Kipkay copied Rog!

Not original, just a knock off or rogs. pretty dumb to go intentionally out of the way to make it different but with the same concept.
 





Like I posted above... It's OK to build something similar to Rog's Lighter...

What's NOT OK is bragging about his being the "World's First"...
and condoning shining a high powered Blu-Ray Laser towards the user's
eyes... (seen by his own video)...

And I was gracious enough to say on my website that it was the discussion here that got me thinking....

Laserbee is correct, my designs are out there to be used, I don't do production.

Have you thought about using lithium batteries? That way you wont have to use 2.

Kipiskor....has a nice ring to it. LOL:)
 
Yes but I thought you needed at least 9v to power a rkcstr driver with a GGW. What would happen if its under 7.5v?

Keep in mind I dont have a flex drive.
 
If KipKay "SENT" people here, they would never buy anything from him :crackup:

I have no problem with KipKay claiming "first." KipKay is who KipKay is. It would have been nice to drop an attribution to Rog for the inspiration, but that only carries weight in "professional" circles. If he had made the claim in this forum, I would have been all over him. He didn't. He made it in his own marketing video.

KipKay's verbiage is for marketing. One rarely points out that the product that they are selling is sub-standard. No one expects them to.

I have no problem with KipKay charging so much for his parts. As I have stated before, in retail the value of your merchandise is whatever you can get paid for it. It is a fact of commerce that ignorant customers will pay more and "insiders" will pay less. Welcome to the free market.

The problem I have is that if the product is used AS SHOWN in the marketing, it will result in harm to the ignorant consumer. Rog's design specifically dealt with the direction and termination of the beam. KipKay's shows that you must shine the laser beam directly toward your eyes for it to work.

KipKay -- Take down the video. Then, at least, instruct the consumer to light the material while pointing the laser in a SAFE direction. It would be better still if you replaced the video with one showing the lighter used in a safe manner.

Then you get to still sell the parts for the unit, but don't have to keep a personal injury lawyer on retainer.

Peace,
dave
 
My bad....I thought you said flexdrive....

Basicly, the laser will still work, but the current would start to drop from the second you turn it on.
 
Wow, I just replied on his video instructing people to not shine it as close to their face as he did and to max. give the laser a 15 sec duty cycle because of the lack of heatsinking.. and Kipkay went and deleted my comments and blocked me! What a jerk, unbelievable.
 
Well he's a member here... you can always "delete" some of his rep points..
with a note on why...
and you can also put him on your "ignore" list...:whistle:
