[Help Thread] Is my cube / puzzle a dud?

Moyu Weisu Problems

ive been having problems on my weisu. i just cannot find a good balance in the tension. the the cube just seems too loose but the corner cutting is terrible. i was hoping the breaking in process would maybe fix this but im still having the same problems. i would also like to to know this in order to fix the same problem on my fangshi v2

You might have some crooked screws. Try taking the puzzle all the way apart, and re-threading the screws into the core, as straight as you can. If that doesn't help, try changing the springs to stiffer ones.

Some problems with my zhanchi

Hello everybody. My zhanchi was very smooth but a bit slow because probably I had overlubed it. So today I cleaned it up by washing all the pieces and then I relubed it. I spent all the day breaking it in but now it's still very crispy and scratchy, even more then when I got it the first time.
Do you have any suggestions? I think this is the worst thing I've ever made =(
 
OK, I'll do the same thing. Maybe without the lube the plastic becomes smoother due to the friction and then the cube gets faster. Thank you very much.
 
Is my Dayan real?

I got a Dayan from my friend today. It appears to be a Guhong. It is a stickerless 3x3. It has the exact same coloring, same shaped cubies, correct core, and has the dayan logo under each center cap. My only concern is that it does not have the Dayan logo on the white center cap. Is this some sort of diy cube or a replacement cap? I'm fairly certain it's real, but i'd like some feedback.

Sometimes I like to remove the Dayan Logos from my cubes. That might solve the problem.

As far as I know, Fangcuns and Dayans are pretty much the same cube, but different manufacturers. Meaning that Fangcun wont use Dayan's centercaps to make their cubes xD
 
Legit or Not [Speedcube question]

I just bought a rubix cube off ebay as a gift, and it is shipping from china. The title has speedcube in it, so I thought that would be an added bonus, as I just wanted to get a nice stickerless cube. However, it sure doesn't look like one. If any of you can tell me if it is legit or not, that would be greatly appreciated. The link to the eBay page is here: bit.ly/1grtv2i
 
Do you not get this picture. (I'm on my phone which may have messed up the link)

Looks like it will just be a cheap cube. From the pictures, at least it will be tensionable. There does appear to be tiles which is interesting.
Post pics of the internals and stuff when you get it?
