The word "great" Doesn't come into play when we are talking about Wicked Lasers. Sorry.

My friend, you will need to read more before post. Who say great in last two post? nobody said great for WL:thinking: the word great is in a link and talking about the Glenn collection. ;)

Pretty much any laser from DragonLaser is most likely going to be a good one.
However I would recommend THIS LASER
It's top notch and it looks good :)

EDIT: I thought I read dragonlasers.... I failed :banghead:

Depending how much you use it, you may want a more powerful one later on
in which case I suggest lazerer or O-like for a decent 50mW or 100mW laser that is still inexpensive

Remember to always wear safety glasses when using a laser over 5mw!!

I bought a core, laser glow is 39 + shipping about 70-90, ( I live in Auckland) and core is free shipping. I know core is bad but some ppl said WL is bad but it is the only laser that under 50 plus shipping. Thanks for replying!

The core is one of the best quality <5mW greens as well as one of the cheapest.

I agree with you my friend; the core is one of the best quality vs. value 532nm 5mW executive laser.

iEven at such a low watt output, I'd make sure it has an IR filter to be completely safe.

Ill second on the core. Its the only thing WL has had going for them, really. I had one for a year and a half until i dropped it and muffed up the crystal alignment. I believe the Cores are actually true 5mW greenies. Or roughly 5mW ±3-5mW.

I might blind my self with cheap overspec 5mw greenie. I need it to be exactly 5mw -+ 1mw or 2mw so it won't cause permant damage
