    This week I’ve upgraded from a magnetic RS3M to a UV Tornado which has no springs!

    I love my RS3M but always knew it was gonna be a transitional cube, like when I learned how to play guitar on an old POS I had laying around knowing I would buy a good one if I really stuck with it.

    Now I’ve seen people doing reviews and saying “Bare in mind that buying this premium cube won’t magically make your solve times better” but this upgrade really has. I average between a minute and 1:10 usually, but I’m getting much more 40-45 second solves this week.

    It’s super fast lubed up, I’ve had to turn everything up in the tensioning to slow it down. Corner magnets on full strength is really nice, you can feel the cube hitting the corner, which allows me to do more algs without looking, a skill I’m working on so I can get Look Ahead working.

    For lube I bought some Gravitas and Dignitas and I made my own from a YouTube video, 1 part conditioner and 2 parts Vegetable Glycerin. You can use any oil instead of VG apparently.
