Which one do I buy?

vs Aixun T3A: interchangeable class — compare bundle contents and price on the day. vs JBC: see the T3A entry; the calculus is identical.

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. Same story as all JBC-clones: the station is fine, the bundled cartridges are the variable. Takes genuine C245s. 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.
