Empathy Empty - vibey and loud

I just received an Empathy/Yoyorecreation Empty (POM). Super excited as it reminds me of dark magic ii and i love the clean aesthetic. However, all I can feel is lots of vibes and the bearing is louder than I’ve seen from yoyorecreation. Feels like something is wrong with the bearing and I may end up switching it out to troubleshoot. Is anyone getting the same thing? Any help on troubleshooting or did I just get unlucky with a bad quality control?

It ‘sounds’ (pun intended) like you got a bad bearing.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a bad bearing. Does it really cause that much vibe if bad? Its as if I had a terrible throw and it’s shaking and can’t even out

not intended, likely if it’s vibing that much the bearing isn’t the issue and rather QC, i’d see if both of the caps are seated properly and if not reach out to where ya bought it from

Why don’t you just try a new one? I’d understand this post if it were something difficult to test yourself but c’mon man.

But anyways if the yoyo is pulsating it is unlikely to be the bearing, if it’s just vibe you feel on the string then it probably is.
