I just discovered these 'Wicked Cap Set' from wicked lasers, they sound pretty awesome, for turning low powers into higher, I guess like a magnifyer glass effect........ any way, Do you all use them on some of your lasers ? Will they seem to fit on non wicked brands, such as Dragon lasers, etc..... most smaller lasers as long as the caps unscrew

the wicked caps set is just what you described it as, there is a flat lens which is simply for protection of the laser and a lens that focuses the beam to a fine point to aid in burning. as long as your laser is the same diameter as the cap set you buy they would work, but i think it would just be easier to get a regular magnifying glass

Good move Rhith at least you cashed them in first before your amazing RAMPAGE ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
for $60+(including shipping) two lenses, on flat and one that has a focal length of Only 2 1/2 inches from the lasers apreture, is not worth it...and no I have not bought a set, to dicsern this... but have made focusing lens-caps of my own, with far greater focal distances.... realy, if I wanted something that could ONLY burn 2 inches away from said 'burning-device' I would just buy a bic-lighter for under a buck.
the only time I think those lenses might have any value is it the lenses they come with could easily(meh easy is realtive to a degree) be exchanged for other/better/different lenses....which I had asked thier live-help about and been told they had no idea.... then e-mailed them, and some mumhambi fellow answerd he had no idea..... then to e-mail again, and have thier 'andrew' reply that No, no other lenses could be put into the cap set to exchange them for a lens of your own..... so all in all.... it looks pretty(the cap set) but $60+ for something I have already made, with a better focal length, for less then $5(far less actually, just lazy in trying to remember what was scavanved for free
) , But Not worth more then $15(thier cap set) with shipping included...because two thumb-nails worth of aluminum and glass(or plastic?) is Not worth $18 in shipping lol
**Thats Yogi's and My two cents'es'es'es

Thats interesting to know Rith...
Just another facet to point out about How 'wonderful'(note the sarcasm) WickedLasers CustomerService is..... no one knew there, knew that the lenses could be replaced, is so a customer wished to buy the cap-set and do so... In fact the Last Official word I got from Andrew(I think it was), was that 'No there is No way Possible to exchange the lense they come with....They do not even KNOW thier Own Products, and did not Care to even try and find the proper answer, to give to a long-time customer whom showed interest in thier product.... I am sort of glad they gave me fauly information now, or I Might have bought the cap set.....which all in all is a piece of expensive garbage... 2 1/2 inches of a focal distance My bic-lighter can burn at a greater distance, and is Ajustable
;D

;DI have an awsome lens I grinded down with the use of a dremel, from a magnifying glass... its focal-distance is 12 inches, and will aid in burning from closer and father... between 4-24 inches... the thing is it is about 2/3s of an inch thick, and I have been using plastic dowel-end caps to afix it into... now a lens that thick wouldnt fit into the cap-set at any rate hmm ?
possibly! haha. there is a good deal of space to mount it into if you got the circumference the right size. the whole chamber of the cap is threaded and it just have a piece that screws down into the whole thing so the possibilities are almost limitless! ;D
