![]() One day, it suddenly stopped working and curiosity got the better of me and I opened up the glued head to find the LED was blown.Īnyway I better stop ranting on about how great this flashlight was when it was functional because I’ll bore everyone! ![]() Without this thing I probably wouldn’t be even here, and stuck with the chinese AAA 1 million lumen junk! it was basically like a flashaholic’s first convoy S2+ for me, except maybe overpriced. I purchased it a number of years ago, although Klarus wouldn’t be as prominent of a brand on the flashlight scene as Imalent or AceBeam, this was my first enthusiast grade flashlight. Not the first shop with supply.I kinda feel a good place to start this build thread is with its backstory: So this was my first ‘‘real’’ high-powered flashlight that runs on lithium batteries and outputs 900+ lumens. I will choose a renowned shop with a lot of positive reviews. What have I learned? The next time when I will order Kaptop tape. Maybe I have secured it with kapton tape □ So next time you receive a envelop from me. But it is not a recommendation to use this tape near hot sources. I can still use it as normal tape and to secure cables. It’s not that the tape is a waste of money. On the right, you see what a soldering iron does. The hot air gun is deforming the end of the tape. You can see in the picture that the tape is deformed after a beam of hot air was send to it. I have a small 300-watt version I use for heat shrink tubes. But slowly you saw the tape getting holes. The soldering iron melted holes in the tape. I connected my soldering iron to the power and set it to a safe temperature of 250 degrees celsius (Normally I use 300-350 degrees to solder). If I had stopped testing I would believe the tape was real. Get a heatgun and point the stream of hot air on the tape.Heat a soldering iron and hold it against the tape.The moment you take the lighter away the fire should stop immediately Get a lighter and try to put the tape on fire.I found three methods I can do right away I google how to check if the Kaptop tape is real. It took 11 days to ship the tape from China to Ho Chi Minh City. Most shops had always one size out-of-stock. I wanted to have a broad selection of tapes I can choose from. I started to search on the common shops I use in Vietnam to order things. ![]() (It’s invented in the sixties) It doesn’t matter if I order a fake version. I made the assumption that Kaptop tape is an old product. It’s not easy to find the real deal in Vietnam. Then you can already guess that I didn’t use the right source to order six rolls of (fake) Kapton tape. ![]() You have read the title of this blog post. Also is this tape useful to secure cables and connectors. You cover all the nearby components with this tape. If the stream of hot air isn’t pointed right enough you can have a chance that you also heat the components you don’t want to heat. You have to aim the hot air gun on the components you want to solder or remove. The distance between the SMD components is shrinking. Nowadays (almost) all electronics are SMD components. In many Youtube videos, I have seen they use a small stroke of this tape to protects the sensitive electronics when using a heat gun. If there is one product that was on my wishlist for a long time: it’s Kaptop tape.
