That’s awesome! Love hearing that.

Thanks for the the tips! I did clean out the lids before the video actually. That white ring all around the inside of the lids seems to be where the black "paint" has worn off.

I’m an 80s guy. I love pink.

@@thefidgetfix people freak out when they see my custom Lisa frank appendix holster rig lmao. More guys think it’s cool than I expected

Yeah it’s definitely a preference thing.

Wow really? I’ll have a closer look at it. I wouldn’t even know where to get something like this if it actually is missing.

@thefidgetfix I think they just use another magnet. But it has to be thick enough to engage both halves. It's usually a "loose" piece (not glued in). I've also seen coins like this just use a metal slug instead of a magnet. However, I have never owned an actual "Milk Cap" from ACEDC.

@@bruner thanks Dan! I’m going to look into it.

@@bruner Thanks for the tip Dan! I had a magnet that was the right size and it definitely makes a difference

Sadly it was never mine to begin with. It was a loaner for the review. Love it though

I say always go with the original if you can afford it. Having said that, what exactly are you looking for? The Shield is a slightly trickier slider for people just getting into the hobby because it has a curve to it which makes the common slider tricks a bit more challenging

@thefidgetfix I'm between this one or a black cloud creations, they seem strong and durable

Thanks for the info and that little curve is what's calling my attention, I thought that little curve made it easier

@@josevera4713 It does for straight sliding back and forth but the minute you get into moves like laddering the curve makes it much trickier. You might be better off starting with something that has a flat surface instead of a curve.

@thefidgetfix awesome!! Thank u so much man! 👍

I mean it's all subjective though isn't it? I've tried a pretty wide range of sliders and have to say that a Magnus just always feels great in my hand. Every time I get rid of one I end up wanting to try another one. And I'll have to disagree with you on your reasoning as to why people like Magnus and Modusworks. Yes there is always hype but that doesn't mean it's misplaced. You may not agree with their perceived value (which is absolutely valid because that's your perspective) but saying that people only like it so that they can justify spending that much money on something isn't a fair statement. I find the resell value on Modusworks stuff to be crazy but I also have no problem with people spending that if they can afford it. I will say that I've had experience with cheaper sliders and, in a lot of cases at least, there have been issue with then that I haven't encountered on any of the higher end priced sliders. Part of the high cost is due to the investment in machinery which ends up producing a better made product. Again though, that's just my opinion. I've actually been wanting to do a Fidget Chat episode debating this very thing with people who have differing opinions...

@@thefidgetfix You are right on all fronts and this topic would definitely be a great point of discussion in Fidget Chat. This is my personal take, as someone who has spent $500+ on each of the top three. My message is to those that are new to the community and hearing these names as if they are the be-all and end-all of fidgets. If you are not a collector, there are fidgets of equal quality that provide the same level of fun at much lower prices. You do not need to spend this kind of money on these brands.

@@Shoorah On that I completely agree. There are so many newcomers to this (and any) hobby that see the most expensive item and think that's the one they need. So much so that they basically ignore all the more cost-friendly versions along the way. I'm totally guilty of that myself. Yeah I'm convinced this would be a good episode now!

@@Shoorah What is your fav brand?

@@modulatethecarrier I don’t have any favourite brands but I can recommend some fidgets, depending what type you are looking for.

Yeah I have to admit that even though I’m not a fan of Ultem a King Crab in Ultem actually looks kind of cool

Magnus is mass produced and loses 50% of its value when it hits the cart. What a shame.

got it yesterday this thing is a fantastic. This is the first expensive fidget where I actually feel like it feels like it actually is a $200 fidget, magnets are so strong. clicks feel snappy and good - . Unlike another certain expensive fidget maker, cough lautie cough

That's an interesting thought but, to be honest, it isn't something I'm personally worried about since there's very minimal exposure to the magnets. The only time I'm touching them at all is the rare instance where I'm opening the slider up to change something.

@@thefidgetfix well with dampeners yea. but if you let it rattle it will build up nickel dust over time. then i dont know how well that dust stays inside.

@@griper00 that's fair.

I might have to make a run out there some day soon to get a few more review items off of you. Plus there's a great fishing spot near you!

Yeah I can totally see that but there are so many people with different preferences when it comes to fidgets that there’s always an audience out there who’s going to like something this small.

@@thefidgetfix exactly, these are items for people to connect personally with. But it’s like trying to carry the worlds smallest knife 😂

yeah I would definitely say it's on the louder side. The hollow body creates a bit of an acoustic echo chamber for it

Actually the teflon side plates control the tension pressing down on the internal disc. The internal springs and balls can definitely affect it but only very slightly. Those teflon side plates are basically the track that the internal disc travels up and down on so the tighter they are the harder it is for the disc to travel and vice versa.

Is that because you would be afraid of damaging it?

@@thefidgetfix because it doesn't slide smoothly 🫤

@@francobriano8681 got it. Yeah it’s a shame it didn’t slide more smoothly.

That’s great to hear!

I believe it’s resin. It doesn’t feel like typical 3D filament

Vibe edc facebook group

There were a few times I was having audio issues

I get it. Okay. Whatever works for you.

@@-fuk57 this is a fidget review channel and the strawberry crash happens to be a pretty tiny one. I’m sure they look pretty ridiculous to someone who isn’t in to fidgets though so I totally get your reaction.

That would actually be pretty epic.

Yeah I can totally understand that. There's a 10% discount if you use the code thefidgetfix if that helps at all.

Gotta agree, 90 bucks for that is insane. I don't really see anything justifying the price, be it materials or craftsmanship.

Thanks for noticing! I've actually started recording videos with my iPhone 15 Max Pro and have been building a lighting setup around it. Using external lenses and other stuff. I'm constantly upgrading my gear to make the channel content look as good as possible so it's great when I hear it's working.

I'm sorry to say I don't. I don't even have it anymore. Someone in the Daily Fidget facebook group must know though. Have you tried posting in there?

I have both and was surprised that I prefer this one.

​@thefidgetfix Oh wow, really? Why is that? Sits better in the hand perhaps?

@@tardun yeah there’s something about the form factor that actually works better when it’s smaller. Although it does need a lanyard to use properly. I have a review of it coming out tomorrow or I go deeper into it.

I hear what you're saying but there's a difference between similar and an obvious ripoff. The problem is that it's a tough line to define so, for a lot of people, it comes down to "You know it when you see it."

I think the biggest thing is that they redesigned the outer plates to add extra grip.

It's the Civivi Kivi. If you check out the full length videos on my channel you'll find a review I did of it (ages ago).

I’m not sure to be honest. Emile Belanger, the owner of Vibe EDC, actually commented a few down from this comment so, if you reply to his comment, you can ask him directly.

No judgement but I’m curious to know what you don’t like about it.

it's so good

Is this available already? How much is it? Cant find the store.

@@dhoyan I put the Facebook group link in the description. He doesn’t have a store yet so he’ll only be releasing in the group for now.

@@thefidgetfixwill wait for it. I really like it. Very unique concept. Thank you for sharing about this fidget item.
