They are absolutely top notch Quality and the easiest to actually extrude that I know (You can hand push PLA thru them at 185 degrees with minimal hand pressure) they come with a small fan and housing that clips over the body and the thing is so efficient that with the nozzle at 235 degs the top of the housing is still cool to touch.

Don't hesitate just buy one they are great.

they is a good review of them Here Page 41 is where you need to start reading.

Thank you, Is it still good without using of fan?

As much fan as you can get on it is better. I changed to 40mm fan from the dinky 30mm fan.

I think it's better to say that it's not designed to be used without a fan. The heat would travel up via the metal heatsink and jam up the extruder. Any reason why you would not want to put a fan on?

I want to buy it on aliexpress for $22, without fan. And there is one for $60 on EBay with fan.

you can pretty much use any fan of the similar size, shouldn't cost more than a couple of bucks for a cheap one.

That is not an E3D, and almost certainly won't work. Buy genuine, or buy twice.
