Hi everyone. I received my 200mw old style "dilda" yesterday from o-like. It came with a charger and batteries. The order took about 2 days to ship and 8 days to get here. Very fast shipping and quick friendly confirmation from Susie.
I charged the batteries until green and tested it out. The first thing I noticed was that the focusing lens was very loose. I'm not sure if this is common, but just holding it will bring the beam out of focus as will the slightest jostle. Also, the laser became very hot within 30 seconds. Again, im not sure if this is normal or what.
I tried to burn through the black lettering on a tostitos bag and it seemed to take more time than my 50mw ledshoppe green, also it would not burn all the way through, just kind of took the coloring off, leaving the clear plastic underneath intact, and it was hard to do as it became unfocused very easily. Also, I tried several different types of matches, I even sharpied a match, let it dry, and let the dilda shine on it focused for over a minute, about an inch away while on a stable surface. While there was a little warmth on the match. It was unable to ignite. I also let it shine on a dark colored cigarette for a decent amount of time with no results.
I am thinking there is something wrong with my dilda. From the videos and reviews I have seen, people seem to be able to burn much easier and faster. Has anyone had similar experiences. I have heard that Susie is great with dealing with these problems, which is why I bought it from her and I really want to get the 100mw 5 head green laser that just went up on the site, but just wanted to see if anyone else has had similar "dilda" problems. Also, what does she usually do for exchanges, will I have to pay shipping, will she send a box? TIA, any help is appreciated.

. Cigarette lit within seconds and it burns through cd cases rather easily putting out smoke. Thanks.
