So hey, everybody knows that WL is basically a ripoff, but have you ever received any majorly overspec lasers from WL?

I my opinion Wicked Laser have a excellent customer service right now but in the past was horrible, I bought all my WL lasers to SC liquidations because the arctic 1W normally cost $175 and the krypton 300mW $229 both shipped, but sometimes I ask about specifications to the customer service and Joe N. and Jeice answer my questions in less than 12hrs and with a good answers.

But over expected laser personally not, my both arctics, my krypton and my E3all are under expected.
 
I had a "1.25W" Arctic that actually metered at 1.45W by Fiddy, I've personally never had any bad experiences with WL.
 
Jerry, I've read that thread before, but I was just wondering if anybody ever had received anything over spec. I order my lasers from users in here, they're more reliable than WL. :P
 
I had a huge-ass review made back in the day about the pair of Arctics.

It were one of those very early G2 models and they sure were underspec (averaging 700mW), but other than that the lasers were actually impressive, in construction, looks and functionality. My SmartSwitch never peeled off like some other people's did, temps were normal, battery lasted long time, and one out of two safety goggles I got were actually pretty damn good.

I have not dealt with them in the last... what was it, two years now? So I don't really know what can you expect NOW,

All I know is that I do remember those Arctics fondly and that my experience was dominantly positive.
 
Well they did ship the core to me fast but of course it was the free one from a publicity thingy they had going a while back. Turned around and sold that bad boy for 20 bucks.

I had a good experience with WL. In fact the s3 arctic is one of my favs.

Damn jerry ya got me, it hits a max of 1240, I've been waiting for Joe to email me because the guaranteed power graph for my laser is "unavailable" that being said along with the fact that its pricy, its still a favorite for me and its held up so far. I am quite eager to see what WL has to say about my lpm results...

I have the 100mW+ model krypton from WL. it seems to output around 200mW. i don't have an LPM so I'm not 100% sure but i am satisfied with my laser. Much better than my warn laser (which goes without saying)

Hey! I'm not looking to start a flame war here, I'm just asking out of curiosity, but what made you spend so much on a 100mW laser?
 
When I saw the title of this OP I heard silence only interupted by the faint sounds of crickets..... lol

Just how many chances are we supposed to give WL to become a great outfit to buy from and deal with- ??

The copy in the first listing of the Arctics was one of the worst thing to ever be printed for our 'hobby' it was picked up by the mainsteam news and it was apparent that WL cared nothing about us and only about getting lots of orders and making tons of profits- the hosts are a POS and I was told by someone who knows(in china) that WL paid around $7.50 per host.

The phrase 'out of stock' must be beyond Steve/Chris (et al names) comprehension as rather than dissapoint the many buyers they gladly took the $$ and just made many wait a very very long time. Thier forum is run with only one way to think or post about WL and they have sent people here to say good things about them which in most cases was not entirely true.

So even tho at one time WL a good place to do biz and maybe now its better than when things really sucked, it is still avoided by many vets here. if you do biz with them and are unhappy dont come back here whining about it- you did not do your homework or ignored all the warnings/
