Heaviest speedcube?

[unirox13]

Hey folks! I just received my c4y 3x3x5 and I must say that it is a heavy little device. It weighs about as much as my 4x4. I know that a lot of people prefer to have a really light 3x3 for speedcubing, but the more I fiddle around with this 3x3x5 the more I like the weight of it. So my question to you is, are c4y cubes known for being heavy? And what is the heaviest 3x3 on the market?

Thanks everyone.

I think c4y gas assisted are heavy. I hear the pieces are solid

Gas assisted. It has the weight and feel of the pieces being polished stones, which is quite heavy.

I do not speak from experience, but I have heard that the Edison is quite heavy

Oh, it is. But it's a good speedcube, and I really am never picky about weight.

Ok, well pardon my newb-ness lol, but what exactly is meant by gas assisted? I mean I reallize that it's the type of cube, bu other than weight how is it different from your standard speedcube?

I think it means it was gas assisted in the production/making of the cube. That is why the pieces are completely solid/filled.

The edison does feel pretty solid...

You can always take your favorite speed cube and fill the inner part of the pieces with a suitable material so it gets heavier.

Something that doesn't melt that is...

Rubik's brand or Edison.

Did you try using ice one time?

Don't a lot of online stores show each puzzle's weight in Grams? that would be the quickest way to find out without touching a cube.

I think the V-cube 7 is by far the heaviest Speed Cube... unless you guys are talking only of 3x3's...

I personally believe the tile cube for c4u is heavy... But also I used the AV a lot before ever using another cube which may have made the tile cube heavier

The heaviest 3x3 would probably be the Rubik's or the C4Y gas assisted cube. I'm going to say gas assisted. I don't think C4Y cubes are known for being heavy.

Thanks so much for all the quick input everyone (and for being polite in answering my newb question, in this thread and others). After reading this thread and watching a lot of reviews on the c4y gas assisted I think I am going to go ahead and get one. Anyone reading this happen to have one (white or black) that they're looking to get rid of? I'd be willing to pay $10ish shipped for a gently used one.

You can get one at speedcubeshop for just about $14.
