Ok, so I have the laser. I'm very confused. As you know my second order only had batteries. So I requested the third order, it was sent out on the 4th of september, I get the laser today.. hold it.. something is wrong here.. why so fast? was it sent EMS shipping? Am I in a dream right now?
I track my third order on USPS.com to confirm..
Label/Receipt Number: RA82 4854 632H K
Status: Foreign International Dispatch
Your item left HONG KONG AIR MAIL CENTRE, HONG KONG on September 4, 2008. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.
so unless it's not updated yet... could this be my laser from my SECOND ORDER? my original replacement? was the laser itself extremely delayed? I'm I getting ANOTHER FREE laser in the mail within a week (from the third order)???
OK about the laser...
I first got it, put a UltraFire 2400mAh 18650 battery inside, for about 20 minutes it was fine, then i noticed the power started to fade, then it was outputing about 5mW, then less, and less and less... if i pushed the button harder it would work. I also noticed when i unfocused it that it was mode hoping, then it dimmed. I tried the unprotected battery that came with my original laser... same results... I was getting really bummed about this... another broken laser... i was going to go beserk!!!
I then tried 2 of my ultrafire cr123a batteries and it was BRIGHT!!! it worked great!... hm... then i remembered i still had another ultrafire 18650 battery (cuz it was a 2 pack) and it worked great! then I put my other battery in the charger and the red light turned on.. looks like it needed charging..
I will make a review, post pics..videos.. all that within this week.
