sell for RM180 (eventho i got mine for less than RM100) and some shops here sell it for RM250....i really dont understand how they make business.. nowadays everyone also have smart phone...jst go click few times can chck right on the spot how much website ppl are selling... if they get their stock alot more expensive than internet based seller, those who doesnt have a physical shop, then those shop owner really waiting to close shop liao... |

QUOTE(graphidz @ Jan 22 2016, 02:44 PM) Weird this topic is in RWI. It's like free post count lol. Anyway, I DIY'ed myself this thinga few days ago. Coz if i put them in /k, it will be swamped with stupid stuffs...i dont want non-EDC to come in and kacau..and most dare not because if kena report straight bora2...![]() If you're wondering what those numbers are, they are actually sizes for hex screws. I bought this at a local hardware shop for about RM9. Then bough some screws because the provided screws are too big. Hence i have it in RWi...it's real, and it's serious stuff...EDC not for everyone, only niche group.... Nice..the last time i saw this was at EDC forum..wanted to try, but i dont have tools that can cut keys or punch a nice hole on them. Wat u use to drill them out/cut those keys? And btw, swiss tech or something, sells this kind of key holder...and some of it s model come with a sharpened key to act as a knife...u can get the saw type if u want too. but not cheap..each around RM80 or so.. |

QUOTE(tescogot @ Jan 22 2016, 02:46 PM) yeah as if like they did no market research at all but then still, those who are into this kinda stuffs, usually surf the web for new tools and review...then for sure we know how to check prices on ebay and compare them as well, among other sites. maybe they think that this is a niche market so they dont expect much sales It's time they price their items more competitively...and we dont have to buuy from overseas and risk : 1) kastam tax 2) local hobby shop closing due to lack of sales This post has been edited by Armata: Jan 22 2016, 02:50 PM |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jan 26 2016, 06:03 PM) just bought 2 new toys. nice!! But where's the glass breaker? cant see in the photo...sanrenmu 7045 blade that comes with seat belt cutter and glass breaker, and a olight i3e...single mode at 90 lumens. the i3e is in the middle of the SAK 58mm and fenix LD01...its so nice and small [attachmentid=5916295] and the i3e..AAA cell? I used to EDC AAA due to it's slim size...but cant last long in term of lighting..so decided to go for CR123/RCR123 instead....so any chance of jumping over to RCR123 cell? |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jan 26 2016, 06:12 PM) glass breaker is behind the seat belt cutter at the butt end. ahh..i zoom in and can see abit..its blocked by the seat belt cutter right?speaking of CR123, i tried the new 2016 fenix E15...much much better than previous version...too bad price also very nice...rm135...zzz. i just dont feel like carrying CR123 anymore cos run time not much difference and have to travel abit to get good CR123...while AAA the energizer lithium ones very easy to find. the E15...is it twisty like old model? i have a twisty CR123..but i find twisty, albeit it's safe to put in pocket, is quite hassle to turn on with 1 hand..... and i think pretty standard liao. In fact might be cheaper d..last time i got a nitecore twisty on CR123 at RM140..and that's like 2-3 yrs ago..so even with MYR going down, i guess RM135 is pretty good price liao. Aiks..cr123 run time short? Hmm..maybe i always go for low/med mode, hahaa.. but get recharfgeable ones la..Olight's RCR123 very good price at around RM20+ a pc only...can tahan high draw also unlike AW's brand. Oops..i dont go for primary cells..too expensive liao...only rechargeable for me..except my AAA lights..seldom use now..and after my friend lost the 3pcs of AAA eneloppies..decided to jst buy those Zinc Cloride from Tesco..cheap and seldom use. so a pack of 4 at RM3.20 can last me a yr or more.. Still...nice haul bro!! |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jan 26 2016, 06:28 PM) ya E15 is twisty. This is my only AAA light..got this because it's a true floody to complement my other throw lights.. but being an AAA, max at 90lmn can only last me around 40-45 mins with eneloop. Tried using it once during BBQ in beach..but need to change battery twice..still, being ultra light and small, i guess there are downsides. but the 2016 version requires very little twist action to turn it on unlike previous one...and got new 450 lumen mode using the rechargeable. nitecore here too expensive...even the tube also so pathetically priced RM40++...then again i also got a nitecore EA11. my old version E15 i bought before iirc RM65 only...but flipped it cos didnt like that i had to twist it 3/4 at least to turn on and wasnt firm action...but dont think i want another CR123...too heavy on keychain. AAA risky to use rechargeable...cos got no protection and i like to play high so sure my bulb will all burn. only my AA ones i use 14500. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I gave up on twisty nowadays..but if it's as convinient as what u mention, then maybe it's worth chcking out..since 450lmn is is pocket rocket to me..which is good for both Wow factor & lighting up huge areas.. but yup, if it's keychain, then AAA is the best by far.. I am not sure if there's still any nitecore around..i saw gadgetworld already stopped selling..and another local seller i know off also moved to other brand..but with the likes of Fenix, Olight, Eagletac, Zebralight still around....minus 1 or 2 brands also wont impact much for buyers like us. If u want high lmn..then it's only Li-ion bro either CR123 or 18650 Okok..maybe 14500 also can......but 18650 is the gem bro..the gem.... took me many yrs before i start venturing into li-ion cells....jst could no longer ignore those >900lmn lights..

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jan 27 2016, 01:41 PM) got ppl still bringing nitecore, but price is expensive. never own a zebralight before...but more because it's expensive and back then only have headlamp. But that's a really weird manufacuring process..i wonder how they sustain for so long.. Zebralight also less ppl bringing, cos they got weird system...will only manufacture if got orders... turn around 3-4 months... by that time probably new model come out already. my nitecore ea11 is >900, so enough for me. for single 14500 it can throw just as far as my fenix tk09...guess all those lumens really help. later on im probably gonna grab the jetbeam sra40...rm250... lol..that nitecore ea11, i nearly bought it..coz it looks so sexy with it's slightly bigger head.. how much u bought back then? close to rm250? Jetbeam SRA40 : http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showth...BEAMSHOTS-VIDEO But dang, doesnt it look like nitecore's mini ea4 or something? i handled the nitecore before..damn good throw..i think easly can throw up to 150mtr in semi-lit area...if totally dark, it's gonna be an awesome search light on AA cells! But ever since i bought my Fenix TK40..i decided many batteries light is not for me...charging 8 cells is very troublesome. Though 4 AA seems pretty OK since most charger comes in 4 slots..but then again....18650 can do all that AA cells can do and more.. Switch to 18650 if u havent..with Vape around, getting those cells are easy and cheap!! Apart from overdraw which might causes explosion in non-protected cells, they are awesome!! 1pc of 18650 can tahan long long liao.... |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jan 27 2016, 02:27 PM) i got my zl sc52w i think rm220+. lol..soda can..that's about the right size indeed. nitecore ea11 iirc around rm250. old already forgot, need check receipts... ya nitecore got soda can ones... i think ea41 is newest...but jetbeam still out throws it. i got plenty of eneloop AA lying around for camera flashes... so dont mind since can use for lights. but my single AA ones i got enough 14500 to last. Nowadays i go for as cheap as possible d..my last Olight Baton SR10 costs RM200 + 1 Olight RCR123 which is being sold at RM25..so roughly put, only RM175 for that olight and it comes with a charger base..no need to remove battery from light..jst put the light on the base, and it will auto charge...kind of like wifi charge on Handphone..can consider that lar since u dont have to buy a separate li-ion charger. now i know why u love AA liao...before i venture into 18650, i have over 20pcs eneloops....but since i am not a photographer, i got those solely for my light purpose...now branch out to shaver la, remote control la, mouse la, etc....since i focus on 18650 d, hahaa.. oh btw...the nitecore ea11, when i bought for my friend...that guy was doing sales..bought it for RM90 only.. If not for my home minister, i would have bought 1 for myself too.. oh well... |

QUOTE(emilyc @ Jan 28 2016, 10:01 AM) What do you guys think of the Fenix E12? I'm thinking of getting that as an upgrade to my E05. Choosing it for more lumens as well as a longer battery life and yet still relatively compact, better for outdoors whereas E05 is more for urban use. Only interested in AA or AAA batteries as they are easier to acquire. Well i bought around 6 Fenix E11 for my family members..they are pretty awesome for a simple UI/mode light for those non-flashaholic type. Has been over 3 yrs now and all are still working good...I googled and saw E12 has 3 mode instead of E11's 2..i am guessing it's gonna be even better! And yup, i used to think i should focus on AA and AAA due to ease of acquiring those cells.....but once u have 18650...well......u will know once you have over 40 18650s....though that doesnt mean u will abandon AA/AAA coz they do come handy when you need to borrow to ur frends without worrying..or travelling. Still, i wud say E12 is a good choice! how much is it selling now? Last time i bought the E11 for RM48 each.. |

QUOTE(emilyc @ Jan 28 2016, 10:51 AM) What!? When I bought E05 three years ago it was already RM55! I was choosing between E11 and E05 but opted for the latter as I wanted it more for urban use. Plus, it was about 25% cheaper. I think the E11 was around RM75. Aye..and i tried asking for discount. but only will be given 10% if i take bulk Qty which is 10pcs and above.. Anyway I've been waiting for a redesign on the E11 because tail stand is so useful! They finally did it. E12 is RM115 from gadgetworld2u. I wonder how much it will cost at the outdoors shop as they have a reputation for selling cheaper than online prices Either ur supplier get his goods more expensive...or he's a very rich fella now.. regardless, i hav my faith in Fenix so far.. But eh, E12 now costs RM112? Serious? That's expensive eh..!! I jst saw gadgetworld2u brought in some Mini-1...so small..comes in titanium/stainless and has it's own 10180 battery..which i guess is way smaller than C2? And stainless one is priced at RM135 only..with 2yrs warranty.. u might wanna consider this..coz it's so small and convenient, comes with a battery of it's own and charge through normal Micro USB...so very very very convi and nice i would say...with 2 output mode..9lmn at 6.5hr and 130lm at 30mins..pretty goood..better if they can rake up the 9lm to maybe 15 and have it at 4hours...coz not sure 9lmn's gonna help much...still, i guess during emergency in totally dark area, 9 lmn's pretty ok gua....but i bet all of us here usually have 2 lights on their body when going out..so adding a 3rd like this as backup will be nice.. and oh, did i mention it's only 4 cm in length?

QUOTE(emilyc @ Jan 28 2016, 02:43 PM) Where did you buy your E11 last time? Ahh..i see..i guess once ur bitten, its difficult to have the trust back.Haha I prefer regular batteries like AA/AAA over rechargeable ones. Sure they are more economical but they don't last as long. For example I bought the Creative Muvo MP3 player back in 2005. It uses a single AAA battery. 11 years later it still works! In comparison my brother bought the Muvo successor with built in rechargeable battery and it stopped working after around 3-4 years. The first time I learnt the lesson was with my digital camera. I chose Panasonic FZ5 because it was cheaper (still a great camera btw), but everyday I wished I had chosen the Canon because it uses 4 AA batteries. It was like RM500 more expensive though! My FZ5 still works but the battery is only so so. Quite impossible to find a replacement So now, standard batteries if possible! Primaries are definitely the best..but not cheap if you play around with ur light nearly every night. Hence i opted for Rechargeables. But if assuming it's RM500 price diff, then yup..i would make the same choice as well..RM500 can buy alot of primaries d.. Bought mine from a Lowyet seller long time ago..forgot wat's his name also d..sorry. |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jan 28 2016, 04:00 PM) mini-1 is meh...i was already trying it deciding between that and the olight i3e which i finally got. Wah..good info bro! i was about to bite the bullet only..haha....the mini-1 is quite hard to operate one hand...that should be quite obvious due to the size. and when turning off, sometimes u rotate the body instead of head...then wonder why not going off now that u mention on the turn on/off might be mistaken to unscrewing the body, then need to wait for CPF's review liao.. Thanks mang...that's a very valuable info indeed! |
