Angstrom Gravitas and Angstrom Dignitas are a pair of modified silicones. Dignitas is a medium viscosity silicone lube that uses micro-scale nitride that lubricates and protects your puzzle from friction wear. Gravitas is a high viscosity silicone lube that uses two nano-scale compounds to maximize smoothness and control. Both lubes are specially engineered to last far longer than unmodified silicones.
Want to do science while improving the performance of your cube? Angstrom Celeritas is a two-part lube that undergoes a chemical reaction when combined. MAX Command is a reliable control-based lube that works great on cores and pieces.
We hope this guide helped you better understand our lube selection. Log in Cart 0. How exactly do you navigate picking a lube with so many different options out there? This guide explains it all! Leave a comment Name Email. Step 2: After removing the edge piece, the entire Cube has to be disassembled piece by piece. Step 3: Once all the pieces have been removed the core can be seen. Lubricant can be applied to each of the screws that connect the centerpieces to the core.
Step 4: The screws can be exposed by slightly pulling the centerpieces away from the core and adding one or two drops of lube. Ensure the lubricant also reaches the springs by pulling the centerpieces in and out. Step 5: After applying oil to all the parts of the Cube core, the Cube can be carefully reassembled. It is important to note that only a few drops of lube are needed. Lubrication is a big contributor to attaining faster speedsolving times and becoming a successful speedcuber.

After lube is applied, it is usually best to not time a solve immediately, but rather give the lube a few minutes to work in. It is also recommended that you do not apply lube to very stiff cubes, as this can sometimes make them even harder to turn; instead, try putting vaseline in the cube, then after a week or two, clean it out and then lubricate it.
The range of lubricants available affect each of these aspects in differing degrees. For example, silicone oils tend to reduce static friction, while increasing dynamic friction.
Choose the right lube, or it will make it worse. The right lube depends on player and cube. There is no single agreed-on recommendation. A mixture of lubricants may suit your needs. Experiment in a rational manner, trying to solve specific problems.
If a cube becomes dirty or extremely gummy, it may be necessary to disassemble it and clean the pieces with soapy water and a toothbrush before attempting to relube. Silicon-based lubricants are a highly popular and effective way to lubricate cubes. Silicone sprays leave a smooth coat of lube over the cube's plastic to make it glide smoothly over other surfaces, thus making your cube turn smoother. There is a wide range of lubes from 5cc to 25cc, from Weight 5 to Weight 1.
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. TheCubicle Silicone Lube. Link: [1]. A high viscosity pure silicone oil fluid. Very Effective and has risen to one of the most popular lubricants on sale. The lubricant is a little expensive but only very little is needed and it is said to last a very long time. The same silicone oil dimethylsiloxane fluid could be found at most local hobby stores with a much cheaper price, though missing Lubix's syringe.
Before Cubesmith wasn't no longer available again, Cubesmith used to sell low and high viscosity lube here. Each syringe contained 5 cc of lube.
If you were gonna use it, avoiding getting the lube on the stickers, as it may compromise the adhesive. Each order also came with 2 Cubesmith logo stickers. Used by many cubers, this lubricant works very well. However, it can melt plastic temporarily, so it is recommended that you completely disassemble your cube to lubricate it, and that you let the pieces dry well before reassembly.
Available in the US and Canada. CRC silicon spray has been used by many cubers. This is a very good lubricant to use. It will dry out soon, but works well. It is known to eat cubes too, so use with caution.
Available at some hardware stores in Australia. A silicone-based spray lubricant, popular in the UK. Cheap to buy and often gets good reviews.
