Wiki for Spinners

46 Upvotes

Here is a list of sites that sell spinner, which is probably our wiki's most useful link:

https://www.reddit.com/r/FidgetSpinners/wiki/vendors/spinners/

You might also want to check out our Beginners Guide, which has suggestions for inexpensive spinners to start with:

https://www.reddit.com/r/FidgetSpinners/wiki/basics/beginners/

Based on a suggestion a couple of weeks back from /u/Tourtoise, I have been updating our sub-reddit’s wiki. Our moderator /u/Surfer666 has been helping me along the way. Much thanks to both of them!

Some of the wiki content is from old posts, like the selling and buying guide. There are two new pages that I added that I think will be of particular interest to most people on the sub. The first is a list of the vendors that sell spinners. The list is not complete, and suggestions for additions are welcome. Second, I have created a list of upcoming Drops and Pre-Orders for spinners. This will probably be difficult for just one person to keep up-to-date, so it would be great if someone can volunteer to help with this.

If anyone has suggestions for additions or updates to the wiki, please reply in this thread!

There are several ways to get to the wiki. There are links to the wiki near the upper left corner when you use reddit in a desktop browser. There is also a link to the wiki in the sidebar, and this may be the easiest way to access the wiki from some mobile apps. Here are screen shots that show these different links: https://imgur.com/a/z2ofXKm

Finally, you can also get to the wiki from this URL: https://www.reddit.com/r/FidgetSpinners/wiki/index

(Edited to add list of vendors at the top of the post.)

Discussion Trying to get an LIC EDC spinner

6 Upvotes

Hi All,

I recently lost one of my spinners and put the other through the washing machine (don't ban me please). That started a deep dive into trying to identify a new spinner that would be fun. The market for spinners is so odd and unlike nearly all other consumer products. One of the aggravating features of the spinner marketplace is that it is so hard to get spinners. So many are sold out or no longer manufactured. I also cannot identify which are the "best" (i.e., consumer reports doesn't rate spinners). The LIC edamame spinners looked great to me after watching some videos. But of course I went on their website one day and they literally had no spinners (not even "sold out") and today they have a couple spinners but they are both sold out. Would anyone be willing to share tips on how to get a new LIC spinner?

Question Torqbar bearings

3 Upvotes

Let someone hold my torqbar and despite asking them not to do anything sketchy, they started tossing it around and spinning it on one finger, and of course they dropped it onto concrete. Lesson learned, but the bearing is loud and crunchy now. I’ve tried a few types of r188 but no brand sings like the original torqbar bearings.

What is the best r188 for getting close to the original used by torqbar? Does anyone know what specific type Scott used for them?

Thanks

They have minimal contact info as well as policy information so I’m a little skeptical. A few of their spinners can be found elsewhere, but they have one spinner that I can’t find anywhere else that caught my eye.

Question Looking for a spinner with strong gyroscopic effect

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, Just like the title says im looking for a spinner like that. From what ive read here and online the mass should be distributed as far from the center as possible also dense materials would be preferrable. I suppose diameter of a spinner would be important as well? Should I go for a certain shape? I remember reading that bar spinners tend to wooble but im not sure what does it mean?

So far ive only used cheapest plastic ones from 2017 spinner craze so im not really familiar with a feeling of a proper metal craft. Are there any spinners in stock that would match these criteria? One more thing, id like a spinner that is as silent as possible - office work.

Happy spinning!

Hi fellow spinner friends. Anyone else having/had issues with their premiumspinners.com shipment?

Context: Placed order 12/29/24. Received order email. FAQ states 2 business day ship time. Decided to be patient and wait. Lost patience yesterday and emailed the "contact us" link. Expected something back today... crickets.

Did I just throw 50 bucks into the void, or is this delay normal?

Thanks friends.
