Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

I count 3. Schrodinger, you and myself.

I think @TensorBackhand ordered his through Global Sports Store so that’s why he got pics sent to him on the correct blade

 

[JackJohnson]

@TensorBackhand did you order a blade first then message seller on sending pics with weight and correct blade or the other way around?

I put in a order with the notes asking for weight, and inner.
Then I messaged the seller (the order automatically shows up in the chat history) and asked for him to take a photo on the scale.

Global Sport Store also sent me a picture, whereas I only asked them to check that the right one was sent :

I have a feeling I'm not going to like the W81 handle. It looks a bit thick. I also don't love the handle on my Arthur Pro ZLC, but I love the catapult and springy feeling.

Oh, and a so-called specialist in chinese equipment told me that no one in China was using Yinhe, Loki or anything else different from Hurricane 3. I know it's false, but are there some market share numbers ?

I don't know numbers. I do believe what I heard from someone actually playing in China, that most people just look for something cheap and durable

That looks right but did Global Sports Store still send you the wrong one?

You can always sand down a thicker handle to fit your hand.

I did that to the flare on my Yasaka Resonate.

If you're looking for the perfect fit, getting something slightly thicker and sanding to custom fit your hand is a better option than trying to find a perfect fit from the factory.

this conclusion is getting popular on this forum and imo it's correct.

a bty blade is indeed more expensive to make because they had to pay for the r&d, but since tt blades are pretty simple products and the materials needed for manufacture are readily available, after it gets to market, nothing is stopping stuor etc. to just copy it and sell it for 1/5 price and still have a good profit margin.

also, big brands spend a lot on marketing because it works, the funny thing is that the money that gets spent on marketing needs to be reflected in the price of the product if you want to be profitable. so if you buy a product for which you see an ad for example, you actually pay for the ad too.

marketing is the main reason ppl buy bty blades for example. that's not to say that bty blades are bad, they are very good in fact. it-s just that you can get the same thing for 1/3-1/5 price.

I can tell you thats why I started to make my own blades- everything you need is there ready to buy.
I took the viscaria composition as a blue print and changed some variables here and there.

This is where the real hell of EJing is starting 🤪

totally! DIYers are the OG EJers. raw materials, prefabricates, tooling, r&d time, failed experiments. normie EJs got nothing on us dawg.

I'm weak, I also ordered Yinhe Pro 03 and Sanwei Vita ALC, with 2 Target 3 OS.

 

[K.K]

sadly in my country the prices are even higher then they would for the regular sale that was some days before. should have bought my stuff at this time around, but you‘ll never know with aliexpress…

 

[AutomaticBackhand]

This is what I ended up with,
Nothing crazy or new - except the LAC in green package this time.
I already have that watch, but this price is pretty good.

No new blades - already bought the DF Outer ZLC and I got way too many.

Maybe if I get convinced by some special offer today or tomorrow I could place another order.

Could you tell me about the xiaomi mi band 9 ? Can it make/receive calls?

Not really, no speakers or microphone, it can show messages.
I don't use it for that, more for fitness tracking, sleep tracking, as an Alarm Clock.

LAC in green package sounds like a new version competing with ESN hybrids, is that correct?

It's been out for some time now but I haven't seen anything about it.

I ordered it in red 2x, will see how it goes.

I'll probably try it either to see how it fares against my ZGX

 

[TensorBackhand]

I think its quite different from zgx

I think the same either, maybe I save some bucks not buying it?
