Joyetech Cuboid 150 watt

[Paul O'Brien]

Tried to tighten up the kayfun 510 screw but same reading .

When i put on some tanks i can feel when contact is being made with the mod pin and still a full turn to go till tight on the base. So good connection there and pushing the mod pin i am getting a few mm play and springs back .

Using trition and nautilus premade coils on some tanks and then kanthal 28ag on the RTA's .

Thing is i put tanks on either of my picos and same reading . Then onto the cuboid and out by up to 0.3 of an ohm .

I'm starting to suspect previous owner did a job on the 510 and that is what is causing extra internal resistance.

Yea that is why I suggested to try and lift the cuboid 510 with a flathead and see if you can raise it a little off of the o-ring . Other way around would be to make the Atty 510 connection longer to make the connection tighter.

If you can't get the Cuboid's Ω's reading to come in line with what you want it to, then just adjust you're power (watts) by 1 or 2, up or down, so that you can get the same taste/vapor that you do with you're other mod's. Sometimes a mod's resistance reading is just a little out of spec with other mod's resistance readings (especially mod's from different manufacturers or from different hardware versions). I wouldn't really worry about it too much, unless you notice a difference in you're vape experience, then do like I suggested and adjust you're power (wattage) a little. Hope you get it to working within you're range of acceptability.

P.S. I also have different mod's that read a different Ω's reading from one another with the same coil/atomizer attached, for a variety of reasons.

Actually, the way TC works (this is after all the TC forum and the Cuboid is a TC enabled device) the base cold resting resistance does matter and effects the resulting vape.

• if the resistance is read to low - the vape will be lame (cold)
  
• if the resistance is read to high - the vape will be hotter

There are a number of work-a-rounds. Namely, simply adjust your TEMPERATURE ether up or down to compensate or if the reading is to low you can warm up your tank/coil by firing it and then register+lock in the new higher resistance.

I'll have to admit that I don't switch tanks much anymore. Once I get a build+tank+mod all working in unison I'll leave them married for weeks or months at a time. Then again I have way to many tanks and mods to juggle to be swapping things around all the time.

Agreed, @GeorgeS. It amazes me how many people THINK they are having a TEMP CONTROLLED/LIMITING vape when actually they are just having a TEMP PROTECTED vape which only protects them from a burny hit on an empty tank.

I still use the sample Cuboid I got for beta testing way back. It's flawless and operates wonderfully while TEMP CONTROLLING/LIMITING.

Hi just picked up one of these used and having issues with resisatnce readings .
All my tank reading higher than on any other mod by 10-15%
My nautilius mini with 1.8 coils reads 2.06
My Trition 2 with 1.8 coils reads 2.10
My Kayfun mini v3 with 1.65 coild reads 1.85
My bachelor nano with 0.5 coils reads 0.6
My other mods are 2x istick picos

I have loaded different firmware 3.03 3.10 3.11 3.13 and still the same

How will this affect my vaping , as mainly MTL high ohms at 7-8 watts ?
Do I just need to adjust to bring down th voltage a little ?

Should I just try get my money back as this could be a sign of futher failure ?

Any freedback would be most welcome

This is the post that led me to think that he wasn't running Temp control but in Power mode, and thus my reply was along those lines.

I just jumped in after reading GeorgeS post. Didn't read back. You're good. My post still stands though, many peeps just aren't taking full advantage of TC.

No problem, and I do agree with you that many are not taking full advantage of TC. I don't believe that the industry, as a whole, has done itself any favors by leaving the end users to their own devices when it comes to education on the most efficient use of Temp Control devices and how to set TC up. Too many are rank amateurs that are just sent out of a B&M with all this new Vape gear that they know nothing about thinking that detailed instruction manual will be inside the box. That's just not right. Thank goodness that there are folks here, and on other forums, that are happy to help those folks out. I think by now that any question that could have been asked about TC, has been asked at least twice, and answered. I would imagine that you, and other TC experts (which I am not) get frustrated with the industries general lack of participation when it comes to education. The industry seems all too happy to collect the money for vape gear that the new vaper doesn't quite understand. It's a shame. Thanks again for you're time and effort, I've seen it help more than one person that was lost and realized they were clueless when it came to TC. Have a Good One, and nice talking with you.

It is a shame... but it is reality too and I don't blame them.

"With participation comes obligation," also known as "deniable plausibility."

When you are in an unregulated market, and you make an effort to improve an other's understanding, you are responsible for the outcome. "Well, the person at the drive-up window handed the hot cup of coffee to me!"

To them; the world says: "Here's yer sign!"

To you; the world says: "Here's your law suit!"

Manufacturers will get involved enough to make the sale and no more. Anything else is bad business. Just one more area where human beings seem hell-bent on destroying themselves with the "a dollar is worth more than wisdom" mentality.

Hear, Hear. Well said. Still too bad though. You're right, too many people have more Dollars than Sense.

There really is no industry standard for the 510 connection. Considering that the 510 Connection originated with the Joyetech 510 E-Cig I would think that Joyetech just makes their devices all the same.

Welp, my Cuboid died. It was an initial release sample I received for beta testing way back. Not bad considering it was my edv/adv mod. It was still sad to see the "atomizer short" error. I may get another one.

initial release sample I received for beta testing

Wow !! That was a while ago. I've still got my (1) Cuboid and (1) VTC mini that I bought together right after the Cuboid came out, and they are both working just fine, so far that is. I've had to sand down the 510 pins on my Lemo V1, Taifun GT-2-S so that I could get them to sit flush on the Cuboid, but no other problems.

What does the 510 pin and the insulator surrounding it look like? Most likely there's something going on there if you're getting a short error even with no topper attached.

Everything looks fine. It only has the atomizer short error when attys are installed. I'll take it apart to check things out when I get a chance.
