Speedy Sloth Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 (edited) So I was browsing and I found this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008123115196.html Looks like a clone/maybe the rejects from the production line for the Nov anti fog unit. £13 seems a steal, but I do wonder if it has the same issue of being made from a weak plastic that can't take a bb strike. Not a fan of having a potential re active lithium target strapped to my head. Edited November 25 by Speedy Sloth The_Lord_Poncho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantKiwi Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 More likely, its the OEM that Novritsch used, without the novritsch branding and associated exorbitant pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lord_Poncho Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 I have the Nov version, and its done me rather well so far. A year or so in though, and the fan gets intermittently noisy, so if I can't resolve that when I finally get round to opening it up, i'll try out the ali version.

Speedbird_666 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Surely it's worth a punt for less than £20 posted? Enid_Puceflange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally just smack the back of my head where the unit is until it stops making the revving noise lmao 9 hours ago, Speedy Sloth said: I do wonder if it has the same issue of being made from a weak plastic that can't take a bb strike. They fixed this in the V2 version by the way, it can take up to 2J before starting to deform which is a lot better than the previous 'we have a patch that covers it lol' solution they had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enid_Puceflange Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Definitely worth a “punt” at that price Added to my basket 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Sloth Posted November 26 Author Share Posted November 26 (edited) Suddenly like 10 listing have appeared so looks like it's open season on budget anti fog unit's on AliExpress. For £13-£20 doesn't matter if the fan is occasionally noisy, would be more annoyed for Nov's price though. Hopefully these aren't terrible QC rejects.
