Re: Sweet deal on Aspire CF Mod! Got me interested again. My black one goes well with my car. :yh: Sorry for the blurry picture, I'll have to read up on how to keep the button always lit up so I can take a better picture. Just bought a red one. He's got one left.

That's a really good point. I took some new measurements focusing the IR thermometer's laser sight on the insulated tabs for the new diodes and the insulation material for the insulation kit. Differences between the two approaches became less pronounced.

Re: The thread of all sci-fi drama threads When I escalated a claim, PayPal didn't ask about the item, I didn't offer additional details beyond what was written in the original invoice or my description if I paid without an invoice. I got all my money back. Maybe a don't ask don't tell kind...

The capacity specified in mAH is generally used to estimate runtime. Using two 16340 in series means runtime is still based on 650mAH but driving something @ 7.4V as opposed to using one 18650 rated at 3000mAH driving something else @ 3.7V . That is, the 18650 will 'run' roughly 4.5x longer...

Re: Sweet deal on Aspire CF Mod! I made one with the Aspire and DTR's 22mm modules. I really like that lock feature which essentially functions as a clicky ON/OFF tailcap switch. I prefer having ON/OFF control for hosts with momentary switches - safer that way. Note that the Aspire has...

Thanks! I built a custom call blocker and this is now in the blacklist. If they call me they'll hear a recording that says my line has been disconnected. :evil:

Sometimes switches just don't work. I ordered a bunch of 12mm LED switches like the one you pictured recently to use in some Eghemus hosts I have. About half weren't what was advertised or the LED just didn't work. These were all new switches. I noticed that almost all of the sellers (eBay)...

Welcome ApexsilverEVO!

DTR's website in the diode section is chock-full of pictures where he measures the voltage and current into a LD and the optical power out. So while a little tedious, you can calculate the efficiencies of a lot of diodes. Perhaps someone here has already generated a table or even knows a...

As people have already said, the 16340 is thinner (16mm diameter) than the 18650 (18mm diameter). So if your host can accommodate the width of 18650, then you'll have some 'slop' using a 16340. Here's a thread that goes through various options to make the 16340 snug so it doesn't rattle around.

Re: Sci-Fi Lasers is a total joke!!!! Great. I was going to pile on by giving you some +rep but I see that I already have. Got to 'spread it around some more' before I can do it again :undecided: ... I really have to take lessons from Alaskan. He manages to be able to rep people all the time.

Re: Sci-Fi Lasers is a total joke!!!! I've been using eBay and PayPal since they started up (got my eBay account in 1998 and whenever PayPal was created). Out of a couple thousand transactions, I ran into trouble maybe a dozen times and out of those dozen, either eBay or PayPal got all my...

I posted this diagram of a host with two switches, one 'clicky' in the back that switches the batteries ON and OFF, and the other a momentary switch which connects the batteries to the Laser Diode Driver. It shows the wiring to the back of a switch that looks like yours. This might help you...

Re: Sci-Fi Lasers is a total joke!!!! FWIW - I just settled 3 PayPal claims. I filed (first disputed then escalated) as not having received the item. The seller provided PayPal a tracking number for one of them. PayPal then asked me again if I had received it. I replied 'no' and PayPal...

Hopefully not too old (i.e. necro) and not a repost ... :whistle:

Re: Just bought three lasers from Sci-Fi Those are nice. I may get one myself.

Re: Just bought three lasers from Sci-Fi I made that Aspire and bought it locally for about $45. Here's the post which has links to other vape mods too. Note that the Aspire only works with one battery so you'll need to make sure the diode module you get from DTR's website runs on just one...

I thought you were talking about a tailcap switch which are usually on-off (SPDT/SPST). That picture and your description sounds like it's a momentary switch. It looks fairly small. Can you take a picture with a ruler next to it or provide the dimensions? Also, the current handling...

I waited for the temperatures to stabilize for 5+ seconds. That took 15-20 seconds for the higher readings. I did notice the voltage across all the diodes dropped up to 0.5V for the higher temps.
