This is my first greenie I bought, mostly because It was available locally, so I decided to buy it. Plus it was $10 off the normal price (FYI the batteries in the pics I have are NOT included lol those are extra.) Here are some pics of the basic pot mod I did, and I hope this helps other people out. :) Comments Appreciated. Hey, P.S., is there anyway of getting this thing to pop some balloons? Thanks! :) I love the macro feature on my new camera! lol

I went to the local Rat Shack twice and they don't carry them. Had never seen one until I walked in ;D
If you turned it up, how much current are you drawing ?? I've seen old Leadlights hit 65 mW and some die at 35 mW. I toasted a bunch of them before I learned the current limits.

I think 900mah? Because it says on the battery it is a 900mah Rechargable.
