    Battery question from an ex-vaper

    Yeah from my vaping days any battery that stated ****fire were instantly frowned upon and as I was given the 2 BRC 3000's I couldn't complain yet never used them. The Panasonic CGR18650CH's 2250mah I have are an IMR Hybrid battery and considered safe chemistry but I only have 2 of them (matched...

    Battery question from an ex-vaper

    DIY 18500 to 18650 spacer which is working great. I cut down the bolt to the correct size and then hot glued into place with about 1mm of core sticking out to make contact with the battery as the sprung pin in the battery cap fits inside the delrin tube [/URL]2014-09-23 17.39.50 by gavincol78...

    Cree XM-L T6 question

    Cheers, but what about the fact that on the heatsink it doesn't say CREE XM-L on it just the letters LB. Could it be a true Cree module on a OEM heatsink? #Greta sorry about the link I was meant to remove but forgot as I had a bit of an issue trying to attach my photo

    Cree XM-L T6 question

    I recently got myself a XML-T6 flashlight via ebay and the first thing I noticed was the LED module doesn't say CREE XM-L and just says LB which makes me wonder if it is a fake module although the quality of the light is great
