Tuxing and Vevor from same factory?

So I finally bought a new compressor a year after my first one and I noticed right away that the tags are exactly the same and the Vevor I bought direct from their website and this texting I bought from AliExpress.
Curious is anyone knows more about their manufacturing cuz if all these cheap compressors r made in same factory I will get the best price one instead of paying more for a more well-known name.

I haven't had a vevor item yet that's been a turd.
I put my $120 turd compressor through a lot of work every week I feel a 2 L tank twice a week and a couple guns that both have 300 cc tanks. And I've been doing this for 8 months now after about 6 months I regreased the crank just to try to keep it going longer so they can be good you just got it take care of them I never let mine go past 45 degrees Celsius

I just blew the mosfets out of the power supply on mine yesterday, but it snot a vevor. Doing the no no and topping up a 78 cf scba. That was my backup compressor. It still works on 12v tho.

I would be willing to place high stakes that many more than just these 2 come out of the same factory.
There's generally a couple factories making parts of varying quality and final assembly trim Ime, if not 1 factory making "industrial. Lego components" . The paint schemes tell a lot of the story. I was looking at an "alpha carette" compressor from a vendor here and noticed the paint scheme. Found it was made by tuxing and started to explore their site and ended up with a 4 cylinder monster for the same price Instead. Now I can fill scbas willy nilly in a few minutes.

As for budget orange Shoebox clones, my buddies twisted off the motor shaft, mine arc flashed in the power supply yesterday... A mosfet failed short. Other than that they've been a value for the price overall. Mine still works.

You can use a 300-350w for most shoebox conpressors that is as a replacement power supply. Most of us have an old desktop PC laying around. I use them to test car audio components all the time. Gotta jump 1 wire on the 24pin and then use the sata/molex power wires. I always cut two + & -'s and double em up to reduce resistance from wire getting hot.

Recently watched a marketing video from Topa Manufacturing, a PCP filling parts provider, regarding their HPA handpumps. Stated they're able to place customer labels on pumps and ship in unmarked boxes to be labelled by seller. Suspect a high-end airgun dealer and a budget one would price these identical pumps differently, the high-end customer hoodwinked into paying more for a "superior" handpump. Could be same thing going on here. WM

I have a Vevor I bought in DEC and I don't let mine get above 40 and use it to direct fill my PCPs, I have 3 30min SCBA tanks I keep filled with my GX CS4. The only problem I have had with the Vevor is the pressure gauge lost accuracy.

I had the 47 amp(odd number) that came. With the early cs4 pump I blew up. Plus I Have all sorts of switching supplies for my ham radios and rf amplifiers too. It's my Backup to a tuxing Coltri clone anyways and it was only down for the time I was working.

Check the markings on the boxes and the box construction itself. The chinese have a fingerprint. I believe you're unfortunately very correct.

Do you think it was due to heat? IIRC, MOSFETs have a very low forward bias votage and therefore produce low heat, but heat is still an issue. As you will be aware, those power converters are quite economical online.

It's impressive if the little compressor survives topping up a 78 cf.

I'm interested in hearing others' thoughts on these compressors. I have one under the Nuoge label, like a GX CS1 - external power supply.

Have you, by any chance, compared that electric motor and gear reduction unit to the GX CS2 and CS3?

I bought a Tuxing (GX CS1 clone) that had the gear reduction output shaft snapped off, which sounds like a similar failure. I wish that I had had the energy to pull my CS3 down to compare the motors and gearboxes directly.

Mine had the input thermister fail, and have some on order.

Same exact problem and place

A fun side detail. The same supplier makes carbon bottles for tuxing, several other brands......... Annnnnnd fx as I understand it. The quality on all that I've seen is great, surface finish polish is the only variable I've noticed.
That's understandable with the investment to tool up for these sort of things I think.

Even if they come from the same factory it doesn't mean they are identical. The factory is a specialization. Different brands may have different cost or quality requirements. As an example I'm quoting machine repair parts for a medical customer that is very cost conscious and doesnt want me to debur the parts the way we normally do. Based on the parts on their machine the manufacturer skipped some of the "craftsmanship" that we normally produce and they want to maintain the same cost savings on repair parts. We give all the customers exactly what they are willing to pay for.
