Hello everyone! Welcome back to our new review! Today let’s take a look at a new member of OBS‘ Cube series, the OBS CUBE S 80W Box Mod. The mod kit has a single 18650 battery with a high amp to support all-day-vaping. Its power output ranges from 5W to 80W. Most notably, the Cube-S is loaded with an intelligent chipset to identify and prevent overheat, which enables the device to keep delivering safe and stable performance. Such friendly design reminds us of its mod counterpart Pulse V2 95W from Vandy Vape, which does a great job in overheat protection, as well as producing dense vapors. Then how does Cube-S perform? Will it do better? Keep reading our review below and find out more!

Build Quality and Design
The OBS CUBE S is an ergonomic device that comes with a compact size of 86mm by 34mm by 28mm. The construction is made of durable zinc-alloy and weighs 120g, which feels solid but not heavy. It features an elegant leather design sweeping around the sides of the device. The leather is very soft to touch, providing a comfortable hand feel.
The logo “CUBE-S” embossed into the leather on one side towards the front of the device. At the top, there is a large round fire button with chromed edging. It is quite responsive and clicky. On the opposite side of the mainframe, there are two small adjustment buttons. The gold-plated and spring-loaded 510 connectors can accommodate 25mm atomizers without overhang.
The OBS Cube-S features an 0.96inch LED colour screen, which is well laid out and clearly shows all the vaping info you would like to know. Below the screen, there is the branding “OBS” and a type-c charging port. Overall, the OBS Cube-s is a well built and compact device!
Functions and Features
OBS Cube S is very easy to operate. You can press the fire button 5 times to turn on/ off the device. The adjustment buttons can be used to set the output wattage from 5w all the way up to 80w. When the battery removed and the device is powered down, the puff counter will automatically reset every time and can’t be manually reset.
Like other mods we commonly see, the OBS Cube-S utilizes several protective features to ensure an enjoyable vaping journey, such as overtemperature protection, low voltage protection, short circuit protection, over-discharge protection, voltage protection and overtime protection.
Battery and Charging
The OBS Cube-S is compatible with a single 18650 battery. To fit the battery you need to remove the spine of the device by gripping both sides of the device tightly and giving a tug. The spine section secures firmly and there is no movement from the spine section or battery. The battery fits snuggly in the battery compartment and there is an attached ribbon to help with removal. The OBS Cube-S uses Type C USB with 2A charging rate and it supports pass-through!
Verdict
As you can see that the OBS Cube S is an attractive and powerful box mod that impressed me in every way. The construction is very durable and the leather wrap is quite smooth to touch. The rounded corners and edges provide a comfortable hand feel. It also has nice battery management. The automatic lock for wattage is perfect for new vapers.
Overall, OBS did a fantastic job on the design of the CUBE-S, which has been one of my daily rotation of devices and will continue to be there. If you are looking for an ergonomic and compact box mod, I highly recommend you to grab this one!
