The Cuboids will come with the same 510 as the mini ..... I expect
Doesn't look like it. Looks more like the Evic VT but never saw that disassembled to see if it was like the VTC under the hood come to think of it.

Yeah that's different .... thought the RX, VTC Mini & Cuboid would all have the same
Seems like VT & Cuboid are both assembled from top/bottom and they didn't want to take a chance of the 510 falling out of the keep during assembly & went with a better 510.

I was hoping the Cuboid would be like the RX I have no problem with that. I did a fix on them with a little pies of thin cardboard and works just fine now I have to decide if I want to do that everytime or just go for the Cuboid. I'm not even sure if I would upgrade it to 200w. I would never need that. Also the battery door kind of worries me. I've got them all packed up and ready to go to the Post Office. They sent me the form and said they have a lot of Cuboids in stock. So now have to decide if I want to do it or not. Make up my mind I'm terrible at doing that. I probably wouldn't get them till next week and I will have to buy some more batteries so I'm wondering how much better it will be. I will never need that kind of wattage but the battery life would be nice.

Did you look inside to see why it wobbles? I took mine apart. the 510 had a squrish flange on it that slided back in a slot. the slot is just a bit larger than it needs to be. Some epoxy on the flange when it is slid back in there would fix the wobble but you would never get it out again.
Yep they wobble a bit on the tanks with long 510's but they are not going anywhere.
I may cut a plastic piece and put back in ther to tighten things up. Maybe not. works fine just a tad of wobble.

Yeah the piece of cardboard worked just fine the problem is the STM doesn't quit screw in far enoough and I watched someone take them apart and there is really nothing permanent in there holding the 510 and it is just a little shallow. It is an old problem and I kinda hoped they would have fixed it but no go. But that's the problem it just screws in with maybe a .5mm gap and since the 510 isn't really anchored it wobbles and rattles if you shake it.

I have seen other complaints surrounding the STM and VTCm. My STM has been the only atty that shows a slight wobble on my VTCm. All my other attys snug down great! I believe the STM simply has a very slightly longer 510 shaft that doesn't play 100% well with the VTCm. I suppose this is what happens in a mostly standardless industry. The wobble on mine is VERY slight and has survived numerous drops/falls without any apparent damage.

I do have my eye on a Cuboid, however. But the Stout also has my attention...

I have seen some 510 protectors but cant find them now

They are 22mm discs which are about 0.5mm

If I can find them will throw up a link but mentioning them now may bless us with their appearance

Yep like I said it wobbles just a tad but is not going anywhere. Unlike some mods that had the 510 hot glued in and such.
