Question about green modules

I have a 405nm being built, and I am thinking about a green one now. I had a 5mw green laser and I know how bright the beam was it was amazing to me for my first laser but now I know a little more I would love to have a 100mw-250mw green laser. So I have been looking at green modules, and I wanted to confirm the assembly process to make sure its as easy as I think lol. I am under the impression that I can buy a 100mw 532nm module and drop it in a heatsink and then into a C6 host? Will it fit? All the modules I have seen have the spring does that need to be cut off or is there a way to modify the pill or something and actually use it? Thanks for reading :)

Yeah it should fit just fine. It will probably stick out the end of the host, but whatever.

a good idea is to buy 2x C6's and use the reflector peice to add on to the first C6, if you do this you can use a 18650 :)

see what i mean here in this photo from this thread: http://laserpointerforums.com/f48/aurora-c6-builds-70503.html

That's sweet I actually have a spare one! How did you wire it? Were you able to make use of the spring that's on a lot of the modules?

yeah man, its case positive, so the negative goes in first and touches the spring and the tail cap switches the positive of the battery to the case, you dont need the pill either so you can save that for another build :)

So you don't have to solder any contacts? Negative touches spring but how does the positive touch the module? Or is the module itself the positive?

the module is case positive, so its return is through the heatsink.

only thing you need to solder is a jumper to bypass the on-driver switch.
