what's the difference, if any, between the micro crystals and the ultra micro crystals? please&thanks!

I never used the ultra micro crystals. I was satisfied with the micro crystals and wouldn't have changed unless the micro crystals hadn't been available. Maybe the answer is on the packaging. If there is a significant cost difference I would be less likely to pay more for the product unless it lasted longer.

My advice--do NOT buy the Ultra Micro Crystals!!! It is a very dusty litter and after the cats use the litter box, the tiny crystals go everywhere on the floor and the particles are so tiny, it is one big hassle to clean up! Plus, I worried about all that dust going in my lungs and also my cats' lungs. Just go with the Ultra Pearls, which is just fine.

Ultra is more cumbersome and harder to charge. One is more streamlined and more enjoyable to operate!!

I believe the ultra is just the newest one to come out. I have had both. No difference I could tell

I use Ultrafire (from China) and Panasonic (from Japan) in a number of flashlights. I have charged all of them at least 10 times each, and can't really tell any difference between them. They all charge within 12 hours, pretty slow, but hold the charge for a long time; I'm talking about many months if you're not using them. Hope this helps.

The difference I see is the blue ones have a "high rate" added to the description. I think that means it can be charged faster in a more heavy duty charger or that you can put loads on them that pull more current. I use these in a Mag-lite 3 cell led flashlight. I use it a lot. I may charge it once a month if I think about it. I have yet to ever run the batteries down. I went three months once between charges. Also, don't expect a cheap charger to charge these overnight. I got the Tenergy T-9688 and it charges pretty quickly. Others struggle with it.

It actually doesn't take a lot of crystals at all. Follow the amts. on the bag that should be just fine or even a little less. They have been working great for me.

The current incarnation of the Micro also has the retractable USB port. That said, the part about ruggedness is apparently true. Also, the Titanium has a great blue LED and the Micro has a somewhat unusual orange/amber one - not a big deal but I would have preferred the blue. Maybe when there's a 4GB Titanium to match my Micro - or maybe even 8GB or more! - I'll make the switch. :)

Sorry that I don't know. I returned the micro without even opening the box because my old micro came back to life before the new one arrived. The seller was most understanding and waived all related return charges.

That will indeed work OK, but if you look at the sheer volume of reviews Just the Crystals seems to be the preferred crystal of choice. They are the correct size and come in pre-measured bags, so typically work better and last longer.

The ultra is softer with a little better absorbency This one kind of feels and smells like cardboard but it's all natural so better for not having any chemicals added. I use both and even mix them sometimes (:

I purchased both and there was no discernible difference between the two. Also, if you are looking for a way to make a less expensive facial scrub, then don't bother because the crystals are so fine that you barely notice them. The particle size is nearly as fine as popcorn salt, which may be fine for the intended use, but not for my money saving experiment gone wrong.

I agree with a prior answer that the primary difference is the fabric itself. The Ultra Micro Plush is knitted with a triple rib pattern that is more attractive and the Luxury microfleece is 'plush' and smooth. I bought the Ultra with the ribbed pattern as a gift for a relative. I felt it looked more expensive and would probably retain its looks longer than the smooth 'plush'.

Ultra Fine did it for me. You can also strop after Ultra for an even finer edge! BTW go very easily w/ the Ultra Fine stones. It does not require many passes per side and with very light pressure.

You can actually find some good info in this regard at the Just the Crystals website. These aren't the superfine (nearly sand-like quality) you'll get in with the Mimi Crystals from Walmart, but are slightly larger grain. We've found that there's a balance between size and texture in terms of best absorbency and what works (as in most people's experience with the cheaper, very chunky brands). Absorbency is also measurable -- and these have the highest ml/g absorbency ration available (hence why they are "premium" branded). Most of this info can be found at my website, but please don't hesitate to contact me directly via the contact info there if I can personally answer any questions -- always here to help! Rick

It says it has 33 mg elemental magnesium per 1 ml on the regular bottle and it says it has 20 mg elemental magnesium with 70 mg MSM per 1 ml on the ultra bottle. I can't tell any difference in the way it feels or absorbs.

The differences between the two are that the Ultra is white or colored and it a little softer that the Natural. The natural is gray or tan and is a little less soft. Both work equally well at absorbing fluid. Its less expensive than the Ultra and with my two bunnies I go through a lot of it.
