To clarify, I’m 100% decided on Molicel P28A’s for the 18650’s. Thank you for the tip. For 10440’s, I’ve looked at most of the recommended sites and so far only BatteryJunction has any 10440’s at all. The three options for 10440’s are Trust/UltraFire and one called, “Xtar AAA 1200mWh 1.5V...

Good to know. BatteryJunction has both P28A’s and 10440’s. Would you recommend UltraFire 500mAh unprotected or TrustFire 600mAh protected? I would prefer the extra safety benefits of protected cells where possible, unless there are significant downsides I may be unaware of (like just not fitting...

Thank you! I’ll snag those Molicels. Just confirming that I shouldn’t worry about them being unprotected, and that it doesn’t matter that they aren’t 4.35v like the LG E1’s? Also, I’ll snag a Nitecore i2 charger if it’s not particularly inferior to the pricier XTAR’s. Thanks again!

Hi, I’m getting back into my laser collection while recovering from brain injury. Would someone please guide me on what the best battery for my DL Spartan (CNI PGL-III-M) is? I searched very extensively on here for which 18650 and the best advice I found was LG E1 but it’s not listed at a single...

Thank you!! I’d just received two wonderful Sanwu’s (my first!!) this week: a 492nm 0.1W Pocket and a 488nm 0.15W engraved stainless steel Guardian. :love: Please pardon the delayed response. I understand clearly and will keep this in mind. I deeply appreciate the opportunity!! GENIUS. 🍻

Lame cause I’m a citizen of The United States of Lamerica :cautious: Customs would surely swallow the thing whole, yes?

I’m in the market for another (backup) “50mW Spartan“ (PGL-III-M-50). I was lucky enough to receive what seems to be a good unit (though I’d love to have an expert throughly inspect it) from the last of DL’s. What disappoints me deeply (can include screenshots) is that Adam had answered my...

Thank you, and thank you Encap!!! You made the friggin heck out of my day with that immediate, EXCEPTIONAL advice. I’d already contacted DL, where I’d purchased my first high-powered laser ever—an overspec 532nm 95mW CNI-GLP “Viper” exactly eleven years ago, after turning fourteen. After a...

Seems to be sold (not to me). Gonna set my frustration aside and begin work on the “WTB ≥85mW 589nm portables” post I keep planning to compose. Man, what I’d give to go back to the CNI group buy days for a way-overspec PGL-III-C-80 (I SO SHOULD HAVE PULLED THAT TRIGGER) but hopefully I can get a...

I’LL TAKE IT. PM’d. Excited and shaking o_O

Re: CLOSED: Taking payments ROUND 4!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! Got my package and everything is lovely. Thank you to everyone involved! This is all such a blessing. It's interesting to note how much smaller the HL-532 is, especially because I didn't expect any major changes in host...

Re: CLOSED: Taking payments ROUND 4!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! I'd love for this to work out, and I believe there's a way, but no biggie if not. Payment was sent yesterday. My friend was paying for two of these lasers and I got stuck being di*ked around with, after making the "dec30...

Re: CLOSED: Taking payments ROUND 4!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! Payment will be in tomorrow; PM sent regarding delay. Would you please estimate the added shipping costs of adding another HL to my order? Thank you. Whoever wants to take up the offer I've been sharing throughout this...

Re: OPEN: Taking orders ROUND 4!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy! Is anyone that's buying a 515nm and/or 460nm interested in my offer? I'll give you 12.5% of your laser's cost to have all our lasers sent to a reputable forum member for spectro analysis. I'll pay for the second shipping...

Re: Sinner's Custom Hosts Clearout: MS-V1, MS-V2, V3 and V4 Clearout Put me down for two V4s, please! These are beautiful and stunning; I'm gonna make at least one 635nm. I'd gratefully take all three, if you'd accept $81 for the bunch. Thank you!
