=== Drake / Draco Payment === (PART 3)

[DFiorentino]

DFiorentino: For your case you need to order a Drake battery tube, and a XRE LE (not listed), and turbo head upgrade (reflector modification). All in all it should be ~$30 cheaper than if you purchase the entire set.

Okie Dokie. I thought it would be easier to mod the Luxeon turbohead for a Seoul, but whatever. All I need is for you to tell me what and when to pay and when to send my turbohead to you.

[Rookwood]

Will there be an upgrade path for early buyers of the Turbohead?

thanks
Chris

Draco AlTiN/TiCN are currently shipping. All others are on build queue.


Draco's FluPIC v1 User Manual


Draco/Drake's FluPIC v2 User Manual

So, which is it?
Also, I didn't see emitter selection in the options... I guess they're all Cree right?

[kenster]

A post ordering a Drake stated they wanted a 350ma CC driver. Is that a different driver than the FluPic? What is the drive current of the FluPic for the Drake? I think I have the emitters figured out, maybe? Drake or Draco, Chrome or Titanium, they come with a Cree and all Turbo heads come with an SSC P4. Is this all correct? If anyone knows an option that is not listed here in the first post or in the first post of the info thread (like that driver), please chime in! I haven`t been keeping up and there are a so many links and threads to read about these lights.

Jonathan, I picked up a Chrome Draco from the Shoppe and I LOVE it! Now I know why everyone was so excited about this light! I`d say you hit one out of the park! Can`t wait to check out the mini Drake and the Turbo Head!

Thank you,
Ken

*** EDIT *** Now I see the Constant Current Regulation Driver! Doesn`t mention being able to choose drive levels though. But I may find that in a minute too! Ooops!

That was me. I have a Draco from the first run with a FluPIC driver and want my Drake to have the simplest UI imaginable, on and off. 350 mA should be plenty in terms of brightness, even with that tiny 10180 battery (which might end up delivering less than 350 mA to the LED after the inital voltage drop).

Hi Jonathan
I would like the Prem Ti Draco AlTin with lanyard hole
Has it got the FluPIC v2 & Cree?
If the turbo heads aren't done yet will you send the Draco separately?
I will also order a Drake a few days later -perhaps the head can be sent with that when you finish?

Thanks
Dom

[jefft]

Jonathan, PayPal sent for (1) Drake Standard Titanium Package. Time to buy another car to rationalize a new keychain light.

[acourvil]

Ordered 1 Ti Draco Premium Package, paid via PayPal
Included my email in PP comment, but forgot to put in my CF name, acourvil
Would like TiCn, Ice Blue Trit
Thanks!

[Harald]

Can I order a Ti Drake with your simplified UI (on-off) 350mA constant-current?

[AndyTiedye]

I want a TiN Drake with the full Flupic 2.2 (strobe and all).
Premium Package.
Should I do CC PP or would you prefer local pickup/pay?

If possible delete the Nano charger. Already have one from prev orders. Love my Draco in Chrome and in Ti. They will love their litle brother.

[Mr. Hubert]

Has anyone here ever broken a sapphire lens? Just wondering if it's advisable to have an extra one on hand, just in case it were to break, even if it's years down the line--when parts for the Draco's will (probably) no longer be available. How tough are these lenses?

[modamag]

Guys all new Drake and Draco sold are utilizing the latest Cree XRE technology to uphold my promise of performance.

Rookwood: Upgrade for previous owners are available. Send it back to me with instructions and give it some time for upgrade.
dom: Cree XRE is standard. The fluPIC used for Draco/Drake are custom to simplified operation. Standard FluPIC 2.2 can be order if you so choose. Turbo heads are done.
jefft: How did you know that I'm trying to couple a Drake with the Mini Copper.
acourvil: I have you down don't worry.
Harald: CC @ 350mA are available for order. Just put it in PP note section.
AndyTiedye: I'll have to custom order the FluPIC 2.2 from goldserve.
Either form of payment is fine. PP will help me keep the record. Cash @ lunch is always fun.
Varriano: You have $7 credit on my book for the Nano charger.
Mr. Hubert: To my knowledge, no one have broken the lens yet from normal use. I have manage to scratch it due to some destructive testing.

[Toglud]

Jonathan,
there seemes to be some small errors in the reservation list.
First of all I have ordered a Titanium Draco not a Drake, the spacer and batteries should then be 10280 instead. I think it should be 3 O-rings (I ordered 2 + 1 extra in the package.) Finaly it should be Titanium Insurance.
I hope this helps you getting the correct order put together, and I am looking forward to recieving my Draco.

Torben.

[jch79]

Jonathan,
there seemes to be some small errors in the reservation list.

I'd say - I'm not even on there!

Jonathan, I PP'd on 6/15 - details on post #30 above. Let me know if you need the PP receipt!

[Nebula]

Jonathan - It looks like there are a couple of errors on my reservation . I ordered two O-rings (one extra in addition to the stock o-ring) which may be reflected, I just cannot tell from the list. Oh, and I only want one battery spacer not two. I hope this helps. Thanks. Kirk

[tdurand]

Jonathan-
Just posting a confirmation....
I'm not sure what the "A" and "C" mean in the Ti coating column on your reservation list. If "A" means AlTiN, then I'd like that on my Drake and turbohead. (Which I thought was the default configuration.)

Thanks
T

[modamag]

Sorry guys, I should fire my sales department, what a muck he (me) made.

Toglud: Order corrected.
jch79: John, Inbound PM.
Nebula: Kirk, you accidentally order a saphire lens instead of an extra oring. I'll change the order and refund the difference.
redeos: you have 6x battery tubes (2x Drake & 4x Draco) in total but only 5 tritium. Could you help specify which tritium color goes to which tube.
tdurand: Coating change noted.
The coating column is used as follows.
"A" = AlTiN / "C" = TiCN / "N" = TiN / "D" = Diamond (not available) "Ti" = bare Polished Ti. Note if you order more than one coating type it's in the special note section (not displayed).

[Nebula]

Jonathan - I still want the Saphire lens. I also wanted a second O-ring just in case the original stock one fails. If I owe more let me know and I can send it with my other payment (for the exotic coatings). Thanks. Kirk

Once more i return to this thread because this little light just doesn't sease to amaze me.
I packed away all my belongings, along with my draco spare cell and charger in Ireland on May 11 and handed them over to a shipping company, which at the time told me that my stuff would be delivered within 3-4 weeks.
So i thought the draco would be ok working without a re-charge over a month and being my keychain/EDC light, it did see a lot of use (2-3min a day plus a few blasts on max setting to amaze my friends :P).
My stuff arrived on June 19 in Greece and the Draco was still working fine even at max setting !

Now i know that it's better to charge the cell once every 2 weeks or so, but on the other hand it feels good to know that i have a nice, reliable and long running light on my keychain that will perform as stated for over a month between charges.

So yet again HUGE CHEERS TO JONATHAN for such a wonderfull creation.
Thanks for making this little wonder available to us simple mortals
