what parts should i use to burn match and pop balloons ?

[streak]

hello guys!
Actually i new to laser last time i made a laser but it lasted for 5 mins only. This time i am trying to make a laser that can pop ballon r burn matches , But i am totally blank what should i use . Can you guys recommend which diode , housing ( capable of making a straight beams ) and driver to power the diode .
I want to buy 6 of each for backup purposes. And thinking of budget about 65 USD . Can any of you please help.

did you use a driver for your laser?

i hope you didn't do a Kipkay mod where you direct drive the diode like a led?

If you're looking to build something simple, go to user DTR's laser shop. He sells plain diodes, diodes with drivers attached, diodes with drivers attached in a module and set in heatsink, or all the parts separately.

just buy the bdr 209 combo from DTR and get a host combo from survival laser.

In your title, did you mean meth instead of math as in trimethyl borate in methanol solution that StyroPyro uses in his videos to get a green flame (it's his 'whoa' at the end that gets me every time)?



If it's the other meth, well then all I can say is ...

Actually e-bay is much cheaper option for me and i have few 400mw and 1 500 mw with me already i just need appropriate drivers and housing.

Don't know about these young people now days running around poping stuff and burning math, don't they know that stuff will make your teeth fall out?!!

I would not have guessed that :thinking:. And now that I see it, it is the obvious choice (well except for a snarky response :na. Hindsight 20/20 or better yet, good thing I wasn't a detective .
