TRACKING OF YOUR IGORT's LASER ORDER!

Hello all, i post to you some things that Igor told me for bonus reds etc.

"I'll wait for the others to get their blu-rays and decide on the reds, then we can all order the flexdrives together - send money to DrLava, and i make your reds, and later i get the FlexDrives... For making the reds i'll use the FlexDrives i have here..."

"P.S. I hope you mentioned on the forum, that you got your blu-ray, and that you're getting a bonus laser, to make up for the waiting? I want people to know, that i care first of all about making sure everyone is happy.. After all that's happened, some people don't trust me anymore, but i'm sure that you now know that i'm not a bad person, and that i would do anything in my power to make everyone happy, if at all possible. And if i fail to do so, that i at least try to make up for it (bonus lasers)..."

Suprisingly, I received my laser yesterday !!!!!

HAHA, it's a really nice one, rated at 192mw !!

Glad that you received yours
Have fun :wave:

Ah, sskiller (batch 2) got his today (or yesterday). He posted it on the primary 6X thread...

my friend starhawke just got an email from igor regarding batch 3.


here is a copy/paste of what he sent to starhawke

"Hey!


So you were supposed to be in Batch #3? I can do that yes. Things are getting better now on my end. Altho it took three weeks without sleeping!

But finally i can start accepting orders again, and all will be good in the end.


So if you are batch 3, did you get instructions from Franco on what to do?"

what is the expected lifespan of one of his blu's set for 200mw?

I would be guessing about 800+ hours, but I really don't know for sure. Igor would replace the diode if it didn't last 3 months, after that I would still ask, he'd be more than fair, and anyway, I see few reports of diodes failing when used properly. -Glenn

Sam7:

6x lifespan? That's a damned good question, but I think it's also difficult to give an answer, as it's too early to collect a practical experience "on the field".
From my side, what I can say is that in october 2008 I received from Igor a BR laser with a PHR diode installed in a Romisen host, having an output of 120mW stable as a rock, as you can see in the graph herebelow:



I used it to make a lot of pyrography (that means several sessions of several minutes continuously burning drawings in the wood) like that:



and it's still working flawlessly. Igor is really meticulous in his work, he has made a lot of tests to find a good safety limit for the diodes he uses, and if you want a diode long life it's better to follow his suggestions......:yh:
Off course it's up to you to ask him for a higher P.O. level, with the relevant consequences....

Concerning the batch 3 request/orders, as I already said in a previous answer, everybody is willing to have info on his laser (already ordered) or has the intention to order a laser in this batch is kindly requested to PM me, and I'll be happy to give him the right info how to contact Igor.

hightechdealz has a 6x diode/aixiz module/rkcstr micro driver set at 200Ma, which yields about 196mw. just wondering what sets igor's apart from this one.

That's an odd question, especially coming from someone who ordered a 6X from Igor already... :thinking:

If you mean this module from hightechdealz then for one, it's not a complete laser. You will still need a heatsink and of course a host. I'm not personally familiar with hightechdealz' work but he/she verifies the o/p of the diode for 60 seconds... .

From Igor, you get a

• custom-made heatsink specifically for the Romisens.
• custom-made driver (this was the days before the DrLava FlexDrive v4 which should alleviate the need for custom-made drivers).
• A 6X diode that has been efficiency-tested
• A 6x diode who's wavelength has been rated (for lack of better term)
• fully-assembled heatsink-module combo that has been tested for periods much longer than 60s...
• 3-month guarantee if the diode goes south
• General support and low-cost repair / replacement with no specific time limits, etc.

Is it worth $260...? I don't know, tbh, that's a question that each buyer must ask himself.

Igor is one of the best builders here, no doubt about that, but he's not the only great builder. Right now Milos has a nice 6X for sale and just looking at the images it's clear that he is meticulous with his work!!!

i was just curious.
i was exploring my other options, just in case.

hightechdealz has an ad on the front page and a certain prominent member already gave me their endorsement of them.

the romisen host is by far the best one i have seen.

Have you received your bluray? Or still waiting?
I am expecting mine to be delivered today :bowdown:
