I don't have the time to do a good looking thread right now with decent photos, but I wanted to get this info out there. This mod achieves a perfectly thin beam (similar to what you might expect from a lower powered pointer)
This is so stupid, it's semi-hilarious
You need: Aixiz focus knob, Aixiz acrylic lens
Steps:
That's it. Oh, and if you want to put the Firedragon hood back on, you'll need to remove the lense that is built into it.
So how much power do you sacrifice? In my experience, negative 45mW. I'm actually seeing more output with this mod (potentially because the lens is closer to aperture and thus wasting less), and a beautiful thin beam.
As mentioned, this is stupidly humerous. Someone else try it - confirm that I'm not crazy.

Steps:
- Remove your Firedragon's hood.
- Tape/attach the focus knob upside down (thread facing away from the laser) on top of the Firedragon's aperture.
- Screw (roughly one rotation) the Aixiz acrylic lens into the focus knob, screwdriver groove facing down (towards the aperture).
- Adjust focus by screwing/unscrewing the acrylic lens from the focus knob. Adjust to infinity.
