I thought an infrared filter just blocked infrared light altogether :-/ WarezWally, you said you received it in seven days in your review. Was that with the free mail or did you choose express and take the risk?

but no IR = no burning

That was with free option (registered international), normally it takes a few weeks but this one was fast.

So this one won't pop balloons since there is an IR filter? I'm still deciding if I should buy this one or the dx true 30 one.

I should be getting mine some time next week.

If I get it, which battery and charger do you guys recommend me getting?

I just compared 2 batteries on dx and here are the dimensions.
Ultrafire: 1.42 in x 0.63 in x 0.63 in
Trustfire: 1.34 in x 0.63 in x 0.63 in
Looks like the trustfire ones are a bit shorter, maybe that's why you can't close your laser all the way.

Sure no ir lessens the burning power. But in a good laser you shouldn't depend on ir to do the burning. The green can burn just as well and it collimates better. By the way, i ordered a charger, two sets of two trustfire cr123 protected cells. (glad i did too seeing as the dimensions are smaller) and the romisen 30mW laser last night and it has already shipped!

Glad I bought these http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.8683
They should be able to fit in my dsd charger.

i heard of someone recharging primaries with a charger when its on the 3volt setting. He's recharged the same battery 5 times without ill effect.

Sounds like a good idea until they blow up and set your house on fire. The rechargeable lithiums cost like $1 more on dx.......

 

[cbrian4]

Yeah i wasn't about to try it. I probably shouldn't have said anything, i know better. I regularly fly rc helis which use lithium polymer batteries which are even more dangerous than lithium ion and i only use a balance charger. Why are all my hobbies expensive? :-/

some of us should be getting our lasers this week! i cant wait!
