To make it much easier...

I am trying to start a new GB #8 thread--
so much just changed there is now way to fix this one.
PLZ make new posts here--I will be adding the LIST soon..TY hak

http://laserpointerforums.com/f55/new-do-over-jetlasers-gb-8-thread-78253.html#post1125272





:wave:Always check this OP AND the unread posts to stay informed.


:thanks:gb #8 will be happening just in time for the holidays.


Only(so far) three models will be offered-- the Improved PL-E(V3) are now also coming in black and an 'army' green- more details on these later.

The safest and best duty/rest cycle that JL now recommends is 5 min max on and 3 min off or enough until the laser cools down- longer run time can be had but the extra heat will cause the power to flucuate.
Personally I would keep this down to a max of three minutes duty.
The focusing issue has been corrected , as well as the slight misalignment.



Go to Jetlaser.org for more details.

One on my favs, the Pl-D Pro, is back .... and the very best for use with the super closeout-priced JL Beam Expanders- no set screws are needed as the adapor is threaded to screw onto the PL-D.the crown of the Pl-D is removable. this makes for easy and near perfect mounting-

Supply of JL BEs is limited to stock on hand so these will be on a first come first served basis. With purchase of GB #8 laser and they will come with adaptors that work on other size lasers. These include Ti Pens/penstyle lasers - Pl-E and Pl-C JLs.

UPDATE AFAIK the 10X are out of stock

The switch codes for all JLs is now much easier to use.


Lastly I have reserved the last remaining Ti-Bs just for LPF GB buyers- less than ten left and at a great close-out price- only comes in 532 with the 100mW at 159.99$ and $6usd for equal share of the crazy fast and safe DHL Express--- at JL.org you will see the same prices but a $30 shipping fee- I will be able to send these to CONUS ....for the GB the savings will be the with less on the shipping- We cannot offer Ti-Bs for any less as they are no longer going to be available and AFAIK these are the last and no other company even sell Titanium Lases at all.
the last price was $199.00

Contact any member who owns a Ti-B and get thier opinion.

UPDATED PICS

go here and see a review of JL Ti-B 532 100mW.+
The OP was a review of the 445/300 mW
added the 532/100mW
LMPed just before going outside- peak of 137mW stable at 120mW- barely warm to the touch after ~ 3 min.
Contrary to the belief of some Titanium is not a good choice for heatsinking. .it does make a beautiful host tho and everything about it is very nice- about the only co,plaint has been the switch in the tailcap. ( < imo a mnior issue)



see post # 27 for new night pics

http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/r...-b-445-300-exclusive-65144-2.html#post1123269

Some did not like the switch- press tailcap button for momentary on and tighten for constant on.


So PM me to get on the list for any of the above- ATM I do not have the GB pricing on the Pl-E V3s or the Pl-Ds.

Pricing on the last BEs will be the same as the last GB.( see the OP)


Subscribe to this thread to stay on top of this (maybe final) GB.

Once this GB is underway offically those not in CONUS can contact JL/Gray and get the same prices but you will pay more for shipping afaik.

I still feel that having batteries included when shipping across borders is a BAD idea-
I can add a 14500 battery to your box for my cost of $8.75.. from Lighthound- 3.7 (full charge is 4.25vdc) at 600 mAh

if the box get inspected why would anyone want to risk it being siezed just to get some batteries on the cheap-
Penny wise vs pound foolish.

Good eyeware can be gotten along with the lasers but due to the added size of the boxes the shipping must be slightly higher.
In the past glasses/goggles were offered at a 50% discount only if ordered along with a laser.

:thanks:hak

***************************************************************


:D;) THE list(not binding)

1) IE---Ti-B 532(?100mW wants two if available)
2) Hak--PL-D Pro- 405
3) Hak- Ti-B 532 100mW.
$) n2stuffPL-E 532 ???mW
5) Jnhowett-TiTi-B 532/100 -B 100mW
6) Posite--ti-B 532 100mW( FRST to pay (sending Monday- gets free extra goodie)
7) n2stuff--PL-E 532 silver host prolly the 300mW (cheapest offered IIRC)waiting now on GB price for you!!
8) CDHDC-- thankx Corbin- another repeat offender of haks GBs(still picking)
9) Darkside Ti-B 532 100mW if offered
10) Chiefpackabowl=1W 445 Pro-Pl-d or Pl-E {there is no Pl-[ }
11) BowTie--ProPL-D 400/532-key switch- Reg $400 GB price IIRC $339-- add 5X BE and all adaptors $60 more- --<<< wise choice on both--
12) Kartracer00- wants a BE w/ adaptors- 3x or 5x
13) proffessor-(somewhere in USA) Ti-B 532/100mW
:thanks::beer:

Note to all-- if this list fills quick with enough Ti-Bs I may try to get them sooner than the remainerd of the GB items- ATM I do not have pricelist for ProPl-D or PL-E but the Ti-Bs WILL be the same price as they were in GB #7 plus miminum shipping- no free batt- glasses or chargers. AFAIK they use a single 14500 3.7 battery.
China is closed until around Oct 8th.
It would be real nice if we let the China workers enjoy this holiday ( ie do not contact til its over)

BTW w/o a LPM one cannot tell the dif between 100 & 150mW-- the ti-b 532 100mW will be $160 plus the two shippings which being very small will not be much. )~$6 per laser)
update shipping cost an equal share will be $6 per laser= the second re-shipping will depend upon the choice of method by each buyer.

AFAIK the site is in error showing 636 and 405 Ti-Bs.

And even the 532s will have to be made --none really in stock ATM.

Ten will be ready before the end of Oct or sooner.

UPDATE 10 are done more are being worked on- max of 20 ..


My Spartan 532 100mWs both cost 200$ and the beam specs are very close- plus a TI-host-- feel free to purchase a Titanium laser from one of the other makers--lol

When we get enough(10) Ti-B 532/100 buyers we will do that deal seperate from the Xmas GB.. so get ready- I except cash in hand( no shipping & a free beer)) personal checks- USPS MOs but I ONLY take PP to cover the shipping- all the Ti-Bs will be sent to me in one box- I will asign them to each buyer THEN meter and inspect- unles you change your mind THEN you send me the shipping (as personal payment fr services {shipping}no fee) CONUS and Canada only- all others contact JL after the Holiday.



*************************************************************
less than ten Ti-Bs left ( UNSPOKEN FOR):tsk: :whistle: when there are all spoken for thats it. Also IIRC JL is out or nearly out of the 10X BEs.< CORRECTION THEY ARE ALL GONE--

The Ti-B comes with the laser- no batt/charger or glasses--sorry.



:scared::lasergun::drool:
....................................^^^^ Pl=E 532 700mW-
:D:thanks:

*************************************


I am going to Lighthound Houston in the next few days and will drop in and find the current prices on 14500 rechargeables- I need to know BEFORE payment for your Ti-B if you want to buy any to be sent with your Ti-Bs
It is looking like we will have to settle for the532/ 100mW version at $159.99
Shipping to CONUS should be around $7 0r $8 and our shared cost for the DHL Express is looking like around $6 per laser.

DHL is pricey because DHL is crazy fast and it is extrenmely rare that our box gets opened. REMEMBER NO Batts!!!!

Gray tells me that there may be as many as 20(=/-) Ti-Bs left and I am waiting now on an estimate of the turnaround time on these-(right now they are only hosts) We may be closeing this Ti-B group Purchase on Oct 25 if ten or more buyers are ready to send their USPS MO. I will be paying JL via bank transfer like always- no paypal.
On the subject of hosts--if you are not a 'builder' with experience these are not for you unless you plan to send your host to the likes of JayRob/Moh/or Flaminpyro Jeff- et al
IF any are sold they will be ONLY the shell=NO internal parts or any support = you will be on your own- These aill NOT be anything like JAD 'Kits'.. no heatsinks,switches,drivers, lenses lens nuts, pills, etc- just the outer shell==
IDK the price of these and prolly will not know until after GB #8 is done- you will be able to get a532/ 100mW Ti-B in the GB ONLY if there are any left-


All updates will be placed in this OP.
But I will add a post as a reminder of an update.:thanks:

Re: Jetlaser group buy feeler

Hey Len I have been talking to Gray about the GB and he told me the new PL-E ver. is 3.0? Put me in for a 532nm. I am looking for just a 100mw if that power is in this GB.

What powers are going to be available? I still want to see the new colors. But the sliver is my favorite.

Re: Jetlaser group buy feeler

Originally I was told a Silver Grey and black-- We only had two PL-E buyers ATM and both wanted the silver- but now I am told they do have some in stock that are classic black and a new color which Gray called army green- I am thinking maybe a sort of camo=??IDKFS= Gray will share some pics with us very soon.

He told me dark or military green. Gray seems very nice guy to deal with. So I guess we will wait and see what the color is. All I know is the host is badass:bowdown: I just want a very clean green dot. I have seen too many dots with lots of spalsh and artifacts.

Re: Jetlaser group buy feeler

Well we can hope but almost every high power 532 I have ever seen has splash and artifacts. And they eat batts and get hot- comes with all that power= lower powers also seem to have less failures= I like my JL 500mW PL-C 532- it peaks around 700mW and is clean- the two PL-E 532 /700s I handled had splash.. but a BE will clean them up a lot as well as give a much better divergence-- the 5X is a good choice while they last.

That's why I want a 100-200mw. Hopeing for long life and clean dot.

Re: Jetlaser group buy feeler

^^^ smart-IMHO the Pl-D pro will prolly have a much better spot than the PL-E because of the way they focus- totally different- the PL-E has (maybe the first ever) internal focus mechanism- I will take mine apart & post some pics-- The ProPl-D ( now with very simple codeswitch--n/ps) has traditional focus- tighten and less room inside the cavities for laser light to 'bounce around' (< pardon my scienticiful jargon)

Also the Pl-D has removable threaded crown for attaching the JL BE via a double threaded adaptor---perfect fit
no halos
makesfor much improved divergence & on the Pl-Es the BEs also cleans up the splash alot-
supply of BEs is running low especially of 10X-

My second JL was a 250 532 Pl-C that made a steady 325mW and has many hours with no probs. still a fav.

Looking like the Ti-Bs will have to be finished with 100mW dpps using a single 14440(?) all JLs go neg. to the tailcap and are IR filtered and are shock and water resistant.

Not sure if we can get any 150s made-+
JL is waiting for some Ti-B blank hosts to be returned so they can finish them ASAP.
AND it looks like they 'found' a few more so around 10 are not spoken for ATM<:)

Re: Jetlaser group buy feeler

But PL-E host is bigger (takes a 26650 battery) and has leds for added bling:yh: Do you have the discount code for Yourlaser so I can get a reke 500 cheap?

Thanks Len for all your help.

Re: Jetlaser group buy feeler

JL GB again! Awesome!

But I already ordered a custom PL-E.


I think JL have a 1W+ 532nm laser in PL-E host (Peak 1100mw+). But I don't think it is for sale...

Re: Jetlaser group buy feeler

TiB 150mW.... might be two, will check with a friend of mine who really wanted one too.

EDIT: - LOL - Len you're the man - I just noticed I was first on the list LOL!! :bowdown:

Double Edit: I'm definitely down for two TiB's myself, both 150mW models please. Money is tight, but unless this GB happens tonight, I'm good :D

Also please put http://laserpointerforums.com/members/darkside/ on the list for one JL TiB 150mW model.
