It always seems fishy to me when someone uses a "Hotmail" account. That's the basic throw away email account most scammers use, though certainly not limited to just hotmail it does seem to be the most common.

I only use Paypal as a buyer, I don't think I would ever trust them as a seller. Too many shady things going on between ebay and paypal for me to ever trust either of those. I won't even buy off ebay anymore cause you almost never get what is actually advertised. I remember back in the day when...

This issue looks like it's been beat to death at this point but let me give you a little info... 1. The Windows license is tied to your MachineID, this ID is generated based on the hardware inside your computer. So when you make any significant changes to your hardware such as changing out your...

There has been at least one report of a battery that exploded. So yours is just another confirmation that you should use these stock batteries with care (or possibly not use them at all lol).

It sounds like those actually ARE OEM Laser System goggles. Count yourself lucky, I'm guessing you got those by accident as I highly doubt Wicked Lasers is selling the same goggles at 1/3 the price. In regards to the laser power with the WL shades, it's not that it doesn't block any light, even...

Dragon Lasers made a thread here letting everyone know that they took down the 1W Spartan due to the current backorder. They said they will be putting it back up as soon as they catch up on their orders (expected to be within 2 weeks time) but that they did not want to keep taking orders for the...

Those are the same ones I ordered. They work for most of the common ranges and provide great protection. They are rated at OD7, and appear to actually meet that rating unlike the WL goggles which are rated at OD5 and don't appear to come anywhere near that actual rating. They are clearly more...

While I haven't found the one with actual measurements yet, here is a good comparison that includes the WL goggles just so you can see how much of a failure they are... http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/saftey-goggles-comparison-54927.html Also please note that in the image showing the WL...

I'm clearly going to have to try and track down the thread with the measurements, but the Wicked Lasers "OD5" goggles were actually letting through roughly 10% (ie 100mw) of power with the Arctic. I agree if all you were getting was roughly 10mw, while not ideal it most likely wouldn't be...

I believe that is approximately what the measured tests showed as well. Not sure where the link is now, but read the results of a measured test which showed roughly 10% (was actually over 10%) get through their goggles. Measured test measured the S3 at approximately 960mw as I recall (one of...

I ended up cancelling my order. I ordered on June 22nd and after all the lies, there was just no way I could possibly rely on them to actually meet their next shipping date by the end of September. They haven't been accurate on ANYTHING when it comes to the Arctic, so frankly I didn't feel all...

Having an idea and having the means to fullfill that idea are not the same. Building hosts for the lasers was a great idea, but not everyone can do that. Obviously Jayrob was able to fill that role, but I am sure he was not the first too look at a flashlight and say "hey, that would make a cool...

Given the latest news on the Arctics I went ahead and finally cancelled my order. So now I'm looking at building a few lasers. I happened upon many of Jayrobs kits, and I found several that I liked and I think will fit the bill for what I'm after. My problem comes from basically being a laser...

It is my understanding that they DO NOT, but perhaps the original poster can correct me if I'm wrong. I did inquire about the Expander for the new 1w Spartan lasers just a day or two ago and was told that while they did not have any in stock at the moment that they expcted to have some in a few...

I'm New here, and as I understand it you are at least temp banned for the moment, but just felt like chiming in here. The very reason I joined this forum is BECAUSE of the unbiased 3rd party reviews that are found all over these forums, that include actual test data so you can see for yourself...

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to pop in and say hello and give a brief introduction. If you can't tell by my name I got involved in the Arctic debacle. I joined LPF because this is where I have generally found the most helpful information regardless of wether I end up with the arctic or if I...
