Good to know I'm not the only one worn out by the news.

Technically anything over 5mW isn't eye-safe even for a moment, and seeing as your laser is 700mW the splatter you're seeing is likely above 5mW. The splatter could be a few things, one being a dirty lens that could be cleaned with compressed air or a q-tip/cotton swab. Occasionally these...

Unfortunately the election was stolen, and Paul is right it likely will be stolen again. The Jan. 6 farce sealed the deal and saw a few republicans come out swinging referencing gun violence with crocodile tears - yet the only gun violence on that day was an unarmed patriot getting gunned down...

I hate to dignify this thread with a response but I'll toss my perspective in the ring. In my opinion this, all of this political theater, just serves to make us tired and drive honest voters to the point of not following the news anymore or voting. It has done exactly this for me. I've...

Happy Thanksgiving and a safe upcoming Festivus to all!

Fruit flies are really annoying - try a vinegar trap if you haven't! They fly in by the dozens when you do it correctly.

I have had great luck with Tinkertavernco on eBay, they even ship from the USA and they're a member here on the forum!

This is exciting stuff! I'm looking forward to an 8W+ blue handheld in the future.

I can't be the only one, right? Just now an eight legged freak was dangling above me and I took great pleasure in gutting it with a 1.6W 445nm laser beam (Thanks Tinkertavernco!). Something about that snap-crackle-pop sound the fallen creepy creature makes followed by the small puff of smoke...

This thread is making me laugh in many ways this morning. Thanks everyone. The choice of decor reminds me of this video I recently saw on YouTube. Similar decor in Bryce Michael's room.

SO. Not interested anymore. Jeez. This escalated quickly. @OP: All they were suggesting is that you use a middleman from the forum, a trusted member whom owns an LPM so that you could be an honest man and a man of your word, and sell a laser with the correct power advertised. PayPal won't...

I'm telling you, someone messed with him and soaked his stankbroccoli in formaldehyde and now he's having a very strange bad trip every time he smokes. @Tallmonkey try shaving off all body hair. Yes all. All. I don't care if your girlfriend likes it Brazilian. You could have some acute over...

They are all Diode Pumped Solid State lasers, meaning a diode fires laser light through crystals to achieve the desired wavelength. The main reason for the higher price of yellow and blue DPSS lasers is how hard it is to make the crystals required, they make lots, but can only use a few, so they...

Smell like a scam with answers like that... And I was interested. :(

What did you have to pay for this thing, full price? :/

I bought a tritium vial just about a month ago from amazon, and I know you can't buy a tritium vial just anywhere in the United States, just like a high powered laser, I think it's illegal to import, but no effort is made to enforce it's ban once it's successfully stateside.. Thankfully in this...

You freak me out, Bob. :gj:

Once you're a registered developer for apple you get invites to their famous keynotes to party with the guys in the turtlenecks. Worth it. iPhone 5! :D

The £ has puzzled me.

When you can make a pretty good guess at the wavelength of anything, and you've seriously organized your closet by wavelengths. Having OCD along with the laser thing isn't so good. xD When you've taken the suggestion of a few select members and only recently realized that you can light things...
