hakzaw1 said:

yes if you get free shipping it will come to me- afaik gray will cover your cost for shipping from me to you as well. but you will still owe me one dollar for gas!!!lplease email me with ih the title--BOOSTED ADDY so I will know where to send it- and the metering photo- if its not up to spec better I find that out before you.

do you still have the extras that came with your first one?

I never get or want batteries sent with the lasers from China-bad idea.

I do sell 18650s and chargers.

The MOs are coming in -- next GB for JETL is only a maybe ATM...

I do hope we can have another when JetL makes some 638s with the new diodes!!

PM me if there are any more questions. Looking like a mostly TiTanium buy this time.

I can say with all confidense that the JETL Tis are the best money can buy..............

easy to say--- afaik nobody else offers any!!!!!!!!

Ti-B 638nm/500mW... thats what I want to see----maybe soon.


Thats one SCHWEET host.

Hello all,
The big China Oct. Holiday is going on so I dont expect our lasers to ship til Oct 8th soonest.
DHL Express China to me is $100 we split that evenly at $12.50 per unit. This amt and the me to you cost needs to be sent asap after The box arrives, I inspect and meter each unit- send you the pics for your final approval. With insurance-trackable & signed delivery each box runs ~21$ plus the $12.50.
please be ready to PP that as Personal/pymt owed, to me.
PM me for the PP addy and please include you user name and the word ADDY in your title.
I will need your confirmed by PP home addy for shipping unless other arrangements have been made.
Contact me if you have any questions.

Ok, I think I speak for everyone when I say this... PICS NOW:na:

Need something to tide me over until my TiB gets to the US

Its not even unwrapped yet. I'll get a couple pics up before the end of the night.

Ok, no time to take decent pics tonight, I promise I'll do it tomorrow. BUT, here is a consolation prize:

sweeettt
did you play with it at night yet?

Did you get the feel for entering the code?-

I was not getting the timing right the first day using the Superswitch. I would get it after lot of tries but could not really tell what I was doing different when I did get it right.

I let a lot of the guys at SELEM-most got the hang of it one had no problem at all. The ones that didnt like it were just giving up a little too soon. After you enter the last three 'blinks' you need to wait for it to blink once,& then it comes on and stays on-if it just blinks a scond time and goes out you must start over but turning off the laser at the tailpin orange button is not needed.


I like that you can put it on standby with the big button held down for 5 or so seconds- the laser goes out but the tiny LEDS stay lit and the laser comes back on with one touch. Gray tells me that the battery draw from the LEDS is very small and he felt it would OK to leave it on standby for hour or more. Guess I could time that somehow with time lapse and a digital clock.

Also-maybe some of you can answer this--- if it is on pulse would that make the duty/rest cycle extended of even be able to run these on pulse with continous duty?? iirc I saw Gray post something like 4Hz-

I lens cap to keep dust out of the lens would be nice I am making one with a glass diff. grating window. --dual purpose.
BTW it may have taken longer to get to you as the whole country shuts down Oct 1 to 8th,
I like that graph--

Yeah its pretty wild, the beam is almost solid looking. Its the brightest thing I've seen yet, beats my 2w 445.

Oh the smartswitch. Ugh. I just wanna turn my laser on. :undecided:
It took me quite a few tries to get it to work the first time, and even now I'm still not good at it. Its great not having a key, but the switch is a PITA. The power level selection is nice I guess, but the pulse mode baffles me. Its pretty slow, and the only use I can see for it is to induce seizures.
I will say, the beam size and dot size is crazy tight. My PL-C wasn't even close to this small/tight. Its alot like my 12x Blu Ray. Even a few feet away on the door the dot is super small. So it seems to burn pretty well for just 500mW.

I'm sure I'll get used to the switch, but for now its frustrating. I felt this way about the Arctic at first but I got over it.

Yep, the switch is a real PITA at first, in fact, Gray tells me that his techs are working on a simpllified version that may be used in the next run. ( but I dont trhink they can afforf to re-do any existing with the one/one/three version. Trust me it Does get easier. Last night I was able to enter it successfully eight times in a row. And I do like the fact that not just anybody can pick mine up and turn it on TOO easlily.

And if you plan to use it again within a short time you can just leave it unlocked.

I have a PL -C & D based Lumia box and I only run each laser or about 2 or 3 minutes at a time. Swapping out lasers while they are in the rest cycle.

BTW the PL-D will not get turned on by accident which has happened to me seveal times with some of my Pl-Cs...... once it was my fav 532/250 and it was in my computer bag when the switch got 'bumped' on. I DID have the tailcap defeat pin removed , but it turned out that this particular cap either was altered for no pin needed at JETL or it was faulty. One guy saw the green glow coming thru the side of my bag and told me that I had a laser on in my bag--which, if he had not noticed could have been real bad for my fav 532 laser. That, AFAIK, cannot happen w/ a PL-D. I will be testing the tailcaps on all that come thru me from now on.

I dont rmemeber who but one LPFer at SELEM got the switch very fast and was able to do it many times w/o any problems. (icecruncher maybe?) Daguin had a bit of trouble and sorta gave up but then tried again later and was much better at it. Those with less reason for keeping thier lasers from being used by 'unauthorerized' people will not like it, as they, for the most part don't need it.
I don't really need mine to be that safe but, still, it is a non-issue for me now that I have it down.

Something else kinda odd. When you hit the power button on the back, the laser blips. Super quick, dim blip.

Also, that meter run was done with a half charged Tenergy 2600mah protected cell. I'm out of Sanyo cells, I gave them all away with lasers I've sold. I need to get a couple more and meter it again.

Ok, I'm getting some photos together to do a review, here is a quick preview.

So the beam is nice and tight! Great news!
The host looks yummy!

I (and friends) am getting excited!

My pl-d 250 does the same when you turn it on with the back orange button, a 1mW green light pulses once .

Also
My pl-d 250 has shifted to some crazy tem mode like tem01 or 11 at startup

Ok, here is my review!
