This is the thread for lube setups, preferred tensions, settings, mods, etc. for all types of cubes. You can request, just post normally, give tips, and everything in between. I'll just kick this off right now with my preferred setups.
For all my cores, I drop in any lighter lube and break it in with a bunch of U2s.
For fast 2x2s & 3x3s, I use Martian/Silk and a bit of Weight 5 in the tracks to control it.
For slow 2x2s & 3x3s, I use Martian/Silk + any water-based lube, and vialed lubes like Dignitas or keyboard lubes (surprise!) for the tracks to reduce friction and speed it up.
For 4x4-7x7 and Mega, I take out a piece or two, drop in fast silicone like Lunar or Speedy, put the piece in and break it in.
For Pyra and Skewb I just use any fast lube.
For Clock, I take off the casing, brush some vialed lube into the friction areas and fast lubes into the gears, wipe off the top of the dials and break it all in.
I'm not a Squan solver but my friend recommends just dropping in whatever into the tracks. Don't drop it into the top Florian hole, it doesn't do anything if you do that.
