Since I’m new to yoyos and going though all the post on strings and what not I kept reading just to try out a bunch of different brands and strings so since I had the money and I have been learning a lot of stuff now since I have a lot of down time during. Work I place 2 big orders from yoyoexpert a few people have told me that I was crazy for for ordering sooo much what do you guys think ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/b/3/eb3b94741e5fc538b21e2997094a5d92c14e5478.jpeg) ---

> [@Mikers](#): > > Can’t have too much, you’ll run out faster than you think. Unless your changing your string every 10 minutes of play 500+ strings will last a very long time. OP - Id say that much string would last 1-2 years even if you change string fairly frequently. But I’m confused about one thing… If your looking to just sample different types of string why did you buy multiple 100 packs and multiple 10 packs of the same type of strings? 😃 I see 3 100 packs of kitty, 6 tubes of venom, 3 tubes of ammo, 5 10 packs of type X, and 4 packs of twisted string. Instead you could’ve bought a 10 pack of all of those strings and then probably 10 more different types of strings offered at YYE ---

as a habit I usually order a 100 pack at least whenever I buy yoyos, my last order I ordered sum kitty xl to try fatter string and some cheap 100pack poly, I still have about 150-200 strings that i haven’t used but half of them are extra long 50/50, the 50/50 doesn’t work as good for whips or slacks, and I know i will need more soon… Since i am paying shipping on it I might as well get some string supply, Most of my yoyos are tuned for normal width string, but on my next order I will probably try out a 100pk of skinny kitty string so i have a variety of widths to mess with extra string is usually a welcomed gift to those in need that run out too, I also change my string often worn out fuzzy strings just feel bad to me. ---

Phwoaaar, look at all that YYSL… it’s an absolute feast of string. _drools_ How long they last obviously depends on how quickly you go through string. We don’t get much hot weather over here, nor much humidity, so one Ammo/Venom can last me for ages. At any rate, it never hurts to have too much. You can’t yoyo without string. ;D ---

That’s a lot of string, you’re a lot more organized than I am. I only use the black string, so when I get a new yo-yo, I put all the other colored stock strings in an empty mystery box. I dumped out the box and that’s what you see as the pile in the middle.

> [@Lseda3984](#): > > TA why don’t you use the stock I use the stock string till it dies which is a few days for me It is actually good, especially the YoyoFactory string (the green or blue/white colors you see are mostly theirs). Also, the C3yoyodesign and CLYW stock string is in the pile, in yellow. I don’t use them because it’s just not my preferred color. There’s nothing wrong with it at all, it’s all great string. At the top, you’ll even see some plastic bags of rainbow colored string from Magic Yoyos. I don’t own any Magic Yoyos anymore, but I get their string free with BST deals and have some left from the few I bought in the past. It’s really a pretty cool assortment, I just haven’t tried them. If there is ever a shortage of black on the market, I’ll dive into the pile. It’s like the box I’ll break open in case of emergency. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/a/2/6a26bc18c8a81945758ba64229c19bbd2a6e3d78.jpeg) But, for now, I will be using that lump of black Kitty on the left and the black YYSL on the right. :wink: [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/too-much-string/70020.md?page=2)
