Host Suggestions...

K, first off, totally cheated and bought a module outright..lol.. Got a 445nm 800mw. Just need some help finding a good host, cause the thing takes 7v, minimum. 7.5v max, which brings me to the question..
Any of you guys know of any torches that could fit two 18650 bats??

If it ain't broke don't fix it?

Anyway, yes there are hosts that use 2 18650s. Or rather, Survival Lasers sell an extension tube for the C6 host.

But you can also use 2x16340s or 2x18350s. They'll give you the voltage you need and take up just about as much space as 1x18650

Boooyahhh! I can't believe I didn't even think to check out other batteries.. :/

And yeah, totally forgot word meanings there.. I blame lack of sleep.

I'm trying to find a good host for my brother ATM

Ended up building my own.. Not the prettiest thing in the world, but I feel like I'm in star wars when I turn it on, so.. Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it. =D

Nothing wrong with a little DIY! Plus now it's got way more "heart"
:gj:

We love ghetto and Frankenstein builds

Haha, thanks. Ghetto would be pretty accurate, I used a hacksaw on three torches, then a shotput in a sock to smack em all together lol
