Budget Nov AFU clone

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.

More likely, its the OEM that Novritsch used, without the novritsch branding and associated exorbitant pricing.

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.

I normally just smack the back of my head where the unit is until it stops making the revving noise lmao

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

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.

Did anyone order one in the end? 

 

Apparently the only difference to the Nov is the fan they use. 

 

Some noise complaints but than again you lot have posted the same about the branded version.
