and it was _very_ half assed

Anybody know which site sells novelty poker cards? this kinda stuff:

I have 26 packs of all different kinds that I picked up in Shanghai

most of the good ones have "pokart" on the box but theres barely any info on them on the internet

wait this isn't <#531212403858472967> <:pepewot:589100642820161551>

I really want that WoW themed Xiaomi phone

please keep it /csg/ related discussion

<:pepewot:589100642820161551>

What does the actual phone look like

we don't know yet but if it's anything like the Miku Collab it's gonna be <:gachigasm:592062549181202459>

tfw got into csg to escape brand loyalty but now I'm a sucker for our chinese overlords at xiaomi

@Cole Don't buy batteries from Liitokala. The ones I bought weren't even the "for Samsung", they were just "Samsung", and they were fake as fuck. Bad batteries are just small bombs. Still angry about that fucking dispute, only lost because I didn't realize early enough to start dispute inside the window.

i still have my liitokala batteries

used them for some 120mm pc fan-to-solder-fume-extractor projects

Was about to say that @timsandtoms was scammed by liitokala but the man himself beat me to it

seems they only got good chargers, eh?

I still have the batteries, and from what little I've tested they aren't BAD cells, but when they're sketchy about them, even if they DID publish specs, I wouldn't trust them. I use them for my lower draw lights, like when using 4 cells in the BLF Q8, or solo in D4S/GT Mini. They don't ever go in any of the D4.

Oh, yeah, their chargers are supposed to be great.

Only testing I was able to do on the batteries was testing on a SkyRC MC3000, and they did ok, worse than legit ones, but if someone gave me them and just said they were legit 30Qs/VTC6 that they'd used regularly for a bit I wouldn't really question.

@timsandtoms maybe there's fake Liitokala about

@Tribit like fake chargers? Or knock-off of their batteries? Because their batteries are already knock-offs.

how many batteries did u buy

and from what store

because i remember reading somewhere that there were two liitokala stores on ali and one sold fakes but i could be remembering rong

Not many, just a pair of VTC6 and 4x 30Q, but they were listed as "Sony" or "Samsung", not the "for Sony" or "for Samsung" they usually try to trick you with. Any big Liitokala store was doing it at the time, I don't know if some went legit or not.

so fake stores will say for sony or for samsung?

If it says "for BRAND" on a frequently counterfeited item, 100% it will be a counterfeit.

@timsandtoms maybe both, I use Liitokala in my Gongtian fan

Mine come with a little qr code sticker

If it says "BRAND", read the description REALLY carefully, because they might try to hide it there. If every mention of it seems legit... It might still be fake, but the odds are better.

@Tribit Same.

Maybe there's fake Liitokala batteries

There's fake Xiaomi stuff too

The wrapping was different, and the vent holes on top were different on the 30Qs. I didn't do much verification on the VTC6, they looked different than my legit ones, but I didn't hunt down every spec online to confirm since I had received other fakes in the same order.

>when chinese companies get mad at people copying their copies of an original product

aside from physical structure, check resistance

and weight

@Tribit What do you mean fake Liitokala? Liitokala batteries ARE the fake ones. They try to make them pass as 30Qs

fakes will have higher internal resistance and ligther weight

Protip - to measure max current, short the cell with your multimeter in current mode!
