    Wich laser should i get?

    Ya but, Skylasers change the site. They said their green lasers had a flaw in the design of the circuit, so they put new lasers up (whats on there now) until they fix it. Skylasers use to have FDA approved laser pens. But due to the fault, the replaced it with non-FDA approved pens until its...

    Best way to clean my laser?

    I should mention, Using my air compressor (200PSI tank + air control = constant air stream at any power) did nothing. But just a cotton swab with nothing on it, down the hole, moved it a tad on the lenses, pointed it at a wall, was flawless, Only a dot. None of that grainy crap around it :)...

    Best way to clean my laser?

    Hello laser pointer forums again, After dropping my laser on the floor today and getting a bit worried as it kinda malfunction a lot turning it self off, it soon worked fine.

    My first laser. Need help.

    FYI, I emailed sky lasers about the stupid change of green lasers, and they said there was a problem on the main board, so they put different not 5-point FDA approved green lasers up until they fix it. Thus, I'm not buying any until they put the original FDA 5-point approved green lasers up...

    OPTOTRONICS green laser pens, cant possibly be MADE in the USA. Since its over 5mw and it doesnt have the stupid 5-point safe crap on it. I'm still going to go with skylasers for this reasons, all lasers are 100% legal and FDA approved, and heres a biggy maybe for this thread, It's located in...

    Tutorial: Side Button 'Pocket Pal' Laser Build!

    Re: Tutorial: Side Button 'Pocket Pal' Laser Build For those one pens, with 100 seconds on, 30 seconds off duty cycles, Would adding a metal ring (multiple thick metal rings) around the head, help cool it down? Or doesn't it work like that? Wanted to improve the time it can be on and decrease...

    Tutorial: Side Button 'Pocket Pal' Laser Build!

    Re: Tutorial: Side Button 'Pocket Pal' Laser Build I'm sorry but could someone give me a tad more information on this. I'm just confused with this one part.

    Looking for a laser

    Hey ArRay, Maybe your the right person to ask for this. Is a 100mw red laser good to use for a burning laser? If I ever wanted one id get the red because its cheaper, but next year. I wanted to get the green one for the beam this year, maybe the red for the burner next year. :D Good burner?

    Looking for a laser

    Yeah I'll get the 55. If I want a burning laser I'll get the 100mw red down the road next year. That way I pay less for a burner and my green for the beam. :)

    Looking for a laser

    Well I think i made a decision. I was debating a 55mw or a 75mw from skylasers. The 75, cant really burn much. Skylasers told me, that Indoors during the day, I will be able to see the beam as clear as my 5mw at night. aka faded. But at night, it will be VERY visible. Also to their site, a 55mw...

    Looking for a laser

    So what your saying is, Even tho they claim it's a 15mw green laser, with a visable beam in that enviroment (no smoke i guess) It's going to be higher... Because I want a FDA approved laser. I'm willing to spend 150 MAX for one. And I'm not sure what's the best FDA approved laser for that...

    Looking for a laser

    Yeah, They claim the 55 can only burn with a magnify glass, as the 75 can burn without one.  But if the beams the same,  I'm not sure what to do.. I guess it depends if I want burning :S I'm confused.  Why is it that 75mw on skylasers (to their chart) say you cant burn much besides a balloon at...

    Looking for a laser

    Artix you interest me.  But why is the 55 only 9 dollars more?  Anyways yeah,  I wanted a laser with a beam that was a lot more visible than my 5mw.  Like someone said before, the beam is faded in the night sky.  And in a house, I can only see it looking towards the laser, and see it reflecting...
