Blue Laser Problems

[Qorx]

For some reason my laser doesn't make a beam, and it only shows the dot, it looks like it's a 0.1mW. Though, it has a 1.8A Mohgasm Driver and a M140 Blue Diode and should be 1.8-2.2Watts. I've double checked the wiring all that kind of stuff. The Batteries I'm using are UltraFire 16340's (2 of them). What can I do to make the laser perform at what it's suppose to? Also, what are the best batteries I can get the most power out of, and can you tell me a charger for them.

Edit: The laser looks long because my wires I have which are soldering to the diode and the driver are really long. So I had an extra C6 Host I didn't use anymore so I added the extra part so it was longer and it fit the wires. I also like the look of it being longer, it looks like a silencer now.

What's the best battery for my laser though, also do you know why my problem is occuring or have any idea?

 

[lazerphase]

um what host are you using? and id guess 2 CR123a

 

[firelaser]

my blue laser did this, but it was because 1 of my batteris was dead, and got new ones and it was fixed, check those

 

[lazerphase]

Okay so its all good now?

 

[Qorx]

No, still the same. I guess I'll buy a charger and batteries. Also, it's a BLACK C6 CREE host. So what are the best batteries for it and I can use it straight a way.

 

[lazerphase]

the CR123a s are good for that host. thats what i use for my C6 cree host.

So that charger you told me to get, is the a good one for these batteries?

 

[lazerphase]

yes, they should work for the CR123a batteries.

I'm using UltraFire 18350's with my lasers. They're similar to 16340's but are fatter, but shouldn't have problems going into your host since it accepts 18650's.

Also, do you have a multimeter that you can check your cells with?

Are you sure your LD isn't damaged?

 

[Qorx]

It shouldn't be damaged because I just put a brand new Mohgasm 1.8A in it.

ryansoh3, based on your sig id recommend checking out this thread

I think photos should help us diagnose the problem.

Edit: lazerphase, that's a great idea. If there's anything you want me to do, let me know!

That charger can't be shipped to Australia, and I've ordered 3 chargers before and all didn't work so I'm scared to buy another charger without knowing it works.
