I believe the Cloudfly is identical to the Zeekio Vali. If so, one of the best mini yoyos ever imo. I love mine! ---

Been looking to add a G2 Decade to my collection for a long time. Size and specs seemed right up my alley. Never thought I’d actual track down one in this colorway though. So stoked for this! ![1000004582](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/1/8/618613cb69aaf54906d76a58ebd32a4b85e149fa.jpeg) ---

Yep! A lot (not all) of Zeekio’s releases are rebrands of YoYoEmpire, and the Cloudfly and Cloudfly II were released here as the Vali and Vali II. I’m really loving it so far, and it did a great job of filling a niche in my stainless steel collection. Although it wasn’t my intention when making any particular purchase, it’s now a pleasing progression of full-sized-to-micro. ![IMG_3202](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/0/2/d022845b4e2705adb066f7843b8edfe0be828123.jpeg) (Left to right: Yoyoformula Phoenix, Anomaly Euphonius, Dink, Yoyoempire Cloudfly, and ZeekioxHspin Little Evil 2.) ---

Do you have a recommendation for a solid starter yoyo? I’ve been debating buying a handful of k2 Crystals to keep with me so I can give them to kids or new hobbiests locally I run into! I figured the k2 may be best because it’s a cheap plastic model that comes with the both the responsive and unresponsive set ups, I’m loving how kind this community seems to be!

I started a [thread](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/best-maintenance-free-yoyo-to-give-away-to-people/418809) on this, I would say butterfly XT or yyf whip, your choice. Both are responsive, cheap, and stay responsive for 3-4 + hours of straight play. You can add a touch of grease to the bearings so they stay responsive almost indefinitely, but too much makes it play more like a fixed axle. The K2 isn’t bad, but in my experience after a hour or 2 of straight place it plays semi unresponsive because of the flush pads and the lube gets worked out of the bearing. ---
