I'm sure you all have gotten the gist of how good these are, but it's my first laser, so I wanna talk about it : )
took about 6 business days to come, pretty good considering they said 5-12
avg mw 111, max 114 (was actually kinda disappointed with this having seen some of the other readings around the forum... but can't complain)
Great at popping balloons, but not so hot with matches, tipped 'em black with a sharpie and still takes quite a while. (any reason why?)
beam is a beaut. It's super thin, but so crisp. just love shining it out onto a tree at night. unbelievable. I had some caps from an old lame laser pointer that made different shapes (smiley face...), and i held them on the tip of the X100. holy moly. With enough distance, you can see an awesome beam of the shape!
When I use it in my room, I found that there's an awesome way to super-power the beam. If I spray some deodorant just in one part of the room, after not long, the whole room seems to have the effect, somehow. That makes the beam extra bright, and it's really awesome.
So that's all I can think of now... Lemme know anything I left out of the review. Also, if there's any cool tricks you have for a first timer, I'd love to hear them. Those were just a couple that I have figured out, but I'm sure there are tons of others you've all got.
