What is the best lubricant? [poll]

[RubikMouse]

I use some local low brand silicon lubricate spray. Only costs me two bucks and I don't even have to lube so often (one a week or longer depending how much I solve)

So it works for me

 

[aronpm]

Hard to choose when half of them are actually the same material

This.

Also, the poll results aren't even going to be anywhere close to valid when most people haven't even tried more than Lubix (*cough pandacuber cough*)

add silicube rush and control. rush is my favorite.

The competition is between Lubix & Silicube

To me, depending on how slippery you want your cube(For me, more slippery = better)the competition is between Lubix & Silicube. I started out with Traxxas 50wt(fast but slightly gummy), then tried Traxxas 30wt(Fast but thin), then tried CRC(Ok but thin) & Jigaloo(almost the same as CRC). Then I tried combining 50wt & 30wt Traxxas in different combinations with varied results since someone said that Lubix was about 35 to 45wt which was pretty good. I finally broke down and bought some Lubix thinking there wasn't going to be that much of a difference but there is, I didn't want to like Lubix but it's better(Viscosity without the 'gummy' unless you overlube) So far the only competition to Lubix is Silicube(Rush), I lubed a couple of Guhong V2's with Lubix & Silicube and when I mixed them up I couldn't tell which one was lubed with Lubix or Silicube. I would love to know what special 'ingredients' are in Silicube & Lubix since I thought all silicones were the same.
P.S. When I say 'thin' I mean 'slippery' yet you feel plastic on plastic(Lubix & Sili feel like you're floating on lube.)

I like Z-Lube, the cube is instantly fast and is never gummy.

Let me know how Z-Lube compares to Lubix & Silicube, I'm always looking for super-slippery!

Well, I not sure how to compare it. The Lubix gives the cube a more gummy, slow feel. But the Z-Lube gives it a very smooth feel. Like nothing at all is holding it back. That's all I have to say.

What is Silicube?

New lube, it's the same as Lubix. E3CubeStore has it.

 

[E3cubestore]

Actually it different viscosities but same base chemical properties as Lubix and Traxxas RC lube.

I personally use 100k wt differential lube. To me it is not as gummy as Lubix.

In Indonesia, they use hair vitamin Ellips. and it is CRAZY good !!!
i bought there 50 'bags', and it might last a year, and costs 2 dollars. and it's very very good

Luckily I haven't had the gummy experience with Lubix(Maybe the cube was overlubed?) yet but I will try Z-Lube soon.

I've only used the Rubik's brand that came with the Do It Yourself 3x3x3 kit. It works great with the cube, but I did try that lube with my Rubik's 4x4x4 and it made the cube worse.

I'm not saying super gummy, but it gives it that slowerish feel. Don't know how else to explain it.

Saw a review on YT, It kind of seems like Maru, don't know if you've tried Maru but how does it compare to that?
