Hmm, interesting, I was trying to think of that as well. I can't really think in equations as I'm not a physics major. But I can think in theory. Perhaps being much less dense, there is a lot more space between particles, therefore the particles "have more surrounding air" to cool down them...

It's all good man, I understand pet peeves, I've got quite a few myself :p But I do think that's really good explanation to the phenomenon of Al cooling faster, and I'll actually be surprised if you're wrong about that. I'm starting to lean on your theory but only thing stopping me is that I...

Gee, I even tried my best to edit the post like crazy to ensure I don't sound "arrogant". Strangely, it is also your post that sounds arrogant to me, as if you're saying you're smarter than me when you say, "I know what I am talking about here. I do physics." Like I'm some idiot who knows...

Actually, I beg to differ. No doubt that copper does conducts heat better as well as absorb more heat. But Aluminum definitely dissipates heat faster. I can actually feel it in my hands, aluminum builds cooling down faster than copper. I made this conclusion with a few others after reading and...

Thanks hak! :) @EMF, I still use a testload because I want to get the exact current the driver is driving the diode. Ie. I bought these drivers rated at 1.75A but they tested 1.72A on my testload. Also, I get to choose how much voltage the load will pull, using the diode settings on the...

Haha thanks yob I wouldn't mind doing this but I see that you guys are both in the same state, I think it's better if OP goes to you ;) Customs wouldn't be a problem, but it'll save OP some time and cost :)

Under $200, your best bet is the 6870. The 560Ti will run slightly better but it is over $200. And if you're willing to spend over $200, around $220 will land you a nice 6950. Get the 2GB version, those can be unlocked to become the 6970. Do some Google searches, there's tutorials on how to do...

heh, :thanks: You have one of those...? The cree driver I'm guessing. lol DX trolls me hardcore.. I paid for two 5-packs and received two in quantity instead >.< And yes, this setup runs off a single 18650 battery. Its cheaper than two 16340s and has over twice the capacity which is why I...

I thought the NCR18650a's had low IR, isn't that what it's advertised for? :confused:

Re: 1x18650 Heavy-Duty C6 - The JAD V2 Kit Sinner's right. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised, because the entire pill is aluminum, and aluminum is a very light metal. The whole pill by itself weighs only 3.3g. The drivers are 0.6g each. So the copper tab accounts for 50% of the total weight...

Are there really "levels" for technicians? So you can literally gain xp and level up? lol that's hilarious :D Oh and welcome :)

Re: 1x18650 Heavy-Duty C6 - The JAD V2 Kit Thanks foulmist & sinner :) And um... doh! I think I posted this in the wrong section, I totally missed the "445nm Section" when I first saw "Blue... section".. Could a mod move this to the "445nm Section" please? It'll be more appropriate there :)

Good day ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, comrades, friends... I was thinking the other day, that someone needs to fill in the vacuum of Moh's departure. So I thought of a JAD kit idea, with a little twist ;) I just finished the build I came up with and am actually excited to show...

hahahaha Yob! You really took it away with this advertising "product placement". I love this.

I just read this. Damn, I lost track of this thread for some time and only started reading it again today as I was clear-reading out my subscriptions. I'm so sorry for your troubles but I feel you, PP closed one of my accounts before too same situation (sort of). I had a raffle for an iphone...

USPS must make almost no money from First Class service seriously, Intl shipping for only $3.79? That's crazy cheap. That is probably why they try to, indirectly, point consumers towards their priority options. In comparison, Canada Post's cheapest Intl shipping option which is like Small...

Sinner and his 666th post!! ... coincidentally lands on a thread about cheating! :evil: How fitting :)

Something I wonder is if it's even physically possible for a external spring to work with the G-lenses. I'm looking at the space between the metal knob & heatsink when the G-lens is focused to infinity, and honestly, it's almost flush, probably 1.0-1.5mm space there. Can a spring even compress...

I hear ya, no problem!

And with your awesome lazeerer-style fog, your beam shots are always sexy, no lie. And because of you, we don't have to get expensive fog machines to fully appreciate our ladies ;) And I'm almost certain the water balloon will pop. It fries aiptasia behind an aquarium (with losses on the...
