As many of you know... Flaminpyro's reputation was put to question by a stupid moron. I'm here to trample that even further into the mud with this short review of my Tank007 I recently received.
I have been on the waiting list for months and I finally got it.
First impressions: Wow the host is much smaller than I thought and much heavier. :beer:
Putting in one of the batteries I had gotten from taking apart my laptop battery it started right up with no problems.
Now I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else but the A140 diode was far more bluish in color than the old a130 diode I have. I wish I had a camera to show you guys some pics... I'll get around to borrowing my bro in laws.
The laser is amazing... both in quality and durability. I even dropped it outside. (Always use the strap when going outside)
It came in a nice box with all of its parts such as the stand and it felt like I had bought it from an actual store. You would never know the difference.
The whole laser assembly is clean. Driver hardly gets hot and Jeff had told me it was doing just over 1000mws.
This is my first copper heat sink and man what a difference! I can feel the heat almost immediately dissipating from the host.
Now about Customer Service.
Flaminpyro (Jeff) has answered every PITA message I set him. He never lost his cool. And even though he has been swamped with making sure each order is perfect he gave me a 50% discount off of a focus ring (copper) just for waiting! :beer:
Excellent deal and excellent workmanship.
Pictures soon to follow.
