I have the challenger II 3W 445NM and im not sure what's going on it isn't a dot whatsoever I have it fully focused and it really doesn't burn anything like the video I saw https://youtu.be/N-a4vJvLq1w basically at about 20ft it seems like the line itself is about 2inches long, will not burn...

I'm basically looking for the most I can get for ABOUT $100. Preferably 520nm. I'm really hoping someone may have a slightly used custom build exceeding 200mW I've seen others on here for about $100. The ones I've seen are blue though, I'm searching for the most powerful green laser I can get...
