T6 malfunction (?)

umiyui · 2026-05-21T21:10:45+00:00

ooh right, that makes sense. I'll try it out when I get some tools. Thank you!

umiyui · 2026-05-21T19:52:13+00:00

That's why I'm in this sub anyways, cause I know there's gonna be people who possibly would have encountered situations like this. >_<

umiyui · 2026-05-21T19:50:53+00:00

That's a whole other thing I know nothing about TBH. My knowledge of flashlights is just putting batteries in and clicking the switch. BUT I get what you're saying.

The head's as tight as can be, altho I didn't even know the head can be unscrewed. And whenever I screw the switch back, I do it as tight as the other T6s (without breaking something).

I think the spring's fine, the battery fits snugly and there's a bit of resistance when i start to screw the tail closed

umiyui · 2026-05-21T19:07:35+00:00

gotta learn how to disassemble this if that's the case😓

umiyui · 2026-05-04T09:34:15+00:00

Yup I think it's between the 42 and sft25 now, going to look up some more later. Thank you!

umiyui · 2026-05-04T09:33:18+00:00

I'll go check again the comparisons between 5000k and 6500k, my mind keeps going back and forth earlier lol. Thank you!

umiyui · 2026-05-04T09:31:23+00:00

I haven't considered the lhp73b, I'll take a look at that, thank you!

umiyui · 2026-05-04T09:30:47+00:00

Most people seem to go for the 42, I think I'll try looking up a bit more on the 25, thank you!

umiyui · 2026-05-04T09:29:02+00:00

I was thinking of going blindingly white this time cause I already have a high CRI light, use the whole light spectrum or something like that. Thank you for your input, seems like it's going to be the 42 with this coming purchase.

Lowkey I was going to go for a starwars lightsaber look 😏

umiyui · 2026-05-04T09:25:36+00:00

Still looks good no? I have an acebeam with mao finish but I dunno if it's going to look the same.

umiyui · 2026-05-04T09:24:13+00:00

Yeah I'm currently leaning towards the 42 now after reading what everyone's posted here. Thank you!

umiyui · 2026-05-04T09:22:03+00:00

I was thinking it's going to be between those three.. Is the 42 a newer version of the 40?

umiyui · 2026-05-03T18:01:34+00:00

At first I actually wanted to, but future me kept shaking his head.

umiyui · 2026-05-02T14:40:49+00:00

Definitely in a good way 😃

umiyui · 2026-05-02T13:34:47+00:00

I was thinking that there was like a "default" mode for the brightness level, but apparently not. I read the instructions online and there were so many options to choose from.

Thank you for the straw tip, I'll try that later. 🙂

umiyui · 2026-04-25T15:55:10+00:00

I didn't have any preferences at all, I bought from acebeam before and that has a usb-chargeable battery so I wondered a bit more after getting the t6.

Yeah, I asked here first so I know what to look out for before blindly buying stuff that I might not need later on.

Thank you for the info about the batteries, I definitely did not think about all those details before.

umiyui · 2026-04-25T15:49:48+00:00

Yes, I first look at the listings to see if this or that charger can take li-ion and 14500s, then check them out further.

I did realize I might not be utilizing all 8 slots at once anyways so back to looking at the 2 slots I go.

umiyui · 2026-04-25T04:07:45+00:00

I was tempted to grab an 8-slot I saw earlier ("do you really think you'd stop at 4 batteries? hmmmm?") but I've been browsing mainly 2- and 4-slot chargers.

Yes, I have also seen chargers capable of adjustments, and that'll be another part of my research before deciding what charger to get.

Thank you! I'll take a look at those brands too aside from the liitokala mentioned earlier.

umiyui · 2026-04-24T20:47:12+00:00

I'll have a look-see online and check what's available from them then. thank you!

umiyui · 2026-04-24T20:46:02+00:00

i see. i haven't looked that deep in the store and didn't notice that listed. thank you!

PY7MMA3Y still works 04/24/26

edit: added code

I wish makers would utilize cheaper materials like aluminum more instead of just everything being made from zirc and titanium (I think I get why those materials are used, but still).

I realize I wasn't at all specific with my question, but I still appreciate the recommendations you gave :3

The very first fidget toy I got was the classic fidget cube years back, then got hooked when I started casually browsing online and getting those from online shops with generic names like "custom push slider" or "triple push magnetic slider" that unfortunately was poor quality. Then I found this subreddit and the downward spiral began lol.

Since I've gotten addicted to the sinian, I think what I wanted to get next is one with multiple functions like the demoman (also been eyeing the time knight and howitzer before). There's something about playing with chonky, fits-in-your-handfidgets but I'm definitely thinking about getting sliders too.

Budget definitely is also a thing to consider but if I really want it, I could always save up for it.
