On second thought, I think I'll keep this laser. I had no idea about the whole Tyler drama, I never would have thought that a year later, the name of someone who was once very respected would be mixed with shit like that. Anyhow, as I have no way to confirm or prove the specs of that laser, and...

For sale is one custom-built 8x 375mw Blu-Ray (405nm) in a Pocket Mini host with FlexDrive, 405-G-1 lens and EzFocus adapter. Built around a year ago by the man himself, Darkarmyofone. The laser has seen hardly any use, spending all the time tucked safely away in a drawer. It has not even gone...

I believe my laser is already complete and on it's way to me :)

I am curious, to what power is my laser set to? Is it a safe value?

I am curious... is it possible to install rubber o-rings on the tail and head caps to offer some sort of protection from humidity, as well as shock resistance?

holy crap, with "only" 130mw that thing lights matches instantly! really makes me wonder what my 375mw blu-ray will be able to do...

tbh you should have just waited for replacements to arrive, there really was no need to rush and order a whole new batch of flexdrives. we all knew delays were possible when we engaged your service. a few days here or there wouldn't make much difference if the end product is worth it.

oooh, I wonder if my laser that Darkarmyofone is building for me would be even better in that host... :)

woot, I'm in! btw, what does "6x" mean?

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I feel I have to ask it. What's the deal with blu-ray lasers? They seem to be less powerful yet more expensive than green ones. Why is that? Can they burn stuff more effectively? Are they more visible? What am I missing?

If you mean that I'd have to make my own laser from assorted CNI parts, then that's not really an option. I am a complete noob when it comes to electrical stuff and, of course, I can't solder.
