Want to help me set it up?
I like it, but it pops when my bad friends try to turn it, and corner twists when my finger makes its way between the pieces.
Oh yeah, most annoying: Reverse corner cutting on it is so difficult.
Still love it though, but I really need to fix the rev corner cut problem before it will match my weilong.

I keep it fairly tight and put weight 3 on the pieces, but in my opinion this cube doesn't need lube and performs very well without it. This cube works extremely well for accurate turners so try to minimize reliance on corner cutting.

My yuxin 3x3 is almost opposite of yours- the reverse corner cutting is effortless and it doesn't corner twist. I suspect you have it tensioned too loose.

I believe that this cube is worth a lot of effort because when it's good, it's amazing. But it's also possible that you got a bad one. I refuse to defend poor quality control so I would be really pissed at Yuxin if that were the case.

I have had the Yuxin 3x3 for about a month now and I am pissed off. I think that it is an excellent cube from all the videos I have seen on youtube, but the cube that they are using in the videos and the one I hold in my hand appear to be two different puzzles. My cube is sluggish and can't corner cut even 30 degrees. It takes too much effort to turn the pieces, and the thing locks up as if it couldn't be moved in the first place.
The reason? I think I have a faulty core. I was tensioning the cube, and after tightening it I made about 7 turns before the thing collapsed on itself. A center came loose from tightening. This happen to anyone else?
 
Hey guys I'm stuck between an AOLONG V2 , YUXIN and a YUEYING if anyone can help clarify on which is better that would be great.

I've been hearing good things about the Yuxin but they are balanced so it's really hard to choose >_<

AoLong is a good all around cube. My Auxin feels close to the same with less corner twisting, but a bit more catching. The Yue Ying has less catching and better corner cutting, but can be a bit loud when solving. I use the YueYing more than my AoLong or Auxin.

If you have none of these cubes and your current cube is seriously trash, then get yuxin. i've never tried yueying but yuxin definitely better than aolong v2.

Thanks !

In your opinion is there a huge difference between those 3 cubes and if so in your opinion what would be good for a sub 30 Solver ? :D

The Yuxin has less corner twists but I feel is a bit more catchy than the AoLong. Not "definitely better" but not definitely worse either. I personally like the YueYing but have the WeiYing on order and will do a comparison when it comes in.

Would you say in general all the cubes are the same?

Seems tough making a decision when there are too many similarities ><
 
Not the same, but having their own qualities that makes one feel better for that specific person. I don't want to post the video again so I'll just put the link. I made a video going over the qualities of each of the major puzzles out today. I hope it helps.
