Hi

I just bought a set a jazz d'aquisto strings and bang the E string broke when i put it. I tried to do it carefully and its the first time this kind of thing happen. Installing another set i realised that other strings were not strong enough to handle the regular tension.
I was pretty pissed to pay 10 + for this set.
Am i the only one to experience this problem and what is the reputation of D'aquisto flat wound strings? Is it related to some oxydation since the package is not properly sealed ?
 
Are the strings still nice and shiny when you removed them from the packet?
If so, then theres no oxidation yet.

You might want to check your saddles for rust. Also, try putting some vaseline on the saddles and any contact points between string/nut/saddle
