V-Cube 5 or ShengShou 5x5?

 

[n00bcub3r]

Depends, shengshou 5x5- good out of the box, adjustable tensions
V-cube 5x5-terrible out of box, hours of modding+breaking in, no adjustable tensions, but after break in and modding better than shengshou

 

[zmikecuber]

I prefer the ZhanChi over all of them, the LingYun II is crunchy (not like an alpha) and I don't like it. The LunHui is smooth, and it does not pop AT ALL (my ZhanChi has popped twice since I have had it). The ZhanChi is like the GuHong II, better, faster, smoother and less pops.

The same goes for the guy above, get a ZhanChi.

Also, I would just like to ask again, which MasterMagic, CubeTwist or LA?

 

[CRO]

I'd go with LA.

 

[Ryan Jung]

SA?

whats SA?

 

[cubelover111]

should i get a normal zhanchi or zhanchi "cpm" from izovire's store??

 

[CRO]

CPM is better, so..

Which one is more sturdy? Since I solve Roux, I need to do a lot of M moves. Which with my Ghosthand, are really hard. Lots of times only 2 of the 3 slices turn.

Thank you!

Most likely the V-Cube. To get the M layers to turn well, you would need to spend hours modding it + breaking it in with a few hundred solves.

Hmmm, ShengShou it is. (I'm poor)

Is it true that the Rubik's lube is the best lube to use on Type F's? (Does this mean F1 or F2?) Is Jigaloo really bad on Type F's or something? Cause I don't want to order the Rubik's lube by itself, kind of a waste of money.

Also, do type F-1s have smooth or textured stickers? It's the only cube I have so I don't know what type of sticker I should choose for my 4x4.

Type F1 stickers are textured and horrible. They start chipping and peeling on the first few days. If you're looking for stickers, go to www.cubesmith.com
They sell stickers and offer a variety of colours.

Oh, actually I freaking love the Type F1 stickers lol! Does cubesmith have textured stickers or textured tiles only?
Need someone to answer my lube question
