Take it completely apart and find the screw in the core, tighten it if possible. If it is already tightened all the way, how long have you had it? The core may have worn out. Cubes have a lifespan, especially bigcubes. My first set of v-cubes were dead in 6 months of heavy use.

the qj brand 4x4 is at least to my expeirience not better than the mefferts while it does turn better the center pieces break if you turn to hard.
i have had mine for just more than a month and have broken two pieces.

I Think Meffert's is The Best For 444!

I use jigaloo in the first day I have the cube...(maybe just few minutes after i hold it for the first time...)

Is it Loose as in you can rattle the corners/edges? And does it lock up a lot because of it? If so, your jig a loo probably ate your pieces and core to make them smaller.

 

[dueone]

yes there's a lot space in every layer...
i can do U2 with one finger and one turn
every time i solve it my time is spend to make it in the cube shape, cause the inner layer very easily move...

is there anything that have opposite effect from jigaloo?

Yea that "space" you have also happened to my 4x4 after I lubed it. I Ordered a mini qj 4x4 and im NOT going to lube it so it stays tight... Try washing your cube to get all the lube off and see if it is any better.

eastsheen locks up too much...

buy a new one... and don't blame my jig-a-loo for your "kleweran" mefferts...

juan, i have a brand new mini qj, it feels good despite the "dangdut" stickers...

I bought an Eastsheen cause it was cheaper. But if you want to get one get the 'New Mini 4x4 Cube' off of cube4you. Its a mix of eastsheen size and mefferts awesomeness.

 

[luke1984]

Get a QJ brand mini 4x4x4 from Cube4you. They're the same size as eastheen but the mechanism of a meffert's. By far the best 4x4x4 ever.

They are really good. Also I think they're a tad smaller than an eastsheen. and they do get extremely good once broken in. I think the QJ mini 4x4 tops the mefferts and eastsheen. But it is all down to preference.

Could be, but it's not a noticable difference.
The stickers on the cube are of great quality but I don't really like the colors or the reflective layer. I'm going to get some cubesmith stickers for mine.

Mini QJ is awesome, though if it has to be mefferts or eastsheen, obviously mefferts..

 

[aditpatria]

just trying a little experiment...

replacing mini qj core ball with mefferts ball,, the results : meffert with mini qj ball become extremely loose, mini qj with meffert ball become extremely tight...

That works? Very cool. I'm sure you could get good tension if you adjust the screw, but I imagine that it might lock up a lot.

The QJ 4x4 is exactly the same size as eastsheen 4x4.
And the stickers are NOT of great quality..that's what I thought at first...but after few weeks of usage they start peeling like rubik's brand stickers..trust me on this
