First, I'm looking for a cheap setup to experiment with (a mid distance looping+ blade). I see the Yinhe E-3 and E-3 VB (cpen) going for $20 to $30 (US) on AliExpress and would like some feedback about the E series. E-3 is cheaper and thinner (~5.7), where as VB is slightly thicker (~6). I prefer thinner blades, but is the vacuum bake worth the added thickness and cost?
Second, and on a more general note, Yinhe has so, so, so many blades. I wish I could try them all, but that isn't going to happen. So, would you guys be willing to share your experiences re. the different blades/series of blades here? There strengths, weaknesses, cost, etc? I would love to hear from you guys.
my preference as far as I can tell? ALL+/OFF-/OFF, mid distance looping, ~5.5 to ~5.7mm, ~85 grams. There appear to be blades in the E,W and Y series (even K) that fit this category. sigh...
