Wow, how much chain lube are you using? It's supposed to go on the chain, not the cassette right?

I usually put a drop on each link end. Nothing more, nothing less. I run it in then wipe it off. The only cog with any lube on it is the one that the chain is running on when I lube it, and only a little. I'm sure some gets on the cogs and hub eventually, but only a little.

A friend of mine though thinks the stuff is gear lube and liberally coats his entire cassette. I think he's a few cards short of a full deck...
