150mW O-like "Cute" or 130mW WL E2 Evolution

I ordered the Ledshoppe 20mW keychain laser plus 2 LED flash lights, i actually just got my package today. the 2 lights are better than i expected, absolutely awesome!! The laser on the other hand... DOA! Doesn't work.... I just emailed them explaining I received a broken laser, I'll see what they say.

I just received an email back from O-like about their 150mw cute green:

"order@o-like.com" <order@o-like.com>
To: me

Yes,sir,we will measure its outpower when we ship it,and the average
output is more than 130mw,and its divergence is 1.5mrad or so

Thats seems to be exactly the same divergence the review for the 100mw cute green said.

You said your confidence in O-like is shaken since they didn't reply to your 2 emails, but what about the post above? But i do agree, i was a little shaken by the 100mW that died, part of the reason i tried to cancel after i placed it to get the WL E2 instead, but too late. O-like sent me email saying it was shipped today, if you hold off on buying something i'll let you know how mine is when i get it. Hopefully better than the LEDShoppe i received today....
 
I hope you get a nice laser from O-like. The ledshoppe 50mw will be half the power of a 130mw laser, but at a fifth of the price. For my first foray into "serious" laser field I am quite excited.
 
I was referring more to the DOA part of the LEDShoppe laser i got today, hoping that my O-like works! lol

LEDShoppe has good customer service. I got an underspec laser and emailed them about it. They said to send it back for a replacement and they would refund the shipping charges for the underspec laser.
 
My laser is at my house.I ordered it Sunday night, and it arrived today(Wednesday).I am out of town, so I have to wait until I go home Friday night to test it.
Man, I am impressed by the speed of the shipment of my Evo 100mw.

I will let you know how it works!

Yeah please give us your impressions of it when you have the chance. I'm looking to buy one of these but would like to see more opinions. Thanks.

That's good to hear! I haven't heard back from them yet but we'll see how it goes.

In other news, i just bought a LaserBee II that measures from 3mW to 3.2W w/ thermopile so works in all wavelengths. Now I'll be able to let you guys know the actual power output of the O-like.

That is very cool...no subjective power tests for you!!

I am sure you will enjoy using your new meter.It opens up all sorts of possibilities like % of IR in unfiltered greens etc.
I can't wait to test my new toy!

I love my 40mw Evo Pro.It has a very small beam and is very stable.An epic laser....if the 100mw is only more powerful than my 40 but otherwise identical, I will be very happy indeed.I really like the Evo Pro.

How come you only got the 100mW instead of the 130mW version? I am a little jealous of your new toy since after the fact it was the one I decided i wanted and you already got it! that's amazingly fast! Mine just shipped yesterday!

With my new power meter it would be awesome to get Evo also to be able to truly compare the two. One reason I guess it is good i got the O-Like is that no one has done a real review of the 150mW Cute laser and I still have 2 other WL coming, the 200mW S1 Sonar and a G2 Arctic. If i did get the Evo then all my high powered lasers would be Wicked.

I figured 100mw would be enough...and it is also less expensive!If it works as well as I hope I should be set for awhile.Even at the new lower price, it is an expensive item for me.
 
@cistercian;

I love your location: You are the first micro person I have ever met. It must be really cool to be smaller then a molecule :evil:
 
Hey!

I ordered a 130mW Evolution Pro and let me tell you this thing is a BEAST. I have heard that those "O-Like Cute 150mW" burn out very quickly. With the Evolution Pro, my laser outputs just about 175-180 with fresh Lithium Batteries. This thing cuts 2 layers of black tape in seconds. If you are going to spend a decent amount on a laser, I would opt for the Wicked because it is quality. However, Suzie is not a great customer service rep for O-Like. I emailed her about getting a 150mW "Cute" laser, but she NEVER responded. :/.

Take a look at my Evolution Pro IN ACTION. Ill give you more videos if you would like. Match's are lit with ease!

where did you hear about the O-like's burning out quickly? Besides what people have commented on this thread i have found very little on that exact laser. I am almost thinking about buying them both! The Evo really does seem like a great laser.
 
Hey!

This is one of those reviews on a lower power model. The host is very small. His burned out very quickly. http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/100mw-o-like-green-cute-laser-w-pics-53606.html

Anyways, do not buy both. If you are willing to shell out some money. I would put it with Wicked Lasers because of the quality. You could buy a 130mW Evolution, and then a 200mW Sonar Burner.

Here's more footage on the 130mW (which generally are overspec to 170+). Mine is running 175mW.
