This close to committing a sin

[eamo]

Thanks It's at  home but I haven't unpacked it yet

seriously ? what you waiting for ??

[N_N_R]

Ok, here it is, I do not regret one bit getting it 

It's significantly heavier than it's aluminum bro (of course).
For some reason the vacuum packaging was PREOPENED  I hoped it was just the good intention of the seller of making sure I was getting what I was paying for, but they denied. Maybe the couriers did some crappy check 
It comes with a whole lot of crap like spare o-rings, keychain ring, an ugly BLUE lanyard (wtf), brochures. The box is cool and smells cool Luxury it reads.

I cannot see any difference between the flashlights in terms of design, just the "ears" of the copper one are shorter/narrower than my regular one. I'll probably notice difference in the lumens at night.

So this is the playboy bunny model?

[N_N_R]

Yeah, it's with your signature



I wonder when/how the GITD o-ring works It doesn't glow now, probably it has to first accumulate some light from when the light's on at night I.e. it doesn't work just by accumulating "daylight".

[dks]

If it is exposed to light and then you put it in a dark place it should glow. It only takes a few second to "Charge", unless it is different from what most lights have.

Think of us more along the lines of the tv show CHEERS 

NORM!

CARLA! 

[N_N_R]

Just some more pics for the fun of it

[dks]

quickly, before it turns green 

how do your hands smell?? 

[N_N_R]

quickly, before it turns green 

That's right I wanna have a few pics around while it's still new for comparison purposes later (Just like my SBL tobacco wallet.)

And it doesn't have any smell whatsoever  Maybe slight metal scent, but nothing unusual or anything that I'd have paid attention to if you hadn't mentioned it.

[magentus]

NNR I'm sure if you asked dks nicely he would buy you a couple. He's probably quite grateful since it was on your thread he finally got together with kirk. You could call it a finders fee.

Have you dropped it yet?

[magentus]

Have you cut yourself with it yet?

[N_N_R]

Have you dropped it yet?

Only its middle... tube when I'd taken it apart to have a look

Have you cut yourself with it yet?

NOT yet.

It's gorgeous.  My SS Worm also has the GITD bezel ring that glows after the light has been on.  I haven't really noticed if it "charges" with sun or other light sources

Yeah, interesting. I thought it should "charge" from daylight/sun, too. Otherwise, what's the point. If your light is on ... well, you can clearly see it. After having been on for some time, the GITD ring gets all glow-y, but for a very short time. It's not like your light will glow all night long next to you so that you can see where it is

Gimmicky to me.  I was indifferent to the GITD ring when I got the light, still am. 

[Sparky415]

Thats pretty NNR 

Cool light  I already have a Cu Maratac though, so I'll stick with that  (especially considering what these cost) 

Pic?

 

      

  It’s pictures like this that make me avoid the flashlight forum!

[N_N_R]

 

When are you getting yours? 

[HarleyXJGuy]

When are you getting yours? 

I thought you was buying one for all of us?

[N_N_R]

 I guess I forgot to add "000" after "1"  in "quantity" 


 

[Sparky415]

When are you getting yours? 

I've always loved the look of the copper Maratacs 

Maybe one day when I have 'spare torch cash'

[AimlessWanderer]

I'll try to remember to bring it to the next meet to torment you some more 

[N_N_R]

Yeah, as you see, it took me quite a lot of "effort" to decide to spend the money on it, but it was worth it

Let's wait to see if you feel the same way once it's tarnished, started going green in the grooves, and starts developing a weird smell that you can't quite describe 

 

[N_N_R]

I wouldn't have been able to make such descriptions as you guys ..... I think some of you need new pairs of socks..

Huh... Sorry to ask, but...

We're still talking about flashlights, right?...

 

[N_N_R]

The smooth parts of the light have already started changing   (maybe the knurling, too, but it's probably less visible )

I also read that it gets green only after YEARS, so ... I'll be spared for years, lol.

Is it made of solid copper?

Edit: I just remembered you said it's heavier than the aluminium one so it probably is.
