One-Answer Lube Thread

[Jam88]

SCS lube sucks. It doesn't last and it does not meet cubicle's standards. Lube is one of the big reasons I am with the cubicle

yes

i just got Lunar and its wayy better than weight 3

I find the cubelelo lubes to be very good.

I use Cubelelo Velocity and Cubelelo Swift lubes a lot. They are much cheaper than the DNM and other premium lubes available in the market.

Weight 3 is not a cubicle premium lube, it is supposed to be a cheaper basic silicone lube. Of course matrian is better. Get Lubicle Speedy or DNM37 and compare to that. Results will shock you

I have tried Cubelelo Lube once at a comp, I put it in my clean MoFang Jiaoshi and it did not last long with meh preformance. Equivalent to SCS lube if not worse. It is cheap tho.

Cubicle weight 5 arguably is the most important lube, despite being cheap. Other lubes like DNM or Silk are useful as well but to the same extent

is is an awesome beginner lube. can do a bit of everything. My only problem is that it comes in a syringe. I hate syringes especially when I have to fit all my cubing stuff in 2 small boxes

If you had to get a single lube to speed up and smoothen your cube, what would it be?

traxxas 50k / weight 5.


any thoughts on using angstrom gravitas as spring lube? good idea? bad idea?

I don't have gravitas but from what I've heard it basically does the same thing as weight 5 / traxxas on the core, so you might as well use weight 5 / traxxas because it's cheaper

And in my opinion, easier to use

it's not the same consistency tho. gravitas sticks a lot more and is more like a gel than a thick liquid.

Speaking from experience, it’s really nice for adding extra control, and really smoothes out the turns

for the core??

 

[Sub1Hour]

for the core??

It's not worth it for the core, its not much better in the core compared to 50k, but if you really want something thats specially made for the core get lubicle black or maybe even some super heavy duty traxxas like 100k (the heavyest ive ever used is 50k and I'm not quite sure how much longer the super high weight diff oils like 100k or 500k last compared to 50k, so proceed with caution)

 

[PetrusQuber]

for the core??

No sorry, I mean the track lol.
It works fine as a core lube though, imo as long as you get something thick all core lubes are the same lol

I'm thinking of cleaning out my cube since it has gotten really dirty, and I don't have Weight 2 at the moment. Also, I would like to speed up my cube. But since Cubelelo doesn't have water-based lubes like DNM, I'm going to have to get third party. Which ones do you recommend? I'm thinking of QiYi M1. Are there any other options beside M1?

You don't need water-based lube to speed up a cube. Any low viscosity lubricant should do the trick.

 

[SH03L4C3]

im thinking of trying DNM, my first water based.
Will it last long in texas weather or should I avoid it and just get lubicle speedy?

 

[PetrusQuber]

How hot is it in texas?

Should be ok. Why the wyoming one though?
Do you really need to speed up your cube btw?
