May I very humbly suggest some formatting? I'm certain that lack of formatting will be the biggest deterrent for people to not read your post in its entirety.

That sounds like a fair call. I'm really nervous - not much of a naturally minded mechanic, and these are my first lasers. Might be a dumb question but - what should I use to heat it? What other things should I be concerned about? I don't know how to treat the lens. I'm guessing I have to...
That looks quite tricky. I've looked at the cap closely now - and measured it. It is "stopping" both from the outside ring hitting the lip on the host, and also because the inside is hitting the tip (if that makes sense). Wow, I need to upgrade my vocabulary! How to explain! lol
Well I was...
Hi Guys,
Not sure if this is the right place to put the post; please move it if there is somewhere else more appropriate.
I bought these two lasers. The Violet has trouble focusing at a distance more than 6 -8 metres. I've tried all extremes of the focus, even taking it off - so I see the...
Oh I see, fair enough. You are right; sorry getting a little excited over my first lasers. Will not happen again :) Thanks for letting me know.
Why cringe at that? What's funny? I must have missed some deep-forum humour here. :) lol do explain.
Thanks :)
Thanks!
Hi Daguin,
Thanks for your helpful and constructive criticism. It's really great to see such a positive attitude from a long term and upstanding member. I find it both encouraging, and helpful when thinking about my future in this hobby. I remember our last encounter when you promptly...
Hi Everyone,
Not sure where the best place to put this thread is - please feel free to move it if there is a better place. If anybody has any comments / suggestions please feel free. While I am a new member on this forum; I wanted to outline a couple of basics to everybody (both old and new...
Hey Guys!
Thanks for your responses - I see some confusion about the LPM. I do not own an LPM. Actually; in the above review I have mentioned that it was Susie at O-Like who tested them for me (yes I checked the EXIF data on the photos - they appear to be legitimate timestamps).
In regards...

Thanks guys,
Appreciate the feedback. Any suggestions / request are also appreciated. Looking for more cool ideas for photography & also the right settings, plus I want to know what to do about the focus...
Similar to all the screens we are staring at? Yellow light from an LCD is actually "fake yellow". It's not real yellow light - it is the combination of red & green light - that our brain interprets as yellow.
Interesting!
Hi Guys,
There were a few posts somewhere with people curious about the WIDE-BEAM laser that O-Like is selling. One person bought one and got it Dead On Arrival. I went for the dive and I came out with what I think is a BRILLIANT laser. Susie says it has a beam expander (although I haven't...
So, just for those who were on this thread helping me; thanks. The payment was successful, and after a great ordeal of effort I received my lasers here in Fiji.
You can read about it in the FULL REVIEW thread.
Electron - turns out everything was fine. Scary experience - but I did confirm before hand that these things are LEGAL in Fiji. Customs even opened my box and looked at the laser, she held it in her hand, and gave it back to me and let me go!
Here is a FULL REVIEW for everyone's enjoyment.
Hi Guys,
First review here. Will try to be efficient & descriptive. If anyone has any requests or comments I would really appreciate the feedback & would be happy to provide more information.
