I think a guy called Ryans laser shop was here for one month ago, I don't know if it was named "Ryan laser shop", but something like that :P

Don't do DealExtreme. The laser they sent me would not work.

The ones that actually burn tend to cost 35$ or more. Good luck :)

$40 for a 5 mW laser, what a waste of money lol.
OP - I'd say you need around 150-200mW to burn things effectively. I don't get why you would dish out $200-300 just to burn things when you could use a match.
People here really lack in basic laser knowledge. 😑

http://laserpointerforums.com/ Look around for someone selling them on there is my opinion, they make them for recreation and are amazing at it.

OP, remember what you were taught in 3rd grade or whatever the fuck taught you ROYGBIV?
Lasers are different builds for each color.
ROYGBIV
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet
Red lasers are very unstable, rather than green and blue lasers which are very stable.
If you want to start going into exotic Orange/Yellow colors, then those will actually reach you into the $1000's.
OP, there is a member here that goes by the name of RoyalLasers
He might of changed his name to RyanRenieis I think but just see if you can find him.
He makes very high quality lasers and sells them for cheaper than on laserpointerforums...LPF is known to take advantage of new people into the world of lasers.
Blue's will not start to get interesting until 400mW+
Green's that burn are very rare and are very expensive. a 1W green laser will cost up to $800.
Red lasers will get interesting at 200-300mW.
Blue lasers will always be more expensive than red lasers.
Red lasers will always be the cheapest laser
I'd like to post more information about lasers but it's 2:05am and I want to play CS:S.

If you want a cheap but nice working burning laser around 200mw I recommend buying this
http://dx.com/p/true-green-laser-pen-5mw-91
That's the 5mw, you need to take out the insides, replace the laser module with this
http://dx.com/p/200mw-532nm-green-laser-module-3v-11-9mm-26891
And there you have it a $48 burning 200mw laser
If you're on a tight budget I recommend this otherwise you should just probably take a look at RoyalLase's quality builds
