Got mine yesterday.

I really like it so far even though it's a bit slow out of the box. Did a few solves and already I'm finally motivated to get into 5x5. I'm horrible at turning it but now that I have the motivation to practise I think I'll get better. It's not the cube, that's for sure.

Only weird thing is: I took it apart to properly lube it and noticed that there was only 1 washer in one of the center pieces which is quite weird. Did anyone else have that "problem"? I'm gonna put in washers from a dayan set so it's not a big deal, but still it's strange.

I haven't taken mine apart at all. But I have seen other people report missing a washer or two. I believe there's someone on this forum that was missing 3 washers. Having 5 missing must be... annoying.

And yeah, it's not really a problem... put some lube in there and it can't cause much damage. I feel lucky I already have like 4 extra sets of dayan hardware. Might have to inspect my AoChuang later today.

Yeah it's quite weird having 5 missing, and it makes me wonder how that could happen.. But it's ok, i threw the one away and I'm gonna put in some dayan washers, luckily I have a few full hardware sets as well

I hadn't heard what you said about them making a new version to fix lockups--can you link me to where you read that?

Ok I put washers into all the center pieces and now it turns evenly. The thing is that it's still quite slow. It's the thing where when you turn a layer slowly and lightly, it get's stuck a lot. I hope it's understandable what I mean.
I'm not sure about the lubing; I put weight 1+2 inside the cube(on the pieces, not hardware, I used weight 4 for that) so I'm not sure if I should put in more lube to make it glide better(ahem). Or did I even overlube it? It doesn't feel like overlubed because of the catching or rather braking when turning slowly. I'm not gonna loosen it anymore because it would be too loose, tensions are almost ideal at the moment. Is this just a matter of time and breaking in?

Here is my unboxing! Great cube!

 

[Please Dont Ask]

How many pieces are there in an aochuang?

 

[gokkar]

At the risk of making myself look like a total idiot...I think it's 98, not counting the caps, screws, springs, and washers.

92 pieces around 1 core (not counting caps, screws, springs etc) = 93

The only moyu 5x5s that are out at the moment are the Aochuang and the HuaChang.

 

[Ordway Persyn]
