I am gonna buy this kit now :bumpit: It would work with an O-like 18650 w/ charger and a 445 diode, right?

Are you asking if it will work with an O-Like module. as for the other questions it is a 18650 host and the unit I built is a 445.

Re: 1W 445 Mohrenberg Host+Heatsink Sweeeet Review + Build Tutorial

The case pin is used to complete the negative circuit from the battery.

The setup can work like this for a flex or groove driver.
Normally with the flexdrive setup you would bridge the case pin and the negative pin to provide the negative contact from the host.

I will just give this post by Jayrob it does a good job of explaining the microboost setup:beer:

Do you have to bridge the case pin with the negative pin on the diode for it to work?

On a case negetive normal build, you can bridge the case pin on a blu-ray or 445 diode if you need to. But that is if it's for a FlexDrive. Not for a MicroBoost. The MicroBoost is different. Refer to the explanation and picture shown here:

If this is the host you are planning on using the driver and diode I sold you on I will solder the negative driver input to the case pin.:beer:

This host does not have a good place to get the negative contact from the host so the case pin is used or you can bridge the negative pin and the case pin to provide a ground which would be difficult since I have already soldered the negative pin on the diode and covered it with shrink tubing.

Alright then I will set it up with the negative driver input to the case pin tonight and send it out tomorrow.:beer:

EDIT: Fixed spelling error

@DTR: I noticed that you wrapped the driver in electrical tape. Should I do this with the flexdrive I am using in mine? I am using the same host and you set it to 1.5A
