So, my GGW diode came in yesterday (thanks, Hightechdealz!) and I was thusly able to put together my pocket mini kit that's been sitting around. The kit went together smoothly, taking just under two hours to put together (actually, a lot of that time went towards trying to bridge the resistors on the Flex Drive. I finally just soldered a bit of tinned wire across them.) The current is set at 208 ma, mostly because that's what my driver metered when I tested it, and I couldn't find a drewscriver small enough to turn that damn microscopic pot. (Seriously, can someone point me towards one?) It has the copper heatsink option, and a 405-G-1 lens. Burns like a sonofabitch
Thanks go to jayrob for and excellent kit and outstanding customer service. Also, thanks to the folks at Hightechdealz. My diode came properly pressed into the Aixiz module, and the solder on the pins was proof of a no-heat extraction. The GITD lens cap was a pleasant surprise, too!
Beamshots are with smoke added. The color is violet, of course (can't wait til we get those high-powered blue diodes on the cheap!)

From what iv seen most people run their 6x in the 190-198mA range but i dont know why they do instead of an even 200.
