cerd what're you talking about

2017-05-18 15:47:36 UTC  

oh

2017-05-18 15:47:46 UTC  

that spinner I just linked vs the $10 I linked before it

2017-05-18 15:47:53 UTC  

yeah sorry

2017-05-18 15:47:56 UTC  

np

2017-05-18 15:47:57 UTC  

i sorta missed it

2017-05-18 15:48:07 UTC  

i'm not sure if they're the same though

2017-05-18 15:48:15 UTC  

well

2017-05-18 15:48:35 UTC  

looks kinda fun

2017-05-18 15:48:41 UTC  

be sure to review it

2017-05-18 15:48:42 UTC  

the reason I say this is because according to the reviews and seller, they're supposed to reach spin times of 4+ minutes out of the box

2017-05-18 15:48:49 UTC  

and

2017-05-18 15:49:22 UTC  

there's some guy which I linked in thred yesterday who reviewed a chinese copy of the counterpart, http://www.gearbest.com/novelty-toys/pp_619922.html

2017-05-18 15:49:36 UTC  

he has it on video spinning for 5+ minutes out of the box

2017-05-18 15:50:29 UTC  

hm

2017-05-18 15:50:58 UTC  

so it makes me believe that they're all chink made, just distributed to different sellers

2017-05-18 15:51:05 UTC  

which includes gearbest and the chink sites

2017-05-18 15:51:30 UTC  

i believe that's true for all aliexpress stores

2017-05-18 15:51:33 UTC  

for each model

2017-05-18 15:51:44 UTC  

yeah I'm almost positive about that too

2017-05-18 15:51:45 UTC  

idk about the western online stores though, but maybe they just resell them

2017-05-18 15:52:15 UTC  

at some point though I will need to order some hybrid bearings to replace the stainless steel ones

2017-05-18 15:52:37 UTC  

there were some differences between fidget cubes though

2017-05-18 15:52:49 UTC  

also in case you guys were thinking about it

2017-05-18 15:53:03 UTC  

I'm tempted to buy ones that are advertised as ceramic and dispute when they're steel

2017-05-18 15:53:04 UTC  

wd40 and other lubricants can actually slow your spinner

2017-05-18 15:53:46 UTC  

really now

2017-05-18 15:53:50 UTC  

the general consensus is to just degrease the ball bearing, not add lubricant

2017-05-18 15:54:08 UTC  

ß·

2017-05-18 15:54:27 UTC  

also of course, keep them away from water

2017-05-18 15:54:30 UTC  

the bearings will rust

2017-05-18 15:54:31 UTC  

as in clean it with alcohol or some shit

2017-05-18 15:54:47 UTC  

there's a video, one sec blasted

2017-05-18 15:56:24 UTC  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbBhU7km1HI this guy shows what happens when you oil a torqbar

2017-05-18 15:56:38 UTC  

and there's another cleaning video, lemme find it

2017-05-18 15:57:01 UTC  

>owning a real torqbar

2017-05-18 15:57:07 UTC  

he's a fuckin nerd

2017-05-18 15:57:18 UTC  

torqbar a shit

2017-05-18 15:57:20 UTC  

there are people who spend way too much money on this hobby

2017-05-18 15:57:36 UTC  

I saw a ribbit post yesterday where some guy had like

2017-05-18 15:57:38 UTC
