hello boys....
i alreay have some green lasers about 50mw.... ..and one about 300mw green from rayfoss. but i can not go outsde home with a MONSTER HANDHELD laser...so it is becoming useless for me .....

so i would buy the most powerfull pen.
ok.. the most powerfull and superb pen is the novalaser 300mw endeavour.... but is is not so cheap :p

in my researc... i found that the best and quality laser could be an opto 150mw and a wicked E3.....but in the tech spec i read it is rated FROM 100 TO200. mhmhmhmmhm........???? 100 or 200? or with probabiliti just 150mw same as opto?

opto......cost 180$.........wl only 100 $. a big difference..
yes... i know the old reputation of WL.. it was the worste company some times ago.. but after artic i've heard that they tyotally changed theis way to sell laser. stating to sell lasers at a NORMAL PRICE....

i don't know about quaity. but SHOULD BE BETTER than rayfoss and olike.....than in my opinion are JUST seller like focalprice or dealextreme..but SPECIALIZED in lasers....and that test with a LPM them.
in fact the price difference between FP and DX.... is just because they TEST the quality of batches...... so you PAY for this insurance. easy.

BUT i don't know if opto in they "newwish like" pen use the sae diode that you can find in a DX pen.

please... tell me what is better to buy......... i know opto is a good seller.... but if i could pay 100$ instead 180$ for the same laser.... is better.
on youtube i've seen a video that compare E3 with the opto 150.. that they are similar... both about 150mw.

if you want to be sure to get a good laser buy the optotronics.
If you like to gamble and you dont need good beam quality and be happy with ~100-150mW, then buy the E3.

I would prefer the optotronics laser, the price/quality ratio seems better for this device.

go with opto for sure or try to get a nice pointermade by CNI. I love Nova's pens but they are expensive.

The wicked lasers E3 is a beast. I like it. dealing with their customer service is comparable to chopping onions non stop, but the E3 is a beautiful device.

I agree with rvrh3, the E3 is nice looking.
If only you could get one semi-quickly and not have it turn up sick.

An Optotronics pen will be at least 150mW if not more.
You'll also get it much sooner and you won't have to worry about customs.
Check out my sig below.

EDIT: Oops, scratch that part about customs, I just noticed where you live. But still, Opto isn't on any watch list either.

Listen good. Wicked has been sending alot of faulty units out. If you dont believe me... read there facebook. I would have recommended them in the past but currently NO!

I am currently waiting on my "Wicked Lasers Torch". I ordered March 16 and have got no replies or anything. Unless you want to wait months for your laser.... I suggest and ENCOURAGE opto. This is just my opinion. You may choose what you wish but opto is the way to go! :)

Thanks,
Jeff

If you are patient and don't mind waiting for a long time (maybe), then i would say the E3 would be better. I'm trying to decide if i want to buy from WL. Everyone says they take forever and customer service sucks. But there lasers are really good.

...The beam quality of my E3 is pretty much perfect. clean TEM00. It does suck that I cant focus the beam.
