Will 19mm slim pads fit the original 888? I’ve searched but can’t find anything… ---

Yes they will. Some sites even list those pads as “888 size,” or at least they used to anyway. ---

I’ve had one for a few years (first run, first batch, meaning no yyf premium logo in the cup) and I’ve never used anything but flowable in it. ---

I’ve had one for a few years (first run, first batch, meaning no yyf premium logo in the cup) and I’ve never used anything but flowable in it. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. Mine doesn’t look like it will take sili. It’s a very old special edition for the yoyo store formerly in Maui. I was under the impression is was stock except for the logo. ---
