For people who have X105s, how long does it take you to light matches and pop balloons?
I think for a 12" black balloon, it takes me about 3 or 4 seconds to pop the balloon from about 2' away (with very shaky hands.)
For matches, it seems to take too long. With a small regular old Diamond match, from about 6" away holding both in my hands it takes anywhere from 5-15 seconds. Again, shaky hands aren't helping.
I've used both Energizer Li batts and regular alkaline Rayovacs. Both have about the same result.
Do these numbers sound good :-?? It seems to me from hearing about other people's X105s and similar lasers and watching vids that all that should be faster...
I'll try to do some better testing and timing tonight (after class and the Red Sox game - crossing my fingers they win :-/.) I'll also try to find a better way to hold the pointer and matches still and let you guys know the results.
Thanks for the help!
