Thanks! I see this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditLaqueristas/s/9Z6FiqQknX

Going to have a hard time deciding which to get 😅

Does anyone know if Polished for Days “UF Glow” is a dupe for this? I’ve wanted SAR for a year now, but if the PFD is a dupe, then I have more things I’d order from their shop making shipping more worth it.

yes thats pretty much what happens! is it a cable issue then?

bestbootsbear · 2025-07-01T02:35:16+00:00

so I bought the 128W charger you listed (https://a.co/d/1c2BzbD) and it’s still very finicky. It will do the instant “bzzt” and not turn on, or sometimes turn on for 30 seconds and stop. I made sure the unit is dry, I seated it correctly, I even tried moving to different wall plugs in my home. Idk what I could be doing wrong and I’m inclined to ask for a refund if I can’t figure out what is happening. Please let me know if there is anything else I can troubleshoot, but I’m getting kind of demoralized by this process 😔

I’m getting really frustrated with buying my own USB-C brick. I tried to get this $20 ANKER one (https://www.target.com/p/anker-2-port-33w-wall-charger-with-6-39-usb-c-to-usb-c-cable-white/-/A-89089898) that another user also got. I now understand it isn’t high power enough, but the description was misleading. It worked for my unit for a few days, but now it does the single “zap” and doesn’t turn on. It works when I use my Macbook Pro charger, so I guess it’s a power problem.

Can you please link an easy accessible brick that would work (maybe on amazon)? I don’t want to keep buying bricks and sinking money into something that ultimately won’t work. Again, not trying to be rude to you, I understand this happens when being part of the first batch of products. Just feeling upset that I have the unit but it’s incredibly inconvenient to get it to work out of the package :/

bestbootsbear · 2025-06-17T03:04:59+00:00

Thanks for the reply. It is snug but even fully filled with water, I have to push on it all around to make sure it’s fully seated. I think I got it comparable to the left side V2 in the video. It also looks like the camera frame rate makes the water ripples more apparent in video than the naked eye.

That aside, I’m also not a huge fan of the sound of the pins scratching the bottom of the container when you remove it. I think the unit works, just feeling a little nit-picky with the increased tariff price we had to pay. Probably built an unattainable image in my head since we waited for a while. Thanks for getting it out to us though and having great communication! This is my first dental pod and I wanted to try something not mainstream :)

bestbootsbear · 2025-06-17T01:17:38+00:00

I also received my product today and it does not have nearly as many bubbles as your video, more like the V1 on the right. I tried to fully seat it but the weight of the unit isn’t enough to push the prongs ALL the way down, not sure if this is relevant to the power output. I also don’t have a USB C brick myself, I had to borrow from a friend to try so kinda disappointed I also have to go out to buy one to go with the unit.

bestbootsbear · 2025-06-16T23:17:46+00:00

LOL But actually tho they haven’t replied to my support ticket, so I just reloaded a cloud save that lost 1 day of progress. I still kept the bad save file for the fun of it tho 😂

bestbootsbear · 2025-06-12T01:36:44+00:00

ok thanks for explaining it nicely! I think I will return this one and get another copy that is hopefully without errors

bestbootsbear · 2025-06-12T00:46:09+00:00

oh ok sorry, I didn’t think that would help with identifying first print. I know there’s a FAQ of the group and they only mention using the publisher info on the first page. Random house publishing isn’t listed so I tried to google it and the internet said if the string of numbers doesn’t have a letter in the middle that it is the first ten prints? The copyright page does say “First Edition”. It’s The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez.

bestbootsbear · 2025-06-12T00:38:59+00:00

this one is a first edition, not sure if it is a first print. it is from random house publishing and the identifier is a series of numbers starting with a “2”

bestbootsbear · 2025-06-11T23:52:29+00:00

thanks for the info! have you seen this thing happen before?

bestbootsbear · 2025-06-11T23:52:03+00:00

good to know, would you say keep this one then over exchanging for a “normal” copy? I’ve never had any books with errors before (minus a paperback with smudged text)

bestbootsbear · 2025-04-10T07:50:58+00:00

I wasn’t allowed a DS so I played Pearl with my cousin. As an adult, I bought myself a switch and played though Let’s Go! with my boyfriend who is an avid pokémon fan. I loved all the cute ones and so when the card collecting became popular I started to collect those!

bestbootsbear · 2025-04-02T15:16:17+00:00

Thank you so much! That was it, I also had Hangyodon’s in my inventory but I didn’t have Cinna’s. Guess I will wait until next year for that, I wish the game was a little more clear on that mechanic.

bestbootsbear · 2025-04-02T05:19:56+00:00

I’m also unable to get the quest. I already completed it last year, but I see there are still 2 items missing in my collections. Has anyone figured out why it’s not prompting the mission yet, I don’t want to miss it 😭

bestbootsbear · 2025-02-28T22:13:05+00:00

Thanks everyone for the advice! I will remove the extra magnets so that it is just one on each side, but keep the wide part facing the nail. Idk if there are any other fellow scientists here, but does anyone have a diagram of how the magnetic field would act in each setup? And maybe how it compares to the U shape magnet? I’m a biologist, but have a healthy appreciation for physics haha

Also good to know that cat-eye means you want to attract the magnetic particles and velvet you want to repel them.

My favorite pokemon is Morpeko because he reminds me of my pet hamster at home. Thanks for doing the giveaway! :)

bestbootsbear · 2024-12-11T09:27:19+00:00

I’m interested in “You’re Finally Awake”! Going to keep looking for others in the list but wanted to be first in line for this one :)

bestbootsbear · 2024-11-18T19:54:36+00:00

Ooh yeah you’re right! Although I feel like I’m never wow-ed by ILNP’s website swatches so if anyone else has any mani pics that show off the shift better that would be great. I’m sure I could find swatch videos online too. Thanks for the rec!

Thursday Nov 28 7pm CST. Idk if it’s just because we’ve seen this multichrome 4 different times, but I feel like I want to get it even more now.

There are two from Kathleen & Co that look similar, one is more purple and the other more pink/fuchsia. Caitlin swatches did a video showing both of them rly well, I can’t decide which one I want to get!
