You better use this laser from time to time. Once or twice a month for few minutes.
Laser is like a car. If you do not use it it goes out of order quicker than during normal use.

Resurrecting this thread for a question. Is it helium or gas leaking from the seals or outside air leaking into the tube the problem? Depending on whichever it is could storing under pressure (air or helium), or vacuum stretch the time of storage? Looking for an answer that states the real physics not just urban legend concerning the tubes. I'm leaving the question of corrosion out of this for now.
