if you buy from scs, then you should probably get lunar. martian is also good but not as fast as lunar. if you want extreme speed go for stardust, but it dosn't last as long.
if you buy from the cubicle, get dnm 37. mystic is also pretty fast, like a cubicle version of martian, and it also makes your cube smoother than martian does

Best speed lube combo from SCS: Lunar and Stardust combined.

I am looking for a new cube lube. I am trying to make my Yuxin Little Magic 3x3 a little faster and I am currently looking at different types. Which one should I get?

What I just said.

is it possible to make cube lube with house hold items?

Maybe, if you tried to replicate properties that were in lubes you had in mind, and figured out what household products had those similar properties, but for different purposes.

Is there a fast, controllable lube option for the gan 11 m pro with TheCubicle lubricants, thank you in advance.

 

[thetedbeaux]

i personally prefer DNM-37, its good to use about 3-4 drops (unlike the packaging says), if you use more than that, it feels a little gummy/slow

What core lube should I use for the springs? I have weight 5, weight 3, and should I lube the tracks with angstrom dignitas or gravitas?

 

[thetedbeaux]

honestly, i dont normally use those lubes ( im broke), but a cheap lube that i do like is Gan magic on amazon (i know).
It is pretty fast but can get gummy and slow if you go over 1-2 drops.
overall, a good core lube, in my opinion is gan magic

 

[Luke Solves Cubes]

ill try it

 

[thetedbeaux]

cool, thank you for listening to my opinion

 

[Luke Solves Cubes]

it works nice. I had to lube it with some mystic to make it faster, but overall it was a very smooth and controllable option for core lube

Found a great setup for fast cubes! Keep them on tight tensions and put traxass 50k on the corner stalk, then put Martian on the actual piece. Keeps the smooth feel and slows it down(imo traxass changes the feel too much)

 

[thetedbeaux]

cool, thank you for the advice

Weight 5 in the core, Gravitas on the tracks, and Dignitas on the actual piece. Then to top it all off, some DNM-37.

 

[Luke Solves Cubes]

I tried it and I loved it. It feels fast while still being smooth and controllable.
