I hadn't tried that particular phrasing; I'd had "Refund order XXXXX" in the subject field. I've sent off an email with that subject now, thanks for digging that up for me. I'll call my bank in the morning and find out about their charge-back policy and give WL a few days to get back to me...

I've just trawled through my statements online; I paid for the laser on July 30. I first asked for a refund on August 13, and again on both August 15 and 19. I also requested a refund via the "live chat" feature of WL's website several times; I don't have dates for those attempts. Is it...

Visa debit card. EDIT: Actually I asked for a refund the very day before I was sent an email announcing the G2 was ready to begin shipping. I'd be happy to just get a G2 instead of a refund, though I certainly won't do business with Wicked again. Has anyone been receiving their G2s at all?

I ordered the Arctic ages ago and just over a month ago asked Wicked Lasers (and repeated the request several times and via several channels) for a refund, but have been totally ignored; not even a refusal, just totally blanked. Do I have any kind of recourse? Has anyone else had this...

My sister is looking into a few companies that're claiming to use lasers to (a) help stop smoking and (b) lose weight. Can anyone verify the validity of these, or is it just more homeopathic quackery? I tend not to believe anecdotal evidence; for me "a friend of a cousin who had it said it...

I was with you until the final paragraph. Petty vengeance IS the act of a troll. You sign up to an elitist forum with a cute little hierarchy and get banned, why not leave them to it? Aware of the off-topic-ness, but I have no opinion on the matter, not yet being a laser or torch person and...

I think I'd risk it - living my entire life in borderline poverty while I pay back an impossible debt would suck more than a nice calm death of hypothermia. (edit - forgot in this hypothetical I have a laser, so warmth is the least of my concerns. Make it dehydration!)

Rather bad idea - how many lost people can afford to pay the energy company compensation for the losses they'd take thanks to some idiot sabotaging their infrastructure? On-topic, the guys on Lost could've used a laser to blind the pilot and bring down a DHARMA food-dropping helicopter and use...

There're always neds to spare. I've heard of them deliberately planning their crimes to take place on soccer days because they reason that the police will be busy dealing with the traffic and game...

@ ^ isn't "Zanth" "Xanth", and isn't it by Piers Anthony? Also, :twak:, gtfo with the Sword of Truth thing. That series is for mocking, not enjoying!

I think this rule should be removed because I think soccer should be removed. Bloody annoying game that causes traffic jams, riots, costs the country money that could be better spent elsewhere and, especially here in Glasgow, causes quite serious violence even amongst individuals. Here in the...

Just out of idle curiosity, could a powerful laser (as in, modern pointer/handheld powerful) blind a shark underwater?

A note to those who enjoy Stephen King; Dean Koontz is like his plagiarising bastard child. After you've read a few his books get kind of same-y (with the same author-insert protagonist and lots of rants about Koontz' moral and political opinions) but while they last, they're pretty decent...

Stuff I think you may enjoy: "Mistborn" trilogy, by Brandon Sanderson "The Black Magician" trilogy, by Trudi Canavan "Age of the Five" trilogy, by Trudi Canavan (not related to the above trilogy) "Bartimaeus trilogy", by Jonathan Stroud (I only recommend the first two) "Abhorsen" trilogy, by...

Actually, green was my first choice for color before I was aware there was any difference other than human perception of the colors. I didn't want the Arctic because it's blue, I wanted it because it has a powerful clear beam. If you guys are saying a weaker green one has a more...

My attraction to the Arctic is the clarity of the beam for such a great price - I suppose even if I did have its power reduced, it would still be cheaper than buying a 500w new, but what would be the point? My purpose was originally to ascertain if I could have the best of both worlds; a laser...

Thanks for your advice, Niko, I'll certainly look into lesser lasers before I do anything with the Arctic. Besides which, I just plain like green laser beams. Blue isn't a favourite color, and red lasers are so 1984, so I'll need a green anyway. Naturally, goggles are a priority - my eyesight...

Thanks for the link, Prototype. One question though, are the lenses from that site compatible/comfortable sitting over regular spectacles?
