I see the efest have flat tops, is that going to be an issue with the 301s?

Right on. Thank you! Let me know what you come up with.

Man. Talk about the quickest experience of buyers remorse I've ever had! So I've got 10 chargers and batteries headed towards me that belong in the recycle bin. :( Thanks for the heads up. What is the lowest cost, but reliable 18650? I know i should be doing my own research and i will as...

Awww crap! I just saw that part about the batteries! LOL. Ohh well. I guess if need be i can order a 10pack of good 18650s. :( Thanks for the help.

Ok well I just placed an order for a lot of 10. Hopefully it's not a disappointment. Thanks for the advice and well wishes. I love how cool this community is. You guys are always so helpful and nice. Much appreciated! Cheers!

Thanks! Yeah, i am big on safety with lasers and they are well aware of the concerns. I noticed on several of the ebay listings for the 301s that they are all similare except for the engraving on the host itself. So i have to assume they are manufactured at many different places. Are there...

I had actually never seen the 301s until i just did an ebay search. So i can definitely assume they haven't either. Awesome! They look way better quality of a host than the typical pointers. Are they overspec like the others? Nice Carl Sagan tribute in the signature BTW. :)

Looking for some groomsman gifts. Figured I'd get them some lasers, because who doesnt like a nice greenie right? I would really like to get some in the price and power range as the overspec ebay ones. But, most of my guys either have one or seen mine. So i was hoping someone here could point...

As far as time travel movies go, which i really enjoy as well; Predestination - This movie is a total mind F* Looper Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel Primer The Butterfly Effect Edge of Tomorrow Army of Darkness. ;) -speaking of that anybody watch Ash vs Evil Dead? Project...

I'm also surprised nobody has mentioned Europa Report. I didn't see anyone say I am Legend either. Though most people I talk to don't like it. I enjoyed it.

Well i just got done using the soldering station and am pleased with how it performed. Like I said, Ive never used anything other than a radio shack iron, so I didnt have much to compare it to. But, it made my little solder job way easier than last time i tried soldering. I set it at 350 C...

Yeah thats the only negative thing I've seen on this Aoyue is that the display only reads Celsius. Nothing a quick google search cant take care of to convert that to Freedom units. ;)

No that's my fault. I even read that graph Daichi posted and it still got past me. Aparently i don't read good. Lol. Its been a long day and the only thing on my mind is the stainless host coming in the mail today.

So, what would be the easiest way to figure out the known temp of the iron? Would one of those infrared laser temperature guns work? Could i use a cheap harbor freight one or are those pretty inaccurate as well?

Wow. I didnt even think about that. I just checked the specs on the sah-dur i ordered with my iron and found out its 60 tin / 40 lead. :( Should i jist go ahead and order some new stuff or would i be ok with this chinese knockoff? Im really only going to be soldering the ring on the contact...

Haha i feel like when i say sah-dur, i put a boston accent on it. Kinda of like when im looking for my car keys, i say i can't find my kahkis. .... Then my wife hands me my tan pants... *Badum Tiss*

Right on thanks for the info guys. I also have a very shaky hand when soldering. It seems the more I try to steady it, the worse it gets too. I dont know if it's a mental thing or what. On a sode note: Am I the only one that has a problem pronouncing solder properly? I know it is supposed to...

First of all, I hope Im posting this in the right section. Apologies if not. I just decided to purchase my first real soldering iron, an Aoyue Int937+. I've never used anything other than cheapo radio shack style irons. Now I've got this temperature controlled soldering station, and realized...

Yeah. I'm usually the type to do lots of research on something before I buy online, but didn't on this one. Though it was a horrible mistake, I can say that this has been the first time I've been screwed in my many years of online purchases. Live and learn I guess? BTW... I love that avatar...

Figured there was no reason to start another thread for this so I'm just going to comment on this one: I just had the same thing happen to me. Did an impulse buy for the laser lighter kit off laserdiy.com a bit over a month ago. Finally got a package in the mail the other day and only had a...
