QJ tiled 4x4 vs mini QJ 4x4

[kooixh]

which of these cubes is better the tiled 4x4 or mini QJ?

 

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

I prefer the tiled QJ, but I'm getting a mini QJ to practice with. I want to see how good it really is, so far I haven't been able to sub 1:15 with my friends' mini QJ.

Down to basics, people say mini's are better because of the sped-up 3x3 part.
I still love Mefferts though xD

I own a full sized QJ 4x4 with tiles and it is really good and worth the money. But I have ordered two (one black, one white) 6cm mini QJ 4x4's from popbuying.com .

And until they arrive, I really do not know.

But I have heard from others thay are better. I think it is because of the size. I still use my two 6cm Eastsheen 4x4's alot. So a 6cm Eastsheen 4x4 cube that can cut corners well is the idea behing the QJ mini 6cm 4x4 cube.

I also ordered a screw/spring 2x2 from them as well in the same order.

I prefer tiled to mini, as mini is too tight. Insert dvorak apology here.

I personally prefer the mini QJ, after a lot of breaking in and lubing it it's amazing!

 

[daniel0731ex]

yeah the mini QJ really need some breaking in. the inner layer is really bumpy at firs, but after breaking it begins to have a nice gummy, control-able feel

The Mini QJ is nice once you break it in/lube it a bunch, but I'm planning on purchasing the tiled version because I've simply found it's a lot faster, locks up less, and glides incredibly well. I got the Mini because of how nice and small it was, but the tiled version is just so much better, it really compensates for its size. (In case you're wondering, they're both far better than Eastsheen)

Isn't the tiled essentially a Meffert's?

No. Qj made a mefferts copy (Which everyone called "Clefferts") and then they made the mini "Clefferts". So no.

And by everyone you mean monkeydude1313 aka chrisbird, who has since issued a formal recall on use of that name, because it is known to cause cancer in the state of California.

Also, your explanation directly contradicts your conclusion. A tiled QJ IS essentially a Meffert's, arguably with small improvements. You yourself said it is a copy, so yes, it is essentially a Meffert's.

It's just a whole lot better. xD

Yes, I know monkeydude recalled it, but I was saying that everyone (and there was a time in these forums where it was 90%) called it "Clefferts"

I see you're correct about the conclusion. Lol. Thank you =)

(In case you're wondering, they're both far better than Eastsheen)

When my normal sized tiled QJ arrived, it was already broken in and lubed.

But my mini QJ arrived unbroken in and of course unlubed.

I think the mini QJ is better, but I haven't managed to fully break mine in yet. I still haven't managed to use my mini QJ to beat my best avg of 12 which was done on a normal sized tiled QJ :/

Is the mini ball or core structure?

Ball

I actually like Tiled QJ 4x4 over mini QJ. The tiled QJ 4x4 is also easier to find replacement stickers for when I DO replace the tiles.

 

[andrewunz1]

normal size qjs break easy
i was removing tiles to put stickers and one of the centers broke
so i ordered a mini qj so i will see how that one is

Not true, I find that the cubesmith stickers fit better on the mini. If only they made mini mefferts-like tiles...

 

[SaberSlash49]

Really? I didn't know that, I thought the mini QJ wasn't compatible with regular 4x4 stickers.
