Ok, here is the video fresh as of a few minutes ago. Laser is reading right over 2500mw and staying strong.

I just finished a build that I would like to sell. here are the specs...
The host is a 2c sized mag that has been shortened and re-threaded for a pair of 18350 cells and the head has also been finned.
Jib 1.8a driver
M140 diode
405-g-2 lens
2, 18350 lithium cells
I machined 2 separate sinks for this laser. If you are not familiar with the c mag the space in the head is much larger and the aluminum sink for the diode is huge. I also machined a separate sink for the driver to sit on and once the driver was bonded to the sink I bonded a solid copper sink to the top of it as you can see in the pics. Arctic silver thermal epoxy was used for all bonding.
I finished the build on this last Thurs (2/9/12) I metered it tonight (2/11/12) and this laser on my brand new laserbee II metered 2566mw. On the chart you can see where the power jumps up at 2 points. This is because I did not have the beam all the way on the sensor. I had to adjust it twice to get it all the way on the sensor. All components were brand new and the total run time is less than 3 minutes at this point and I do not plan on running it anymore.
Asking $300 shipped with insurance and tracking.
