I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

I kinda regret buying my 3d printer. Not because it sucks, it's more because it reminds me I don't have any free time to do something this time consuming.

Another one is the cast iron wok. I love my cast iron pans, but the wok is just to damn heavy and it you can't really use it like one would use a normal lightweight wok.

I think most traditional woks are carbon steel, seasoned similarly to a cast iron but much lighter. You could give that a try?

Yeah I asked my family for a wok a few years ago and got this beautiful one that was cast iron and way too heavy. I ended up getting a carbon steel one which was about a third the weight
