Questions about the "new style" 200mW Dilda..

Hi folks. Some of you may remember me as I used to post here a couple of years ago before I sold all my lasers. Anyway, I'm getting back into the hobby and just purchased the new style dilda v2 from O-Like which will hopefully arrive soon.

I've read a few posts on here saying that the driver has changed and that the voltage is now regulated better.. I've read a few other posts saying it hasn't changed, so I'm not real sure what the verdict is?
Will using 3.6v batteries boost the power on the new dilda like it did with the old one? Or is the new one regulated?

My other question(s) is concerning the head assembly and lens. Does the lens screw in like the old one, or is it completely different? Does anyone have any pics of the new style head unassembled? Will a glass lens upgrade work for boosting power? If so, where can I get one and how much are they?

Yeah, I know.. I could probably find answers to most of those questions by searching through all the old posts. But I haven't been here in a long time, and I'm lazy. So any help would be appreciated.

The New Style is regulated different. The consensus on this board is the New Style Dilda just generates more heat with 3.6V batteries.

The body, head and lens all have threads.

You can get the lens upgrade here: +- 20% increase. Price $57.00

Thank you GreenMechanic. Very helpful. In that case, I think I'll spring for the lens upgrade whenever I get some extra $$$.
