Thanks for all replies and tips. Some of the gray flakes (whatever it is) was on the threads under the lens cap and some actually on the lens and down around diode. I carefully cleaned all of it. I took a low speed wire brush to all copper threads and made it shiny new again. Snugged it up...

So after messing around with this a while, I figured out I could snug the module down inside the host. I don't have a specific tool. I just used a tacky glove to hold the module and snug it tight. Put the lens cap back on and so far so good. So should I still get a thermal paste for the...

So this pocket laser has 3 major components. The stainless host. The copper module containing the diode/driver. The stainless end cap containing the lens. The copper module is threaded on both ends as seen in the pics. The end that screws into the lens cap has an o-ring; therefore, this end...

I bid $105. I think he was calling it like he was playing poker.

Actually with Obama math, you pay for it and Mail the laser to me because I feel entitled to it. $0 from me = laser. Lol. Don't get me started. 😬 Put me down another. $105
