I have the best Girlfriend (U2)

Ok so valentines day is coming up right? Today my girlfriend said, "I got you somthing for V day but i cant wait to give it to you." she then hands me 300 dollars and says, "This is for the U2 surefire, i know that you want it but i was afraid to get it because i want you to get the right one." at this point my jaw dropped and i nearly fainted. So needless to say i have found the one =)

Anyway i was wondering if there are any pila batteries that will power the u2 successfully?

is there anyone out there that is in love with there U2 and wants To share their story?

Next day air isnt fast enough DAMN!

Marry her. NOW.

You'll have better luck and cheaper costs with some 17650 protected cells from batterystation. Or you could run 18650. But I'd stay away from pila. They damaged a tailspring in my latest u2.

And they cost 3x what other brands do.

RIGHT NOW!

...better start saving for that ring, dude.

Pila 168S (now "600S", IIRC) should fit no prob, you just need to insert them through the head (not the tail end). TD's the only person I've heard who's had a problem with them. With all the recent problems with the U2 tailcap, I wouldn't be surprised that was the issue and not the actual cell

the least you could do is sell 1 of your lights for the ring, that will show her you care too...

and of course later on you just buy it back since SF isnt gonna go out of business anytime soon, but the right girl only rarely comes around if at all

Yeah, mine surprised me with a Dominator 10X for Christmas. I'm not sure but in some countries that does count as marriage! God bless our wonderful girlfriends, wives, sisters and moms without whose support we would just be nutty guys waiting for the sun to set!

I am another lucky one-

My fiance (as of a few hours ago, I finally proposed), is also supportive of my bizare hobbies. It's all about acceptance, I know she'll go spend money on shoes and makup, she knows i'll spend money on tools and flashlights, and that's ok with both of us...

She also happens to really like my flashlights, so that's a bonus. I bought her a dorcy 1xAAA LED light for her purse, she loves it. also bought her a vector spotlight for the car, which she uses to shine out the back window when people tailgate her, lol.

Propose MAN!!!

I've got some support, not as much as some of you. But even high-end flashlights is not the "most-expensive" hobby you can have. I think my wife appreciates that. When she sees a new guitar, I always get questioned. Is that new? How much? With the flashlights, she always thinks they're cool and doesn't ask so much. Maybe she sees the lights as something we need (I've been working that angle). Either way, when my modded Fenix's arrive, she gets the old 2 stage one (yeah old, I got it 2 weeks ago!)

My wife would be more understanding of my flashlights if I didn't shine my flashlights at her face.

At first I thought you were talking about the U2.. and I was going to say "Yeah I married mine too"...

Wow... the best my ex-wife could muster was to complain when I bought the $20 Brinkmann Legend LX.

Keep her!

Do I hear wedding bells?

thx to http://www.lasershows.ro

Quick Marry Her!
My wife is also very understanding.. and she Loves her SF L2!

reality check

After you marry her you will have to hide your flashlights like the rest of us do.

I'm guessing that you are going to be spending around $300 this V day.

As long as you don't sell a Fauxton to pay for the ring, that wouldn't be nice.... Most rings, if sold, could pay for many many SF's.

The only gift I've ever gotten that is better than that is nothing. That requires an explanation. My wife totally forgot my birthday one year. She felt horrible. Now she can never give me crap for missing an important date--what a great present!

Marry her before the illusion disappears!
You are one lucky *******. I lost my last gf just about the same day as I joined CPF. Is there I connection perhaps? :thinking:
