Dayan Guhong v2 problem

[toronto754]

I've been having problems with this cube every since i got it it comes apart at LEAST once every 2 solves and many times 3 or more times in a solve regardless of how much i tighten it unless i tighten it to the points it's very difficult to turn
In all the reviews that i have seen they didn't have this problem and they could cut corners at 45 degrees where as the one i have doesn't cut corners at all it has to be perfectly aligned or it will just explode
Does anyone else have this problem with this cube? Is there some kind of mod that will fix this? I got the cube here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/32089085464...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1679wt_1163



P.S. i am a new speed solver(avg 35 secs) the only other cube i have used is rubik's brand right now i am preferring it and I am disappointed in this cube so it would be great if everyone could recommend cubes for me as well

The only problem I had was when I tensioned the cube too loosely. It didn't pop, but corners twisted/reoriented during fast /sloppy (noobie) turns. Solved with the help of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlumT6dX6K0

are you sure its v2? what color was the box it came in?

 

[CarlBrannen]

The ad says "green box". But why guess, it's easy enough to tell. Does it have torpedoes?

My Guhong 2 came in a yellow box, FWIW. And has purple stickers (but not for much longer!)

guhong v2 doesnt come in a green box.

Isn't that a Zhanchi?
Woah what why is it a green box?

 

[Cubic]

ZhanChi is the DaYan 5 cube. Comes in a purple box.

I love this cube - very light, turns fast, good corner cutting. Although I'm very much a noob, the Zhanchi allows me to improve my times. I'll be buying a couple more.

The GuHong V2 is great too.

It might be that when the company assembled it they forgot to put springs in.

my guhong sucks as well, but what you describe is just crasy. you might want to post a video showing your cube, so we can help you

guhong v2 doesn't come in green boxes. pics please.

 

[Goosly]

It has torpedoes, you tightened it and still it pops? I don't get it.
Pictures or a video would help

Are you an accurate turner

I think it might mean Dayan II 2 as in the 2nd dayan cube not the guhong v2, maybe v1? Just take a picture. Guhong v1 comes in a green box, guhong v2 comes in a yellow box.
Try tensioning and lubing the cube or turn more accurately.
I know that people on ebay and sites similar to ebay like to put dayan 2 guhong or something and people automatically assume it means guhong v2.

The Gu Hong v2 box is yellow, and DOES NOT say v2 on it, anywhere. Sounds like you got ripped off. Next time, order from a well known cube site.

Also, anyone claiming that their Gu Hong sucks, needs to learn how to properly lube and tension the cube, or stick with a simpler cube. The Gu Hong is incredible. I have 7 of them including one v2 and have never had a single problem with them popping or not turning well.

I know that is so true because my friend has had a lot of guhongs that work so well but i currently just got my DIY Guhong V2 and i have assembled it but it doesnt corner cut correctly for some random reason. when i corner cut on the right, the bak top right corner gets stuck on the centre for some random reason. resulting in it only being able to corner cut at about 20 degrees. if u r able to give me some advice i would be very thankful and if anyone else can give me advice, feel free to.

P.S It has been lubed correctly and ive tried tightening and loosening it but it still hasnt changed, PLZ HELP!

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Loosen the screw on that face. If it stays attached that means tension is too tight on that face. So.. loosen it even more

I'm pretty sure they also state Gu Hong+ on the box instead of V2. I would suggest to post photos of cube pieces or video when you solving.
