Hello, LtMazz here from the states, just joined been lurkin around for a few weeks. So finally decided to sign up and say hey! I never owned a real lasers before but i wanna get one soon.
Thank god for this forum too, There was so much i didnt know safety wise its crazy. Im looking to spend $200 or less for my first laser and Safety goggles. A strong beam and burning some stuff is what im looking for green probaby. So something 100-150mw is what thinking. For the goggles i want ones with good protection. Seems best to get diff pairs for diff color lasers? I love my eyes and alot of the stories here about "accidents" are rather scary. so a good pair is important. Any suggestions or advice would be awesome.
Anyway nice to meet everyone and yall seem real awesome =)

Welcome to the forum :beer: Lt Mazz try Scopeguy20 for them laser safey glasses and he can send you in the right direction for a laser also, if you be wanting to burn a 405nm would be the one to get. WELCOME !

Yah, I was actually thinking that if anyone here sells good products id rather support them and get it that way then support some company in china, sorry if that dont sound right but meh its how i feel. So any recommendations of whos good to deal with would be sweet. Ive been reading alot even the B/S/T forums so im gunna go look there some more and see what i find.

WELCOME--Enjoy the forums--you just missed a chance to get a RED, GREEN, and BLU-RAY for 150$ plus shipping. see them here: http://laserpointerforums.com/f39/3...-150mw-red-280mw-green-stable-50mw-48246.html .

Keep checking the BST forum or make a post there for Want to buy. The best deals always come from LPF members. You might even find a member living close to you as well.

WARNING!! Lasers are habit forming and can cause empty bank accounts.

On a more serious note-- protect your eyes. HZ

Welcome to the forum.
Keep looking on the B/S/T section.
Deals come up there at least once a week.
As stated above, if you are into burning, you need a 405nm Even powered as low as 30mW ,they will burn.
12X@600mw is much better, of course. You can literally set your house on fire with one of these bad boys
.(Right, Dave? LOL)
It will cost you a little more then $200, but, unbelievable power
