just got my p125 today and it was great until i tried to clean the lens. there seemed to be some scatter on the lens so i used a qtip to clean it just like i always do. now the beam is huge at a distance. i dont know if maybe i pushed the lens back on accident or something like. anyone got any advice for me? ive already tried to get the aperture off but i couldnt. i know wicked wont take it back with the scratches on the ap and the fact that i probably pushed the lens back, so i need to find out how to fix this one or else i'll buy another.

ok im an idiot.

apparently the lens can be unscrewed, making the lens unfocus. i must have done this when i was swirling my qtip on the lens. thank god.

yea i figured it would be ok to use qtips as i have been using them on my other 2 green lasers. the problem was that i rotated the lens inside the aperture and unfocused the beam.. its cool that i figured this out cause now i can adjust it to my liking without taking it apart as described in one of the stickies!

i didnt mess up the end trying to get the aperture off. you can hardly notice a tiny scratch i put on it. this laser is freakin awesome!
