Seems like he'd be an asset to the forum, get him on board.

Sounds like people need to get a little better at reading the rules before hand ha? LOL
I also agree on an unbanning.
In post #2 he was called a dumbass (this is what was originally posted "That doesn't work. This guy is a bit of a dumbass" ) ARGlaser went back and edited it but as you can see in post #4 where it was quoted, dumbass was the term he used originally. Then in post #7 ARGlaser goes on to say and I quote "This guy is nothing but lies ". So in the first 7 posts for this thread he was called a dumbass and a liar. I could quote more examples but you get the point I'm making. If that’s not being a bully than please explain to me what is. I fully support everyone’s right to their opinion and to be skeptical, however some of you might want to put a little more thought into your words before you start typing them.
Perhaps in this case I was too quick to jump to conclusions. Most of what I said though was based on the fact that someone said he ran his diodes at 3.5A, he said that isn't true and he runs them at 2.5A, which is more realistic. Technology improves fast, but the probability of getting a harvestable 445nm diode in 2013 that can be run at 3.5A is near 0%. Many sellers from China and the USA come here claiming to sell "10,000MW BLUE LASER" and 99% of them don't turn out to be true. It makes people (especially me, since this is almost a daily event on LPF) extremely sceptical when someone claims to have a laser that's more powerful than the tech that's available to us.
...he still includes those "4000mAh" 18650's with his laser though, but there's no higher capacity 18650 available than the Panasonic 3400mAh ones. That part is still raises red flags.
...and this part raises red flags too
0mw no power this is a kit you have to put it all together
...and this
ou are legally responsible for any injury to anybody resulting from the use of or assembly of these components or their finished products. You Accept this diode/module as a COMPONENT for integration in a system of YOUR OWN design and will be legally responsible from any and all LIABILITIES These Diodes and Modules are sold solely as a component for incorporation into the customer's end products. Therefore, this diode/module is exempt from compliance with the appropriate requirements of FDA 21CFR, section 1040.10 and 1040.11 for complete products.
I think that we've established that selling the lasers like that to circumvent FDA law doesn't work.
...and the fact that if these are 3W-3.5W lasers he should be including better eyewear than those cheap goggles on ebay. Pretty much all of the cheap goggles I've tested don't have a high enough OD to properly protect you from a 3.5W laser. If those ones do have a high enough OD then that's fine by me, but it's doubtful.
This is where my skepticism came from;
I talked to this guy and he claimed to throttle 9mm diodes at 3.5A... He then claimed that the out put would exceed 4.5 Watts. I don't know what to think. Seems a bit off putting to me.
That we are defensive, and ask for proof verifiable proof is also a good thing IMO. I mean how often do we have someone show up, make a claim/bold statement without offering any proof, of being willing to provide it, and with time find out that the person in question is full of crap.
On the flip side the honest guys, like Clif for example, end up being known as just that... honest upstanding guys.
Yup, I made my assumptions based on what Jolly said as well. I guess what they say about assumptions it true, it sure made an ass out of me.I do find it quite accurate. This entire thread was made off assumptions and not one person contacted him for details. Everyone was quick to call him a liar, but nobody stopped to ask if he was lying.
The LPF community bullies people they don't know, I'm guilty of it as well.
My apologies to Rick, I was too quick to assume.

I tested 72 M-140 casio diodes out of the 72 most were 1.3W some 1.5W and 1 or 2 hit 1.6W set at 1800ma. on my LPM with the G1 or G2 len 1.7W to 1.9W was the max that I was getting so I stop buying the M-140 and I have been hold my LPM was testing low from some people! that they were getting 1.6W to 1.8W and over 2w with the G1 or G2 lens, Is this not odd if my LPM was test to high!!!!
