Maybe cube2you is just bad and you should buy from cube4you?

Seriously, I am not very picky about writing and I no for sure that I make a lot of mistakes, but you are very hard to understand this way.

izzit
surpose
cube2you
plz
... (there are also other ways to use punctuation)

You should adjust the tension so it has a good mixture between being loose and being stable. It shouldn't pop to often.

break the cube in first, if you havent done so already, and then try to adjust the tension to your liking

break?... wat u mean?

break?... wat u mean?

It roughly means:
- Tigthen the DIY enough so that it doesn't easily pop but is easy enough to turn
- Solve or practice moves hundreds of times until the cube moves comfortably

It's like using a different bicycle, you've to get used to the new one - break it in, so to speak.

Wear and tear will occur, hence breaking it in lol
