you’ve checked it with you’re finger and it vibes again after you’ve smoothed the vibe out with your finger. Just to make sure it’s not throw vibe. ---

No. You should try to unscrew your yoyos as little as possible. ---

Use teflon tape and wrap it around the axle Or use blue loctite. ---

Unscrewing yoyos can cause problems. You can cross thread it, over tighten it, and even strip the axle. You should attempt to unscrew your yoyo as little as possible. The axles are made of steel, which is harder than aluminum. Sometimes, the steel axle can shave of tiny bits of aluminum in the yoyo’s threads, which can cause vibe. The finger test is where you throw the yoyo, and put your finger to it. On a smooth yoyo, this will eliminate any vibe caused by your throw. You can use this to determine if your yoyo has vibe. ---

Jeez, this whole “don’t unscrew your yoyo” thing has gotten a bit out of hand. I never heard of this in my 15 years of yoyoing up until a couple of weeks ago… Are you kids really so careless as stripping threads, crossthreading and over-tightening are that much of an issue??? ---

It’s become a really big thing lately but I think it’s just people not knowing how to properly take care of their throws since in my 7 years of throwing and owning yoyos I’ve yet to strip one ---

That’s not the issue. The issue is that I’m too lazy to tune things.
