That's my problem
During assembly I noticed that I tensioned it too tight, so I loosened just one side. Usually I do the even tensions before assembly.
I was just generally curious because on a 3x3, it's quite easy to see which side needs more tensioning when you pull the cubies apart(I don't tension that way, but still). On 4x4 however, if one side opens up wider as the other ones, I'm never sure if I need to tension that said site or 2 opposite sides next to the one that's loose.

Either way, it's not too bad right now, and I'll probably take it apart for lubing anyway I guess, I'll re-tension it then.

On a sidenote, the screws were like new, people seem to have problems with messed up screws, I guess I got lucky.

You could also diassemble and take only the core, screw it as tight as you can and then start unscrewing each side 1 at a time. When you're around a pennys width the cube should be loose enough to assemble. This will guarantee that the tensions are 100% equal on every single side, unlike with eyeballing the width of a penny.

You shouldnt worry too much about equal tensions, the tensions usually a find a way to even out with breaking in.

I've been using mine for a little while now, but I'm still not liking the speed. Any suggestions for how to get this thing to move faster, maybe more comparable to a ShengShou?

I've currently got mine lubed with Traxxas 30k.

is traxxas 30k good for big cubes ?

Yes, it should work great atleast on 4x4-5x5. It might be a little too viscous for 6x6-7x7 but its worth a shot.

So far I am a little disappointed with the Weisu. When I want to have good corner cutting, I have to loosen it so much that it becomes even more flimsy and unstable than my Modded SS4x4. When I tighten it, it doesn't feel too much more stable and the corner cutting suffers. I'll break it in more in hopes that it gets better, but so far, my SS4x4 is far better.

How many solves have you done?

How many solves have you done?

Something between 30 and 50 so far.

Yeah, do a lot more, because I thought the same at around the 50-70 mark. I'm coming up to 150 sighted + 20 odd 4BLD solves with it and it's starting to feel as good as my SS 4x4x4.

Awesome, I'm definitely sticking with it. I've noticed some improvements from out of the box, so it can only get better. Thanks man!

Sub 20 sec 4x4 solve? By who?

 

[Nilsibert]

I really want to like this cube, but I still have problems with it.. Does anyone have a solution to the middle layer turning by itself? Also I still have that tensioning problem where when I want good corner cutting, the cube is a bit too loose and flimsy. When I tension it tighter, it loses corner cutting(obviously). I don't really want to lube it more again, I heavily overlubed it once.
How many people have it as their main?

 

[LarryLunchmeat]

It's been my main since I got it, and I haven't even touched my SS4 since I got it. I modded my Weisu recently too and it's even better now.
I always get best results with absolutely no lube.

But I thought that the Weisu had that molded into the puzzle.

Not a big one.

I did different things to all 5 different pieces. It was all done with sandpaper and it's super important to wash the pieces afterwards. Otherwise the puzzle turns poorly due to fine cube dust that doesn't come off with normal dry wiping.
