first one I’ve ever owned and I’m pumped!
For those of you who’ve had one for a while, what do you wish you knew when you first got it? Any seasoning tips, must-have accessories, or common rookie mistakes I should avoid?
Also open to favorite recipes that really shine on a flat top. Thanks in advance!
I’ve been looking at the TORRAS Ostand Q3 Air case for the iPhone 16 Pro Max and honestly I’m a bit torn. On paper it sounds great. But when I look at the price, I just can’t justify it. I’ve personally owned plenty of cases that cost more than this, so I’m not afraid to spend money on a good case. Personally, I think anything over $45 is pushing it for this one.
It’s got 1K+ purchases in the past month and an Amazon’s Choice badge, so clearly people are buying it, but are they actually getting their money’s worth? Would love to hear from anyone who owns this case. Is the build quality solid enough to justify the cost, or is this just slick marketing winning over substance?
Been wanting to try out Convoy for a while and finally pulled the trigger on three S2+ variants. Hard to beat Convoy’s value honestly.
All three are using the Molicel P30B battery
🔘Convoy S2+ Silver
-LHP531 LED at 6500K
⚪️Convoy S2+ MAO
-SFT-42R LED at 5000K
🟤Convoy S2+ Tan
- LHP531 LED at 4000K
Beam shots are at about ~120’ft (~36m). Light drizzle and camera aperture locked.
Thank you to everyone in this sub, I’ve learned a lot in the past 3 months being here. Never knew I would collect such a niche edc item but here we are.
Currently waiting on my convoy order and thought I would share my current collection.
I grabbed all three versions of the ACEBEAM TAC 2AA and honestly wasn’t expecting much
.
#1🟤 Desert Tan — CREE XP-LR 6500k
1,470 lumens | 322m beam reach
#2🔵 Blue — Luminus SFT-25R HI 6500k
1,400 lumens | 304m beam reach
#3⚫️Black — TN High Density 6500k
1,600 lumens | ~181m beam reach
All three are pen-sized, IP68 waterproof, run on a rechargeable 1800mAh battery or 2x regular AA in a pinch. Sorry for the subpar beam shots (at approximately 42meter)
Just stopped by Staples on a whim and spotted an Apple Silicon iPhone 16 Pro Max case sitting on the clearance rack for $23, brand new. Couldn’t leave without grabbing it.
Long time SK-05 Pro 1 owner here. Been rocking it for a while now and honestly had zero complaints — solid build, great dual beam, reliable power bank function. When the Gen 2 dropped I was pretty skeptical it was worth the upgrade. Read through a bunch of posts here and people were hyped, but I figured it was just the usual “new thing” excitement.
Well, my Gen 2 showed up yesterday and I owe some of you an apology for my silent skepticism lol. The improvements are real.
