Hi all - I'm new here and was prompted to join as I just took delivery of what is meant to be a new 300mw green E3 laser from Wicked.
Unfortunately I bought it before I started searching for reviews on the web, and a number of places (this forum included) has reports of them delivering the wrong laser, being very slow etc.
They have sent me what I think must be at most a 25mw pointer, it doesn't come close to burning anything in fact I can keep the beam focused on my hand for minutes at a time and only some slight warmth.
Beam is just about visible in a lit room, when I compare it to my <5mw pointer from about 10 years ago there's barely any difference.
Are they likely to replace the pointer with what I paid over $300 for, or will they kick up about it? Is there any way I can prove what power the diode is running at?
Any pointers (ha) welcome.
