Sorry, I didn't mean to cause any issues here, just a fellow enthusiast, saw this on the front page and took interest since I've dealt with eBay lasers a lot before. I've had some posts before that didn't get answered for months, it's not a massively sized hobby.
There's some decent ones on there for $10-20, they will burn if focused on dark objects and it teaches you laser safety if you ever decide to get something more powerful, just pick a seller with good feedback and preferably inside your country (the USA I'm guessing) and you'll be ok!! If it does...
Ahhh ok I see what you mean now, usually my vape and a few hits later is enough to do the trick and make the beam 3-4x more visible, even a 100mw 405nm beam appears a lot more visible with some sort of smoke/fog in a dark room.
Ohhh, I know... It looks incredible in rain as well, you can see the individual rain drops going through the beam for hundreds of feet, just need to keep the laser away from getting wet, usually I just use my window without a screen and shine it from the inside of my room so no elements get onto...
Hey!! Yeah, the laser came on in and it is indeed very beautiful.
There is comparison of the 2 next to each other at night I posted over in General (i can't post links yet, I believe you can see my postings on my profile to find it lol) :) very happy with this purchase and will definitely...
Not entirely sure the best forum sub to post this in but I wanted to share with you guys since there isn't a whole lot of pics comparing 1w greens to blues! (Also the beams aren't crooked, that's just awkward handling with 1 hand that has them crossover in the sky like that lol)
Thank you so much for your input and timely responses! I appreciate it so much :) this community and hobby feels so small sometimes, I'll let you know how the laser is and maybe review it soon next to my thor h2(same host different diode) 3000mw 445nm.
Wow thank you so much for the picture! so nice to see :)
I ordered the laser for $309.99 from eBay, cnilasers messaged me back confirming it is 520nm 1W, do you think it is truly a 1000mw diode? I saw laserpointerstore selling the same one as 520nm 1000mw for $289.99 and I trust them with...
Yeah true haha, i LOVE lasers and have already spent hundreds on stuff like thor h2, thor ultra, thor m2, pocket lpm, etc, how much brighter do you think that 1w green will be over my 3w blue?

(cant post links yet, so that is the exact title from sky_lasers, I believe CNILasers sells the same thing on eBay as well)
I messaged the seller, he says it's a 1W green 520nm diode, I'm wondering how much...
