Re: Key Chain Blu-ray... With FlexDrive!

I emailed to him a couple days ago; he said it'll be about 2 weeks until he has more.
This is actually not bad news, this is
great news!
Because AW doesn't make more batteries UNLESS there is a demand! Last time i was talking to him, he said that these sizes, once out of stock, will not be made anymore! Now THAT would REALLY be a shame!
I've been working on a similar build a while ago, but only ever made a 5mW cat chaser, for a friend out of it. The coin cells, which fit in here normally, couldn't really support a
load. I also bought 10220's from AW half a year ago, but they were still too...
But if AW will have more in two weeks, that would be awesome!
Jay: I think it's your tutorial, that made these suddenly go out of stock everywhere..
But i think it's also your tutorial, that made AW reconsider making more of them.. *;D
Anyway, this is the one i've been working on several months ago, but put it on hold after the 5mW version..
You may know how obsessed i am with tiny lasers - they are the reason i started working on boost drivers over a year ago (there was no FlexDrive back then).. When Jay reminded me there are smaller batteries than 10220, i became very excited - i could finally finish an old idea! But when i saw they were out of stock.... *:'(
But waiting two weeks for them to become available, and another two for them to be delivered... That's nothing! I waited this long already!
P.S. Damn you, Jay, you just caused me soon to have SEVERAL 6x less..
(thank you Jay... holly crap, i have FOUR of these!)
P.P.S. The really amazing thing about these tiny hosts is their MASS! If i put this tiny thing on a scale, i get 36g! The head alone weighs 11g!
My AA host weighs less! Of course, it is aluminum, but still. These tiny things can actually provide a decent amount of heatsinking!
