Thread: Just got a JNat today - any feedback or info?

If you want Iyoto, he is the only person you can get it from. I have no affiliation with 330mate and have paid for any and all stones I've purchased from him. The cool thing is that there are others options available, bashing for the sake of bashing helps no one.

Good point. We don't tolerate vendor bashing on this site. It's not fair to the vendor. As I said in my earlier post, I got two stones from a member here, that bought them off 330mate, and they were fine. No problems. So....YMMV.

It's like anything else, educate yourself, know what your getting, use paypal, and understand the vendors return policy. You'd be surprised how many stones are returned that are actually good. It's just the person using it doesn't know how, or just isn't satisfied.

I think Jnats are the most counterfited stones out there (especially the Kanji), so you do need to be careful.
