Cuboid tank boiling (some user error involved)

[Redo]

Hey guys. Wanted to post an experience I had with the cuboid. First, I like the device form factor, features, and performance.

However, I feel that the fire button is too easily depressed for the weight of the mod.

so what happened.... I was using the mod with a cleito .2 coil @70 watts. A phone call came and I put it in my fleece pocket that had a subox mini in it also. After a thirty second phone call, I reached into to my pocket to pull out the mod and there was extremely hot liquid spewing out everywhere. The weight of the mod caused the fire button to depress.

I usually turn off mods before putting in my pocket, so that's definitely my fault. The post is a PSA to remind myself and others to be mindful, especially in high power situations.

Mechs will melt all the way down. You get lucky when the coil pops from heat stress. When it doesn't. It's not so good. Something that time and fatigue on switches teaches you when you've been doing this for a while. Even magnet switches will shatter when dropped or sometimes pop out of their groove and no longer repel. I switched to mods with internal buttons so I don't have to fool with safety rings and such - because I do set things down a lot as I go about my day. I've boiled 2 and my woman has boiled 3 killed one outright. Full meltdown from setting it down.

It happens.

Surprised you could not hear it firing. My tank makes crazy sizzling noise when firing at 90w.

Yeah. It was in my pocket. Happened a second time and this time I'm sure I turned it off. I have stopped using the device in situations where it will be stored in my pocket and only put a tank on during use. I'll try selling it off with full disclosure as to why I'm selling it so don't expect to get much for it.

I like my Cuboid, but I am having the other side of the issue of not firing reliably. There are times when I fire it and it says its firing, but it is not. Still a great mod in my opinion, but I wish the quality control was a bit better. For $35 though I won't complain.

I had my Cuboid Mini in my purse and it leaned the wrong way and was firing (I usually hear it but not this time). I finally heard the sizzle when I got in my car. The device was so hot I could not hold it and the drip tip plastic part (by the threads) was melted. So, its best to turn it off when you packing it.

stay safe fellow vapers, best to lock the mod when its in pockets/bags/purses

I have the regular Cuboid, not the Mini and carry it in my pants pocket all day at work. I have had a couple of times that I forgot to turn it off, but I usually feel the warmth on my leg or someone comments about how good I smell and I realize that vapor is escaping from my pocket. I try to always lock it or power it off.
I have had zero issues with the way it performs and my brother has one too as his daily vape with no problems.

This is the only device I do this with. I recommend this as well.
