Well i got home from the bank a few minutes ago and i did it!! i ordered the x100!!!! i got the tnt shipping so it should be here on friday im excited!!!!
Well, your going to need batteries. Depending on how much you use your laser and what kind of situation you are in money wise depends on what you should do for power. The X-100 is now keychain laser-it will suck power like nothing you have seen I have the same model in a 55mW version and the power drainage there is no great either.
The point is that you ill either be spending a lot of time buying batteries or a lot of time charging them. Alkalines are fine-they wont break your laser or anything, but they will run out VERY quick and it will end up getting rather expensive.
Lithiums work wonders, and if you can afford to buy them comfortaly-id recommend them. I have only used them a few times as im not in the position to spend dozens of bucks on batteries, but they do work great.
But from what i have found out, NiMh's are the best choice for a balance of price efficiency and effectiveness. If you get a good kind, each battery can be recharged to atleast 500 times. Thats 500 uses out of one cell......
GOT MY LASER TODAY!!!!!!!!!! its a beast!! (well for my first laser its a beast) rated @ 130.1 max and 122.5 average. i havent really done much with it yet other than lighting some matches and making my neighbors think that aliens are attacking (they honestly couldnt figure out what the green beam in the sky was) if you guys wanna tell me some cool little tricks or experiments i can do with this thing ill post a review with some vids and pics over the weekend... lastley i just want to thank you guys for showing me the truth and steering me away from crap and twards Nova!!! i couldnt be happier with it this far!!! THANKS!
Heh you will be amazed at that laser, i like trying to light fireworks with them, hopefully you have some left over from new years ;D. Although, be careful those dont feel to good when you shine them on your arm, ive learned from experience
