Thanks fer the replies, men.
Nice. Can you tell us about each one? What is the BIG one?
Haha alright, I'll go ascending order of power. The yellow one is a 2-9mW CNI 593.5nm pen, bought through Laserglow some years ago. Really unstable, mode and power hops a lot, but beautiful colour and beautiful host. Also, extremely divergent. Bought way back when I didn't know much about technical specs of lasers, so I didnt know it was supposed to be that divergent. Just thought all yellow lasers had nasty beam specs. Beam is about 1.2mm at aperture, and has a divergence of about 3.14 mRad (hehe)
The lab laser is a 45mW 473. Again beautiful colour, extremely stable, great beam. Shame the camera doesn't do it justice, it makes it look far more indigo than it actually is. First laser I've bought through the B/S/T forum on here, off a guy named Misanthrop in England. Great guy. Sometimes I use it as mood lighting in my room, just beam it across the room onto a white sheet of paper and turn off the lights, and chill. Beam is at waist level, no worries
The small black handheld blue is a 450nm 65mW laser, bought from Lazerer, the good company that done shït the bed on us. Was my main man for a few years, tough as heck. Doesn't seem too indigo until you get used to 473 blue, then it turns purple on ya.
Red one's a 300mW 650 kit from Survival Laser, first kit I assembled. I accidentally coated crap on the lens by leaving it on with the little silicone cap on without knowing the laser was activated. Tried wiping off the gunk with an alcohol q-tip but ended up rubbing off the coating instead. Needless to say, it's not outputting max power. I need a new lens.
Finally, the biggun is a 300+mW 532nm Pl-E Pro from Jetlasers. Awesome laser. When I first got it I wasn't too bothered, but now it's been bugging me that the beam is quite off-centre and crooked. Talking to Gray now on what we can do about it. Also, have to update my review as I have some more accurate divergence figures, just over 2.0 mRad. Just today I put the beam through a pair of binoculars and made myself a makeshift beam expander! Works real well too, did some measurements and the divergence is 1.0 mRad out of that. Probs some major power loss, though.
Those are great photos, the beams are really bright, must have been lots of smoke. Is the oven a gas oven? They can sometimes take some practice compared to an electric oven, at least some of the older ones anyway. What did she burn in the oven? And was it the dark haired girl or the blond? Or is only one of them your sister?

Haha, there was a lot of smoke indeed. Get this, we even had all windows and doors open on a windy day! It's an old electric element oven I believe. She dun goofed cause she was used to the fancy convection oven at my dad's, where you could just stuff it full of food and wait. She stuffed 2 pizzas, a sheet of appetizers, and a full sheet of wings. The wings were on the bottom shelf, too close to the element. I only have one sister, she's the dark haired one. The blonde one in the photo is her friend, she's super funny and chill. She's a stoner, and for some reason she's convinced that I smoke weed, even though I've never even touched a cigarette or a joint :crackup: apparently I just exhibit stoner-like qualities.
