I just found some leftover money, and was hoping to purchase one of Jayrob's pocket mini lasers, but I saw his thread where he said he stopped selling lasers.. >:( (I honestly think they were the best  for sale on the forum) so I was wondering if anyone is willing to give up one of these babies...

According to this article, (http://www.macrumors.com/2008/08/22/silver-zinc-batteries-coming-in-2009/), Silver Zinc batteries are going to be the next-best-thing in the battery world, promising higher energy density than Lithium-Ion batteries. I wonder how these would run in lasers :o EDIT...

Hi guys, I just opened up the aperture of my X100, and I noticed a crack on the lens. It doesn't seem to interfere with the beam of the laser, even though it is pretty close, but it is still in TEM00, and I wanted to make sure it doesn't weaken the laser's power. Does anyone think it somehow will?

I was wondering if there would ever be indigo lasers, which falls between blue and violet on the visible light spectrum. I know it would probably look similar to blue and blu-ray lasers, but it would be kinda cool nonetheless.

Last night, I was pointing my X100 at a CD(The part which the computer reads the disk: AKA shiny part) and I noticed VERY cool effects made from the reflection! At some spots on the CD, it makes an effect which looks like many rings, like on Saturn, with dots in between the rings. If you point...

Hey guys, I wasn't sure if I should have posted this in the Tutorial section or here, but anyways... I wanted to know how long it took you guys to start building DIY lasers since you got into the laser hobby. I really want to make my own lasers, but even with all these tutorials, I still have a...

Hey guys, I am about to purchase my second laser, and I'm stuck between two choices. I already have a Nova X100, and I don't know if I should buy the DX 200mW Red laser w/ goggles, or a 80-90mW Blu-ray from IgorT. Which would you guys prefer?

Does anyone know if the DX laser shades that protect you from red lasers are reliable? I love the way it looks :P, but since it is from DX, I'm not sure how good the quality would be. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12765

Hey LPF people, I have a question about the little lenses you guys put onto toothpaste caps , using the little optics from disposable cameras and <1mW red laser pointers. How do you guys attach the lens to the cap? I don't think using super glue would be a good idea, because of the fumes it...

Hey guys, I am trying to get the referral code or link or whatever it is from my NOVA account, so that I could get lightyear points from my friend's purchase, but I'm not sure where to find it. Does anyone know how to get it? Thanks!

Hi guys, I found some rechargeable batteries from DX, and unfortunately I cannot post a link for it. They just say "Rechargeable Batteries AAA" and are green. LOL on the picture, it says AA NiMH 2200 mAh 1.2Volts on them. Are these reliable for a NOVA x75? If not, please post some rechargeables...

Hi guys, I am looking forward to purchasing a DX True 30mw and 50mw laser, possibly even a 100mw, and I am a little worried about the Ir that leaks through. I'm pretty new to lasers, and I want to know if my Wicked Laser 532nm goggles will protect me from the IR as well. Could you guys give me...

Hi guys, I received my X75 a few days ago, and it hasn't really surprised me with anything outstanding. It is my first laser, and after reading many reviews about them on this site, people say theirs averages about 95mw or more in output. When mine came, it said it averaged 78mw and maxed at 83...

Hi guys, I am going to purchase a NOVA green laser X75, and I want to know what batteries I should get for it. I don't know the voltage, brand, or size that is recommended for this laser. Please help! Thanks. :D

HI guys, I was looking at the Dragonlaser Viper series 75Mw and the NOVA laser x75 greenie, and I want to know which one would be a better bang for my buck. First off, I want to make sure that if I buy the Dragonlaser, that it does have an Ir filter. I also want to know which laser comes with a...

HI, I am new to green lasers, and I want to know a little about this one. It says it does not have an infrared filter, and I am a little confused as to what protection I need. This laser needs a 532nm safety goggle, but I don't know if it will protect me from the Infrared. If you guys can help...
