this is why you need a labby - 100% duty cycle.
i left my WL core on for 6 minutes flat and it didnt seem to bother the laser. most pen lasers have a duty cycle so be careful. |

| But would I be able to take it out of the cooling thing and use it like I normally would? |

| No, I don\'t think so. For heat to actually transfer you need a tight fit (I\'m talking you need a vice or something) or sealed with some thermal epoxy (arctic silver ceramique...) |
