As promised, a brief review. Nicely boxed complete with printed owner’s manual and a decent quality micro USB cable. My first impression holding the
device? Solid with excellent ergonomics. Appears well constructed with a fire button that provides good feedback and an easy to read display. The power up and down buttons had good tactile feedback as well but could have been better fit. They did not sit quite as snug in their respective slots as the fire button did. Tested the 18650 adapter and it worked flawlessly. The black finish work is excellent though it does feel a bit slippery to me. No chips, scratches, or dents were noted. I would have preferred a stainless finish but black was all they were offering at the time of my order. A walk through of the various TC modes worked as advertised. Time will tell regarding the finish durability and the devices ability to take some punishment. Oh, the battery bay, I really liked it. A lot. The coolest concept in battery covers I have seen to date. Since I bought this as a work rig I will be doing just that, beating the fecal matter out of it. I do, however, want to offer one VERY important piece of advice. The 26650 battery. Do NOT buy this on the cheap! The Efest 4200 mah/40 amp (yea right) I had purchased for this
device had been wrapped and re-wrapped so many times I could not close the battery gate on it. As a result, I threw it in the garbage because I refused to try and force the door closed on it. In summary, great little device out of the box for the price and Efest
batteries will never see another penny from me.
