Best replacement for Cuboid?

Sick of my cuboid. Had the atomizer short problem, did the business card trick with it, fixed it for a bit then it stopped working anyways. Found a solution where you open and close the battery cover/lid while holding the fire button and this fixed it for a bit. Now I'm having the Atomizer Not Found problem and I can't find a fix.

I'm sick of this piece of trash and I want a replacement that's reliable. I will be using it with a TFV4. What's the best replacement for the Cuboid that's cheap but better reliability and build quality. I don't need anything crazy, and I want to use the same batteries.

I actually bought an LMC Box Mod that worked okay but would constantly burn my Coils even though the wattage used was the same as the Cuboid. That LMC mod BUTTON broke and I couldn't fix it. In short, most of this vape equipment I go through has horrible quality control and I'm sick of throwing away money on it.

So please Vaping Underground, find me a cheap and reliable replacement. Something with no know common problems like the Cuboid which has many problems. Preferably something with a proven track record, I bought the Cuboid when it first came out and it had glowing reviews. Little did I know so many people would be posting online of their same problems that I have.

Hohm wrecker G2, or Hohm Slice. Some do complain about the battery cover on the Slice though, being "wobbly".

The G2 is a good suggestion; it's tough as nails and backed by good customer service if you should run into any issues. I also hear a lot of glowing reviews of the Alien but it's still pretty new. I would avoid the IPV 6 as it's had some issues with TC and reverse battery protection. What is your budget and specs you are looking for? I would recommend a DNA of some kind. The hcigar VT133 can be had for less than $100 at times (sales and coupon codes) and is supposed to be a great mod. Also if you are ok with 75w there are quite a few affordable DNA 75's out there.

Edit to add - there is always the IPV5, I've seen them as low as $40 from ecig.com and other sites. Other than the magnets on the battery door, it's a solid mod.

From my understanding the ipv6x has had the issues fixed with v1.5. I may be wrong but that's why I've heard.

Yeah, but the problem is there are 3 versions. Daniel at Djslb Vapes goes over all 3 in his update video. Almost all of them have a battery door problem. After a while the battery door just pops open when you put the mod down. It's a shame because it's a great looking mod with a great board. I would definitely take an Ipv5 over it especially with the price difference. The Ipv5 is just a solid work horse. If you're going to get a G2 just make sure you take the time to get to know the board. It's a great mod at a great price. Vaporcube.com has them for under $60 for a refurb. Code is G2REFB. Many of us have bought then there and have had a great experience.

I just went to their site because I'm in the market for a dual 18650 mod. I can't find any refurbs on their page. You got a link to share?

Edit: I found them $99. That code didn't work on my phone though. Maybe it's expired?

the silver G2 hitting best is an inside joke. they are all the same regardless of color. none of them hit harder. the G2 is a better mod but not as nice looking as the alien. they run about 65 bucks right now on vaporcube new or 55 refurbished. Alien kits are hard to find. i got 2. 1 was on ecig.com where i paid 38 bucks for it with 2 batteries and another on misthub.com where i paid 57 bucks for the kit (tank included) Fastech has them for 40 bucks right now pretty much any color but it'll take 3-4 weeks to get

Thanks for all the replies guys. Went with the Smok Alien because of the reviews. It hasn't been out for awhile which worries me, but my TFV4 has been relatively solidly built so I view Smok as a manufacturer that likes to get things right. I also wanted to try out the TFV8 which also comes with the kit. As well, the Fire Bar I'm hoping solves a lot of the problems I've had with crappy fire buttons that stop working after a while.

Size was also a consideration for me. Had an LMC Box Mod before and the size was too much for daily use. Which is why I went against suggestions of the Hohm Wrecker.

Just took my first hits on the Smok Alien. Love that it's lighter than the Cuboid and shorter. Liking the fire bar, and the hits are decent with the TFV4.

Oh and for those wondering about play in the fire bar. None in mine, but I got the Gun Metal/Black version.
