Hello and welcome to the forum!:wave:

What do you mean when you say "normal"?
A 100.000 Ohm potentiometer will not let enough current through to your diode....

my driver is everything like this one
DIY: How To Make A Laser Diode Driver Circuit - Video
but i use 3362 trimmer for pot and i think it's 100k ohm
this is my guess
i use 9v battery so maybe it's too high and my driver cut it down
it's just my guess i am noob

thank you for reply

The Video you linked to says to use a 25 Ohm Pot...
Why are you using a 100K pot...

It is like a recipe asking to add 1 teaspoon of salt to the
soup recipe any you decide to add 10 pounds instead.
Instructions and part descriptions are there for reasons.

As was already pointed out... You need to spend some
time researching and reading on the Forum...

You can start by reading the FAQs and the Tutorials..

BTW... welcome to the Forum...

I have read it and thanks for the link

If I put in high Volt battery in to my driver, what is gonna happen?
is it gonna burn my laser?

and if i use 100k ohm instead of 25 it just gonna be hard to adjust right?

sorry for post on the wrong place
