What is/are your main speedcube(s)?

AAARGGGG a bud broke my godly storebought 3 months ago... I have 12 friggin 3x3 DIYs, including Guhong, FII, Memory, and nothing feels good enough!! T_T Using a decent old Type D at the moment until something extraordinary happens again.
 
None of those work for you?!

Thats the thing, no!! My old cube was so fast right out the package, a lil' no-name dollarama silicone made it even smoother, and finally a good dose of vaseline+white lithium grease mix made it magnificent. Coefficient of static friction was pretty high, but kinetic friction was ridiculously low. Perfect for my turning style: max 30 degree corner cuts needed, almost no stopping during a solve, sometimes rough in LL, but I never managed to pop it. The guilty friend bought me a guhong, which was one of THE crappiest.
I dunno, maybe I'm just lubing the DIYs the wrong way. But geez, you'd expect at least a couple in 12 different types to be good. I'll try lubix guhong if they ever return.

I think it IS the lube. Use CRC or Jigaloo. Maru Lube or Lubix if you can!
 
I've got 2 bottles of CRC, 1 regular jigaloo (orange/black bottle), 1 jigaloo white lithium grease. Ok improvements to the cubes after CRC, haven't tried regular jigaloo since it killed my mom's 1980 arxon =_=. Surprisingly, the type D I am using atm is unlubed and it's the best of the lot. I like a viscous layer between cubies, feels smooth n creamy. CRC makes it fast but it feels so dry. =/

Use Jigaloo in the newer cubes. They work especially well in the DaYan products I've used.
