Huh? The US military's used greenies in Iraq for years, especially at checkpoints. A cop I know who went for two (it could be three--I'm not sure) tours in Iraq as an Army reservist told me that if a suspicious vehicle was spotted approaching their checkpoint or convoy, they'd fire up a greenie...

I've heard about how not a lot of people bought this thing, so I will write a review in hopes of helping anyone solve their dilemma. I've created a topic about it in the Green Lasers section before, but this is an actual full-length review. I've purchased the X-Series X175 from NOVAlasers in...

Bad news, folks. It looks like the diode inside my X175 has misaligned itself. I have no idea how, as this thing hasn't been dropped or experienced shocks, but the beam itself is off-center, and the front cap is slightly obscuring the beam, which is causing distortions. I can clearly see the...

Thanks for posting this, Amnizu. About the sensor and oil matter, I wonder if Kenom can include some sort of lid to cover the sensor while the machine isn't in use...

Thanks a bunch. I can't really give you an accurate comment on divergence because, you know, my eyes don't come with 10x zoom standard. :P But, in my opinion, (you can take it with a grain of salt) the divergence appears to be tiny. I haven't seen the beam spread out for quite a distance...

The burning process is instantaneous. It's just the part where I want to cut the tape off cleanly that takes a bit. I'll post some more pictures up soon. Thanks. And good luck on getting the RPL. Anyways, I'm getting a perfect TEM00 right now. The beam itself is visible even with sunlight...

A case of dirty optics, most likely the lens. Unscrew the cap, use a dust blower (the fat, rubber things that you use to clean the camera lens) to remove any dust and gently wipe the lens with clean, cotton cloth. Don't apply too much pressure, as it will remove whatever protective coating that...

Sorry to ask again, but are they accurate? I mean, I just blew through about $500, and I really don't want to spend more than I have to. :-/ That's pretty damned stable. Hmm... The instructions say 100-to-10 for the cycle, but I will keep that in mind. I will also grab some Energizer lithium...

Thanks for letting me know, But are they accurate, and can they handle high output power? Yeah. It's really something when even the cops ask where and how much I have gotten it for. Heh...

The output power are from the sticker that came with stuck to the case. I haven't done any personal testing with a power meter yet, so I'm willing to bet this sucker can actually go higher than what it says on the sticker. Heh. I figured out why the tape was cutting so slow. Apparently, I...

I ordered my X175 and had it shipped over TNT. Good thing, too, because TNT shipping is free for any purchases over $500. Anyways, I ordered the thing on Friday evening. NOVAlasers sent the package out on Tuesday, and the package got to my doorstep on Thursday afternoon. Funny thing, though...

I'm getting a perfect TEM00 for now. I can also see the beam during daylight. I even asked my friend if he could see the beam, and his answer was, "Hell yeah, I can see the beam," and immediately proceeded to ask me where I've gotten it from. http : // enomosiki . zftp . com / misc / laser /...

And, Holy Hell, that $505 investment was so damned worth it. It doesn't even begin to compare to the 125mW Spymodex one that I have. I've been cutting through electrical tapes and stinging myself on the skin (with instant results, unlike the Spymodex which took a while for it to begin tingling...

Re: Reccomend me a pocket sized powerfull green la Save that money for NOVAlasers. I just received my X175 and this thing can burn through just about everything that you throw at it. If you want an interim solution to impress your friends for a while, go with a cheapo model from DX, but save...

Ah. Thanks.
