3x3 lubrication tutorial: a voiceover tutorial

[@954yu9hgkdftu]

I got a screwdriver I have a GAN Thank you phil!

[@erojerisiz1571]

I really wish that you guys would sell traxxas in its 100ml bottle instead of a syringe because there are a lot of online stores that sell it in the 100ml bottle for just 7 dollars, and the 25cc in thecubicle.us is 13 dollars.

[@the1barbarian781]

KDGCuber lol buy it online

[@Jetmaster11]

YOU POP OUT THE CENTER CAPS SO FAST

[@focus9728]

[@Oxzowachi]

NOOOO I just ordered Traxxas 30k... But just remembered I wanted to order Lubicle Speedy...

[@judeclarke5934]

Can you make an updated vid with silk lubicle 1 and dnm 37

[@minecraftwithjade2194]

how about an updated version on pro shop cubes?

[@cubestric4568]

I love the intro of these videos...

[@finlaymartins272]

i love lubing cubes with weight 3 or four then adding maru it makes it so buttery but fast as well

[@dangernoodle8376]

Is that a 10x10

[@TheChamp1971]

When I looked at TheCubicle.us web site, I saw that Lubicle Speedy, Regular, and Gummy lubes are much more expensive (volume for volume) than the Cubicle Silicone Lubes Weights 1 to 5. Is there a noticeable difference in quality? Do the more expensive Lubicle lubes last longer (i.e. not dry out as fast) than the Silicone Lubes Weights 1 to 5?

[@fayyadhaunilbarr]

The best is traxxas, they last very long. With maru or dnm-37, you will be fine. Or just put heavy lube(traxxas/weight) on core and silk/dnm on pieces.

[@suiu4234]

For me the best is , traxxas 50k in core and dnm 37 in pieces , and yes you think it is so fast , only add 1 drop of lubicle silk. I use this in my weilong gts 3 ( no magnetic ) and is so good

[@ferryhmm]

The only lube I have is from your lube premium bundle and I dont want to buy more lube. Can I use the lube from this bundle to lube the core? And which one should I use? Btw I use the Gan Air SM

[@3thandang]

then why are u lubing it?????

[@ferryhmm]

Swag Knight YT what?

[@pizzapm]

I used weight 4 on the core and weight 2 on the pieces, it works for how i like my cube to feel

[@SuperZiggyCraft]

You don’t need to lube the core on the Gan Air line. But you can use a lighter lube like dnm to make the cube slightly faster. Idk if it works with the GES V2 system but it worked on my UM

[@Cube4Life]

Thank you so much this helped a lot! Is this how you live your premium cubes?

[@SavageKingsvge]

Just orded from your website! Thanks for everything you have done!

[@addinshah2348]

BRO How do I lube my Wushuang?What lube am I suppose to use??

[@dibyamkumar8042]

What would be the best combination for my Aolong V2? I need a fast and a smooth cube.

[@EmhyrSubramanian]

Does anyone have tips on tensioning a Dayan Zhanchi 3x3? How do you get even tensions?

[@BrothersInArmor]

+Emhyr Subramanian (ES Cuber) Uncap all of the center pieces and tighten them all to where they are all the same tightness, almost lik eyou cant turn the cub cause it is so tight. then loosen 1 side until it's how you feel is what you want and remember how many times the screwdriver turned. Then do the same for the remaining 5 sides. then from there Tighten or loosen any of the sides until it is how you want :)

[@alexkrzeminski9747]

Thanks for the tutorial! Do you think you can also make a tutorial on efficient tensioning? This, I find is much more tedious than lubricating, and this is partially due to not having a good tutorial to work off of. With the quality and proficiency of this tutorial in mind, along with your ZZ tutorial (my current main method thanks to you) I'm sure you can make a very good tutorial on this essential aspect of cubing hardware. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

[@marcusmalapanes2527]

I have a very sloppy angry unalligned turning style and if my cube is too fast sides that I don't want to turn turn. and I was wondering what lube I should use in the pieces to make it controllable but not gummy and with medium to loose tensions

[@rathinsawant2523]

Awesome coordination!

[@animeislyfe69]

So what do we do with the tips after that wouldn’t it have lube in it?

[@rakeshmehta7806]

how to lube gans 356 air

[@lucasaccary927]

Do you think weight 1 silicone would be could to make the cube fast

[@lkcubing6204]

I got a weilong for christmas. It was really tight out of the box but after luring it it was my former maun

[@dhanushmohanraj2425]

Now which is your main

[@qqVALAKAS]

is mofange M lube = weight5 and that fast water lube = white maru ?

[@thomasborton9848]

can you teach me how to put lube together cuz my 10cc weight 5 came dissassembled i know how to install the nozzel but i am haveing trouble with the back pushie part if you know what i mean....... actually i found out that the a-hole of a mail man broke it while dilivering it

[@magnuschanduru6173]

Is that lubing the cube is important?

[@gabrieladriancruz4663]

What does the lubicle standard do?

[@cursebop6055]

pretty sure it just makes the cuber move more fluidly than it would previous to the lubricant being placed within the cube.

[@viliammackovcin4557]

do you rlly want 11 $ for shipping of 2 x 5cc lubes?

[@mikkelsvartveit]

Exactly what's the difference between Lubicle and the regular silicone lube?

[@TheSphericalCuber1]

Mikkel Svartveit Nothing really it's just crazy overpriced, It's the exact same thing as the cubicle's silicone lube or traxxas, I personally use cubicle weight 3 and maru lube on mine.

[@tannn8841]

does a yulong have washers in it

[@sosa4440]

What is the viscosity difference between lubicle speed and weight 2&1

[@separateform1820]

Joe Speedy is more similar to weight 1, but I think weight 1 has the lowest viscosity.

[@IanLertola]

What should I use for a premium HuaLong when the original lube wears out?

[@IanLertola]

***** Ok thanks

[@witherfoot2634]

Usually how many solves do you need to do in order to completely break the lube in? I have tried weight 4 for both core and pieces for my thunderclap, but after about a 100 solves, the lube kind of dries out but that gummy sound is still there.

[@witherfoot2634]

+Linus Lan Yeah I was aware of that but it still doesn't go away after many solves

[@witherfoot2634]

It's not slow anymore, but I still hear this stcky/gummy sound

[@aumthakore450]

+Bronze Cuber I think you should put Wt 5 or traxxas 50k

[@larsbada5319]

Is weight 3 fine on the core of gan sm and dnm-37 on the pieces?

[@MaxSiauw74]

Can you just put some Speedy inside the hole of the cube like on Lubicle Silk or Maru?

[@SuperZiggyCraft]

Hi. I use a Gan 356 Air UM, and can't find a good way to lube it doesn't take 200+ solves to break in. I have Maru, DNM-37, and weight 2 and 5. Do you have any suggestions on how to lube it? If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

[@haloreach6110]

What's the best combination for Aolong v2?

[@sonyboat4337]

That's mostly up to you're personal preference, I would go with weight 4 for the core, and speedy lubicle for the pieces.

[@haloreach6110]

right now I'm using weight 3 in core and in the pieces, do you the difference between weight 1 and speedy?

[@sonyboat4337]

RelyingScarab . I'm not the best to ask haha, but I do believe weight 1 is a bit faster then lubicle speedy.

[@haloreach6110]

+Crimson Cuber ok thnx

[@gonzalodejo7413]

+smart42cuber and with what I weight can i use for the Moyu hualong

[@gibleyt1039]

Can we don't use the rubik syringe

[@pezpeculiar9557]

If I wanted to make my cube as fast as humanly possible while making sure that spring noise never happens, what would I do? How about for a YueXiao or WeiLong GTS?

[@JohnsConga]

Lubicle speedy and Maru lube on the pieces for the weilong GTS

[@wangjiayu5372]

I tihink you need a better microphone,man.

[@minecraftwithjade2194]

tell them that now i dare you.

[@stewieeeeeee2k]

Which side of the washer goes down?

[@deksterr]

I late to ask but, what is the best way to setup a Gans 356 Air UM (I previously lube the cube and it felt really slow, so I just wiped the pieces and core with a towel) I lube the core with weight 4 Hit the pieces with one drop of lubicle silk, dnm-37, and a bit of traxxas 10k It has a buttery feel and a crisp one in my opinion Plz tell me what else I can do to make it better

[@aayamkc3055]

Lubicle black

[@deksterr]

Aayam Kc I'll try that thx for the suggestion 😁

[@aayamkc3055]

Enable_Gaming its core lube but ive seen it makes a cube turn easier and faster

[@deksterr]

Aayam Kc I ordered it two days ago should arrive tomorrow or the day after Halloween But how I'm a gonna put lubicle black on

[@deksterr]

Do I put it on the center piece or on the metal of the octopus core

[@beanoriginal3038]

how much lube should I put on the pieces

[@zacgan1845]

lubicle speedy vs dnm 37 vs lubicle silk?

[@ansenfrench1140]

good audio but you might want a better pop filter and a tad bit distance from mic

[@sebastiannieto3039]

is the dispenser tip supposed to come with the lube, or is it bought separately, if it comes included ho come my order was missing he dispenser?

[@MinecraftVoidMan]

the lube actually costs 3.00, but the dispensing tip costs 89 cents. you have the option of not buying a tip, but by default you are going to buy one.

[@sebastiannieto3039]

+CubeSicle so the tip isn't included when I buy the lube?

[@Owen-ny7nq]

+Sebastian Nieto you probably accidentally only got the lube.

[@GeneSHKim]

TheCubicle.us What's the difference between breaking in than lubing, versus lubing out of the box and than breaking it in?

[@1exboard]

I am interested in this aswell

[@separateform1820]

Gene Kim It breaks in faster and better when you lube aftereards

[@GeneSHKim]

thx

[@BeyBlade727]

Lubing makes breaking in slower because it stop plastic from rubbing together. So break in and then lube

[@GeneSHKim]

***** thanks, sry if that question sounded dumb, it's just cuz i hav a shuang ren v2 that i lubed straight out of box with traxxas 50, and everyone who' sturned it says it's the best shuang ren v2 they've felt, so yeah

[@austinjthomas19]

what lube would you recommend for a begginer speed cuber with a yj yulong with about 100 solves on it

[@AtharvGoel]

Weight 4-5 for core and weight 2-3 for pieces

[@11h88]

Would you need to apply lube?

[@leopassa8131]

how am i supposed to use 3 different types of lube in 1 puzzle? i use weight 2 and weight 4 but i recently ordered a balanced lube kit (weight 2 and 4 + lubicle and dnm 37) and i would like to use weight 2 and 4 + lubicle (dnm 37 when the cube gets dry) but i'm not sure where to use the lubicle (i know that weight 2 and 4 are for pieces and core).

[@melontree5307]

lol I'm late but use lubicle on 3 pieces break it in then add your weight 2 and dnm

[@leopassa8131]

Melon Tree thanks

[@levin2880]

weight 2 slowed my Gan UM down. If it's dry it's very fast and also a little bit uncontrollable but I'm missing the smooth feeling. Tips wich lubes for a fast and smooth cube?

[@jaccaboy5511]

Can I use weight 4 on the pieces as well? if not, will maru work on the pieces and weight 4 on the core?

[@tysonplaid2959]

Weight 4 will slow the cube down and make it more controllable. If you use maru lube it will make it faster.

[@jaccaboy5511]

but how do I make maru last a bit longer?

[@tysonplaid2959]

+JaccaTheCuber I'm afraid there isn't a way to make maru lube last longer. You will have to keep reapplying it every once in a while.

[@khoa9051]

Can we use weight 3 on the pieces and weight 5 on the core ?

[@ekcubes5472]

Yes, it works very well

[@yaaziboi8723]

What about the “Phil Door” in crazy bad cubers video

[@asdf14051]

What do washers do?

which lubes will go best with Thunderclap?

[@dylanempleo600]

Can I use cubicle weight one for the pieces instead of Lubicle speedy?

[@ViliamVadocz]

+Weakado yes

[@User-vd9lu]

+Weakado yes i use wt 1 and not speedy and wt 3 for core not wt 4

[@kylecirujales5116]

can i use weight 1 and not lubicle speedy

[@MinecraftVoidMan]

sure

[@huntero5573]

My aolong v2 did not have washers

[@hannesw8436]

What is the best lube for Gans Air? I was thinking of getting the Cubicle Gans Air but if I get it I want the correct lube for it even though I'm a Rubriks Cube noob. Any advice?

[@melontree5307]

Medium thick lube like weight 3 or 30k then something to give it speed like dnm or maru

[@ajayvs4919]

I've used weight 4 on hardware and weight 1 on pieces,my cube feels so slow and gummy.Will all this go away with about 200 solves ?

[@lucioantoniomurature3069]

+Ajay fido Maybe you overlubed it, try to clean out some pieces and break in the lube that remains in the other pieces

[@ajayvs4919]

+Lucio Antonio Murature if I broke in my cube without cleaning will I get the same result ???

[@lucioantoniomurature3069]

Ajay fido Yes i think that would be fine with a couple hundred of solves

[@ajayvs4919]

thank you

[@joeharkins3025]

Wait, how do I apply lube to the pieces? If I am dumb and did not notice it in the video, can someone put the exact place in the video in their reply? Thank you.

[@adamye02]

+Joe Harkins Starts at 5:22. You don't need to do it piece by piece.

[@joeharkins3025]

Adam Ye Thanks

[@cameronmckee8243]

+Adam Ye if not piece by piece then what?

[@adamye02]

Cameron McKee Pretty much what the videos shows. Squirt a few drops of lubricant and work it into the cube.

[@ATS1031]

I need help Witch lube should I get lubicle weight 3 or tracchas and if this what weight

[@rowenavillapando848]

ATS buy Traxxas 50k it will be slow but very fast

[@ATS1031]

Rowena Villapando what do you mean slow but fast

[@rowenavillapando848]

ATS I meant smooth

[@daviddtrinh]

Would Weight 2 be ok in a GuoGuan Yuexiao's hardware/core? As of now I only have weight 2...

[@muvluver]

Quite unsure, I tried my friends newly-lubed Yuexiao, unsure of the lube, but its really fast, and unstable and stuff, so, I suggest heavier lube like weight 3+ (probably 4)

[@akselipoutanen8730]

I have cubicle weight 1 and it made my moyu aolong v2 slower.

[@teklaasemed320]

you probably put way too much in the cube

[@tylairlar]

What lube would you recommend for a speed solver who averages from 20-35? Every time I used traxxis the cube even after wiping all factory lube out has a very sluggish feel. I use it on both pieces and the core so I want to know which could make the cube feel smooth, and faster.

[@MinecraftVoidMan]

get traxxas from amazon. it might feel slow, but you just have to break the lube in with 100-200 solves and it becomes great.

[@jasonngo209]

Is this how the cubicle lubes their cubicle premium cubes?

[@Hi-ph4nz]

+Jason N most likely but it depends on the cube

[@jasonngo209]

+Cretiv oh ok thx for the reply i assume they lube it the same way for all the cubes but with different weights for each type of cube.

[@Hi-ph4nz]

yes i think you can check on each of the cubicle premium cube pages on the old ones i remember that they say what it was lubed with

[@jasonngo209]

+Cretiv ok thx

[@sophiehuynh8]

For the core should I use weight 4 or 5?

[@FalseBankerYea]

The heavier the better bro, (weight 5)

[@jeremicaron1829]

It is ok if i use cubicle weight 3 instead of weight 4 ??

[@separateform1820]

CubeIsEZ fr I wouldn't reccomend it for the core

[@jeremicaron1829]

Ok thank you wath do you recomende ??

[@separateform1820]

CubeIsEZ fr weight 4 or 5

[@guilhermevnc]

what's the best lube to use on moyu weilong gts v2? is maru lube or z-lube fine?

[@ivanle2052]

Mystic maru dries out in like 5 seconds and then the cube is super gummy for like 100 solves so i hate maru

[@ion920]

Z lube is good

[@taverasabogadosconsultores3364]

what about setting up a budget cube like Mf3rs2 or the yuxin little magic. what kind of lube do you recommend?

[@jams4179]

Armando Taveras I use Traxxas 50k on the core, and dnm and silk on the pieces, with medium tensions.

[@iOSHax]

can i use wt 3 for wt 4 inside and wt 2 for speedy?

[@MinecraftVoidMan]

I recommend weight 5 for core and weight 2-3 for pieces

[@Owen-ny7nq]

wt 3 works for both but for best results lubicle gummy for core and lubicle speedy for pieces

[@maxpoplove8569]

I like to use weight five on the core and weight two on the pieces for lube on my puzzles

[@_miguel_jm6140]

Yay9999 I also use that, works really nice to me

[@justinputhen1499]

What should I use for yuxin fire?

[@cybermeth_]

Weight 2 and Mary on the peices makes it buttery smooth like a weilong, without being as slow

[@Masoncubes]

What cube was that

[@rudystark1405]

Great video!

[@ewahboy7016]

can i use normal silicone spray?

[@ImSpencer]

EwahBoy yes

[@cubestric4568]

Yes but i would NOT recommend it. You should be using 100% silicone for cubes. Silicone spray can have some petroleum inside the can even if they say "Silicone Spray."

[@ziadazraff3713]

best lube for thunderclap ???

[@TheEpiczPwner90]

If you want buttery smooth, use Traxxas 50k.

[@maxchen3573]

Should I get Weilong v2 or hualong

[@ekcubes5472]

Haulong. Definitely

[@maxchen3573]

now, another question: aolong v2 or hualong

[@Typeman5]

weilong gts

[@SpeedcubingCentralspeedcuber]

sorry but I've tried the weilong gts and it is not for me

[@Typeman5]

did you try the guoguan yuexiao?

What should I use on the core and pieces if I want the cube to be fast yet very smooth and buttery?

[@TwinFun0327]

Can i use Weight 3 for both hardware and pieces to save money?

[@lizard5671]

Twin Fun, honestly, using the same lube works fine. It may not be perfect, but it definitely works. (I've done all Traxxas 30K before and it worked out nice!)

[@TwinFun0327]

Thanks!

[@AmoghMopkar234]

Does adding washers make any difference to the cube's performance?

[@n8taing612]

It makes the cube last longer because the washer is keeping the screw from grinding the plastic

[@n8taing612]

I mean spring not screw

[@AmoghMopkar234]
