I’ve just started yoyoing and i use a dv888 tug responsive. it uses YYF CBC Pad large slim. so i’m wondering when the pads wear out can i use flowable silicone or yoyojam o-rings to replace them?

Can, yes, but I suggest trying to get the same response pads it came with if possible. If not, find as close of a substitute as possible.

Flowable would be fine, I run Monkey Snot in my 888 and it’s just as good as slim pads.

I’d vote for silicone as well, I find it a lot more convenient especially if your yoyo collection grows. Never worry about having wrong sized pads again!

ImThatGuyInYourLife: thanks for your advice bro, but i hear that the YYF pads will wear out after couples of week and i come from vietnam so it’s not convinient to order the pads regularly
