Hey guys! Ill just start by saying that lasers are freaking awesome, and anybody that disagrees really should just press the button of a 20+mw 532nm...
That being said, I jut got into actually owning a couple lasers that aren't plastic $5 red pet lasers haha.
My first laser was going to be a "5mw" green with a star kaleidoscope cap from usbgeek.com, and so I ordered it! Took a couple weeks to get, and I was disappointed to open the package and find a violet laser.. Which they don't even sell! On the pointer it is rated at <30mw and after playing with it I learned to enjoy it. I contacted them and they promptly re-sent the correct laser.
Once I got it, input the battery in, the star cap on, and fired it up... "Now THIS is the laser I paid for!"
It doesn't have a danger label on it, so I'm not sure what the rating is, but with a fresh AAA, it will melt-deform thin black plastic, and with a magnifying glass will burn thicker black plastic. Also the beam is very visible at night and can even point out individual stars.
After playing with those I decided to order a 50mw 532nm from Lazerer.com
In a couple weeks when I get to use it, I will review it.
So yeah! Other than lasers, I like to play with skill toys such as kendama and Yo-Yo. I also like to unicycle and pretty much anything else that is super cool, mentally engaging, or just fun!!
In a couple months I plan to start my first laser build, and will use this forum every step of the way! I'm excited to be apart of this forum, and look forward to the many good interactions to come!
Happy lazering!
