So I've been looking around and it seems everyone has a bunch of different tastes in green lasers. I want to know what anyone feels was the best green laser for the price they paid, including DIY.

O-like, probably. www.o-like.com
Their 80~100mW modules are usually overspec, and for $70 shipped worldwide, that's not bad! Just buy a host and heatsink and battery and you're set.

Yeah, defiantly, O-like sells great modules at great prices, I have bought a 100mW module, BRIGHT, and burns too, does not perform under-spec. At least 100mW if not over.

I loves my 80-100mw pointer from Susie. the beam was a little off so I adjusted the lens on it (takes some work its glued in place) and now it is a tiny dot all the way down the block. shine it up the stairs in total darkness and it lights up the stairway. mine isnt really a great burner, but i lit a cigarette with the sun and a magnifying glass today so its alright

You should seriously consider Suzie's modules if you want a budget green pointer, like everyone has said. Like rocketparrotlet said, they perform generally overspec, and at unbeatable prices. If you can machine yourself a host or get one of Jayrob's kits (look in the BST section, they go for $55-$75 depending on options) then you will have one of the best pointers you can get at an amazing price.

From the looks of it, and by me taking apart mine and comparing, the 80-100mw module looks to be the exact same module that is in Susie's 80-100mw newwish style pointer.
(But Jayrobs DIY Green kit is so much more badass)

LEDshoppe sells 50mW pens for 24$, and they're usually up to spec.

Will the LEDShoppe 50mW light a match without additional lens?

I'm pretty sure a 50mW greenie will not light a match without a lens. It might maybe im not sure, but you could use a magnifying glass to get your beam to a nice small dot, then it would light it.

But with 50mW, it would still take a few seconds. To light instantly with a lens, probalby 70-80mW. Without the lens, about 100+ (just a guess).

No, but they're garunteed output, and I would trust Suzie. I would get the 100mW laser, though. Those are usually overspec, and there's barely a difference between 100-120mW. Plus, I don't really think it's worth paying 30$ for +20mW.
