I posted here a while ago about how my classic broke in less than a week and the lovely people of this sub recommended more durable versions. I’ve tried a few now and I’m sad to say that I’ve noticed an issue with every one I’ve had rather quickly.

-Classic broke in less than a week

-Rexlax lasted several weeks, but the clear silicone oxidized and now it looks dirty. Some links also got very loose.

-Metallic (not the new release) colour rubs off. I got one for my bday 2 days ago and the colour is already coming off

-Colour changing also lasted several weeks, (less than the relax), but eventually broke as well

I know they are cheaper than other fidgets, but I wish I they would last several months rather than a few weeks. I love the concept, it’s one of the only fidgets I like. I saw someone say they are more gentle with their tangles now which I have kept in mind since getting my new metallic, but the colour is still wearing. I also saw people recommend removing broken links, which I did, but I noticed that the less links there are, the more tension there is and the more likely they are to continue breaking. I’m hoping my new colour changing one lasts longer as I continue to be more gentle. I still love these toys, but it’s frustrating to keep buying them 💔

I’m new to Tangles and was super excited to try them. I got a Classic and have been using it ever since I bought it on Tuesday. It just completely broke on me though; the connecting nub broke off into one of the links.

I’m just wondering if this is normal or if I’ve been overusing it. I see people have multiple Tangles and now I’m wondering if it’s so they can switch between them and not over use. I understand it’s plastic so obviously it’s not the most durable material, but I find it weird that it would break so easily by using it for its intended purpose.

I’m trying to understand the billing system and how distance and hours affect it when using FLEX cars.

Sometimes I’m charged a distance feee and sometimes it’s $0 even if the distance is similar.

Sometimes I’m charged more for less hours too. Does distance raise the cost more than hours?

Here are 2 trips I’m comparing:

Trip A: Tuesday 9:02 PM - Wednesday 12:18 AM. Duration: 3 hr 16 m - $30. Distance: 62 KM - $17.98. Fees: $5.11

Trip B: Saturday 1:14 PM - 5:51 PM. Duration: 4 hr 37 m - $21.38. Distance: 32 KM - $16.32. Fees: $6.66.

Why was my hour charge more for trip A than trip B is it was less time? Is it because I used it past midnight? Why are my distance costs so similar if I did double the distance for Trip A? Why am I sometimes charged no distance? I tried to read the website, but I’m still confused.
