I'm gonna make this really simple (which is very unlike me)

This is my original 6X BR "project" list that I was gonna go by, and everything was great until Jay ran out of the kits right before I was gonna buy, and he just recently found out that the kit is backordered. I've been waiting quite a while and planning this project for a VERY extensive time, and I am really nearing the mentality of "I WANT A PONY AND I WANT IT NOW", if you know what I mean.

JayRob Mini-Chrome DIY Kit - $45 :wave:
JayRob Flexdrive "Hot" Option - $48
JayRob 405-G-1 Glass Lens Mod - $55 :D
JayRob EZFocus Adapter (for Micro Chrome) - $20
Shipping to the Assembler (let me know if it's okay to put your name here) - $6
6X BR GGW Diode in AixiZ Module (buying from assembler) - $57
Assembly / Installation of everything aforementioned - $20
Shipping to me - $10

Let me know how many of the above mentioned things you have and are willing to sell (e.g. Just the kit; the kit, the glass lens, and the flexdrive; the kit with module installed; etc.). Please don't offer just the diode/module, just the assembly, or "just" anything (unless it's JUST the kit) well I think you get what I mean. ;)

I'm probably going to have the diode set at about 185mA or so... not 100% sure yet though. Advice is welcome, and please post any thoughts/comments you have on this.

Thank you all and have a great day.

peace & :thanks:

p.s. Damn it turned out pretty long after all... :D

Yeah my order arrived, but it had one of those slips showing the item number... (when there is a missing item on the order)

Their site does not say 'back ordered' for the host:
DealExtreme: $19.95 UltraFire A6 Stainless Steel Cree Q5-WC 120-Lumen LED Flashlight (1*10440/1*AAA)

It probably means that the light is available, but they are waiting for shipping from their supplier.

Anyway, if anybody knows another source for this host, that is also a good option...

I have not seen it elsewhere, but I never really looked either. So I will do some searching. But if somebody already knows where it can be sourced, please share the link! :)

Edit: Oh here it is here:
http://www.bestofferbuy.com/ultrafi...0lumen-led-flashlight-1104401aaa-p-14263.html

I'll order a couple right now, and if you get your kit elsewhere, no problem, I'll need these at some point...

Edit #2: Just ordered. They are claiming 5 to 12 business days for delivery...

I have one of each of those items on your list. As a matter of fact, they are all put together where each & every one goes. (not by me, my hands shake too much for that fine of work. A VERY GOOD FRIEND built it for me & did a FANTASTIC JOB on it !) I don't want to sell it though, it's my highest, best built, BLU-RAY I have. It AVERAGES 260mW's with half dead batteries. (I just metered it).......rob

I have one That I could sell you. Fully assembled?
I made one as a gift for Christmas, but got greedy and decided to keep it:)
It was ordered with the hot option set to 190mA. It is using a GGW 6X diode.
I would sell it close to what I paid.

Host 45
hot option 48
GGW + aixiz 57

Figure 10-12 bucks for shipping with insurance and my time, plus I'll include the 10440 battery?

Who is your builder? Or are you going to do it yourself?
I'm DIY-retarded (can't solder or anything... in fact I can barely handle a knife) so I'm having Dave (Daguin) do the assembly. I wasn't sure whether or not he was okay with me saying it so I omitted his name in the first post. On second thought however, I figured it's okay. Not to mention he's publicly selling a completed 8X build in his "big sale" already so no harm done. I was just concerned about his safety... :shhh:

Btw do you guys think I should get the 8X Pocket Mini from Daguin's Sale, or wait it out and stick with the original Micro Chrome plan?

peace & thanks

You have to go with your own 'gut feeling' on that one...

Either build will be very nice, it's just a matter of which host you would like to have.

If you decide to wait for the Micro Chrome, I have ordered the hosts from the source linked above. I have also ordered some of the SS 10440 hosts, which is also a very nice tiny build, very similar to the Micro chrome. (but better IMO):

I have 2 of these MicroChrome's from jayrob - One is built and one is not. Both have the stock acrylic lens. and no ez focus rings.
Built Laser has a 6x set to 190mA - The only things left from your list is the glass lens and ezfocus ring from jayrob.
Unbuilt laser - you can have whatever you want done with this, I can include a LOC and a V4 flexdrive for your builder to make a matching red laser. (It's "mostly assembled" it just needs the driver and diode to be set and installed.)

Sorry I don't have the free time to build it for you (Otherwise I would have done it for myself!)

I like matching sets so it'll have to sell as a set.
If you're interested PM me and I'll put together a price for you (cost+shipping)

hey Jay, do you think I can pay pay you for increased-speed shipping? If you already ordered, do you think it's possible to order another but with the increased shipping? As you can probably tell, I am really starting to :drool: over this

lol

Well, I just looked. And even with DHL, they say 2 - 5 business days for $11.80 extra...

The free shipping says 5 to 12 business days. But I ordered on 2/12, so that's 2 business days already.

But it's up to you, if you want me to order one more with DHL shipping, then you can PayPal me for the order total. Or you can just order it and have it shipped to me...

Send me a PM! :)

Wait Dave are you selling a Micro Chrome in your "Epic Sale"? If so, consider it sold; but regarding the Pocket Mini, I decided against it. I'm just probably going to end up waiting it out with Jay (in which case I should change the title of this thread soon...).

Jay, do to a series of unfortunate events :whistle:, this project of mine just keeps and keeps and keeps on getting delayed. When you said that it's already been two days since you ordered it, that number should actually
be 0. Why? Happy CHINESE New Year! BestOfferBuy actually has a special note on their website about it, stating that any orders placed on or after the 12th (coincidence much?) will not be processed until the 22nd or later. With the flurry of orders they must have gotten during this period of no service, they probably won't get to your order ASAP.

On a positive note, my local hardware store is having a sale on 7ft ropes... you know, just in case.

Anyways, if you send an email or two to BOB before the end of their holidays, you can most likely intercept the order before it's processed and change it to DHL (faster) shipping. If you're willing to do this, just let me know and I'd be more than happy to send you the $12 (or however much it is) to cover it. Thanks enormously.

Peace and blessings

That's a bummer...

Try to look at it in the long run though... If this host is something that you really have your mind made up on, it's going to be worth waiting a couple of extra weeks for...

In that time, you may even change your mind??

If so, no harm done for me, because I will end up using the hosts that I ordered sooner or later. But can send an e-mail to see if they even respond...
