Viscosity of Lubix Found! Cheaper Alternative!

[timeless]

I don't own the 10k or the 30k. Those were pictures I found online. The best one that most matches Lubix is 50k. If you cannot find 50k, then 30k will be a good enough substitute.



Alright, here's a picture of it next to my Guhong and a quarter. It also has a cap on the applicator to prevent spilling. It is a 50cc bottle for $8. Compared to Lubix's highest amount of 8cc for $20.

how much did that cost? and does it say on the bottle 50cc? some1 told me its 20cc
is 100k wt good too?

Looks like we caught Lubix for overpricing xD

I do hope this is more or less the same stuff, as lubix is a REALLY good lube, no question. It's improved almost every cube I own, and made some almost unusable they're so slick. But a little syringe of it gets used up pretty quick.

I've had my Lubix for almost a year now, and it's still not used up. I've lubed MANY cubes with it and even wasted alot of it on my first cube that I lubed it with. (Put WAY too much in.. it was before I knew about "lube the core")

For me, it's lasted me a good while.

The answer to this was in my post that you quoted.

Yes, it says 50cc on the bottle. Whoever told you that is wrong.

is 100k wt good too?

That is way too thick. No one is stopping you from trying it, though. You would just have to put very, very little. Because of how thick it is, I wonder how much harder it would be to spread evenly through the whole cube.

Have you read ANY of this thread?

I prefer 100K to 50K. You have to use a very small amount. It spread around the cube quite nicely. The best thing is you can increase the amount so that you can tame an overly fast cube so that it can become controllable due damping properties.
I also like to over lube the whole cube and then wipe off the excess so that a small film is left on the pieces. However low viscosity shock oil work well here.

Yeh, found it. Too bad I only save $2 from buying this, rather than Lubix. How long does Amazon shipping take?

NONONONONO Don't buy any! I have a huge container that I bought so you can try it as well.

Thank you for the image.

No problem. I had a camera around, and had time on my hands.

It's funny that NOW people are finally realizing the truth I have been telling ever since Lubix it first came out, but nobody believed me until Dan Cohen made that post.

I knew about this silicone fluid, long before Lubix or even anybody else noticed them, because Chinese cubers have already been using these for ages.

Ooh you so cool.

Just kidding, I know that you've been saying this before. It's good that people now widely know, even if it isn't because of you.

I wish I knew about differential / shock oil before.

I would have bought gallons of the stuff and sell it in small amounts at 20x the original investment price.

Wait, what did Dan Cohen do? Which post in which thread?

5ok is easier to apply

50cc

Holy crap!

traxxas actually says on its label that it's non toxic, but that you may experience mild irritation if you put your lubed cube in your eye. lubix says on the label "buy more".

How about just avoid lubing our body parts? How does that sound?

Would these products be the Traxxas silicone mentioned?
