Want to start buying lasers, what are some good cheap ones?

Seem pretty damn cheap for the MW of it.

Would you say red lasers burn/ distance the most for the price?

Obv green light travels farther, but it also is very very expensive.

So, ultimately, would a red laser be the best laser to buy on a lower budget if I wanna burn stuff and just have a bad ass laser? ^_^

Also ordered a "100 mw" green laser from Tmart.com

Although I've heard reports of true power outputs of 30-60 mw, but for the price (14 bucks) I'm not mad, haha, it'll still emit a bad ass visible green beam, so it's w/e.

I have not ordered from rayfoss before, but I hear people saying the quality isn't as good anymore. Lots of people are now recommending Lazerer.

I have this one for sale:

Will light a match easily when it's focused/burn through plastic/pop balloons.

It is a high power laser, so you do need goggles for burning with it.

In terms of visibility I'd say it's about the same a 10-20mW of Green.

On low budget a red laser is the best option for burning imho.

I'm new to all this but the greens are not that expensive, a little more than red generally but there are a few sites with 100 and 200mw greens for well under a 100 hundred and some 100 mw greens under 50 dollars.

The only really expensive ones are the oranges and yellow golds etc.
