I\'m really tired of that little puff of smoke . .
OK, I'll say it at the outset. I'm new to this stuff and every day I find there's more I don't understand. So far, I found one thing I am good at. That would be screwing up flashlights and their related components. My newest means of destruction is toasting parts. Lately, I've seen that little puff of smoke too much. My latest was the driver to my Nuwai Q3. I was running a Li-ion in it and that seemed to work ok. I thought I could handle a simple mod by replacing the LED and star HS w/ a Cree on its typical HS. They fit real nicely. I popped it back together and there's that puff little of smoke again. Seems the power was a bit stiff. This is really getting old quick. So now the question is: I'll use what ever battery I need to, but I can't continue to wreck this stuff. Any suggestions? Feel free to PM me. Thanks
