Hi all,
I am fairly new to the laser scene, I purchased my first real laser just recently from DragonLasers. A 125mW. I was going to go with the 95mW but thought what the hell, its only money right?
I took delivery of the unit after waiting for about a week, which is pretty good to Sydney Australia.
But you know, I don't know if it is me. The laser I have been sent is not doing what the Dragonlaser website claims, it is not anything like the testimonials. I can't get it to light a match. It dosn't bust a balloon unless you stand on top of it and hold it very close and still for at least 15-20 seconds. It most certainly will not burn black anything yet alone electrical tape.
Can anybody give me some pointers.....
I emailed Dragonlasers with the issue and they told me that there is no way an underpowered laser would get out the door as they have strict screening and testing processes in place.
All I know is that it does not do what they tell me it would do via the website of theirs.
I've seen guys burst balloons as soon as they turn the laser on. Burst 5 balloons in a row. Light matches-near and far.
Mine just does not do any of these things.
Sure in the night it looks bright and is very much viewable, but so is the $50 ebay job I had before this one.
I've tried the e2 Lithium batteries, tried warming it up and then trying the tricks, all I got were laughs from friends because I got ripped off according to them.
You know what, thats how I feel!!
If anybody has some info that might help I would be greatly appreciative. Is there something I am missing? I know that they can be touchy things these higher powered lasers but if I am handling it wrong..........I am very close to cutting my losses with it..........
