To be honest, when I measured the divergence on my own evo pro and found that it was actually 1.5mRad. However, this isn't 'terrible', but does put some limitations on distance burning without a beam expander. (ex. I can only pop a sharpied balloon at 10 ft) The previously listed 1.2mRad on...

Heh, when I got my Evo Pro just as the Arctics were shipping way back, no one was expecting any bit of quality in their lasers since things were way too rushed. Mine averaged at ~133mW (according to WL's graph). My laser also lacked a noticeable "peak" in output and only stopped at around 135mW...

Didn't see it posted anywhere... 5mW 405nm Violet Purple Blue-Ray Blue Laser Pointer Pen - eBay (item 220655229771 end time Sep-15-10 04:25:55 PDT) Only $3.36 with Free Shipping. Thought these were going for $7 to $10 recently. I wonder if these will be overspec ones as well.

Well 'technically' lower quality DPSS lasers will tend to be modehopping quite a lot (usually TEM01 to TEM03). That's just how they work... even high quaility DPSS lasers may modehop during warmup or operating at an inefficient temperature. From what I've read and observed myself, DPSS will most...

It's very true that WL is the brand not to trust (at least during this Arctic madness :o). They are struggling greatly to mass produce arctics, so the QC of their lasers 'may' not be smiled upon. Yes, it's true - there could be delays in shipments (for all lasers). However, in my case, they...

You applied stress/weight on the tape while cutting right? (like hanging the tape roll on a desk edge) I cut a tape in 40-50 seconds with my Evo Pro 130mW. Just saying... they'll only 'cut' when you have some sort of tension applied. The more tension the faster it will cut. Truthfully... the...

Sure. Don't have beam shots atm, just the box and the laser itself.

I received the Evo Pro... on time and working. :) I can confirm that WL has NOT changed the modules with some Newwish junk. They appear to be CNI modules still. ;) Note: Took SIX days from paying to receiving the laser. (note: I ordered on a Saturday, so it was probably delayed to Monday...

Yes it's valid... it flew from China to Alaska to Central US already lol. (in 1 day). ;) Should be seeing it soon.

Update: for all who wanted to know...if the other discounted lasers are shipping first. The Tracking Email just came in three days after ordering. (for my Evo Pro). Looks like they aren't being held back like the Arctics.

Similarly, I ordered an Evo Pro 130mW during the weekend. So far ... (expected) the tracking number has not shown up yet. I'll let you guys know if I get a tracking #. On their chat, Colin 'said' that the arctics won't delay other lasers from shipping. This seems to be Not the case. Like others...

Well if you look at "Green 532nm LaserShields Goggles", the graph of the OD rating shows 2+ at 400nm to 532nm. Therefore, the green blocking seems to be have a simliar OD against 445nm lasers. Judging by the graph provided, ~450nm seems to have a ~3+ rating. Of course, I do not know if...

Not a problem, Just use the tab button right after you click the last checkmark. By tabbing it once... it should be highlighted at the bottom of your browser "http://www.wickedlasers.com/laser-tech/blue_light_hazard.html". Tab it once more to get it onto the "Agree and Purchase" button (which...

Hi Hemlock Mike, Since the current models have a wide beam, I would like to know how much slower the burning capability is compared to a thin beam. Have you tried burning anything without focusing the 150mW wide beam? How fast would it ignite a match focused to infinity? Out of the thin and...
