Hey there..
I wanted to know the difference between the original obsf 30s and the "generic" or knock off ones that can be boght from china for a much,much cheaper price..
I am not an idiot, i know they are way inferior, the only specific thing i know though is that the originals have a "solid" feel when pressed as opposed to a more " hollow" feel on the knock offs..i have the knock offs and i can confirm that, i wouldn't know about the orignal feel though cause i never had one..
The reason i am asking is that I am trying to support my hobby of building sticks (started 3 years ago with the help of you guys) in a very harsh environement, where i am litterally the only one (to my knowledge) in my country doing it (Egypt),so there is absolutely no local supply outlet, and between our failing currency with its horrible exchange rates,and the blatant high way robbery that is our customs rates,importing is EXTREMELY expensive and overpriced..
I guess what i am asking is , does it worth paying litterally 15x more (i am not even exaggerating) for the original ones when bought and shipped from the US, or are the chinese ones "good enough" considering the circumstances?
