Ok, I have a small update.
I'm looking for a 2x2, Skewb and Pyraminx.
Right now I'm only doing 3x3 and I use the Tanglong as my main.
These are the things I think about buying:
2x2 - Moyu LingPo
Skewb - Moyu Skewb
Pyraminx - Moyu Pyraminx

So, what 2x2, Pyraminx and Skewb should I buy?

P.S. I prefer something that works good out of the box, because I'm not great at lubing or setting up tensions.

2x2: If you're not gonna lube or tension it, then the best 2x2 will probably be the LingPo, but I'd also consider the Cyclone Boys stickerless.
Skewb: Moyu
Pyraminx: Moyu or QiYi

I switched before I even got it :D The Guhong of sq1 is an excellent way to describe it (except it doesn't ever pop).

I have never had an SQ-1 and I don't know yet how to solve it but if the QiYi is so good maybe I'd buy one just to complete my WCA collection. Is it that good?

Ive heard the qiyi skewb is better out of the box. Also you dont mind waiting i think there are new yang cong pyra and skewbs coming.
 
hi I average around 12 seconds and I was planning on either getting the MeiYing or TangLong
I don't really have a preference for the speed of the cube, but I do like my cubes smooth like a WeiLong! They're both roughly around the same price and I can only buy one at the moment. Which one do you think is a better option??

The Meiying is fast but definitely not smooth like a Weilong but scratchy instead. If you have tried any of it's predecesors (Yueying, Liying or Huanying) you'll know what I'm talking about. I'm still waiting for my Tanglong to arrive so I cannot be sure but I think it will be probably smoother than the Meiying.

I don't own a MeiYing, so I'm not really qualified to compare, but I can say that the TangLong is very smooth and feels pretty WeiLong-ish, but much better, I'd say.
 
I used to have an aolong v2 before i lost it and I liked the controllable speed and the fact that i didn't have to be a very accurate turner. Another thing i liked about the cube was the slightly bumpy feel and the fact that it didn't lose shape. Now that i'm in the market, what are some other cubes i would enjoy?

EDIT: Also, I've used the weilong v2 and the hualong, and I locked up/catched on both a lot, probably due to the blockiness of the cubes.

Thunderclap maybe?
 
If you like smooth cubes tanglong is the way to go. Holy crap is it buttery, feels like it's almost over lubed when it's virtually dry. I think it's a great cube and decently fast but not overly, just my two cents.
 
Uhh, what 4x4 should I get?
I highly prefer one that doesn't need lubing or a lot of setting up.
That because I'm new in the cubing community and I never tried lubing a cube.

Thanks

No cube "needs" lube. I prefer my mini AoSu. The Cyclone boys G4 is a bit cheaper and the same mini size but not as smooth.

Here is my comparison video https://youtu.be/9yiPf-Cb4jM
