[Help Thread] Is it better to lube a cube by yourself than buying a premium cube?

[qwr]

Alright so did the joke completely go over your head or are you continuing the joke

Was it a joke? I believe some people could be genuinely this wasteful. Especially newer cubers who don't understand the difference between a pop and a piece breaking.

Is it better? I learned to lube my first speed cube shortly after buying it- I remember being nervous about disassembling it, but all went well. Experimenting with different lubes is all part of the fun of hobby cubing for me. One thing I learned early on is less is more in the lubing process. After buying several different lubes, I have settled on traxxas 50 dnm-37 and max fleet.

Simple answer: Depends.

Long answer: You can buy a 10cc bottle of most lubes for $10, let's say you buy 5 lubes for $50. It would be cheaper if you got the lubes instead of buying a premium setup. It's. Unless you like a feel of a certain set up and can't re-create it. idk man, depends on the cube and what you want to o and how you want it to feel.
