So what you are saying is that the tailcap has to be slighly unscrewed for the light to be off? Momentary on by pressing immovable button? Sounds clumsy. Damn stupid chinese engineers
i have not testet it with 18650, still waiting for them. Can't remember which ones i ordered, but getting more shortly. The good ting for me regarding dx and other shops with free shipping is that i can order multiple small shipments to avoid extremely high toll barriers for packages worth more than 40 bucks in norway. Ordering from shops without free shipping is expensive...up to about 200 dollars there is a customs charge of 18 dollars plus 25 percent VAT..above 200 the customs charge is 38 dollars plus 25 percent.. Therefore it is much cheaper to order many in small quantities with free shipping with toll barriers in place.
Yes. If you screw the tailcap down all the way, the light stays on. Unscrew it a bit to turn it off. The button moves.... But it moves ever so slightly downward before the light comes on, that you can't
feel the button move. You know the button works when the light comes on. However, the amount of pressure you have to maintain on the button is ridiculous. Do what I do with my L600, only use the twist for constant-on feature. (Not ideal. Especially if you want to use one hand. But it's less of a headache in the long run).
I use the Ultrafire WF-139 charger for my AW 18650s. It's very basic, takes about 5 1/2 hours to charge two nearly depleted 18650 cells. But it works reliably. The Lumens Factory bulb for the WF-500 is an excellent option.
To be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of DX. But I don't want to turn your thread into a DX discussion. The CPFers who are fans of DX will tell you that the best way to make sure you get what you ordered, is to order only 1 item at a time from DX. Want three items from DX? Make three seperate orders. Since shipping is free, it's a good tactic to use.
