there is a thread in which you can answer a question. a thread is for a discussion, it has a topic, and does not necessarily have an answer, it has opinions. it is a place of discussion.

if it takes you 5+ mins to solve a 5x5, i'm assuming it takes you about 20 mins to solve a 7x7? randomly scrambling the cube would be the best way to go. or, it might take a long time, but about 200 solves will typically make it nice. take the lubricant out of it and put in silicone lubricant spray or anything better than the crap vcube lube. running the cube through the dishwasher is a good way, but it might be necessary to resticker.

the vcubes are not adjustable, so you could also do the memyselfandpi adjustable core mod (just youtube his username). since they are not adjustable and there are minor flaws from the molding process, this is why the cube is tight. much like a storebought cube, the only thing you can do is lube it, and solve it a whole lot. this is called the breaking in period.

please do not make any more threads unless you have something to discuss. otherwise, use the one answer one question thread.
