Greetings LPF!
Welcome to my first review! Today I will be reviewing the Ti-B 532nm from Jetlasers.
Now this is the 2nd one I have had my hands on, unfortunately I had to send the first one back due to a slight defect in the lens cavity.
Unfortunately doing a replacement didn't seem to help much, because it seems to still have these wild flares and distortions which I will show in some pictures later on in the review.
(And no it is not an artifact in the camera lens, I can see them with a naked eye as well)
This is what I purchased!
1. Ti-B laser 150mw
1. Charger
1. Battery / However Hak threw in another for free! (Thanks again for that)

The laser body itself is absolutely stunning, it has a nice weight to it enough to give it a true professional feel.

However I've heard a few "complaints" in regards to the sharpness of the crown/focusing ring of the Ti-B, and to that I say bollocks!
I personally can say its perfect, its got the perfect semi-sharpness to give the user a slight warning to not touch near there as well as staying classy!

Now for operation, at first I believed it was a negative "as I am sure many would be". To operate the laser its a slight twist of the back battery cap shown below.
This slight twist worried me, for fear it might turn on if placed in a pocket, so be wise and never store it with a battery in it. (Problem Solved!)
Normally tho I've got my laser stored in a nice foamed and locked case just in case any curious folk find it and try reenacting a battle of Star Wars![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
But most of my assumptions were incorrect and I found myself not only getting use to the twist motion but learning to love it.

Now unfortunately I don't own a LPM, but Hak was kind enough to LPM the laser for me and the numbers i got were 108-115mw with a Max of 132mw not exactly the 150mw I ordered but the difference is close enough to not notice the levels of brightness.
But on the flip-side I feel every review has to have some picture of a meter, and since it cant be an LPM why not this awesome Voltage meter reading of the battery after taking photos. AHH YAAA NUMBERS!

Now this laser looks stunning, and really has an attitude with the full titanium host. However when it came to the dot it lacked, and in a few ways this one might be worse then the one I sent back.
^This happens twice during adjustment of focus

Even through goggles some flaring can be seen,
Not to mention, even through out the cycle of the focusing ring. Small "ring shifts" or "speckles" appear.

^Happens with a slight shift of head near infinity focus and shifts all around for 360 degrees around the "dot"
Now even with the flaws of dots, I can still appreciate the hair thin and gorgeous beam.

Now for the final Verdict,
This is truly an awesome looking laser, defiantly fun to shoot with as I just recently purchased my d3100 and it really gives me a challenge for my photography.
Now the only issue I honestly have with this laser would be impurity of the dot, and after hearing what great reputation Jetlasers has with their quality, this was the last thing I would expect to see.
But dot aside I am very pleased with construction and feel of the laser.
Thanks again for reading my very first review, I look forward to any comments or thoughts on my review! But now, seeing how its 3am for me, its time for the pillow zone!
