but from what I've read, most of them are the same thing since theyre sold by multiple legit spinner sites and they're the same, made in the same manufacturer etc

2017-05-18 15:47:11 UTC  

just under different brand names

2017-05-18 15:47:20 UTC  

Madness

2017-05-18 15:47:28 UTC  

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

2017-05-18 15:57:18 UTC
