Thanks! So by lubing it the corners will stay in place and not wiggle around?

yes kind of,
by lubing the corners you will not notice the fact that a corner is slightly different, because it is irrelevant. Cos the cube will be much smoother and when you wiggle one corner the edges around it will also move.

Ghosthand II problems

I just got my Orange GhostHand II in the mail and it SUCKS! It always pops and locksup pretty much every other turn, I have tried lubing it and adjusting the tensions... WHAT DO I DO!?!?!?!?! HELP!!!!

 

[sellingseals]

The easy answer is to buy something other than a ghost hand. There are so many good cubes out that you can get for super cheap. Why did you bother with a ghost hand?

 

[lukespeedsolve]

get a fanshi because it doesnt pop

 

[PotatoVlogz]

I heard that it was good and my favorite colour is orange, it was supposed to be an orange coloured cube but it is peach -_-

do you recommend a dayan? Right now I am using a pillowed V cube

 

[porkynator]

Lockup is normal for that cube (I have some of them, I bought them for multi), but pop is strange... maybe you should tighten it. Don't try to prevent it from lockup, it's just impossible. It's a cheap cube, don't expect it to be comparable to top cubes.

 

[KongShou]

i would recommend a weilong

I know it is just frustrating when it locks up in between a solve. When I got it the red side was like SUPER loose and it pretty much exploded. Do you like yours?

 

[porkynator]

Yes, they were worth their price. But they were better tensioned I think, I didn't have any pop problem

Moyu WeiLong problems

Two centers of my Weilong broke. Now it is unusable. I tried to fix it with superglu but i failed.

It broke on the bottom of the piece, where the scrue gets into the core.

Does anyone has the same problem or knows how to avoid it?

Contact the place you bought it from and see if you can get some replacement pieces.

Also, use spell check.

 

[muFFube]

I contacted the place where i bought it and they sent me replacement pieces.

Could it maybe be because i tensioned it to hard?

Oh, you broke the pieces? Maybe you might have set it too tight. when I pull my center away from the core, there's just a small amount of the screw showing.

I have about 20 3x3 and i never had something like this. The tensions on the Weilong were about the same as on the others.

I was just interested if other people have the same problem.

 

[ScottTheCuber]

So they will send you center caps right!

 

[muFFube]

Yes, they will send me 3 new center pieces

I also ordered a new Weilong as a backup.
