Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Cube-S 80W VW Box MOD from OBS. The OBS Cube-S 80W Box MOD was supplied for the purpose of this review by Ella from Sourcemore.
https://www.sourcemore.com/obs-cube-s-80w-box-mod.html
Introduction
OBS who i am pleased have changed their website to obsvape rather than obsnsmoke first came to my attention with the original Engine! More recently their Cube series of devices have made the greatest waves taking the basic tubular form factor and squaring off the sides for a space saving cubed box mod.
I reviewed both the Cube and Cube-X and although as far as performance and how the device is operated hasn't changed it's been given an aesthetic facelift only keeping the cube face and then introducing a C-frame design (so not really a cube anymore). The Cube-S is a compact power only device with no menu making it one of the easiest mods to operate and with the Auto Lock feature is perfect for someone's first box mod or someone who simply wants to set wattage and vape!
Now with a colour display and coming in 6 Leather spine options let's check out the latest Cube!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Cube-S is a compact ergonomic device that comes in cardboard box packaging with an outer cardboard sleeve. The different colour options refer to the colour/design of the leather spines that sweep round the sides of the device. I received the Black Brown option which has Black Leather one side and Brown the other which meet in the centre of the spine where we have a vertical row of stitching on each coloured Leather section. The colour options are Blue Camo, Black Blue, Classic Black, Black Red, Blue Red and Black Brown.
The face sees the same flat chrome edged pill shaped panel as on previous cubes with a lovely smooth large round fire button at the top with chromed edging, further down on this panel we have the central display followed by branding and a Type C USB port. On one side towards the front we have "CUBE-S" embossed into the Leather and on the opposite side on the main frame we have recessed navigational buttons. The oval base has printed branding and safety marks and moving up top we have a flattened front and curved rear with a 24mm 510 plate and Gold plated, spring loaded 510.
The main construction is Zinc Alloy yet at 120g is not heavy, it's a compact sized comfortable device to use when out and about!

Kit Version
As well as the Cube-S Mod which i received it is also available as a kit paired with the Cube Subohm Tank. Included in that kit is two 0.2ohm mesh coil heads which are a mainstream size so Baby Beast coils and many other brands will be compatible. The standard version has a 4ml capacity while the TPD version is of course 2ml, it also includes a spare glass!

Fitting The Battery
The Cube-S accommodates a single 18650 battery and while a 21700 version would also be great i am loving the small palm size a 18650 allows. To fit the battery the spine of the device needs removing which is done by gripping both sides of the device tightly and giving a tug, it use to be a common way of fitting batteries where the metal sides of the spine section slides tightly over the main frame metal as seen on devices like the Asmodus Colossal.
The spine fits so snuggly it would possibly secure quite nicely just with the precision fit but we do have a large square magnet towards the top and for good measure also a smaller elongated magnet to the underside edge at the bottom. The battery fits snuggly in the battery compartment and we have an attached ribbon to help with removal, my only complaint is the orientation is just Black on Black which really needs to be in White making it more visible! The spine section secures very tightly and we have no movement whatsoever from the spine section or battery!

The Display
The Cube-S has an aesthetically attractive colour display that has used colour very well without going OTT. The display is bright, sharp and well laid out with the only thing i would change being getting rid of the "OBS" top left to allow the battery status to be displayed as a percentage.
Top left as mentioned we have "OBS" and then top right a battery status bar. Below we have a circular design with the wattage central, to the upper right edge of the circular design we have a padlock in either a closed or open position dependant on the status of the device.
Underneath the circular design we have the puff count and then lined up vertically we have voltage followed by resistance and then finally vape duration.
