Introduction of the SMOK X-Cube Ultra 220W TC

They made the rectangular structural framework of the SMOK X-Cube Ultra from superior quality zinc. This equals to approximately 10%. In addition, it has the dimensions of 55mm wide and 94mm tall. Similar to the X-Cube II, the X-Cube Ultra has a design with top-mounted screen display and buttons. For a mod that contains two high-drain 18650 batteries, the overall size is considerably minimal. The 220-watt power output claimed by SMOK is correct technically. This is if you use it with an ultra-low atomizer. However, in the real world, this figure seems like a major exaggeration. Anyway, pretty much no one vapes at 220 watts.

Design: everything’s in Place

The product is a dual 18650 and consists of a threaded 510 connection. There is an OLED screen that is significantly brighter than the previous model. It has two primary buttons with an additional dedicated bar for firing which they placed attractively on the device. Additionally, it has a magnetic sliding door, and a full color-switching LED. It is precisely these features that result in a one of a kind high-tech user experience. Furthermore, it is totally customizable according to the user’s specific vaping requirements.

What Does the Smok X-Cube Feature?

The mod comes with a few nifty features. It vibrates like a cellphone to draw attention of the user to different vaping conditions. As with most options on the SMOK X-Cube Ultra, you can turn this vibration feature on or off.
The menu of the mod is exactly the same as the one on SMOK H-Priv. Admittedly, it’s not the simplest menu. However, it’s hard to make a simple interface with this many options available. They placed the display screen on top of the mod besides the 510 connector. Consequently, if the atomizer air slots aligns coincidentally with the screen, the external plastic cover may fog up. As a result, you may get a dim screen. Nothing to worry about, as a quick wipe will restore screen clarity. Of course, needing to do this repeatedly may aggravate some users.

Like the previous SMOK X-Cube model, the Ultra has a firing bar with different LED colors. The LED lights activate when you press the bar. The adjustable settings of the LEDs are a prime example to illustrate just how customizable the mod is. You can turn the LEDs on or off. Additionally, you can adjust it to have a rainbow lighting effect or display one of the many monochrome colors available.

How Does the Smok X-Cube Ultra Perform?

The vaping performance is amazing, thanks to the high-power and advanced dual-18650 mod. This is a standard from most mods of the current generation.

The temperature control works without any glitches and offers lots of adjustability. The performance of the chip exceeds expectations. Apparently, SMOK’s marketing about the astonishing power output, can be more like a stretch.

Accessories and Applications

SMOK has been implementing it’s Over the Air or OTA wireless technology. This is for upgrading the firmware via the Bluetooth 4.0 paired with the dedicated SMOK smartphone app. A lot of users are over the moon about this feature. We can’t see any high-tech complications for now.

Battery

Despite the advertising gimmick, the SMOK X-Cube Ultra mod has a comfortable enough power output for most users. Only extreme vapers will require the excess power over 100 watts. Most will never go that high. In fact, the X-Cube Ultra will probably struggle to provide a power output which exceeds 100 watts.

The X3 chip integrated on the regulating board allows smart charging functionality. As a result, it creates a balance between charge and discharge, and extending battery life.

To Buy or Not to Buy

It is safe to say that the SMOK X-Cube Ultra is evidently ahead of its competitors. When it comes to advancements in technology, they are doing something right. As stated in the introduction, those who enjoyed the X-Cube II will certainly love this device even more. It’s because it encompasses all the great features of the former in a better way and a compact design. Considering all the fantastic features of the Ultra, its price is right, heck, more than right. Are you looking for a high-powered, unique, customizable, Bluetooth compatible dual 18650 device? The SMOK X-Cube Ultra is definitely for you.
