what exactly is a pot mod and how do you do it?

I tried the search function but all of the results just pointed to people saying how much off an improvement they had in their lasers. I couldn't actually find out what you need to do to do it.

Also, would a wicked lasers laser be pot moddable? The most popular seems to be the Leadlight 105 and a few different ebay clones, but I have not heard anything about the wicked lasers.


Thanks.

"The potentiometer is the part that adjusts the power output."

Thanks. I tried it and discovered that my wicked lasers classic 15 can be turned up a little bit. It is brighter, or at least the beam is hotter as if I put my hand in front of it for around 5 seconds it starts to burn! But the power is very unstable. It constantly increases and decreases brightness! You think that I should go turn it down a little bit?

Probably - keep it there laser will more than likely be short lived. You can experiment with it and just go down until the beam is stable.
