IDK if the GAN 11M is good ?

It’s my main. Turning it is really nice, there are barely any catches and corner cutting is great. I like a lot about this cube and i get the best times on it but there is a problem with popping. It happens more than any other cube for me and i don’t want to tighten it bevause i don’t want to get rid of the previous good things. I’d say it’s a really good cube but that is a problem with it

Just a tip, instead of asking questions like these on the forums, the are hundreds of videos on the GAN 11 M Pro. They will give you a lot more information.

There are a number of GAN 11 series cubes. All of them share the GES pro system for adjusting tensions. They differ in magnet setup (and maybe other ways).
The GAN 11 Air is not magnetized.
The GAN 11M has corner and edge magnets like traditional magnetic cubes but does not have the extra corner to core magnets that were all the hullabaloo when the 11M Pro was released.
The GAN 11M Duo has the extra corner to core magnets, but none of the magnets on the cube are adjustable. It is the only of these cubes that I have, and I love it.
The GAN 11M Pro adds adjustable magnets. It is my understanding (but I do not own an 11M Pro) that the 11M Duo is like an 11M Pro with the magnets permanently on the middle setting. The 11M Pro is the only model that offers different surface finishes.

Not sure if that helps with your question, but it may clear up confusion about what you are paying for as you move up in price among the GAN 11 models.

Don't forget the Mini, smaller version of the Pro 53mm i think

probs too unstable because its designed to be fast with core magnets but doesn't have any. the duo is better and the pro is also better but a lot of mone

I just watched some reviews of the GAN 356 Air M and have tried it, it's feeling is better for me.

What are the recommendations for 8x8 and up? I prefer stickleress but not a deal breaker over quality. Well 8x8 and up to a reasonable size. Not gonna drop hundreds of dollars for the crazy 21x21 or anything.

Also interested in non WCA size megaminxes. I really enjoy megaminx so I want to try different orders.

For NxN’s, the Meilong series is a great choice. They are very small, cheap, and stickerless, and they perform really well. As for minxes, Shengshou is the only good option for anything bigger than a megaminx. The Qiyi Kilominx is generally considered to be the best Kilominx.

For 8x8 and 9x9 the Dianheng's will most likely be the best. @Gerry the Diansheng 8x8 and 9x9 will be magnetic which is a huge plus. They'll also be very affordable.

For 8x8 and 9x9, Diansheng has magnetic ones coming out very soon. They are likely to be the best. If you can't wait, get the Cyclone Boys G8 and the Meilong 9x9. For 10x10 and up, the Meilongs are probably your best bet.

For higher order megaminxes, you really only have one option - Shengshou. MF8 made some as well but you don't want those.

I presume that the diansheng series will be best once they have been released since they are magnetic but until then I would personally recommend the yuxin little magic series for 8x8 - 11x11, I have generally found them to be more reliable and better quality than the meilongs.

Which is more satisfying+Preformance: Tengyun v1 or Tornado v2?

Tengyun v1 100%

I like the WRM 2021 better than both, but I personally like the Tornado better than the Tengyun.

Tornado all the way

 

[John_NOTgood]

Tengyun v1 100%

TBH, my Tengyun has lost a lot of its nice qualities, now it's very loud and catchy compare to my other cubes, and Although I think OOTB and even after some use it's a great puzzle to use, long term becomes a bit more in the middle of performance and satisfaction for using it

 

[SH03L4C3]

we cant have a 3 way tie lol. I think I have eliminated the tornado because it is slow and hard to make faster from what I read in another thread

You just need to set it up...
