As long as these work with the original tips that would be a cheap option indeed. As you might have guessed, I put more value in the tips than in the handpiece. I doubt they can put chips in tips that only make them work in the original handpieces
I just came across a new KSGER station that supposedly is now being manufactured with proper grounding....https://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/STC-V2-3-Station/1100968111_40000002366814.html
The case grounding isn't the only issue. Other have expressed concern about the routing of the mains voltage traces being in close proximity to the heatsink. See this video at the 6:07 mark:KSGER T12 Mod To Improve Safety That You Can Do - It's Fun! -- John Salthttps://youtu.be/9BnxiF-gQwQ?t=6m7sI don't know if this has been addressed in the new revision.
You can get these T12 stations which are powered by an external power supply and that would remove these concerns. And it would portable in the sense that you could power it with a battery pack, e.g. something like this one:https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802984858329.html
