Ordered this:

Sanwu (Silver Series)

Wavelength and output: 445nm 3000mw

Driver mode: multi mode

Host version: Smooth

Lens option: G2



Man, I apologize Garoq, I just saw your reply.


I really hate this smiley but: :drool:

You won't be disappointed with that! Those smooth finish hosts look great IMO - I like minimalist designs.

Hopefully the claim works out too!

You will definitely see a big difference in quality and output. That previous lasers, I've seen variations on it sold for $60-$120 or so, and they were usually around 1W, but often even below that. They are also just pretty crappy inside, I remember seeing one where thermal paste was just literally slathered over EVERYTHING inside.

I'm actually kind of excited!! It'll be a while before it gets here though, I did choose expedited shipping. Now I have to find 2 pair of glasses.

Can't go wrong with Eagle Pair from Survival that I linked earlier - not the cheapest but they are known to be good, it's worth it when it comes to protecting your sight.

As far as certified laser glasses go they are actually pretty cheap anyway... Certified glasses from Thorlabs or such can be >$200.

That's always good to hear! :)

I just went ahead and escalated it to a claim, he's impossible and now accusing me of being a liar and I will have the authorities on my tail for this. I simply told him at first that the laser was not what I was expecting and the glasses were junk. I did not want to call this person a liar, cheat etc. I honestly thought it'd be a simple return. No big deal, live and learn.

Lots of online sellers for various things that behave like that these days unfortunately. I guess the internet and cheap Chinese goods has made it easy for any schmuck to open up a "business". PayPal usually favours the buyer anyway. :wave:

He has told me that I will lose and PayPal always sides with him. First of all, how many times has he been through this and secondly, I don't believe that for a second with an unused, new in box, simple return. Who knows...I've been working 3am to 3pm for the last several days so I think I just need a nap. It's not like I'm trying to keep it and send him a brick back or something, just a simple return that is generally accepted by any retailer in the country.

He's bsing you like he does to everyone else. People like this guy are professional bs artists. This is an open and shut case of scamming. If you return the item, then paypal should refund you.

I really think you are right. He told me "do you know who I am? Look me up on Facebook" he has guns and carries a gun. You can see it in one of his videos. Not sure what he meant by that, hope he doesn't shoot at me. I'm too young to die, I have kids, I have things I'd still like to do, plus I'm waiting on a laser from overseas :)

He is a scam artist, but I don't think he is violent. If the paypal claim fails it may be possible to threaten him with copyright law.
