Which one do I buy?

vs genuine JBC CD-B: a tenth the price for a large share of the heat-in-a-hurry experience; the JBC buys longevity, consistency and support. vs Sugon T36 / Jabe UD-1200: same class, pick by current pricing and handle preference.

The tips you'll actually be buying

JBC C245 cartridges — The general-purpose JBC cartridge (T245 handle) — the workhorse format. Fits: JBC CD-B and 245-handle stations; Aixun T3A; Sugon T36; Jabe UD-1200; most 'JBC-compatible' clone stations and handles (Aifen, KNOKOO...). Not interchangeable with C210/C115 handles (different geometry and power class). Full compatibility matrix →

Counterfeit check

Medium counterfeit risk. The station is openly a JBC-compatible design; the variable is the bundled cartridges (clone C245s vary — some test 'exactly as original', some don't). Genuine JBC cartridges fit if a clone tip disappoints. Tip-family note: Genuine C245s from marketplaces are a live counterfeit concern (EEVblog, Jan 2026); clone C245s range from 'tests identical to original' to junk — buy genuine from authorized channels for daily drivers, clones for occasional shapes.
