I plan on finally getting a 3x3x(4,5, and 7) and I want to get the special colored ones. Should I get all of the same color, or all three different colors? And What colors? I don't really want blue because I have a blue type F, and I don't believe I will be solving for speed necessarily.
Different colors. Especially for 3x3x5 since the prices (on PopBuying) vary A LOT with color (5$ or so)

I have a quite new V-Cube 7 white. The original lube in it sucks. I love jigaloo. I solve my V7 around 8 times now.
1-Should I give the cube time before relubing?
2-Should I put vaseline and/or dust in it for a day or two?
3-Should I clean the old lube off the cube before putting Jig-A-Loo in it?
4-Does it really make a difference on the V7 if I take it apart for lubing? (I do it with new 3x3x3 or when it's been a while since I've lubed it, but the V7 will be a pain to reassemble).
5-If I have to disassemble it, can I make little and simple mods to make it better?
6-Making a adjustable core is worth it? (Don't forget that my PB as of now is 19 minutes, so I'm no way near a beast at this).
7- Am I the only that after I finish solving the V7, all normal cubes feel curved ''the opposite way'' (concave in french) '''''''antipillowed'''''?
It's concave in english also
1-Yes. Break it in for a week or two.
2-Never put vasaline. Put back in your bathroom and use it on your lips.
3-Give it some time and the lube will wear off. Or Mod it to wear it off faster.
4-Not really. But if you're using Jigaloo, just take a portion off the cube (one edgey piece or something) and spray a few squirts. Do that to a few other sides of the cube.
5-You better know what you're doing.
6-Not yet. Looking at your questions, you haven't broken in your V 7 yet. So not yet.
7-Maybe. After solving my V6 and starting a solve on 3x3, I have to readapt to the buldgy pieces.
Looking for a good skewb that isn't too expensive. I purchased one from ebay, but I am less than enthusiastic about the quality.
Also, what is a decent time for skewb? I just learned how to solve it today... my times are hovering between :45 and 1:30. I suppose I learned the "beginner's" method, but I haven't been able to find anything about an advanced method.
I forgot OLL1 because I learned OLL32, and they have a similar start, also I think 1 is pretty rare, Annnnd I practiced 32 a lot.
You should read the regulations too. The solution must not be related in any way to the scramble. Which means that you can't just write the scramble backwards and submit it, you must find your own soution, and be able to explain it in case of doubt.
