Received my Nova X-105

[BurtGummer]

Well first off, Nova has awesome service, and really does care about their customers. I placed my order Sunday night, and it was shipped Monday(TNT Shipping). Then at noon today, it arrived! In fact, I had requested the tracking number, and by the time I got a tracking number it was already at my door.

I opened it up, read through the papers, and found that it is rated at 118.2mw Average, 127.3mw Peak. Awesome! So I popped some batteries in and found some matches and balloons. This thing lit the match instantly from about a foot away and popped a red balloon instantly about 18 inches away without any use of a sharpie for the match or balloon. Thats something that the WL fusion I had could not do.

Along with the laser I also had ordered 2 diffraction gratings and the lens assembly, and of course some glasses. Not sure what I can say about them yet, because I haven't seen this laser at night yet!

I'll be sure to get some pictures and maybe some videos posted if I can find the camera!

I'm currently using duracells, but I did buy some E2 lithiums. I tried them last night, but didn't see a visual difference.

yeah you won't see a visual difference, but power should be abit higher! Nova does it once again! Have fun with your laser!

The power is the same no matter which battery chemistry is used in the X105. I measured the power of mine with alkaline, lithium, and rechargeable batteries and there was no difference.

I posted graphs in this thread:
