Šis bakas yra puikus! Dieser Panzer ist großartig.....so on and so forth.

However, there was one in English by Jai Haze but he hates MTL tanks and practically threw it across the room:laugh:

Did you look on the ft forums? I find that sometimes the most relevant info is there.

@DeloresRose ... This is the battery from my flashlight next to a brownie for my mods. Pretty close in size. The flashlight also came with a cage for 3 aaa batteries. @Rob B. ... if this is not a safe flashlight battery, please let me know so I can recycle it and order something appropriate. It’s what came with it. 2810D53D-28DA-4B3B-9DE8-93C9C52DCC27.jpeg

What a beautiful view though! I’m three blocks from the Mississippi River, but the 20’ levee eliminates the view. What a joy it must be to get to see that every morning with your coffee and vape
It is nice ... and the fact that directly across the river is a nice sized park (about 100 acres) with plenty of trees, gives a view that makes it easy to pretend I am not located well inside a city of 700,000. :)

I’m sure even if a 18650 from vaping fit in the flashlight Delorse was using that a protected one would fit too.

I had to explain to my husband my batteries were different from his for his headlamp. I thought I was losing my mind.... batteries kept going awol, until I caught the “thief” :lol:.

Wow. Sorry about that. That's happen to me a couple times. I just turn the sound off and watch to see if I can get any info anyway. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it's just a waste of time.

Thx Letitia, yes I did. FT only has the YFTK and I have the SXK so I was hoping to find more info on that. The consensus is totally positive on the KA-V8 so I'm sure I won't have too many issues with it.

goodbye
I’ve been using an 18650 meant for vaping in my headlamp from work:unsure:

Yes, it works for sure, but as @Eskie said, the 18650’s we use in the mods put out a lot more power, which unless your light is specifically made for higher power batteries, there is some danger there. The battery can overheat, and you seriously shorten the life of the led. I personally wouldn’t use them in my regular led lights. Ymmv. ;)

Okay thanks. Wonder where I can get a protected 18650 ? It takes either 3 triple a batteries or if you take the adaptor out it fits a 18650 nicely. Maybe I’ll stick to AAA since my work pays for it anyways.

I wonder at what voltage the battery stops working in the lamp. I let it get to 2.7 volts once by accident but now I am sure to check it daily after work to make sure I don’t bring it down below 3.2 volts just to be safe.

I forget how low is too low for the battery ?

thanks for the encouragement. I need it! I’m on my own now and everything is a huge struggle.

Aww @Fidola13 I wish we could be on our own together! LOL I would help you get around and you could be my anti-nuts Anna coach. Although I WILL say these freaking Steroids which I was told to keep taking do seem less prone to "divorcing me from reality."

Oh man the doc was funny. He sort of stared at my bottle of abx and I was like, "I am allergic to Keflex and clindamycin." He was like, "Well, I wouldn't take THAT.." And I was like, "Yup." Then he asked me if I had ever had a Z-pack and did it work." I was like, "Uh huh." I also was coughing into my mask so when he asked about my sputum, I just took it off. But, he handled it like a man. He also was like, "Inhaler, Mucinex, yep, if you don't get better you gotta go to the ER."

Then I was like ,"Can I get the pneumonia vaccine?" He was like, "I will order it and you can get it when you are not sick." (This is one awesome feature my work has and they don't charge you a copay even.) The abuterol inhaler is now a fine white powder, those suckers get weirder all the time.

He was also dressed like a construction worker. He was the super tall, sort of pudgy half African-American, half-Hispanic dude and he was wearing shredded jeans and like busting out of them all over. His shoes... they were barely shoes. No lab coat, for sure.

Strangely enough I can get behind a doc like that. I made an appointment in a couple weeks for like, in case would not bug me about my thyroid like Evil Thyroid Doc who started out all like, "You must feel terrible!" And I was like, "Nope, feeling pretty great, actually." We'll see. It would be nice to got to Tucson as little as possible and in a more touristy fashion.

But you could still counsel me in nuttittude (LOL maybe) and I could help you get around. Feel BETTER!

I usually go to Illumn for my battery needs. Illumn.com - Flashlights, Batteries, Carry Gear, Intelligent LED Lighting, and More!
Should have whatever you need :)

I ordered some by mistake I have NO clue where they are but I could look. I got mine from IMR batteries by mistake. One of them I destroyed by removing all the protection... I was like, dood, maybe if I take of this Incredibly hard to remove wrapper and then I got to the metal strip and I was like, "Um, Anna, this seems wrong somehow." So, I put the battery down and like backed slowly away from the incident.

But if I can't find them IMR does sell them. .Mine were Samsungs I believe but not so much the Samsusngs I wanted.

Which builds or bridges do you recommend? And since you’re all over the BB, is it the only device you use since you got one?
No it's not my only device as I still need something with a bit more draw from time to time and I couldn't entirely give up my squonkers and others.

Having said that it is the vape I have with me all the time. It's such a perfect form factor. Flavour is amazing and when I started using one it coincided with a desire to have a more relaxing and slow vape.... Rather like a pipe on the terrace in the evening. It just nailed it :)
