Anyone found a seller of reliable replacement backs for the pins? I think someone linked to Amazon a long time ago. The backs on AliPins are poo poo and shouldn't be trusted.

Read that as reliable pins for the back.

One thing to note about those backs, is to be careful if using them on pins for a bag that you keep anything with wires in - the wires can catch and wedge open the locking backs. They're still way better than the rubberbacks of course.

go to alibaba, put up an RFQ with the designs you want, you'll be flooded with quotes within an hour. you can pick the one you want, and go through the whole order and payment process through their website

note: some sellers will immediately rip off your designs and sell them on aliexpress. which may or may not be a dealbreaker. some suppliers are more trustworthy though.

also you will get neverending emails from suppliers with quotes.


edit: i've seen a lot of people who order custom pins on ali get their designs ripped off. i ordered a bunch of neopets pins so it doesn't matter either way lol, but they haven't been ripped off so i'm very surprised

You can specify your order amount in the RFQ. Suppliers may respond with a different quantity if it's below their MOQ.

Bear in mind that you will need to pay a fee for the mold (which the supplier may or may not roll up into the per item cost).

So did someone say there was a fitness tracker worth buying on Ali?

You're safe here.

Shut up Meg posted:

I had a fancy Garmin smart fitness tracker ($100) and the screen died after 30 days
My friend had a fitbit dumb tracker ($80) and the clasp (and hence the entire thing) broke after 3 months

I bought a Mi Band for $20 - it's still going strong and it does all the same things they did, plus replacement bands are $2 a pop.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xiaomi-Mi-Band-3-Miband-3-Smart-Wristband-With-0-78-OLED-Touch-Screen-Waterproof-Heart/32880744665.html

The only limitation is that the screen is too small for caller ID unless you have really, really good eyes.

Shut up Meg posted:

1) The step counter is (supposedly) more accurate than a phone
2) It has a heart rate monitor which is useful when doing exercise other than walking running (e.g. bicycling)
3) It has a heart rate monitor which is useful when your vision goes dark, your chest feels like it will explode and your legs go wobbly to see just how much strain you've put on your heart
4) It alerts you when your phone is ringing when you've left it on vibrate in the other room
5) The vibrating alarm is great for waking you up without disturbing a sleeping partner.

I miss the days of trackers that weren't strictly as bracelets. I have several nice watches that I prefer to wear; I don't want to have to wear a Fitbit "watch" just because I want tracking and timekeeping both. :(

Thankfully my ancient Fitbit One is still going strong after nearly five years, clipped to my bra or my jeans pocket. I hope I haven't just jinxed it. :ohdear:

Sadly that Mi Band link doesn't ship to Canada because, I dunno, our countries are at war or something maybe.

yeah I've been looking for a slim bracelet that does heartrate tracking but either has no screen or has a screen that will stay blank; the Withings Pulse HR seems about as close as I'm going to get right now to something not overly chunky.

edit: If anyone's looking for headphones/earbuds - I posted this last night elsewhere:

just noticed there's a new version, same buds but a bigger battery charging case:

the Haylou buds are a replacement for

that I had been using for the last six months: the Haylou ones are slightly smaller, slightly louder/bassier and have a better sound-locking fit to my ear holes but the touch sensitive controls are a little vague - did I double-tap to the next song and it starts quiet or did I pause? - where the QCY ones have a definite mechanical click button; take your pick :o:

My wife loves her mummy halloween earrings too that were a buck. The weed stash bag arrived and is nice, but I haven't tested its smell proofness but I don't see why it won't be decent.
