Anyone else have problems with aftermarket AD5X Nozzles?

So I just wanted to make sure it's not just me. I took the shortcut and have bought $10 versions of the .4 AD5x nozzles on AliExpress and Amazon. HzdaDeve is one of the brands and HysiPrui is another one. I've gotten replacements because the tips have blown off only for the new ones to blow off, and I just had one that has a wierd "slow leak" that is getting filament all over the hotend. They all seem to have good reviews but I guess are trash. I use Basic PETG only, 80ms on outer walls, 120 on infill. I just ordered 4 official ones from the flashforge store (20% off right now) and hope I have less problems. I've used the HzdaDeve build plates and a hotend with no problem, but the nozzles seem to either be inconsistent or I'm just unlucky.
