speed cube

Hey guys!
First off I'M GOING TO A CUBING COMPETITION!!!!!!! I'm sooooooo exited!! This is my first one ever! I'm competing in 3x3, 5x5, and maybe pyraminx. Anyway so I have a dayan zanchi and it pops a lot and I'm going to get a new 3x3 which one should i get? Also how much should i practice a day?
thanks guys!!!!
 
http://thecubicle.us/moyu-aolong-p-3201.html. I think you should go with the moyu aolong v2 (link). My first cube was a dayan zanchi and I like the feel of mine more than any other cube. Unfortunetly mine popped a lot to and had pretty crappy corner cutting unless I tightened it but then the turning resistance was just too much. So at the Indiana 2014 I tried a few cubes and out of all of them the aolong stood out, It was fast, unpoppable, corner cut like a dream, and the turning of the cube felt the best after comparing it to my dayan. So I bought one and I love it. Most people tell you not to buy faster cubes until you reach sub 20 because they are too uncontrollable but with my aolong this just isn't the case, its very controllable but also goes plenty faster than I need it to and I average around 18 seconds and have a tps of 12ish (I timed my self doing (R U R' U') 25 times to find my highest tps)

***(The first batch that they shipped was made with the wrong plastic and those were sluggish. If you do decide to buy one make sure its from the newer batches with te correct plastic, the link I gave you sells them but if you buy elsewhere just check to see if its a good one. This is also the source of many bad reviews so check for a "this is from the new batch" before using that review to consider buying one)

Hey guys what cube should i get for oh? i already have regular sized zhanchi guhong v2 and aolong v2, and they are great for 2h, but i want a smaller one for one handed. im thinking mini weilong, mini shuangren, or mini zhanchi. Im open to other options as well
 
What cubes should I get myself for my birthday?

My 20th birthday was yesterday (happy birthday to meeee) and my mom was down here in Arkansas (where I go to school) and unfortunately she didn't get me any cubes, which I expected because I got a Wii U for my birthday early in the summer. But, I have a ton of money left over from last week's allowance and although my boyfriend is coming this weekend, I think I can afford to treat myself by buying a few cubes as late birthday presents. Which ones should I get?

The only one I can think of is the AoSu but of course since these are birthday presents I can't just get one ;).

Depends what you have...

AoLong is ridiculously cheap on Lightake for a month...

Mastermorphix, maybe a WCA puzzle you don't have.

Or do you actually just mean cubes?

I mean puzzles. I don't do WCA so feel free to suggest non-WCA puzzles.

Also, I usually shop from Amazon because my shipping address is different than my billing address and on most stores it ships to the billing address. Are there any other places where I can get it shipped to an address other than my billing address?

Pros and cons of WitTwo, Dayan 2x2, and Lingpo? Thinking of getting Lingpo, I already have Dayan.

Compared to the Dayan, the Lingpo is lighter and feels looser. The edges are sharper and it catches more than the Dayan. I prefer the smooth and tight feel of the Dayan. I can't comment on the WitTwo, yet.
