I've got another new kit...

This host is slim and very nice, but uses an 18650 supply for a huge capacity!

It is also a very easy build! It is designed for using a FlexDrive mounted flat on the top of the pill with double sided tape...

The host has a nice smooth barrel at the head for your warning label too!

Also:

If you wanted to build three lasers in the same host (red, blu-ray, green), this one will work for you! I can set it up with a heatsink for the green module, drill the pill and put a set screw for a contact point, and make a custom front piece just like I do with my DIY Green kit. (same price - $75)





This first post is also a tutorial for the blu-ray/red assembly. Here are the pictures...





You could fit a FlexDrive inside the pill, but then you would have to set the current ahead of time. Or drill out the top of the pill like I do with my Pocket Mini kit. No need with this kit. There is room for the driver on top of the pill...


Here's the host: DealExtreme: $16.41 Aurora C6 Cree P4 LED Flashlight (1*18650/2*CR123A)






A knurled EzFocus Adapter is also available for this 18650 kit!: ($24)








This host could also fit a full length AixiZ module for a rkcstr/red build using 2 X RCR123 batteries if the top of the pill is drilled out. (like with my Pocket Mini kit)

There would be about 1/8" of room between the end of the full length AixiZ module, and the round circuit board at the bottom of the pill.

And you could just make a plastic sleeve from a Pepsi bottle to use in the barrel to keep the batteries from rattling...




* 18650 basic kit - $41 plus shipping. This is includes the host and the heatsink. (you will need a 1.5mm Allen wrench for the set screw)

Then you can add these options if desired:

* 'Hot' option - $48 This option includes a FlexDrive pre-mounted with current set as desired, and lead wires soldered on.
* EzFocus adapter - $24
* AixiZ module - $5
* 405-G-1 glass lens mod - $55 31% increase for blu-ray vs AixiZ acrylic! (new) See link in signature!
* 650-G-1 glass lens mod for red! (fit for AixiZ) - $52 25% increase for red vs AixiZ acrylic! (new) Shown here: http://laserpointerforums.com/f64/fs...ase-46332.html
* Shipping - $6

Thanks for looking!

Looks good!

You gonna keep these stocked for a while?

Jay, this is too much

I may have to get one of these, got a ton of PHR's that need homes.

Hmm - This is new. I like the size more than the other pocket mini. Hmm - I think ill get both.

haha - pay day!

Gata, tommii89, Good deal! Just let me know...





Glutton, I have three for now, and if I think they will be a hit, then I'll order some up!

These look like they will be good for 8x 405nm. I'll go for one, possibly two, later on.

Sounds like I may be ordering a few more of these hosts!

Hey you may want a Pocket 'Mini me' as well... (couldn't help that)

Awsome man! now we can run our 8x's like there no tommarow!!!

I'll buy one soon.

Tyler - Dark Lasers

Just let me know!

You have tried just about every other kit I have, why not this one!

Glutton, I sent your 18650 host/heatsink combo kit (and other items) today. (Wednesday)

Let me know how you like it!

Hey,

I got it a few days ago but I just go to chance to work with it!

Very nice kit Jay! the massive heatsink will provide very nice heat dissipation.
This will either be a GGW or LPC untill the 12x comes out...
I'm headed to the post office to get my diodes for the 3 builds you helped me with, I will let you know how it goes.

Also, good job with my other items, they fit nicely

Good to hear man... Thanks for posting back!

Jay,

Would this heatsink/host work for the modules that Daguin is selling?
FS: Modules, Modules, and More

Also, are you still selling the Kryton groove kit? Or maybe would that work with these modules as well is the more appropriate question. It is in a recent post that links to here:
FS: Kryton Groovy Green Kit! While they last...

Any help would be appreciated. I have a few modules on the way and I am trying to feel out my options.

Thanks

Everyone of Jays awesome Kits Can be used with Daguin modules

This 18650 host will not fit a full length AixiZ module. It is designed for a single battery supply (18560), and thus needs a FlexDrive...

For the nice modules that Dave has, you can use my 3405 host/heatsink combo shown here:
http://laserpointerforums.com/f39/fs...5-a-22512.html

Then you would use 3 X 10440 rechargeable batteries as your supply. That host will fit a full length AixiZ module with either version heatsink shown in the pictures...

About the Kryton green mod. If you can find a Kryton barrel, or if you get in on the new GB that Kenom will have, I can still modify the Kryton barrels for a green module with a heatsink as shown in that thread...

pyrotech, I am sending your 18650 host/heatsink combo today. (Friday)

Please post back and let me know what you think of this new host!

This looks tasty! PM sent.

I sent your 18650 kit with 'Hot' option set at 350mA's today, with your Meredith Glass lens fit for Sure module today. (Tuesday)

Please post back here when you check out this new host!

Thanks!

I just received it today, I'll build it tomorrow and be back with pictures.

Ordering & Shipping:
Just sent him a PM, then a Paypal, and if it weren't for Columbus Day I would have had it in my hands in 2 days. Jay is the fastest guy in this hobby (it may help that I'm only one state away). Communication was great both before and after the sale.
Assembly:
The instructions were both complete and accurate. The host was a great choice, it had a lot of room to work in.
Performance:
I chose a GGW (6x) diode driven at 186ma. It will pop a balloon from 10 feet away, I guess that's adequate...

You can tell I'm a real JayRob kit fan. I think you can't go wrong with this kit.

Thanks for posting back with the props!

You guys can see from the pictures that this is a sweet host. I'm sure it will become very popular once the word gets out!

Hey another feather in the oh so worthy jayrob's hat! I got to talk to cold, I keep trying to give rep where rep is due, and those few so totally worthy like jayrob, I always get that damned message and can't rep atm! What, I can't be trusted with rep w/o limits cold? LOL! Everyone Jay deserves a lot more rep! You guys rep him while I can't! And also thanks for the great and upgradable donations to the raffle! -Glenn

Jayrob

This cant use 2 Cr123's with a rkcstr ?

2cr123's are about the same size as one 18650..

Your too good to me Glenn!


Slipstream, yes, if you were to drill out the top of the 'pill', where the emitter is mounted, then you would make more room inside the host, and would be able to fit a rkcstr driver.

And then use 2 X RCR123 rechargeable for a red build. You could just use some plastic from a Pepsi bottle (rolled), to make a sleeve so your batteries would not 'rattle'...

How much for just the heatsink?
