I tried one of my Ultrafire 18650's. The keylock seemed stuck in place, I wasn't able to take it out. The 2 screws that were causing problems seemed to have been changed, they aren't black, but thicker looking silver screws.
How long did it take for them to ship to you, and how long did it take for you to recieve it? Were you given tracking?
No safety features is fine with me, the only thing I would have wanted was a low power mode and the ability to focus it.
Glad to hear! I tried to order mine last night and it was unsucessful. Worldpay confirmed that it went through but I never recieved an email or was my card charged. I'm waiting on an email back from support now.

Where do I go to get a Spartan and does it ship ASAP? Has anyone done a power output on it yet?

Found the pic of the wires in a G1 going to the diode. They seem plenty long enough. G2 must different.

The Spartans are made by DragonLasers and ship from China. I don't know if they've caught up with demand yet, but mine took around two weeks to ship out IIRC.

There was a review, a lil bit over 1W output. They need 10 days to restock the units now.
Good review mikey, it seems that I got one of the better Arctic units.

lucky.. I wish the wires on mine were that long. Mine looked like scrap wires that were too short to use but they ended up using them anyway. The red one had barely any room for that headpiece to come out, and the black one was half the length, way down in the barrel.

Are you sending it back for a replacement or a refund? Did they reply back to you?? I hope so.

sending it back for a refund, gonna get the Spartan. I actually a had a very good customer experience with the refund:

at first I couldn't get through, my email was sent back saying they aren't accepting them, my ticket was closed, but it all worked out well, I'm just waiting on the confirmation email. He said I'd get an RMA number which is really nice. Most of the time when I have to send something back to China it's almost expected that I have to use my own money.

Well I hope it doesn't cost you too much $$ to send it back and the RMA/refund process goes smoothly and quickly for you. Are you able to order the Spartan right now, or are you going to wait for the returned funds before order from DL?

It shouldn't cost me a thing, that's what he made it sound like.
I ordered the Spartan right after my Arctic died hahaha. Unfortunately I'm going through the same thing and have to wait. But It should be less than 8 days now, better than 3 months.

God these things are sooo crappy. I'm glad I canceled my order. I mean wtf are they doing? They're probably having 11 year old children build these or something.
This is exactly the kind of failure that really shouldn't happen. I can see diodes dying randomly and driver failure. I can even see faulty interlocks and whatnot. However this is simply the result of extremely bad workmanship. And wtf is up with the head being stuffed full of thermal compound in the one picture? Talk about epic fail.
