Okay everybody this is my first review. Third laser that wasn't a 1mW red from walmart. I first bought a rayfoss 100mW 532nm. Then saw 1W 445 and went GIVE IT TO ME. SO I bought yobresal's 1W 445. And now my third laser ever is a Cree XPE 6x with 405-g-1 lens outputting 224mW from Jeff(flaminpyro).
First thoughts.
I open the package after waiting and waiting not so very patiently. I felt that I should've got my chainsaw out to open everything in this package. Everything was VERY secure in lots of colored bubble wrap, with tape around all of it.
It was all perfectly packaged and very secure and safe.
So i finally get everything open and pop in a few batteries. The way I have this set up is so I can use 2xAA Primary cells with the use of the extension tube, or 1 4.2v Lithium rechargeable 14500.
I got this with a copper heatsink(free upgrade from jeff) and everything else. Diode, driver, batts charger, everything, and he assembled it for me.
This host is not very much larger than the AA cells or 14500 that you put inside of it, and about 6 inches long. It is very small compact and portable, even with the extension tube. But for its size it feels HEAVY. And im not talking bad heavy, im talking feels very sturdy and very good in your hand. You can tell this host,heatsink, and complete build are VERY VERY sturdy and very well built. One another awesome thing about this host and I dont know if jeff did this himself or if its just the host, but on the extension tube and the tailcap where you screw it in to the body of the host, they have these red "O" rings that go around the threads. UNlike other lasers i have that feel like you are grinding the metal everytime you screw it together it feels very good and very press fit like.
Like i said this is my first blu-ray and next to my 445 the beam is not as impressive obviously. But the violet in the pitch dark by itself is just sexy. Especailly with some smoke it looks BEAUTIFUL! and this little bad boy can burn very well, right through a cd case( not as fast as 445 once again) but very good burning and focused it is smaller than a friggin needle poiint!
That being said i MUST GET A 12x!
Also the whole experience buying and dealing with jeff was phenomenal. He answered every question very thouroughly and within hours. He was very polite and sent my laser the day after i made payment. His customer service isA+ and i would and will reccomend him to anybody and everybody. He's a great guy with great products and services. Quality high end craftsmanship and attention to every little detail. Amazing.
That being said heres a few pics.
THE HOST
Beam shots. These are in a dark room. The first one is on my kodak easyshare, for some reason I cant hold my hand still to take a pictyure with it so here is the only good one i got on it. The rest are off of my iphone 4.
(No smoke, exposure nothing, just dark room)
Thats it. This is my first review so I hope it was alright. Thanks for looking everybody, and if you want a good quality, wonderful laser, hit up Flaminpyro.

I love how long it is and it almost makes it feel like a pen. Thats my favorite part.
