Wickedlasers VS Dragonlasers

Multilasers1 · 06-26-2010, 11:16 PM

What do you prefer?

Has anyone experienced both of em?
I know that both companies produces different units with different specifications but I wonder generally what you prefer.

Dragonlasers sells CNI, and Wicked makes their own.

I prefer CNI to Wicked, especially after this last stunt.

Fonduman · 06-27-2010, 12:37 AM

hmm, both are overpriced, thats a draw. wl has arctic, +1. they screwed up the arctics marketing and stuff, -1. still a draw. both names a bit silly, -1 for both. wl probably has a better site layout, i say they win.

CNI used to build wickeds lasers for them in their custom hosts back in the day...

I had experience with both, own one laser from DL, absolutly love it, tried to order from wicked twice but couldnt get past the awful customer service and the lieing CEO of the company, IMO DL is far superior to WL, and CNI's design is also superior to wicked as well IMO...

Wanna save some cash, check out scopeguy20's direct CNI group buys conducted in the group buy section of the forum, he offers a pretty steep discount to the CNI resellers like dragon or laserglow, but you have to wait longer for it.

Pontiacg5 · 06-27-2010, 01:47 AM

Wicked didn't even put them in their custom hosts back then, they just resold CNI lasers. Before they sold CNI's they resold pot modded leadlight lasers!
My 125mW CNI is in reality a Wickedlasers Fusion

I have like 6 Wickedlasers wooden burgundy cases that they used to send with the CNI's too, I don't know if they still use those or not.

Wicked used to be a good company, and they still make good lasers. But their tactics make me angry.

What???
Laserglow uses CNI modules and resell them for 9 trillion dollars?
I though that they made everything themselves, especially when the 850mw 532nm costs 12995 USD

Prototype · 06-27-2010, 10:51 AM

They cost so much because you're buying them one at a time, and very few if any of those power portable lasers are sold, I wouldn't be surprised if there hasn't been a single >800mW Hercules sold ever. You're buying from resellers, DragonLasers and LaserGlow are both resellers, their prices are fair for the quality. Try contacting CNI and trying to buy a single laser, you'll get a very big quote to get you to go away, which is why we should be thankful we have Glenn, who runs the group buys to get insanely good prices for us.

Asherz · 06-27-2010, 10:58 AM

Dragonlasers by far, I think there quality is far superior and is targeted more towards hobbyists rather than 12 years olds who want a lightsaber to blind themselves with.

Lol, so true!! Unfortunate, but true

Woodofcville · 06-28-2010, 12:02 AM

Go with DL, I've personally dealt with the customer service of DL and they're fast and friendly. WL screams "go away unless you're here to buy the 3000$ 200mW green laser that you could get elsewhere for <500$..." Wicked has always, and will always, suck especailly when compared to sites like Laserglow or Dragonlasers.

rathat · 07-09-2010, 02:57 AM

Well now with that insane price drop, WL by far.

LaserGlow is a great company. A while back i bought one of their 50mW
Aries, but what i got in the mail was one of there 75mW Aries units and a
letter saying they were sorry if upgrading my order at no extra charge was
going to be an inconvenience. How cool is that!

jeffreythe00 · 07-09-2010, 03:10 AM

Dragon lasers, i had purchased a pair of glasses from them. I moved and never got them so they were sent back to china. They were lost for over 4 and a half months i had thought for sure DL would never refund me for them. I had talked to frank many many many times and he answered all my questions. He was very responsive aswell. He even upgraded my account because of the loss and now i get a a discount everytime i purchase somthing off there. I had some "Ehhhh" talks with support for wicked when i purchased my spyder which was "out of stock" and took 3 weeks to get in stock.I even got hung up on a few times when i wanted to inquire about my order.

My money is with DL for sure!

So did you get your glasses or did they refund your money?

jeffreythe00 · 07-09-2010, 10:50 AM

They gave me a choice. They would reship them to my new address but it would cost me 20$ shipping. Or they would refund my money minus the cost of shipping. I already had glasses by that time so I chose a refund.

c0ldshadow · 07-14-2010, 04:30 AM

i have a dragonlasers 1mw 594mW yellow laser, was $289 (seemed to be the cheapest price for a yellow at the time) and i think i got lucky and got an overpowered one=)
