hello all,
i am new to all this laser stuff and im looking for a little help. i am planning on purchasing a 200MW RED LASER POINTER from budget gadgets. Is there a better deal than the one that i might purchase? also, what color laser burns the best? the only reason why am i buying lasers is for burning things :P so please give me tips and details so you can help me out

here at o-like not sure about budget gadgets maybe someone else can tell you but from what i have heard o-like will be your better bet

I have the new style 200mW adjustable from O-like and I love it. It burns real well and adjusts easy. I dont have a way of testing the power but I am sure it runs 180mW and above. Contact Susie if you have any questions at all. She shipped my laser and batteries/charger seperate to get past U.S. customs. I would suggest this laser to anyone.

wow that looks like a crazy good deal

budget gadgets is very good about shipping and customer service. usually it takes 3 or more days for things to get where i live and it took less than two weeks all together.

Correct me if I am wrong sumone, but I am pretty sure that I read that blu-ray burns the best, Thats why I went with the PHR-803T for my first burning laser build

It is a great deal. I thought it was too good to be true. There actually was one problem with my laser. The tail cap gets stuck but Susie sent me a new one. It should be here soon.

the reason it burns better is because of the shorter wavelength therefore higher energy. but i think a red focusable is gonna be the best bet due to the cost per/mW. someone please correct me if im wrong

i know people think that burning things will be at the top of their list when you buy a laser but i find myself using my green 50mw more then my 200mw laser

Yeah I forgot to mention about the wavelength, And yes I believe you are right That red would be a better deal for him because of the 200 mw

Thats cool she hooked you up...Ill have to pick up one of these when I get a few extra bux

wow, you guys are awesome! haha, thanks for the help!!!

No problem!!! what did you choose?

I just checked out the one you were going to buy and it is the exact same one from O-Like so it is all up to you.

the hosts looked alot different to me... I like the look of the one he was looking at better but i trust o-like so...

I'd go with the O-Like one, at O-Like you get a free charger for the batteries.
I didn't see a charger in the pictures at budget gadgets.

well, im gonna stick to a red laser. i might buy it from budget gadgets, but im hearing great stuff about o-like. im trying to look up susie, can someone please tell me what that is? i never heard of it. haha

The only difference that I saw was that the other ones dont come with a charger As the O-Like one does.

susie is a person, not an "it" haha

she is with o-like

oh wow, i feel dumb...haha. i think ill buy from o-like now. does anyone know what batteries it comes with? i hear that using a 3.6v instead of a 3.0v battery will make the laser preform better.

dont feel dumb you didnt know it was just funny to hear someone say that

3.0V Batteries will come with it.
You can use 3.6V, but you wont get the warranty.

And yes, buying from O-Like is better because you wont waste money on new batteries every day :P

yes o-like is great!

Ya at Wal-Mart those batteries are around $10 for 2. So I got the rechargeable for sure. All my lasers have rechargeable batteries.
