if this stuff is worth the money, I'm in

The_Ed · 03 Jan 2013, 06:25

Just need 4 more people and I'll order some. I like my 205, but I think I would like 200 better as it is less viscous in the spec sheets.

Ian S · 03 Jan 2013, 10:59

If you're buying it specially, isn't 103 the one to get? Or is that not available?

The_Ed · 03 Jan 2013, 12:18

100-107 are oils and I would NOT recommend them for use in MX switches as they run out of the switches. 200-207 are greases that stay where you put them. Just because some Koreans like 103 doesn't mean it's the best one. I am specifically looking to get some 2 ounce tubes of Krytox 200, and none of the other ones at this point in time.

Icarium · 03 Jan 2013, 12:32

I'm interested. Can we also buy the 100 stuff for the same quota? In that case I could take two.

rindorbrot · 03 Jan 2013, 13:36

I'd be interested, too.

Ian S · 03 Jan 2013, 16:42

My concern also was that the oil would run out of the switch. However grease tends to wipe away from the rubbing faces and stay away whereas oil may creep back onto the bearing faces. Grease may 'squelch' at the ends of the switch travel and it's viscosity may be detectable by finger tips though the MX switches are quite lose. I've used thicker grease instead of oil on tighter tolerance parts and had to take it off as it stopped the parts sliding.

I'll watch with interest for the results of your experiment

The_Ed · 04 Jan 2013, 02:02

Alright so that's Me, mintberryminuscrunch, Icarium, and rindorbrot. We just need 2 more people now.

This groupbuy is just for 200 right now. If it is successful you might be able to persuade me to get some others.

The oils won't 'creep' back up onto the sides of the switches. I tried 106 in my sticking cruise control and it ran through the entire steering wheel and came out a seam in the bottom. My hands then distributed it all over the wheel and it has been sticky all year as every hot day a little bit more came out... I will only use the greases now as they have (so far) stayed where I put them. 205 feels a lot better than 100 and 106 as well, and I expect 200 to be even better.

You don't have to watch for the results of this 'experiment', you could be a part of it.

pasph · 04 Jan 2013, 02:06

I'm in

webwit · 04 Jan 2013, 02:07

Me too.

The_Ed · 04 Jan 2013, 02:13

Acanthophis · 04 Jan 2013, 02:53

Still a spot open for me?

The_Ed · 04 Jan 2013, 02:57

Of course, I'll order however many people want.

Acanthophis · 04 Jan 2013, 02:59

Great, put me up, please.

The_Ed · 04 Jan 2013, 03:03

I already did up in the OP. I can just imagine the post office now... "Are there any liquids, perishables, or hazardous materials inside?" - "Uhhh... No..."

webwit · 04 Jan 2013, 03:08

Just blush and say there's lubricant in there.

The_Ed · 04 Jan 2013, 03:13

Not gonna happen... Plus my face is always slightly red, especially when I'm thinking, frustrated, gaming, or taking a shit.

TheProfosist · 04 Jan 2013, 23:21

Add me to the list plz

Done.

if possible, please order one Krytox GPL 200 for me as well! That would be great, thank you!

Kind regards

Also done.

The_Ed · 04 Jan 2013, 23:55

...I just realized that some people might have to pay up front as it might end up being over $500 in lube soon...

damorgue · 05 Jan 2013, 00:02

I can see the paypal dispute now:
-So why did you get all these payments?
-I was going to share lubrication.
-?

The_Ed · 05 Jan 2013, 00:05

Why would there be a paypal dispute if everyone pays as goods? It's when people pay as gift that there are disputes.

mintberryminuscrunch · 05 Jan 2013, 17:10

I think he was joking
just do prepayments as usual

The_Ed · 06 Jan 2013, 05:49

2 more days 'till the cutoff on the 7th when I ask for an invoice. After I get the invoice I'll divide the original shipping to me among the orders and add on the shipping to your respective countries before having you all pay.

EDIT: Upon looking at where you're all from it is almost exclusively Germany

jcrouse · 06 Jan 2013, 07:44

Please count me in for a quantity of one also.

Thanks,
John

TheGrey · 06 Jan 2013, 16:01

Count me in for one. I'm assuming this is gonna be the bees knees.

The_Ed · 07 Jan 2013, 00:10

You've both been added. Only 1 day left people, don't miss your chance.

Index · 07 Jan 2013, 08:22

I'm in for 2 =).

mintberryminuscrunch · 07 Jan 2013, 09:57

how are you going to do it.
two rounds of payment?( first item, second taxes and shipping)
