It's been this way for just the last couple weeks, it's been fine for(ever) before that. Off and on. Computer seems to be OK, no updates recently (Win-7/Chrome). Network speed tests check out ok but Frontier just took over for Verizon FIOS (phone/TV/internet) and I have noticed some jitter...

TaterMay has three lasers of mine that I purchased in Nov 2015. I created a thread here. Taylor became severely ill ~Jan/Feb and it took me until now to make contact with his wife, Anne, who finally located them and sent me pictures to prove they still had them. I managed to get some of my...

I bought Survival's 20A Diode Test Load and discovered only Diode-1 (out of 8) was working properly. The other seven Diode's anodes appeared to be shorted to their respective cathodes. So I sent it back for them to test/verify and immediately bought another one thinking I just had a...

An LPF Member, TaterMay, built my first laser last year. Since then I've paid him for more stuff. He now has three builds of mine; two with Eghemus hosts and one Kryton (I sent him the Kryton host) he was going to polish and build. I paid for them November 2015. His responses became...

Well I just fried a 700mW Ocarlo in a beautiful Eghemus host. Silly me, I installed two batteries instead of one. :oops: Whaaaat? Drivers don't auto-detect? Neither do diodes? :wtf: Got a label on the tailcap now. :banghead: I've never been happy with the divergence of the...

Hi, Can someone explain why it is not recommended to hook up 2 or more Lithium Polymer batteries in series (or parallel) when each have protection circuitry, i.e. PCB/PCM, already built in? The explanations I read are that one battery could charge another but why would that be undesirable if...

I have a couple hosts that accommodate 18mm diameter batteries but barely have enough room (depth) for two flat top 18350 batteries. I can only get a couple threads of the tailcap to bite the fit is so tight. One of my hosts is this beautiful build by Eghemus. With two 16340 batteries all...

RB astro's post, The Greek Poldiac - 405nm ~ BluRay Trail Blazer ~, inspired me to try this. Lots of vape hosts are 22mm and come with 510 threads which match up nicely with DTR's 22mm modules as Andrew showed. I tried to buy one of the Poldiac hosts RB astro bought but after waiting 30 days I...

Hi, I just got an Arcane 2.0 635nm. I believe the Focus Adapter has a G-2 lens and I'd like to replace it with a 3-element lens to get a better shaped beam. Unfortunately I cannot get the lens holder (and lens) out of the Focus Adapter. I've already scratched the threads a little bit on the...

I'm noo, as in noob. Still figuring out how to navigate the LPF. Just started an interest in lasers a few weeks ago when I went to buy a green one for my cats (who didn't seem interested in red) when the guy said, you want the 5mW or the 50mW. That's all it took. I now own a ~1.3W 520nm...
