I'd definitely go with the iStick. I have the Kbox 120 TC and an iStick 100 Watt (non TC) and the iStick is built much better. The battery cover on the Kbox stays a bit loose (no magnets to keep it on) and it always feels like it's about to fall off. The battery cover on my iStick is good and solid with some really strong magnets.
If you take the battery cover off and squeeze it together you can bend it a little and it'll stop. Don't bend it too much or it may become a little hard to get off but just a little and it'll be perfect.
Another vote for the istick. I don't own either, but I've seen reviews for both. The istick 100 TC looks to be the best istick so far by a long shot. Its got a pretty unique fire button too that looks nice. I've seen both mods in my local shop, and In my opinion the istick looks nicer.
I do own an istick 40 TC. It's since been retired to my back up device that I bring with me and keep in my truck when I go out/to work. It was my main device for a good 3 months though. I never had any problems with it, still works good to this day. My only complaints with it were the battery life, and the plastic coating on the screen has started to peel off. The 100wattTC has two 18650s obviously though. And I don't think that it has the same plastic covering on the screen like the 40 watt does. Don't quote me on that though.

For the money and in my experience, I am leaning toward the Cuboid. Also, the cuboid can be upgraded to 200 and will equalize batteries if the charge on them is not the same. I've also started using the TCR settings and like them alot. Just thought I would stir the pot. Good luck and vape on.
Good suggestion. I do actually own a cuboid. I believe it's even cheaper than the istick 100TC. At the moment, the cuboid is probably the best "bang for your buck" mod out there. 40 bucks on myvaporstore. That's a hell of a deal if you ask me. It's been a solid mod for me so far. The screen on it is great too, much better than the screen on my IPV5. Although I do find myself using my IPV5 quite a bit more than my cuboid. Probably because it feels more comfortable in my hand. The cuboid definitely isn't awkard feeling or uncomfortable in the hand, but it's just a bit square feeling. There's no difference in the performance of the two.
The cuboid is heavier by a good bit. I don't have any problem carrying either around in my pocket though. I always bring one of the two with me to work and carry in my jeans pocket. I wear black "dickies" (dickeys?) pants as my work jeans, which aren't skinny jeans by any means but they also aren't baggy cargo jeans either. In between the two styles. I don't find either device to be uncomfortable in my pocket. Doesn't bother me anymore than my cellphone does. I wouldn't carry the cuboid around in athletic shorts though lol
well I ordered the Istick TC100w yesterday! according to USPS website it should arrive monday! ~$30 at 101vape.com, WHOOP WHOOP!
So the battery life on the Istick 100 TC with 2 batterys isn't very good? That means if I go to buy this I am probably going to want to invest in 4 batterys to stay vaping on it. You know, 2 charged and 2 in the mod; Switch 'em out when the 2 in the mod are getting low?
The battery life will depend on which batteries you buy, and what wattage you vape at. The higher wattage you vape, the quicker the batteries will drain. You should get good battery life out of dual 18650s though. I am a heavy vaper, and I get a full days worth out of my dual 18650 mod, vaping at 42 watts around .35 ohms. That is using samsung 25r batteries. Sometimes, when I use my LGHE4 batteries, they run out towards the very end of the night. But yeah it would be a good idea to buy 4 batteries anyways
Oh and I forgot to mention, please buy a battery case for your batteries. Little plastic cases can be bought for literally like 99 cents. Use the battery case anytime you are carrying around your batteries while they are not in your mod. And for the love of god, please don't put loose batteries in your pockets with spare change and car keys lol.
It might be worth noting that the iStick has an update out that takes it to 120. Great little mod BTW. I find it very pocket friendly, especially with the manual lock switch. That switch is very stiff at first but gets better with a little use.
Got my Istick yesterday! I gotta say I LOVE it so far! The one thing is I only have efest '35a' 18650's (rewrapped 20a's) Until I can swing another VTC4 (forgot my efests so I bought a vtc4 so I could try it out right away) so I havent gone balls out yet. since its regulated, IDK if you use the same process as checking your ohms law on an unregulated parallel or what? and in parallel a dual would double the CDR rating on the battery, right? any help would be appreciated
