200mw green laser which should i take ?

The focalprice ones... even if they are ~150mw its still a good price!
Anyone bought from Boblaser ?? The laser looks pretty good and well build ! The customer service is also great, but IDK if the lasers are underpowered....
 





 
They are shipped from China? Normally,it may meet custome problem when you imported from other countries.
 
He's obviously not listening. I'm tired of these please help me pick threads. Especially when they don't even listen. Just let him buy his crappy focalprice laser, and let this thread die.
 
Yeah, pretty much. The problem is people want nice lasers for next to nothing. Thats not possible, you get what you pay for.
There are alot of threads on these companies and lasers including reviews and power tests, and a few stickys on what to get from where. This forum already has all the info, it just has to be looked for.

Amen. They want advice from people who know what they are talking about, but they are to stupid to take it.
 
Any of the cheap companies like boblaser or yotang, you are playing the lottery. These lasers will be bottom end and untested. You might get a good one, but you are more likely to get one that modehops, has bad divergence, has a large IR component to its' output, is unstable, and rapidly falls of in power. Buttons break quickly and contacts break off or tarnish.

As I said, you might get lucky, after all some people do win the lottery ... Can you afford to do the equivalent of burning your money in the barbecue? It is unlikely that you will be able to return the laser, or get it repaired. I would suggest extensive reading of our reviews and companies sections before flushing your money down the toilet or burning your money ... I have had bad luck with these cheap low end lasers. Stick to recommended suppliers or risk 100% loss of your money. Buy a laser from our B/S/T section instead.

EDIT : You need to budget for protective eyewear as well. These lasers are not toys and can damage or blind your eyes, or the eyes of a friend with you. Would you use an arc welder without a welding mask, no ... Goggles are necessary for high power lasers when burning or doing other close range tasks, or anything with a risk of reflection.

Someone needs to make a thread for all of these stupid kids asking which laser to get, either that or everyone needs to quit responding to these kinds of threads.

So DON'T SPAM, I agree completely :D
 
Even if we did make a thread most of them wouldnt bother to look, but if we did, then when anyone posts about it, just post back see here: then post a link to it!
It would have to be made a sticky though, in order to work, but there is already a green laser buying guide.
 
Alright, then from now on when a noob comes here asking "which laser" just post a link to the guide to buying a green laser thread, and say nothing else. Sounds good!
 
OK...
I decided to wait a bit untill i have the money to buy a Rayfoss 1
But there is also the risk that they are underpowered, right ??
Is Feona giving coupons ?

Alot of people here recomend rayfoss, however if you look into some of the threads on the green lasers forum page, there seems to be ALOT of rayfoss fails showing up. Some arrive broken, some break after getting them, and others are significantly underspec. Not to mention limited communication, which could be due to the holiday, but still, considering all of this, perhaps you should look into o-like.com instead...
