I'm planning to do a 12x 405 build soon and I would like to get some opinions or ideas on a good host, here is what I'm looking for:

-momentary on/off (side), might settle for a clicky
-sleek, I plan on getting this powder coated so I want it to be smooth.
-perhaps 10440s as the power supply

Let me know what you think, I'm in no hurry on this one. Thanks

-Matt

Well, you could use a C6 host. Its exactly the same as the survival laser you have there. Use a massive 18650 power supply... buy a nice heatsink whatnot... or you can look in jayrob's catalog for 10440 host ideas. He has a few pen 10440 host kits FS.

I was debating something similar to you but I was planning on using this host

with a 405 build, was thinking of using a 12X bdr-s06J, but for $50 VS say a 445... also the other thought it hit me, I want decent battery life, and with 10440.... using a 12X running 600mA or so you'll be getting probably around 30 minutes or so, since 10440's are ~350mA, plus there was no room ofr a heatsink.
