[Zain2zMunshi]

Nice review, since I thought the Gans 356 and Moyu Tanglong were similar cubes I compared them

I had this cube since October to get back into speedcubing. Since then, it has popped on me about 5-6 times.

tighten it, it doesn't pop with tight tensions

I think that the cube is a bit too slow...like, i thought that it would be a cube like the aolong but the stability is quite good and over all, it's a medicore cube. My PB yet with this cube is about 14.67 seconds. Not too good, I know...

I am thinking about getting a Tanglong. Is it slower or faster than an Aolong v2?

It's definitely more controllable. With a little bit of Maru I find that I can get it faster than my AoSu but they're both equally fast depending on how you set it up.

Thank you. Very helpful response.

Here is my text review of the Tanglong: http://thegeekcircle.blogspot.com.es/2016/02/mooyu-tanglong-review.html

In short, It is an excellent cube, with slower turning than the AoLong, but the cube is on the whole a lot more controllable.

Do you think I should get this over the Gans 356?

The Gans is currently my main.

I'm wondering if this cube has any major similarities to the Gans.

They are both quite smooth but are very different cubes. The TangLong is much much more controllable out of the box. If you are looking for a different feeling cube that would be it. It is a similar size shape though.

Hi,

Just one question, which one is smoother off the bat?

They are very similar. I would say the 356 is smoother out of the box but that also has to do with eh screws in the pieces making the pieces themselves not resonate as much giving it quieter turning which might make the cube seem smoother as well.

Ok thanks I'll just stick with my Gans 356 for a while.

So I have been researching a lot of cubes, and I found this one to fit my turning style the best, as I have heard from reviews and videos. I was wondering, do you think I should get the Cubicle Premium Tanglong as opposed to the regular tanglong? Because I have no lube. They tension it and mixtures of lube and many people say they are amazing. Do you think the extra money is worth it for the tanglong premium because it lasts longer and may be a better deal seeing that it performs better, and last longer?

Just wondering if anyone has got that cubicle tanglong premium And what they thought about it

Keep in mind the Tanglong is amazing out of the box and lasts around 3 weeks. Then it gets really slow and there is no way to restore it (see other threads where everyone had this problem). Yuexiao is similar but doesn't have the same problem and seems to last forever. Weilong GTS and Gans 356 are both fast but in a different category because they are harder to control.

Wait tanglong doesnt last that long? Why is that exactly??? Even the cubicle premium?

 

[efattah]

I don't think anyone has been able to figure out how/why this happens...

Interstnig, All the reviews show its really good... but I guess there is never a *follow up review* So is there any cubes taht are very similar to the Tanglong? My turning style is very aggresisve, and I can sometimes go to fast and get out of control, so the tanglong seemed perfect for that, any suggestions for other cubes? Basically stable, controllable, and able to account for aggresive turning style

Guoguan Yuexiao is exactly the same size & shape as Tanglong and very similar. It is the best alternative if you liked the Tanglong. However unlike the Tanglong (which is great out of the box) the Yuexiao needs break in and then lubing for it to work well. It comes un-lubed and is dry, scratchy and catchy out of the box.
