Newbie`s choice at under 150$?

[Oxymorphone]

Hi, guys!

This is one great forum!

I`ve wanted to have a laser, since I first saw cheap chinese laser pointers around, dunno maybe 12-15 years ago?))

So, what choices have I got? I want to spend 150$ and I want it to burn matches, balloons, etc.

The problem is there are so many pointers it`s confusing. And I cant buy at DX cause they accept only PayPal which is totally unacceptable for me. So since what I`ve learned already I`m left with Nova here?

Nova - X75 Compact Portable Laser (149$)? (Of course I add 23$ for optics)

So basically, what is THE BEST choice for 150$?

Thanks!

if you want burning power i would say go for red! best bang for the buck!

Make sure to take lots of beam pics!!!

Just kidding.

Welcome to the forum.

Edit: I love Photoshop

The optics are worthless! Get a keyswitmch instead or true30mw+dilda

Dildas are good burners, and if you want a real 200mW of power, use 3.6Vs.

Won't using 3.6v's damage something in your laser?

X-75 sounds good to me especially for a first time buy...
