Laser Pointer mod Guide

[Crooooooow!]

If it was re-designed, maybe, but your still stuck with the hole placement, If the shell was 2mm longer between the hole and the end cap it would be perfect.

Kind of like this one...

I have no expierence with working with electronics and such, but about a month ago i had an idea that a laser pointer might work as a custom PV..... then i hear of this thread! Which is absolutely what i was trying figure out in my head! (Odin be praised!) However my lack of electrical knowledge started to make my head hurt trying to crash course my self with what i can find via googleing

When i am brave enough to attempt my own mod, this is going to be my template. My original idea is a little bit different with the voltages as well as the battery type.

Thank you for rekindling my inspiration!

Cheers

Thanks, but i was referring to a different pointer that Cisco had posted on the previous page in this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/for...lasershell.jpg

No worries bro!

I have run across two other laser pointers trying to locate the one in picture via google and ebay. These seem promising but i am not sure if the buttons are far enough down. Brand New Silver Green Laser Flashlight 5mw 532nm ...USD20.25 Wholesale Price at DHgate

Hey Crow,

That laser was not bought. It was a custom made shell and I used the laser mod nose piece. I modded a laser similar to the ones in the links you posted

Wow! So you have!

I guess i should hit up a local machine shop to thread me a custom shell.
Thanks again!

Step 3 Electrical/ soldering

OK here is where I officially turn into a retard. I have no finesse when soldering, I know all the tricks and have all the right tools but I just can't get a good handle on soldering such small intricate stuff. You need to solder a small length of wire to the center post of your 901 atty connector (Fig 13). If your atty connector is a press fit in the nose cone there is no need for a ground wire. If you feel your atty connector is to loose you will need to solder a ground wire from the atty connector to the nose cone. When you solder the atty connector you really need high heat soldering gun. If you use a low watt gun you need to keep the heat on for a long time and this could melt the silicone gasket that isolates the threaded adapter from the center pin. Unless you remove the center pin to solder, I don't because i find the silicone gasket tears very easy, you could wind up with a short. You also need to remove the large resister on the laser emitter PCB (Fig. 14). You could either cut it off or unsolder it. The positive terminal spring that is soldered to the top of the PCB needs to be modded. Its just a coil of wire, in fear of the end of the coil rotating into the vent holes in the battery makes me nervous. What I did was bend the cut end over towards the center (Fig 15).

Do you know what the stock resistor is rated as far as ohms?

EDIT - After googleing color codes, and typing in their values into an online calculator i got 470 ohms, with a 10% tolerance. Is this correct or am I bass ackwards?

I don't know, Put a meter on it....

Very nice work, I can appreicate the work that goes into these mods through modding myself with a different hobby.
Before I was laid off I had access to every machine tool in the shop, plenty of scrap material, and the freedom to mod away.
Keep up the great work.
