Remember that especially for big cubes you should focus on the inner contact points and less on the parts near the outside.

What's the use of lighter lubes like weight 1.
@@anjalimobilehtc it is used to lube 1x1!.. lol just joking...😂
The heavier lube is better for the core (Weight 5,4,3) and the lighter lube is better for the pieces (Weight 3,2,1).. hope you understood!
if i live in Malaysia then the mspeed cube shop didn't sell the lube what should i use?
no speed lube
Man! I did everything what you said!! I lubed my 1x1 and all the lube is over my hand!
Without that emoji,joke is good
That's why I lube the inside

First off: KNOW ITS A JOKE!
Here we go:
I got a 8 buck cube off Amazon for 8 bucks and can corner cut about 45 with some tensioning, and could be an ok main with some controlius

Wait, you have to clean the cube before lubricating it?
That explains everything...
xd
I love your account pic its soooooo funnyXD
Thanks
I don't get it, can someone explain
@@anshumanagrawal346 He lubed it,and then clean the puzzle.But when he cleaned the cube there was lube in there,so he wiped off all the lube.So he wasted lube.

Lol my cube is dirty it’s like it has salt in it.
@@sylonisharma4660 mine actually has salt in it
my cube has weird white dust (maybe dry lube?) inside that slows down my cube, it doesn't matter how much i clean it, *they will come back*

@@fathimanajiya4825 um what
1:03 why don't you just re-assemble it solved?
Because on bigger cubes you have a lot of pieces so it takes much more time
@@Nerplerd I get what you mean, but all the centre pieces of a colour are the same piece, same goes for edges. So you only need to think about where a piece goes relative to where different pieces of the same colour are
I was thinking that two.
@@cobcorn8749 wtf, center pieces and edges are not the same, only if you are assembling a 4x4, but in a 5x5+ they are different lol
You can separate the pieces when disassembling

LOL this made my day
I like when you get a PLL skip you’re like “what the hell” 😂😂
I use weight 2 (Cubicle) or 30k on the core.
On the pieces, I use weight 2 or 30k and lubicle silk + dnm/Compound V/Compound X depending on the cube.
Once I break in the cube for a long while, I put lubicle 1 in.
Edit: and this is how I main the Yuxin Kylin V2, Kirin 4x4, Cloud 5x5, and Little magic 6x6.
Was wondering, I’ve had the gan x and xs for a while, the little hexagonal tracks on the pieces on the x are getting filled with what looks like dirt, I assume it’s the residual melted plastic from all the friction inside the cube given that I don’t lube the cube. Therefore I’m gonna start lubing it more but I was wondering if there are any lubes best for the gan x ?
@@missachin5054 Try using weight one from Speedcubeshop! It'll add control, but keep it fast.
I am using weight 5 for the core and lubicle black for the pieces with a bit of Dignitas, and Weight 1
I'm very new to cubing and this channel has been so helpful and fun to watch. I love all the small and almost hidden jokes you put in, like when you're talking about lubing odd numbered cubes and have 1x1 listed with them. It's hardly even a joke but I just enjoy them so much
1:13 - why would you ever need to assemble a 1x1
Its so damn difficult you likely take it apart and reassemble it
You can magnetize it
@Spyral r/whooosh
You are supposed to do that.
Because its so stiff that we need tutorials to lube it

@@quantumnoctemustbf you're watching this video too lmao
I tried doing this to my 0x0 and I'm having trouble with the lube. It just goes all over the floor
haha
Note to myself and anyone else who needs it:
when he says focus on the internal areas when lubing he is not joking if you lube the outer parts of the pieces it leaks everywhere any you end up making a mess.
For people who use Gancubes, lube the GES with a heavy lube. It's completely optional but lubing the GES reduces the spring noise and results in a much lower pitched sound.
we need more walkthrough solves from these speaking hands
No way! I was thinking in lubricate my cube for the first time, and you made a video about it!
i found a good video for a different type of combination for a 3x3
I use Microfiber cloths when wiping down my cubes. I also prefer super smooth feeling turning, but it needs to be fast. So I usually used a small, and I mean SMALL, bit of silicone lube on the tracks of the pieces, and then use a combination of TheCubicles Angstrom V and DNM37 (not sure what the SCS equivalents would be). This combo with fairly loos tensions makes my MF3RS2M fly with minimal effort, but remains very stable. Hope this helps someone :)
add stardust and lunar from speed cube shop to make it super fast
Of course you upload this right after I fail to properly lube my gts3m
Iny gan X I put vortex in the core, a half cc of controlius for the tracks and two drops of solar on the pieces. Performance is phenomenal 👌.
Soon, I might get a stickerless cube round the $5-$10 mark. Would I have to add lube to a cheaper one? Because, as a lazy dude, I don’t think I would be bothered to do this.
Subscribed! My favorite RUclipsr/Cuber
Hi! I've been waiting all day.
pls release another video
i think he did
Instructions unclear, my dog is now all slimy and my cube is in the sewer.
Love your videos buddy.
One thing i wanted to mention here is it might be worth adding a notation surrounding the screw adjustment step. The video shows the white being adjusted but when checking, by spreading the opposite layers apart, you are in fact adjusting one or both of those sides (orange/red)... Repeating for all layers, then continuing to test, leading onto the corner cut test in your video using the white face.
thinking back, not sure i was clear so...I'm thinking it'd be easier to turn the checking face (white in this case) to the side, lets say to the left (right handed) so white face is pointing left then check that white faces gap in comparison to it's four sides in-turn (orange/green/red/blue) by ONLY separating the center piece of one of those sides (right thumb) and the side piece of the checking face (left thumb), 1 gap to view not two. A consistent, over-sized, spaced gap all round indicates an adjustment can be made to the white face, tightening the screw. An In-consistent gap indicates that you will need to repeat this process for the side face (which becomes your checking face) with the largest gap space, most likely being the side which is too loose.
J perm is the best RUclipsr about speed cube because not just he teach you things, he also replies to your questions !!!
0:31 there goes my plans for this Friday
Thank you so much for making this video! I have always just had to guess how to do this, and now I know from a pro.
I love your Channel and you’ve made me decide which new cube I should get
Thanks alot, u have taught me how to open the rubix cube and lubricate it, it's now 🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️☄️ fast
I just shove some oil and shampoo in my cube and there you go. Perfect!

God is a fairytale
THANK U SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! THIS VIDEO HELPED ME MAKE MY ONCE A SPEED CUBE, REGAIN ITS GLORY!!!!!!!
I just lubed my QiYi concave DNA for the first time yesterday after having it for months with no lube, and OMG it made a huge difference. I love how smooth the cube turns now, it's so quiet and much faster now. I tried lubing it a different way though, I put four drops in per side, one drop straight down each corner of the center pieces, and that's only because I'm not used to lubed cubes yet. Love your videos man, keep it up. 😁
U should get an rs3m or meilong m or anything better then the dna cubes trust me.
Does anyone know a good speedcube shop which ships from EU ? I really don't want to pay 13 $ for shipping only.
Search for theCubeSpecialists, they ship for 3 Euros I think
Edit: It's German so shipping is probably cheaper if you are in Germany
I have to pay 20€ for shipping from cubicle.us. xD
Cuboss.se. They are Swedish. But I don’t think tat it’ll be a problem.
@@eskilhr Unfortunately they only ship to the Nordic countries, except for Iceland. At least that's what they say on their website
Yes! I really want to get an aosu gts2m but shipping costs just as much as the cube itself... and if i use a dutch cube site (im from the netherlands) it ends up costing even more for some reason
I read the thumbnail as:
"How to speed a lubecube".
Ahahaha
*cube lube*
you just saved my life with my 4x4
I found out that lubing the outer part of the piece made a big difference
Outer part that you can see when you do a 45 degree turn
It made the cube feel so smooth
It was better than put of the box
Yea ik it should be included in the vid about it
Nice video! I appreciate your saying the requirements to make it solvable (otherwise, I would have assembled it solved). How long does it take you to take apart, clean, and set up a big cube (5x5x5 or 6x6x6)? Not having done it before, it took me about 90 minutes... someone could buy a new cube with the money earned in the time it takes to take apart, clean, and set it up. I wonder if someone who can disassemble and assemble them quickly could go to a competition and offering to do this for $5 to $25 (depending on the size of the cube). Someone could drop it off and return in a couple of hours, just like dropping off your car to get an oil change.
don't be too thorough with the cleaning part. most of the time I just lube, but when the insides get too bad, I do a slight cleaning so that it's about 80% good and takes far less time.
I'm not sure how long it takes but probably around 20-30 min with cleaning and assembling, and just lube without cleaning would be 1 min.
Hello J perm
...somehow I got hair in my cube?
Yea there's a vid about that, turns out some hair goes into your cube, disgusting but real
I love how you added the 1x1

For reassembling 3x3: to avoid oll parity, make sure all the Edges are oriented and for corners the top should be all white and the bottom should be all yellow . For pll parity, remove the centre caps and do the void cube parity alg then put them back on
or just assemble it solved!
@@James-uz3ch but it takes more time and solving it breaks it the lube a bit
@@elijaht3452 I prefer to assemble it solved so I avoid all of these problems and then scramble it or do random algs after. (it's up to you. it's personal preference)
wow.
i just got lube and put it on my cube, and became sub 30 right after. Thank u
I had Huggies baby wipes lying around, easier to find than a fresh towel. They cut lube easily and leave fresh plastic, no need for toothbrush so far. They get every tiny bit of lube and leave a fresh surface as if lube was never there. Great after lubing too, keep your fingers clean and the outside of the cube grippy. Surprisingly good, give it a try.
Just in time. Got a little magic and can definitely feel how loose/uncontrollable it is. I like this video because it is going over exactly where to place the lube. Did first time solve just this last weekend thanks to J perm basic tutorial. Now just working speed into muscle memory and building more intuition. Anyone has suggestion which magnets to use with little magic? I was thinking the n 35 4-2. Not sure if I want to screw it up ie have to remove magnets after the fact. I know I could’ve gotten the little magic m but I wanted to get something basic first. And like a light saber I wanted to tune my little magic cube to my preference. Just out of curiosity from all the members what lube and magnets did you use to make your light saber/little magic more controllable.
The last time I was this early my v-cube would corner cut.
I thought that was impossible
@@danishdanial5596 that's the joke

I love how he just goes straight into the video and doesn't do any HUGGGEEEEEEEEEEE intro
I was searching lube for some personal reasons but this is better
You know I find the best way to break in a cube, especially a large cube is to stuff it into a sock or plastic bag and spin it around for a couple of minutes. It takes the lube and forces it to the outside if its not in the core and spreads the rest around to the inner pieces.
Instructions unclear. Used this on my dick and now that sock is my cum sock
uhhh

@@karenyeary5138it’s just how some people think you spell “Rubik’s”
My only cube is a Rubiks branded 3x3 that i droppes in sand
Good luck reassembling it
Try fileing it down with a file and was all the pieces with water
great way to check screw depth with a 3x3: take away all of the pieces and pull opposite centers, that is the single most accurate way to check the screw depth
Im using auto silicon lubricant and ear cleaning swabs. Works nice and one balon can be used for years. Clean the cube once or twice a month. Lube after cleaning and disassembling and then once in 2-3 days without disassembling.
When I set the cube up for the first time after buying it, is it enough if I just put some lube (maru lube in my case) in the cube?
You said that you take out an edge and I can't find it on my 2x2
You are the best youtuber in the world! Amazing
Just got done cleaning my cube! Now it’s time to brush my teeth!

Hey! I’ve got a quick question. I just got a new weilong gts3m, and coming from a budget 3x3 that was clunky, it’s suuuuper fast, even on the 8th setting which I’m using now. I was wondering if there was a way I could make it tighter/more controllable so I can ease into it more comfortably, maybe using a screwdriver but I’m not sure which direction to turn and how much etc. Any help is appreciated from anyone and thank you for the quality videos!
When using the screwdriver, clockwise makes it tighter and counterclockwise makes it looser
use cosmos
i put silicone lube in the outside of the pieces then dunk it in a bucket of martian lube then lick it and vuala i also use vaseline for the inside too
Don't forget the WD40
@@NoahS4226 oh yeah

I cant get off the pieces of my cube cuz i am scaring, i have just 1 cube ;-;
I love the new kind of videos you have been making
I use Lunar and Weight 5, because it makes it smooth but also controllable, slightly fast turning feel because of Lunar’s speed and Weight 5 making it slow and controllable. I would recommend this setup because if it’s smooth and fast but controllable feel!
How to set up a cube with no speed cube accesories:
To tension your rubiks brand, you cant.
For lube you can use olive oil, or piss.
You can magnetize your cube by toy magnets in a capsule that are similar to gan x mags.
Step 1: get a drill or a chainsaw
Step 2: drill edges and corners
Step 3: put magnets and put super glue, not caring if you spill over internals of the cube.
ENJOY
I did all this but it didnt work
jk
Instructions unclear. I lubricated my duck instead.
Quetzalcoatl what did you lube it with
I lubricated my recording desk using weight 3
A common mistake, really. They're both very similar in appearance.
Great video!
Helped me a lot. Thanks for making it.
Can you please make a video on how do you make your cstimer look so good.
I get my GTS3m few days ago, and I wanted to play a bit with the spring system before looking how to do it properly. I was quite satisfied with my result but it was a bit uneven. Then youtube suggest me this video and now I realize how wrong I was on my settings x)
That's so much better, corner cutting is perfect, and it feel way more smoother (less stable, need to adjust a bit) and I understand now how adjust the screws to have an even cube =)
Hi
Cubing Maniac hi
Sup
Hey
Hey
@Chongbai he cares for you. he don't want you to poop your pants
Core lube is VERY! important, unless you want your cube to bump super uncomfortably along each turn, unlike magnetic bumps this bump is painful, it slows down your cube and it causes a loud sound called spring noise, spring noise damages the cube, it's WAY better to just *stick* to lubing the core for better performance, turning, and speed. PLEASE LUBE YOUR CUBE"S CORE! THANK YOU!
*laughs in maglev*
I have a springed cube and i never noticed any spring noise on it. My old cube did have the problem but i have it for about the same time and i don't hear the springs even when I put it to against my ear
how do you tell if your cube is lubed
I use a q-tip with a thin layer of cleaning solution and i find that works best
For Indian Cubers, just use Livon. Very cheap compared to lubes available online. I've only used Livon till date. Anyone else with experience in both Livon and Maru, cubelelo lubes etc, please share your experience.
What is livon ?. BTW i am indian too and was considering buying cubelelo lubes
@@theomnivert Well, It's a famous brand of hair serum that gives a temporary shine to your hair😝😋. But, since it is silicon based, it can be used as a lube. It leaves very little residue and doesn't dissolve the plastic of your cube like vaseline or other petroleum based creams/gels/oils.
@@pragativarpe9521 😂😂thanks! I used my dad's silicon spray till now . Will try it in some days
This is what I am using but it slows down a bit after the residue it made. And also it makes the cube feels annoying fast and takes about a whole day to get stable untill some residue is made.
@@perfectsledge585 Yes. After you clean the cube and apply it, the cube does get a bit fast. But it also evaporates quickly and leaves a thin layer behind which really makes it more controllable.
Use a q-tip instead of a toothbrush
It's not as easy to clean it. Toothbrushes are more stiff and have more reach in small fixed areas.
I enjoy cleaning the cube by using small microfiber cloths, like the one in the tornado v3 box
I just wanted to thank you for what you did because this has really really helped my gts3 feel like it is new
