I would strongly suggest using a digital voltmeter to check the voltages on the batts fresh off the...

    At 24$? Give it a shot. Might be a wee bit tight with the modified driver. A step bit will make quick work of the reflector. Upgrade the switch= good idea. I'd say let her rip.

    E-Cigarette Explodes

    This seems to happen when people stack batteries in tube mods. It works ok for a little while and then explodes. There was an incident a while back where a guy used Radi0 shack cr123's in series in a Puresmoker mod & injured himself and his spouse. The batteries saw maybe 2 ohms resistance...

    Reflector cleaning

    My book protagonist needs a flashlight

    Does this universe accept,say a bio-engineered form of algae that can be used as a electrical source that converts body heat to electricity ( say when you hold it in your hand) as a battery ? It could be replenished from a fish tank or something. Leaves your other hand free to off the odd monster .
