Would you ask for a replacement or refund ???

to left is Rxton5 -orange sponge --- to the right Rxton9 blue sponge
Both rubbers are sold as 2.1mm . the R5 IS 2,1mm but the R9 is 1.9mm.

Am I too fussy ?????

 

[TensorBackhand]

Totally I would ask for refund.

BTW, which sponge is harder?

this is ever so difficult to establish. When pressing with thumb and index finger they both feel about the same.
I am going all out on a limb here and say : to me the blue sponge feeeels a little bit softer B U T the black top layer feels harder to depress than the R5 top layer.

that's good to know. I'm still traumatized by my 36d Rxton 5.

But maybe I will give Rxton 5 a try again.

Yes, I remember you mentioning it in the other thread.
I think Loki has one hell of a quality control problem.
All my R5 are of the old stock and i got enough of them to see me through.
I don't think I will buy anymore from them because with the problem you had and the problems other friends here on the forum had with the ALC bubbles and now this problem with R9, it looks like
becoming a gamble to buy stuff from them.

Imagine all the booster you can stuff in that sponge before exceeding the 4mm limit.

funny you should say that 😁The first layer of seamoon did nothing at all and the second layer did a little dome. After 12 hours waiting that little dome just about disappeared and the sponge was the same thickness as before and maybe, but only maybe, there was a couple of mm lateral growth.

what was written on the package or on the other side of the rubber

2.1mm MAX

Maybe top sheet is thicker? Although judging by the photo, I see that the top sheets are the same in thickness. In any case, before opening a dispute, measure the total thickness of the rubber. If this is the maximum, then it should be 4 mm.

Not an uncommon problem tbh. I remember Xiom Vega Intro ended up measuring 0.2mm less than advertised. So the 2.0mm was only 1.8mm and the MAX was only 2.0mm.

I think my biggest problem will be not only to produce evidence hat will convince Aliexpress of the facts that i have a case but also to not make them simply say: "So what, a few 10th of a millimeter difference, who cares."

You have every reason to open a dispute. It's up to you to decide whether to do it or not, but in reality it's a big difference in performance. Thinner rubber plays completely differently. Of course, this is not a store’s problem, but a manufacturer’s problem. Once again I confirmed for myself the conclusion not to buy the Rxton9...

 

[SofaChamp]

Surely this is the price you pay for buying cheap stuff from non-reputable manufacturers?

 

[disaster3]

Can anyone, who have opened rxton 9 check the thickness?
Maybe it is common problem or just the exception. Unfortunately, I could do this (ordered 2 pcs) but they are still sealed.

I have opened a few disputes on AliExpress and they always take it seriously, I've even been given items for free and been refunded as well. They definitely are not going to say a couple of mm won't matter. Just elaborate that the product and its description doesn't match and upload some pics.

You can msg the seller first to see what they have to say and what they offer but if it's not going your way then just ask for a refund.

Surely this is just you pulling yourself ? 🤣
Not everybody can or indeed wants to ply with Dignics
