My viper has a horrible halo, ive cleaned the lense many times, I used micro fiber cloth....... still, it stays. Also, i need help collimating it, i got a dot the size of a dime at 25ft, i need some feedback on it, does anyone know the standard??
PLEASE HELP LPF!!!
As Always, Thanks.
 





OK. i got one. Let me know what u think. i hid the dot in a pen cap so only the mess would show.

maybe its got some nasty stuff on it, it looks like there not so good stuff around it
 
That looks kinda like condensation. Let it sit overnight with the aperture cap off and clean the lens after that.

I used to do that, but some people say that it damages the AR coating on the lens.
 
MAN!! ive tried everything!!! nothing is working. how can i replace this? any advice??? thanks.
 
Ah! I've been there :(. I couldn't find a real replacement for my laser (it wasn't my x125), so I got a similar one from a camera and it worked. But you should try to ask dragon lasers for a replacement or repair. The lens is mounted on threads, right?
 
yes. the lense is glued to it. i was thinkin in about prying it off and replacing it with a new one but i dont know where to get the same glass lense. I dont relly want to screw up my laser though.
 
yea your best bet is to contact Dragon Lasers, and if not, sell it and buy a new one
