O-like's 400mw Green is back in town!

It's off the website. They pulled it a while back actually.

I did receive mine earlier in the week, but I also paid for expedited shipping.

Unfortunately this new batch doesn't quite live up to the other ones. Mine has a bad clicky.. at least I hope it's a bad clicky. It has a tendency to not always turn on

Just FYI it's back:

They don't exist ,green lasers start with IR of 808 then 1064 than doubled to 532nm (visible green light )

He probably meant the modules, and if anybody finds a source that isn't $400, let me know as well.

What qumefox said. O-like is obviously getting them from somewhere, and whatever factory is selling them likely doesn't care who buys.

I got mine, 1 left!

Just hope your luck is better than mine.

The more I play with it, the more disappointed I get.

Update...

Just turned my laser on. It flickered and died.

Put in fresh battery... nothing.

Whoa! My 'buyer dissonance'* just kicked in with the send payment button on my keyboard still warm. What is the chief cause for your disapointment with your O-like 400mw?

Uhm, well...

1. Out of the box (or at least tons of bubble wrap), with a fresh battery, this laser didn't burn ANYTHING.

2. No visible beam in a well lit room, let alone a brightly sunlit room.

3. Despite some experience with other lasers, I was not able to get this laser to burn through a CD case no matter what I did. (After finding the focal point.)

4. Out of the box laser didn't turn on every time.

5. While this is subjective, beam didn't seem bright enough.

6. Laser is now not turning on at all. Tried three different batteries.

I spoke with Susie and she agreed to send me a replacement tail cap, but I suspect this is not the cause of all my problems.

China is off on holiday until tomorrow, but unless laser miraculously start working tomorrow, it is going back.

From objective testing, this laser is not >350mw, at least not all of them are. DAST posted an lpm reading with a peak of only 330mw. Considering the price, still not a bad deal.

I'm gonna ask for a replacement. Might wait until tail cap gets here, but at this point I'm not happy with my purchase.

@madmacmo Will do.

Just tried it again... it flickered, than nothing. Wouldn't be such a big deal really, but shipping, even expedited, back and forth will take forever.
