Still waiting for my Silicone sleeve to arrive but here's mine anyway just for the hell of it.
Can I ask you where you purchased you're silicone sleeve from ?? I'm looking, but don't want to go the China route to get one.
Has anyone done an endurance comparison between the cuboid and the mini? In my testing I'm getting very little more endurance from the cuboid compared to the mini. For my test I use the same rda with the same build and the same power settings on both mods. In the first round I got 1024 seconds of firing time on the mini and 1200 seconds on the cuboid. In my second round on the cuboid the batteries were finished in 1100 seconds. The mini us using an lg he2 3000 mah. The cuboid is using a pair of 2400 mah batteries that are more used but seem to be in good shape and within .03 volts of each other. I think the difference shouldn't be so small. I encourage others who have both devices to so this test so we can compare notes. May be series setups have an efficiency loss.
The mini has enough power to get me through an entire day. The cubpoid does the same but is done by early morning the next day.
In a regulated device series and parallel are effectively equal. Using two 2500 mAh batteries, in a parallel setup you'll have 5000 mAh at a nominal 3.7v. In a series setup you'll have 2500 mAh at a nominal 7.4v, half the mAh but double the voltage. As current is traded for volts, and vice versa, to produce a certain wattage, the amp hour capacity is identical.FWIW, the Cuboid has the two batteries wired in series, so having the two batteries will not double your battery life. It doubles the amount of power that the batteries can safely produce.
SAMSUNG INR18650-25R.What batteries are the 2400 mah?
If there isn't significantly more endurance I bought the wrong product. I never go above 30 watts. Is the only benefit of 2 cell mods high watt operation?FWIW, the Cuboid has the two batteries wired in series, so having the two batteries will not double your battery life.

A two-battery device, whether series or parallel, should give you roughly twice the runtime of a single-battery device. In theory, and all things being equal, which they never are. Your LG hg2 is a higher capacity battery, your 25r's might be damaged (or mismatched), or something else.SAMSUNG INR18650-25R.

I operated both devices from a fresh charge, with identical power settings and the same rda with the same build, without recharging, until they stopped firing and noted the firing time in seconds that the devices provide. In the first round test the the mini went 1000 seconds and the cuboid went 1200 seconds. I'm not saying my result is definitive. I'm asking others who have both devices to repeat my test and we'll compare results.In a regulated device series and parallel are effectively equal. Using two 2500 mAh batteries, in a parallel setup you'll have 5000 mAh at a nominal 3.7v. In a series setup you'll have 2500 mAh at a nominal 7.4v, half the mAh but double the voltage. As current is traded for volts, and vice versa, to produce a certain wattage, the amp hour capacity is identical.
5000 (2 x 2500 mAh) x 3.7 / 1000 = 18.5
2500 x 7.4 (2 x 3.7v) / 1000 = 18.5
Edit: and in an unregulated device a series setup does not double the power that can safely be used. Quite the opposite. The voltage is doubled so the amp draw (and wattage) significantly increase with the same resistance coil. But that's on an unregulated setup.

As I said, you need batteries that are equal in age, use, and capacity.I operated both devices from a fresh charge, with identical power settings and the same rda with the same build, without recharging, until they stopped firing and noted the firing time in seconds that the devices provide.

I hope my results are wrong because I got the cuboid for endurance, not higher watts.

Anyone own both the Black and Silver versions and can comment on the differences in finish between the two?
