Ok, so new order went through without a hitch. The paypal address was the on you told me it'd be. I ended up going for their "New Cute Pocket Green Laser 150mw. 103 an change after shipping, I didnt see any shades for 532nm unless i'm blind already.

yes O-Like does have the correct goggles here's a link:
405nm,473nm,532nm laser safety goggles [OLGLG532] - $19.99 : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products

I have that very Laser, loved it, till it fell about 20 feet or so and hit pavement...
it no worky no more.

thinking about sending it back to O-Like for a re-build;
it's user error so I'll be paying for it, just wonder if it will be cheaper to buy another one?

be gentle with the focus ring, it's threads can jump track then strip easily.

well I imagine it's running on their 150mW modules so look up the price of that plus a little extra for refitting it and see if it's less than buying a new one.

It may be that the module is all glued into the host and comes dropped off to o-like like that so they may not be able to do much with it.

Guess I am blind already :p but seriously, im gonna make another order. Doesn't matter what you do, safety first. Thanks for the heads up on the focus ring. I was hopeing that by adjustable it ment focusable since all the other laser descriptions said focusable.


With the whole o-like.net and .com, same site own by the same people. I'm looking at the .net and it has a message saying to buy from the .com cuz the .net crapped out.

How long does it usualy take for it to be shipped out after ordering? I sent them e-mails the night of my order and haven't heard anything back yet.

I had some links to O-like lasers but all were gone today when I tried to access them. It kept re-directing me to a site called DSC-China.com that does not even sell lasers. I don't know if they got bought out or what. Don't quote me on this, because it could just be a glitch in their system....or mine!

A lot of chinese vendors use the exact same ISP. (There aren't a whole lot of them in China, they're very regulated.)

I'd bet that its a DNS problem on the side of the ISP, not that they got bought out...

Or it's possible someone hacked their site to redirect business. As of earlier today their ZenCart configuration said this:

"Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/o-like.com/public_html/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file (read-only, CHMOD 644 or 444 are typical). You may need to use your webhost control panel/file-manager to change the permissions effectively. "

So it's possible some other company may have come along and done a redirect.

I'd let Susie know but I doubt o-Like is gone.
