WOW! I wasn't expecting all these great reply's. One of the reasons why I created this feedback thread was due to the fact that when I performed a search of this sub-forum to see if there was some other feedback for Grainde, I was unable to locate another posting? that I could add my comments to. So I felt moved to immediately remedy that situation!
@BTG, all I have is an iPhone, to snap pics with. Don't think I can do this piece justice but I'll see what I can do.
@Encap, functional art- yep that's what kinda drew me to this mirror polished Envy. There seems to be a tendency for folks to qualify highly textured machined hosts as looking like an 'alien' laser. But to me if aliens carried lasers, they would probably resemble the sleek extruded bar stock look of this Envy.:tinfoil: Or some other seamless smooth extruded shape.
@BobMc, I'm working on throwing up some pics. But at present I don't have the proper batteries for this Envy. Grainde, recommended AW's 16340s and I am placing an order for those. I also wanted to wait until this piece successfully jumped through all the hoops to get here before I ordered the batteries. As I was waiting for this last piece to arrive and was planning on doing a group shot. At present I have This Envy, the D/L 589 Spartan and the 1W 405nm Sanwu, Light Saber Spiker +3x BE, that I received from Atlas87. I also have (all black finishes) a 800mw 532nm PL-E Pro - a 1w 520nm PL-E Pro -a 500mw 405nm PL-E Pro - w/a 10x J/L BE, and a W/L Evo, with everything- even that firmware cable dongle.
@Hap, oh you've just breathed some life into an idea that has also crossed my mind. As I have my eye on some CNI modules and was wondering if some agreeable fellow abroad might be willing to help a brother out. Grainde, does seem to have a few Sinner, hosts still available Hhmmm.
@Grainde, you are most welcome, it was my pleasure. :wave:
@Radim, just like my photo op skills are iPhone limited, my review would probably be along the lines of 'Holy Crap! this thing is awesome!'
@CurtisOliver, I absolutely agree that your countryman here does outstanding work!
@Alaskan, hey man Grainde's got another one just like this still available. It is a nice piece of alloy.

@Lasersbee, oh yeah on all counts. I've got OD5+ Eagle pairs for all WV's and once I started actually getting my mitts on some of these hi-power units, I quickly observed the serious biz nature of these beasts. I always wear EP, indoors and when outdoors do a quick scan of the area wearing EP until the intended surroundings have been swept.:beer:
@paul1598419, yeah I no longer have access to any test equipment. And I don't know if I want to get back into that and accumulate more stuff. I could probably make due with a nice quality multimeter & iron, for whenever the needs arise and I have a couple of LPF, members nearby with tons of that stuff on hand already if I need expanded access. And Grainde, is the man for the Sinner, supply from what I've gathered. This is a very nice bespoke piece that he sent, it has the attention to detail and nuances that deems such a term.
Thanks again guys, and a very special thanks once again to Grainde. :thanks:
