[Help Thread] Lubrication Thread

Well I know my GAN RS arrived with a lot of lube and I see a lot of unboxings mentioning how much lube they have to wipe off.
Actually I got the GAN Magic thinking the same but it doesn't make it faster at all, it just helps with the feel and sound and slows it down a bit as it's a thicker consistency :/ I couldn't get the GAN Standard though so I'm curious but I can't imagine it would be better than anything from the Cubicle?

I have a question. What is the best lube for someone in a really dry environment? Where I live it is like less than 10% humidity almost all the time. I have DNM, Silk, Lubicle 1, and the Max lubes and they all wear out extremely quickly and make my cubes gummy and slow. Thanks in advance!

I don't know much about this but I did find this link from cubicle that has really good descriptions of their lubes and some of them mention lasting longer the usual silicone! https://www.thecubicle.com/pages/cubicle-custom-options
 
Do Max lubes work well on Moyu cubes or only on GAN cubes? I'm wondering because on the cubicle's website they only sell GAN cubes with the Max setup. I would want a lube that would smooth out the rough turning of a Moyu cube.

I used MAX lubes on a couple Qiyi cubes, and it worked great, but I'm not sure about Moyu.

I used MAX lubes on my WR M and my RS3M 2020 and it works just fine, as I expected.

What feel does it bring to those cubes?

Also Mystic and DNM (both big bottles), Max Fleet and Max Command with a small bottle of Mystic, or Max Fleet and Max Command with a small bottle of DNM?

Currently I have GAN Magic Lube which I've heard is similar to Silk.

Mystic and DNM but that's just my preference because they are both my favorite lubes

The MAX lubes basically give a fast, smooth feel without any gumminess at all. The one difference is the butteriness that is usually implemented in cubes with these lubes. The RS3M 2020 has an already clacky feel and the MAX lubes don't help as much as it does in GAN or other cubes in terms of the buttery feeling
 
Is it just my cube, or does anybody else's QiYi MS have a lot of white powder, which I'm supposing is lube residue
FYI, I don't have lube, so I can't have lubed it, it must have been factory lube
 
Hmm. I recently bought a pair of MS cubes--one stickered and one stickerless--and I didn't encounter any white residue on either of them. I even took both completely apart and didn't see anything like that. They were, of course, quite slippery though.
