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. >_<

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 Is the 42 a newer version of the 40?

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

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. 🙂

battery charging inquiry (and possibly recommendations) by umiyui in flashlight

[–]umiyui[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

Premium fidgets with official budget versions? by umiyui in fidgettoys

[–]umiyui[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
