There's still no such thing as a reliable 1W green handheld pointer.I have bought 3 from o-like.com, a 532 50mw, 532 150mw, and a focusable blacklight 150mw laser. the only nice quality was the focusable one, and the other 2 greens broke. the 150mw green had bad issues with the screw towards the back cap, it refuses to work so i solved that by having to manually bend a paperclip in it.
for higher powered lasers i didnt like that o-like had, keeping in mind I'm one of those dummies who doesnt like the big lasers.
I suppose its true that you get what you pay for, maybe one of these days I'll have the money for a high quality 1000+mw 532.
1W Kryptons from Wicked regularily go sub-800, there's a handful of reviews aroudn the forums. I think the community conclusion was that they use 800mW green modules and essentually "bin" them for efficiency and those that are overspec are sold as 1W lasers.
If you're for burning power, you might wanna take a look at 445nm lasers. Just recently, we broke 3W barrier in a handheld laser
