Lol. I’m up in Ohio.

I really didn't want to spend over $150 on one.

Does anyone know if this is a decent LPM. Looking for something fairly accurate without breaking the bank. https://www.laserpointerstore.com/products/pocket-laser-power-meter/ Is this a reputable site?

Honestly, The cost difference between a local shop and liionwholesale.com is $1. i'd rather spend the $1 extra per cell and just get button top cells. My time is more valuable.

All the 18650 cells for my vapes and available at local vape shops are all flat tops. I know these hosts need button tops to make contact with the terminal board.

That is like beastiality to the extreme.

Since I’m building 2 lasers simultaneously with the same hosts I meant it more as asking if protected cells would fit in the S4X host. I’d hate to buy 6 protected cells and not be able to use them.

I know to get button top cells, but the real question is protected or unprotected cells?

The S4X host already can hold 2 18650 cells without the extension tube. The S4 is the host that needs the extension.

Welcome to LPF. Lots of great information on here.

This is an awesome project. I would totally be interested in purchasing one from you when it’s done.

I’m currently working on two builds and am wondering on how you figure out the duty cycle. The diodes I’m working with are: NUBM4F at 5A NUBM07 at 3.5A Both are going to be in SL S4X hosts with copper heat sinks. Is there a formula for calculation duty cycles or do you just run them until the...

I sent him a PM about a week ago with no response.

Is there anyway to get more amps out of this little guy?

I'm getting a NUBM4F diode for my second build and don't see much information about it on the forum. What amperage should this diode be ran at? Will be powered by 2 18650 cells.
