Ha, New Guy...

Hey everybody, I joined LPF after reading through a bunch of interesting threads and becoming very interested in this hobby. Unfortunately I didn't find you guys sooner because I fell into the "Wicked" trap. I ordered a 200mw S1 Lunar back in August 2010 and just got my Green E3 last week. I know right wrong color... After reading up on other more reputable companies and their lasers I recently ordered the 400mw 405nm from O-Like. I also ordered their white OD+4 safety glasses for use with the 405nm.

I am new and very interested.

Looking forward to acquiring tools and parts for my first build!

Heh, wow, so Wicked just sent you a totally different laser?..

Fun... Did you try to talk to them about that?

 

[jnhowett]

Yes a totaly different one...

I have had nearly no help from customer service and I didn't want to bother with sending it back or anything like that. Plus I did get a free tripod of pretty good quality.

I am getting the o-like 405nm to make up for the 405 I should have gotten from wicked. This laser should be more useful anyway being focusable and water resistant. Not to mention twice the power.

Wow...

Wicked Lasers will never stop suprising me with their lack of quality control and their incorrect Info on orders. At least you got a free tripod as you said!

And Welcome to LPF!!! Have fun and be safety conscious.
