Hi. I have a question about the payment. What s the difference between paying by PayPal or by "Winbank Credit Cart Payment". Im from Mexico so my currency is not the Euro and my question is: if I pay by paypal, then will the price be raised? Will this happen with winbank?
Thanks.

I never heard of the winbank thing, so I used PayPal because I already have
a PayPal account. I did get hit with a 2 dollar fee, probably for using
PayPal. You won't have to worry about Euros, because PayPal will convert the cost over to Mexican currency(Pesos??)

Hi, today my black set arrive. I was very surpised after i open the boxes: the cubes come pre-lubeb!! wtf¡¡: when i take the v-5 i noticed that the stickers was very slippery and when i turn the layers, wow, turn very fast and smooth. Then i check the internal faces of the layers and I saw clearly that the cube is overlubricated :mad::mad: The V-6 have the same issue but turns much more stiff than my white one i have :confused::confused:
The V-7 come barely lubeb and turns great but in much loose than my 4 months old white one. ¿What does this mean? ¿Why the cubes come pre-lubed? ¿Why the v-6 is so stiff and the v-7 so loose?

BTW: I turn each layer on my v-5 and v-6 and wipe off the excess of lube (is a wet lube like the shock oil) with a dry towel. Then i do a solve for each and the lube comes out of the cubes!!!!! :mad::mad:

Okay, first of all: Today my white V-Cube Set arrived - Yeah !!! (8 days since order is okay, i guess)

@flakod2: I have exactly the same problem: At first I unboxed my V5 and wondered how nice it turns, seconds later I realised its lubed (:/), but it wasn't too bad, so I thought never mind.
Then I unboxed the V6 and thought: damn, thats slippery; after some turns my hands were really WET and oily:eek:. THIS SUCKS A LOT!!!:mad:
And finally the V7 is the same as yours: I got one about January and eventhough its broken in, its still way tighter than the new one!


Does anyone know what to do?
(I don't really want to disassemble the V6, btw.!)

GermanCube: yes, i´m very impressed with the v-5 and disappointed with the v-6 and 7. The v-7 turns really nice but for my taste is too much loose and, of course, i wonder why this new v-7 come that loose. The v-6 is so stiff but so wet???? wtf. According to panyan this liquid is mold release and inhibits lube (really i dont get what he mean by that).

like you i`m waiting for some help with this cubes.

Maybe this new anniversary sell are "second hand" or not perfect cubes... really hope not!!
 
I think I too am in danger of sounding like "Over-Excited-OMG-OMG-YouTube-Kid" as the UPS tracking of my Black V-Cubes set indicates it is now in my home town (OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG!!!)

When I express my excitement to my wife and kids they respond with "How much have you spent this time?" and "How many of those have you already got?" so you see this forum is my only outlet! :D
 
For all of you who are fretting over the pre-lubed cubes, EVERY single v-cube has come with a slight lubrication. Don't worry about it. Just go on and solving /lube your cube normally, and the slipperyness (if there is any) will go away. No need to wipe down every single piece of a 6x6.
 
Lol seriously, do you really need to ask for advice on what to do if your cube is greasy??? If you don't like it, wipe it down! Deary me stop being a bunch of whiny babies.
 
I have ordered a white v-cube 5 and i think it will arrive in about 3 or 4 days. If anyone in england wants to buy a v-5 then it came to about £25 with postage (fast option which is actually about 70p more expensive)
 
Okay, just to make things clear: the cube isn't just a bit oily, its really wet and unusuable! I didn't want to ask, how to wipe it out (...), but I wanted to say, that I'm really disappointed of the V-Cube company, because if you buy a new cube, you expect it to be nice and clean!

i wth too that people would stop frettng about rubbish

what's the meaning of this ???
 
My email to "V-CUBE_info" <[email protected]>:

"My 2nd V7 came looser than my 1st V7. Pieces near the corner areas of each
5x5 center wobble a bit too much. If I order another set, can I request the
v-5,6,7 be on the "tight" side rather than loose? Then I can work it in
myself."

Response from "V-CUBE_info" <[email protected]>:

"They are supposed to be loose. We can't adjust the core, once the cube has
been assembled. If a piece pops, let us know, then it will be a sign that
the core will need to be adjusted by us.
Thanks"

Who here likes the new tension on the V7? Who thinks it needs to be tighter?
