AWU Milanese loop

I bought the Milanese loop in medium and the fit isn’t what I hoped it would be. I was hoping the clasp would sit right in the middle of my wrist. My wrist size measures out to about 6.25 inches. If I pull the measuring tool skin tight it’s 6.0 inches. Would the small be the better band here or would it be too small since the advertised size maxes out at the tightest measurement I could take? I really really want the clasp to be in the middle for aesthetic purposes but if this is the best I can get I guess I could get used to it. I wish the Apple Store was closer so I could try them on in person.

Kordiz full grain case

I’m gonna try this kordiz full grain case. Wondering if I should go with dark brown, crazy horse rustic brown, or saddle. They all look good but for some reason I really like the way the crazy horse looks. Wonder if that will harm the way the leather feels in hand. It has a really nice look to it though.

Nomad modern Camino leather

I just bought this case and put it on my phone yesterday. After one night on my MagSafe charger this ring appeared. I know overtime this happens but is it normal for it to happen so fast? Would leather conditioner fix this?

EF88 Cryo barrel possibly bugged

I noticed when using the EF88 it seemed to have more recoil with the cryo barrel vs using heavy extended. That shouldn’t happen. After testing in game I’m confident that the heavy extended barrel gives a better recoil benefit than the cryo does. I noticed it in the firing range and noticed it greatly in game. The cryo just performs worse than the heavy extended. It’s harder to stay on target at range and the recoil is more random. You also have to burst fire more to get hits like the spread is worse. It’s like it’s benefit of less spread overtime isn’t working. Has anyone else noticed this?

Wuben G5

I’m doing an amateur write up/review on the Wuben G5. This is a neat little light that has a white light plus a 2nd light that can be turned into a bunch of different colors. It’s 2-400 lumens and within that range it can be adjusted stepless with the scroll wheel. The head of the light can be rotated forward, backward, or straight up. Makes this a pretty good headlamp or work light tbh. The pocket clip can rotate to either side of the light and tucks away when you don’t need it on the light body. It has a magnet on the bottom that works well and has a sliding charging port cover that also serves as a nice lockout button. Locking and unlocking the light has a very tactile click that you can see and feel. No worries about pocket activation with this. I’ve posted photos of it beside of an OClip Ultra to give you a sense of scale. It’s a tiny light. I can’t post beam shots yet because it’s not dark but as long as my memory doesn’t fail me I’ll come back and update with beam shots tonight. Build quality is good. Especially for the price and these little things can take a beating. This is an excellent little edc light that I plan on using a ton in the future. This is an affiliate link. You can get the G5 here at a discount if you use my link. Even if you don’t buy this or use the link check out some of wubens other lights. They have some cool ones. The owl is another dope light that I plan on getting soon. https://www.wubenlight.com/products/wuben-g5-yellow-flashlight?ref=wrbrfezj
Here is a link to the same light on amazon. https://amzn.to/4fqreNj
I believe it’s on sale there too. As a disclaimer I do not work for Wuben. They sent me this light to test and review it. This is only my 2nd review so go easy on me please lol. If you have any questions about the light I’m happy to answer them.

OClip ultra for work

Who else here uses their OClip, OClip pro or pro s, or ultra for work? I chose the ultra over the s for work because of OAL. I wanted it to resist as much outer damage as possible and OAL is great for that, hopefully the dust in here won’t mess it up.

Is there anything better than the I3E EOS in this size?

Is there anything actually better than the I3E in this size? Energizer lithium battery and this is a solid little 90 lumen keychain light. It’s so lightweight you legit can’t tell you’re carrying it.

I have an affiliate link with Wuben but have not posted it here. This is just a link to the flashlight. I’m not employed by Wuben. Just posting a good deal to a neat flashlight.

OClip Ultra

I’m about to buy an OClip Ultra. Should I buy the Stars and Stripes or the olive green one? The green is a classic color but the Stars and Stripes looks so good to me.

Olive green vs onyx black ArkPro Ultra

Do you guys prefer the green or black ArkPro Ultra? I was going to get the green but decided on the black because of the detailed finish. The more I see the green in photos the more I wish I would’ve gotten it. I’ve heard the black resists scratching better than the green but man the olive green looks sweet. Maybe I’ll end up buying the green as well but the Perun 3 and Seeker Ultra are on my list first.

2010 Kia soul with 8 speaker sound system

Greetings everyone! I have the 2010 Kia soul with the sound system upgrade. It has a subwoofer in the back, tweeters up front, and a center speaker up front. I’m getting no sound from my center speaker, the subwoofer barely produces any bass and I can only hear it gently thump when drums hit, and the whole sound signature is very tinny overall. Is this a wiring issue or do I need a new head unit or amplifier? I’m trying to tackle this in the cheapest possible way since there’s other things going on that take financial priority but I do need my stereo to sound decent. Right now it doesn’t. The sound is so hollow without any bass and treble is taking over the sound.

Sor-556 and 300

Anyone else really like both of these weapons? The 5.56 with synthetic is a 3 shot headshot at all ranges and the 300 is a monster up close. You could argue that hollowpoint is better for the 5.56 because with hollow and syn it’s a 2 head 2 body but the 3 shot headshot can be useful at times. Especially when they’re already damaged or are on a head glitch. It’s saved me more than once and it’s always fun when you 3 shot a sniper at 100 meters. I wish the 300 was a little stronger at range but it’s not terrible and is usable past its first two damage fall offs.

Wuben X5 write up.

I’ve been testing this X5. This is an interesting flat light with a design that’s different than other mainstream options. It has a white light, uv, and laser. Max brightness is 1,300 lumen, 10,000 candela. It has 5 brightness modes with strobe. The modes are spaced well and have a good mix of throw and spot. It doesn’t have much tint either. What sets this light apart is the battery and construction. It’s built like a tank and it uses a proprietary battery but you can swap that battery with another one or 4 triple a batteries. The included lanyard is also a usb c charging cable. The laser is plenty bright if that’s what you’re intoxicated Class 3R 5mW. Overall this should be a reliable work or edc light. It also has a stout pocket clip that can be put on either side of the light and an ip65 water resistance rating. If you’re looking for a flat light that’s literally built different for daily carry or needing something stout that’s going to get you through a rough work day give this one a try. You might like it. You can see the x5 along with all of Wubens other lights here. Disclaimer, this light is not released yet. It releases June 9th. This is an affiliate link that takes you to wubens website. Even if you don’t purchase anything I would still encourage you to check out their offerings. They have quite a few well designed lights ranging from small pocket lights to large throwers with built in replaceable cooling fans. https://www.wubenlight.com/?ref=wrbrfezj

Arkpro ultra questions

I would be very interested to know how olight packs so much brightness into emitters that are this small. The spotlight emitter is so tiny. The smallest I’ve ever seen. My AA fenix has a larger emitter than this but it’s not as bright. The flood emitter looks like it’s got some size to it but how is the spot emitter so powerful for something that’s so small? It looks like it’s the same size as a piece of sand.

ArkPro Ultra

Bought my first ever olight and it’s shockingly good quality. The fit and finish is perfect. Looking into the arkpro and the arkpro ultra and decided to get the ultra because of the upgraded build materials. They claim it’s a good bit stronger than 6061. Maybe it’s some type of 7075? Either way I like it. It’s bright enough to be useful in many situations and I love having access to spot and flood on one light. The laser and black light is more of a gimmick for me but the light and its available brightness levels is useful. Are there any other lights in a small pocketable form factor like this that does a similar job?
