PocketMateW. 9W variable output blaster. Thread I.

Re: Introducing... the PocketMate-W. Variable outp

Curtis... The 168A is a great choice with ~25% more power but it is a couple of mm wider in diameter. If that is what you want, I would just use a thinner sleeve. But then 123s would rattle. It is all up to you. Let me know.

1300mA sounds awesome

Re: Introducing... the PocketMate-W. Variable outp

Thanks for the feedback. I got another question.

You said black only unless we can find a OA2C host..... what is an OA2C host? I am not sure what that means....

Is that just a 2C Mag?

I think I would want to go with the 168A thinner sleeve. Can I also purchase a 123 sleeve? Or maybe just put some 3 O-rings around the 123s (top/middle/bottom) to not make then rattle.

any idea how much lux this things put out when fully turned up?

Re: Introducing... the PocketMate-W. Variable outp

Sorry Cue, thought you would have picked it up by now looking at the photos /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif. OA = Ontario Aluminium. Take a look the inscriptions around the bezel of your 2C. I coined up the acronym about a year back. OA2C = 2C battery version, OA2D = 2 x D battery version, etc... I can only find black bodies, colours are difficult to come by. The sleeve is essentially hosing material. Your o-ring idea would work. Lux-wise, I have yet to do a 1300mA version. You would look at the 8k to 9k range I suspect.

Thanks /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Bart. Woof!

I will take one, does it runs only with pilas 168s, how about two pila 150s.

I think I didn't answer this... It will only work with 1 x 168S as that is compatible in size with 2 x CR123s (which you can also use). If you want to use Pila 168A let me know. Cue above wants one of those already so it woun't be much of a hassle to do another one. Let me know.

WOW! Oh man...I missed this one, Howard. This looks like just what I must have been waiting for. I'll try to get signed up for your next run if you do one.

This is very impressive. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/clap.gif

Re: Introducing... PocketMate-W. 5W variable output.

OK, this is the confirmed list so far... in no particular order. If there is interest, please let me know so I can keep the list updated. I'll be leaving this offer open for another week or so or until I get ~20 hosts (so I can get a better machiniing price for all).

All hosts are black unless you can supply your own. The machinist will be doing all the machining in one go so please send your hosts in ASAP. PM/EM me for my address.

** Britt, I've added you here

Re: Introducing... PocketMate-W. 5W variable output.

*** XFlash, CR123 sized sleeve or Pila 168A?

Re: Introducing... PocketMate-W. 5W variable outpu

How much more would it be to get both a 123a sleeve and a 168a sleeve?

Re: Introducing... PocketMate-W. 5W variable output.

Sorry about that, I'd like the CR123 sized sleeve.
Thanks
