Help! Type C core questions

[CubeFreak122]

Just got a glow in the dark type c from puzzleproz on ebay but have a few questions about the core.
1. Is it easier to pop than the type a?
2. I've seen pictures where the core is actually grey but I got mine glow in the dark, is this okay?
3. Is it smoother than type a?
any answers appreciated thx

Compared to a type A it:

- Rarely pops
- Cut corners worse but not too much
- Turns wayyyy faster
- Locks up somewhat more, but doesnt matter too much if you dont suck at turning.
- Crispier
- Less smooth
- The sound it makes when turning is nicer (I like the shracka-shracka of it)
- Yeah thats pretty much it.
- Pie > Cake?

thx but i still need the answer to number 2
also is it true that lubing it with silicone melts the small washers?
I heard it does with jig-a-loo but didn't hear anything about CRC silicone

My type C is very smooth right after lube.

Yes your core is okay and throw the small washers away, they suck.

The color of your core has nothing to do with how good it is. You're fine.

That... sounds like a type D. How is the C different from the D?

Type C slots nicely in between D and A.
It is smoother than A, but not as smooth as D.
It cuts corners better than D, but not as good as A.
It locks up less than D, but locks up more than A.
It is cheaper than A, but more expensive than D.

I think that is the difference.

Not as smooth, more choppy. Pops a bit, but just use an old A core.
