Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

La Cube proposes an original design which finds its inspiration in the universe of the games since it resumes, in the main lines, the features of a dice to play.
So despite this name Cube, our Box is not really one, it is rather stretched and looks more like a rectangular parallelepiped. The eight angles are all truncated and this is where we recognize the idea of ​​the dice.


The body is zinc alloy, 4 large faces are dressed with black pads. One integrates the OLED screen, another controls them. The fire button is a fairly large metal disk placed in "head of column", just below 2 smaller buttons (+/-), round and metal too. This face ends with the inevitable micro-USB port.

 

 

The top of our Mod receives a plate of 25.5mm of diameter, enough to receive atomizers of good size without overflow.

 

The overall quality of manufacturing is more than correct and it is fully in line with the tariff position.
In terms of aesthetics, the Cube byViewer discretion is for me successful, it is pretty, original and well finished, in short it is very attractive.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

Viewer discretion mainly done in terms of operating modes since it only offers a simple variable power mode capable of reaching 80W with a resistor whose value must be between 0.1 and 3Ω.
The Box wants to be reactive since the ignition of the resistance is done in 1 hundredth of a second.
The Box obviously has the necessary protections for your safety:
- Short circuit protection
- Overload protection
-Cut off at 10 seconds
- Overheating protection
-Protection against the discharge of the battery
The Box is equipped with a 3000mAh battery that is recharged through the micro-USB port. This system is compatible with a fast charge at 1.5A, which allows the battery to be recharged more quickly (2 to 3 hours). The function is pass-through so if you ever get caught out, you will be able to shoot a few puffs during this operation.
We therefore have a simple, safe and effective Box, in short the essentials.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

Viewer discretion give us the CUBE in a small box, big matchbox style, orange yellow and black which reminds a little of the colors of Caterpillar. On the top, the photo of the Box, a small summary of the main characteristics and the contents of the box in the form of small pictograms. On the small sides, the scratch code and the links to Facebook and Instagram in the form of a QR code.
On the back, the normative logos, the table showing the different colors available and a small yellow point indicates the color of the Box which is inside.
In the box, there is the CUBE, the USB cable and a manual translated into several languages ​​including French.
A correct presentation, complete and in line with the selling price.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

To start on this point, let's talk ergonomics. The original form of the CUBE gives it very good user comfort. Indeed, it is easy to find its marks and the Switch falls right under the index. The Box is quite compact and although it is not a featherweight, it is easy to carry in a pocket.
As for the settings, there are only two manipulations to know. 5 clicks on the switch to turn the Box on or off, a classic. Then there are the three clicks, either on the minus or on the plus to unlock the power adjustment controls, the only modifiable parameter. Note that the locking of these controls is automatic and that it activates as soon as the adjustment is finished and you take a shoot.
Note also that the screen is clear and easy to read, it displays all the information usually present on this type of Mod, apart from the intensity of the current.


Charging is done through the micro-Usb port, this operation is quite fast since the CUBE support 1.5A charging current. The autonomy is very correct and will depend on the power you ask it to deliver.
The quality of vape is good, the Chipset is responsive and accurate enough, we are pretty good.
In short, a beautiful product, simple and pleasant to use thanks, among other things, to a return to basics with this unique mode (variable power) and to a well-felt design.

Overall average of the Vapelier for this product: 4.5 / 5 4.5 5 out of stars

The mood ticket of the reviewer

I could conclude this way: a Mod with an original look, beautiful, easy to use and effective, intended for the greatest number. But I know it would be a little easy.
So yes, this “Cube”Is well designed and the build quality is absolutely correct. It is a product which will flatter your ego and which will not leave the Vapoteurs of your entourage indifferent. Aesthetics is a particularly successful point.

The operation is simple, it will not pose any problem. The novices will be able to launch without any brake. Only one mode available the WV (variable wattage), it contributes of course to the simplicity of the product and at the same time, this mode is the one that most Vapoteurs prefer, so I find this choice wise and logical.

The Vape is quite correct, the electronics are responsive and rather precise.
The ergonomics are good, this particular shape is both pretty and comfortable in use.

The only negative point for me is the built-in battery, but the recharging is quite fast and in reasonable use (20 / 25W or less) the autonomy remains very good.
A good product to which I want to award a TOP Mod. It does not quite have the required score but I want to salute the original design, the simple and efficient electronics, the affordable price and finally the fact that this product can be suitable for a beginner but also for a more vaping. hardened.

Good vape,

Vince.
