Jay, do you have any beam shots of you phr, 4x, 6x, and red build? im curious to see what a >200mW blu-ray looks like coming out of something that tiny lol.

Dark

comp glitch. delete.

My 6X Key Chain is putting out 268mW's through my 405-G-1 glass lens. I'll get a beam shot later today and post it...
Jay

Ask and you shall receive...

(beam shot with some smoke)

That's nuts, looks so different coming from such as small host.

It's one of my favorite lasers because of how tiny it is, but still has power!

What if I just want to buy a drilled tail cap and nose piece? I can send you the unmodified tail cap and nose piece from the one I already bought, so you'd only be out shipping and cost of time(work). I did take the sticker off of the tail cap that I have...but somehow I think that it doesn't matter, or it was a favor and means you won't have to waste 3 seconds taking it off yourself...but anyway, how much if I send you a tail cap and nose piece and you send me back a drilled out tail cap and nose piece?

You would be better off just buying my kit with a new host, because it will cost you maybe $2 or $3 bucks to ship it to me, plus the packaging, and making the trip to the post office... (but PM me if you want to send it)

Here's my kit thread for the Key Chain 10280 Kit: (make sure you can get the battery first)

I recommend my new Key Chain CR2 Kit for a choice of a primary or a rechargeable CR2 battery! It also has enough power to run an 8X diode. Dave just build one at 441mW's!

Same length as this 10280 host!

My point is that I already bought the little flashlight from Lowe's. So buying a whole new kit will mean that this host is useless-ish (still a nice flashlight, but not worth $5 to me as a flashlight). If I send you my tail cap and end piece then you won't have to go to Lowe's and buy the host, and the cost of shipping will be less since the main piece won't need to be shipped. I'd like to know if you'll drill out the two holes and sent it all back to me for $25 or less.

I would do it for $28 plus $3 dollars return shipping...

Out of U.S. buyer assumes responsibility at that price. It should not be a problem though... (I would mark the package as a gift, with a description of 'Brass Bushings' with a low value of $10)

PM me for my shipping address if you want to proceed!

Alright. I probably will, in a couple weeks or so.

Seriously, i thought i would see more interest, this is an amazing little host, and it can support a high power 6x or more with a short duty cycle!

I'll be offering to build these soon anyway...

That's good to hear Igor!

These are awesome, but I think that most new ones stay away from it because it is a tight build, and it also requires being able to disable the stock circuit.

But if your offering to do the build, then there may be more interest!

Same goes for my new Key Chain CR2 kit!

Just so you know jay the v4 flexdrive fits in this host with no mods that's what i have in mine. Also flaminpryo's diode extractor makes replacing the diode so easy no need to pull the aixiz module out just push the diode out and you can unscrew the head without twisting the leads.

That's good information there...

Thanks for sharing!

Maybe there may be a few more interested in this build with that information. I have a kit available here:

Also, I know that AW does have the 10280 batteries now. Even though his site is not updated...
