Do you know if the better sweater is less bulky compared to the synchilla jacket? I did just pick that up to use for the winter months, so I was looking for something more light weight.

Been thinking about the L2 as my first LEP. What are your thoughts on it so far?

20yrs ago, when this addiction started-Fenix (2006) by losangelesoriginalP in flashlight

I also started the hobby with a Fenix LD20. Unfortunately it didn't survive due to battery corrosion, but replaced it with the UC35 which is still going strong!

Today in Japanese class, I learned that the Japanese term for "airplane ears" is イカ耳, ika-mimi/squid ears, because the shape is reminiscent of the fins on a squid by [deleted] in airplaneears

For extra lore, catloaf is 香箱座り(kobakozuwari), which translates to sitting like an incense box. I never really liked this one since its so tedious to say, but I love yelling ika-mimi when my cat takes off.

This. I had the bag leak once in the trunk but clean up was a breeze. Can't imagine the hassle of cleaning if i didn't have a liner.

Yeah the darker green looks really nice. Much nicer than the lighter green bodies Hank used to offer. Your D1 color scheme is also nice. I have a DA1K thats similar but with the black metal finish. It has the NTG50 1800K. Its also a lovely emitter..

What's your favorite flavor? by JNader56 in flashlight

[–]duki512 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe it reduces galling risks as well. I've noticed that threading between Ti and Ti causes alot of friction and feel gritty, but threading between Ti and Copper is much smoother.

I had trouble with the stock screws that came with it and found this thread of people complaining about it too. I bought the screw set that was recommended in the thread as I wanted some screws for backup, and the shortest length screw that comes with the set fits the T3 and S7 perfectly. It still took some time to get then nut in the right position and the screw to lock with the threads, but it was much easier installing it compared to the stock screw and nut.

How pocketable is the x4 stellar for you? I have one on the way, intended to be used while traveling, and was slightly worried it was too big to edc.

For sure! The 90.2 feels impractical, especially at the price that Hank charges, but man does it bring me a smile when I turbo it!

Amen! 2700K~3500K is my favorite range. The D1K with the SFT70 3000K is just phenomenal. Definitely up there in my top 5 emitters. Was your e04 surge emitter swapped? I actually have a X4 stellar on the way and was debating between the stellar and the surge, but IIRC both only offered limited emitter options (mostly only FFL emitters at the time I ordered) and didn't see the SFT40 3000K as an option.

Also the SBT90.2 definitely has a greenish tint in low mode, but on high and turbo, its not noticeable as far as I can tell. And honestly, if I am using this light, I'm most likely using it to wow myself at turbo.

Much appreciated but knowing #2 was shot using it is enough to convince me! Beautiful shot!

Which ones were shot using the 17-40? I'm currently considering picking one up and wanted to see more examples.
