I have had my viper for about 4 months now. I have treated it well, but recently ive noticed that the beam had an oval shape to it for about 3 seconds before it went to its normal circular shape. I put it through a magnifying glass and it looked like there is two dots and then after a few seconds they merge into one. Does anyone know what is going on??

Yes its mode hopping in reverse.. Which is somewhat normal in the high powered CNI pens. But normally it goes form one dot to two dots. Basically your laser is just warming up quickly. I assume after some continues use this goes away?

You can try adding or subtracting current via the potentiometer.

Dont try to turn the potentiometer, (its on the circuit that controls how much power goes to it in simple terms).. generaly mode hopping is just a defect in the crystasl but as long as it goes away after a few seconds it is fine, its just warming up.
...lazer... ;D ;D ;D
