Your fishing videos are the reason I have watched any other RU-vid videos ever. You were my “gateway drug” and still the best in my opinion. I have had lunch with you and the Garberg maybe a dozen times, not to mention Bravo 1 and several others. I can almost taste your rice and the very firm sashimi you prepared by the side of the river. You are a natural fly fisherman and I would truly appreciate another video on a small stream, where you effortlessly catch char trout after char trout, as well as the occasional Japanese native true trout. Thank you for what you do.
I just bought an olight seeker 2 pro, I kept wondering if I could work around those super expensive 21700... the answer is probably NO . Thanks for the video! spot on
Would you please make a full hunting and butchering video? I really need it. Your videos are delights of my life. And a sharpening video as well? Or a full series? Thank you
To use a non-Olight battery, run a piece of aluminum foil from the bottom of the non-Olight battery to the top, making sure the aluminum foil does not touch the positive terminal.
I melted that black ring off with a soldering iron using tape to protect the surrounding metal area. They won't work in other flashlights and they won't charge in my 3 chargers without that black ring being removed.
That is good information. I have not seen that type of battery before. I have been using 18650, 26650, etc. batts for about 10 years, including re-wrapping. I will not purchase any product with this configuration. A proprietary battery is silly, IMO. Thank you.
@virtuovice if you take a normal battery, and cut away the insulation around the positive terminal, that will usually have metal under there which is the negative terminal. the same as this "special" Olight battery. So try that. Just cut off with a knife. Maybe you can tell us which knife is best for battery insulation cutting. Just BE CAREFUL: Do not let the knife metal short positive and negative terminals. Otherwise, the battery will be on fire!
Appreciate your videos and advice. Between the Bark River Bushcrafter, Bushcrafter 2, Aurora 3V, and Tundra which is the best camping/bushcrafter, and general use knife in your opinion?
Thank you for the informative video. I was on the verge of buying an olight warrior pro, but they seem to use the proprietary battery too so I am probably going to skip that purchase.
Hello Virtuo. I just received a gunny hunter 3v. My surprise has been that when measuring the thickness of the sheet with the caliper tool it has given me a total of 3.2 millimeters, I have also checked it with a meter in case the tool was damaged, but it gives me the same result. What surprises me is that there is no gunny hunter lt 3v, only in elmax steel ... I would like to know your humble opinion on this. Thank you
The M2R PRO shown in this video does not use 18650 cells, it uses the proprietary Olight 21700 cell. And a standard 21700 cell does not power on the torch (as shown in the video). You must be reading the description for a different Olight model. A few of their torches can be operated by a standard (non-custom) cell.
The design is not unique or proprietary, all lithium batteries have a negative terminal near the positive terminal and manufacturers prefer not to sell single lithium batteries because they dont come with a circuit to prevent the battery from shorting and exploding. The red battery seems to have a coating on the negative terminal shell surrounding the positive terminal so no circuit is created.
Did you try contacting Olight? They have been very helpful when it comes to battery issues in my O lights. There are some batteries that won't work in their lights for sure. There are also hacks to get other batteries working. That being said I'm glad their batteries aren't to expensive and since I only own the usb charging versions of their lights I haven't seen the need for allot of spare batteries. Although I am moving from Olight to Armytech because they have warm light led models and after your vids on warm lights I tried the type out and I prefer them to blue lights. Much more pleasant to use.
@@ProjectAnubisUSA Really cool. I like army tech but since they moved their distribution site state side their prices are stupid. I shouldn't have to pay a Canadian company 20 bucks to ship a flashlihjt.
this is why I will not buy any more Olight or Thrunite flashlights, they're current and future designs use circuitry ramped up to the max which require tweaked Special Edition batteries (cells) have you tried to buy a genuine Thrunite battery as a spare, don't bother. All these hyped up models drop down after very short run times too. Lately I have been buying Convoy and Sofirn flashlight good value for money unfortunately not widely sold outside of China check them out you may be pleasantly surpprised
Agreed. People need to be aware that Li-Ion batteries that short, will gas hydrogen and possibly explode. They come off the charger @~4.2v. and can produce 60+ amps. These are not Alkaline @1.5v batteries. With the positive and negative terminal that close, extreme care needs to be taken.
@@jasonburns956 I may not be communicating clearly, IF this battery is used in other devices, it could present a major problem. They may not notice, or be aware of, the pos/neg terminals so close "on the same end" of the battery. Similar problem with 9v batteries, accept on steroids and not as obvious.
