Im looking to buy a yellow laser as my next laser, anyone have any suggestions. I like the vega from laserglow, but idk if i can spend 700 dollars.... something under 400? Do yellows get that low yet? The DL one is 400, but that still might be too much. Anyone got a used one that needs to be taken out of their possession?
 





Thanks dude. For anyone who cares, he reminded me that techlasers' "xerex" appears to be the cheapest on the market at this moment. I wouldnt buy anything high powered from techlasers, but since this is only 2mw, and directly from CNI, id take my chances with it. Maybe Ill ask CNI if i can get it even cheaper than this. 250 is my goal, maybe i can get something even cheaper from them ;D

That seems like a pretty significant security problem :o I am sure a human is reviewing the orders but still dangerous to have.[/quote]


;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ahghhghhhhh. What if the orders are packaged by one guy, and then the payments is accepted by another, and he thinks its just some random payment and he wont ask the boss, and itll be on its way to me by then :o :o :o 30 dollar shipped yellow right there.

i doubt it though. theyll probably catch that mistake easily.
 
Anyway, unless you're looking for a laser to just point around, like any old <5mW, you seriously need to be concidering where you put your money. Yellow ain't exactly the cheapest colour on the market so don't expect much for your money.

Imo at the very least, you should be looking at somewhere like DL, who actually took the time to revise and "improve" their product. Can't comment on the Rigel although I do know Laserglow are one of the very best copmpanies in the market. From what I've learned around here, yellow is such an unstable wavelength to be spending on somewhere like techlasers, who for one have probably the worst customer services that at least I've heard of. I think with these kinds of things money really does buy you quality and with such instability a reliable company with good customer service, is imo, a must.

DL didn't do anything to improve their yellow. They're a distributor for the 593nm CNI pen just like Laserglow. :-?

I have a yellow laser for simply pointing, and I love it for that reason and it's color. However, it is extremely unstable. On very, very rare occasions it spikes almost to 5mw green brightness, but it never lasts. When it's in TEM01 it's a good bit brighter than my 635nm pointer but has poor divergence; and when it's TEM00 it's roughly as bright as my 635nm pointer, but has phenomonal divergence. I haven't figured out yet what causes it to change, if anything.

It's variability is quite astounding.
 
I would watch out if you are going to buy from TL, yellow lasers are horribly unstable and a company like LG will filter out the really bad ones. Ask Sawt about his unstable yellow experience. ;D
 
yeah i know about sawts laser. it switches over to green every once in a while ;D what a joke. still cool though, youre shining your yellow laser and it flickers to green, then back to yellow.

Mined doesnt' do this at all. I'm on my third set of batteries too.
 
About the payment URL:

I personally review all orders before they are passed to Shipping and I will not look kindly upon abuse of the payment URL system. The payment URL is something that we provide to customers to make the process of submitting custom payments more streamlined and easy to use. Obviously, since this is a manually generated URL used to put an item in your cart, there is a loophole that allows you to change the product description and pricing but don't assume that we aren't paying attention! If this system is abused we may have to stop sending payment URLs via email which will only make things more difficult for everybody.

Thank you to whomever removed the full URL from this thread.

DL revised "their" product range by getting rid of the 5mW model and stuck to lower powered, more stable models. If that's not a case of taking something that's wrong and attempting to turn it into something better, I don't know what is...
