Does an offstring yoyo need thick lube or thin lube? ---

My Aquarius bearing is dry and binds great without any lube. I have it on a somewhat tight gap setting. I don’t think you need a specific lube viscosity for offstring yo-yos in general. I think it’s about preference and depends on how well you can bind it and how long you want it to be able to spin. ---

yeah, it’s 100% preference. I have thick lube in mine with a wider gap. ---
