Is Jigaloo dead?
Guys, I like an exceptionally slippery cube and I'm partial to Zhanchi's, Guhongs, Lingyun II's. Lubix & Maru dominate lube polls with Traxxis 50cc Differential a close 3rd(What I use) Does that mean that Jigaloo is dead or is there still a use for it especially when it comes to Dayan cubes and if so what?

I use Jig-a-loo for everything. I have no reason for it. I just do it, and it works.

It effects the quality of the plastic, and has become almost obsolete. I still have a two cans.

Probably Lubix and Maru dominate those polls because they are available in every country, unlike jig-a-loo.
But even if it was in every country I get the feeling it has become kind of obsolete.

I still use Jigaloo and CRC, CRC more often though. I've run out of Lubix and Maru lube, so all of my Dayans are lubed with CRC and nothing else. (Lingyun, GuHong, LunHui) Lingyun feels like heaven.

I got tons of silicone oil, but I usually lube my cubes with CRC still, I like the feel the cube gets from it.
Jigaloo isn't available in my country ;-;

I don't use jig-a-loo, never really used it, so I don't know much about it. I do believe, however, that Jig-A-Loo is dead to many people, except maybe to help speed up the breaking in process, as it damages the plastic.
However, I use CRC 808 silicone spray, mainly because I don't have a reason not to. It lasts for quite a while with a 500ml can, and is plastic-safe. This goes to show that just because a lube isn't popular doesn't mean that it isn't useful.

I use jigaloo 
. but that's right before modding a cube, because my blade is dull and can't really cut through reg plastic, so i use jigaloo to make it softer

I still have like half a can of jig-a-loo sitting here, but I would never buy anymore because I feel like it doesnt work as well as the other lubes. Also its kinda messy and harder to apply.

ya i think it is but its way easier to find CRC and its the cheapest and with lubix & maru you will need to find them online the will take like up to 3 days to 3 weeks depending on where you get them also the price of them.

I use Jig-a-loo because it lasts a lot longer than maru lube. I tend to use Jig-a-loo first and then apply maru lube every couple hours or so.

Jigaloo is the only lube I have ever used. But I've only lubed a grand total of 3 cubes (my lunhui, dayan mf8 4x4, and mf8 square-1).

I personally still use jigaloo, but usually only for big cubes.

I don't use it exclusively, which I should've mentioned, but I put around 2 sprays on each side, and then drop either maru lube or lubix in depending on what brand of cube it is.

I recommend Jigaloo on the AlphaV, v5, v6, v7
I try other lubes first, then if I'm still unhappy I go with Jigaloo. It's also good for Alpha 1 but I doubt anyone uses those now a days.

Why don't you think it works as well as other lubes?
Personally, I don't think it works well on 3x3's but anything else, amazing.
Jig-a-loo is not even close to messy, if you have the straw, then it applys like a dream.
In some cubes, you don't even need to take a peice out.

I recently got jigaloo, and I like it alot more than CRC personally. I plan to get shock oil soon though. I dont think that jigaloo is dead, theres just alot of other options that work well too.
