Off Stamp Crystal Cube vs. Classic Cube: What Are the Differences?

The greatest thing about the Off Stamp X-Cube is the fact that it offers a wide variety of different experiences in a single package. After releasing the original X-Cube device, Off Stamp expanded the product into an entire ecosystem of pods that all work with the Off Stamp battery. Off Stamp calls the pods “Cubes,” and there are four different types at the time of writing: Crystal Cubes, Classic Cubes, Ice Cubes and Sweet Cubes. Given how quickly Off Stamp has expanded the range, we’re certain that more are on the way.

The variety of Off Stamp Cubes can potentially create a little confusion if you’re new to the ecosystem, though, and that’s why this guide exists. What’s the difference between a Crystal Cube and a Classic Cube, and why should you buy one or the other? What flavors are available for each cube type, and are there any special things that you need to know before you buy? This guide will help to clarify what everything means.

What Are the Types of Off Stamp Cubes?

We’ll begin this guide with an overview of the four different Off Stamp Cube types that are available at the time of writing. We’ll explain how to identify each Cube and explain what their defining features are.

Off Stamp Crystal Cube

• Lasts: Up to 35,000 puffs
• Main Feature: Clear e-liquid tank

If you’re buying an Off Stamp kit right now, there’s a good chance that it’ll include a Crystal Cube because that’s essentially the flagship offering for this device at the time of writing. The “Crystal” refers to the fact that the Crystal Cube stores its vape juice in a clear tank, which is a first for any product from Off Stamp.

The clear tank of the Crystal Cube gives you two main benefits.

• It allows the Crystal Cube to deliver more total puffs than other Off Stamp Cubes: up to 35,000 puffs compared to the 25,000-puff lifespans of the other Cube types. That’s because the waste is reduced compared to the wick-based designs of the other Cubes. You can use almost every drop of e-liquid in the tank.
• It allows you to observe your e-liquid supply directly. The X-Cube does have an e-liquid meter on its display, but that’s only an estimate. If you’re using one of the other Cubes, you never know exactly how much vape juice is left. With the Crystal Cube, there’s no doubt and no anxiety.

Off Stamp Classic Cube

• Lasts: Up to 25,000 puffs
• Main Feature: None

The Classic Cube is the original pod that Off Stamp included with X-Cube kits. It’s still in production because it has some flavors that aren’t available for any other type of Cube. The Classic Cube has no special features, so the main reason why you’d want to buy it is because you want to try a flavor that you can’t get otherwise.

Off Stamp Ice Cube

• Lasts: Up to 25,000 puffs
• Main Feature: Adjustable ice level

The Off Stamp Ice Cube was the first pod for a two-part disposable vape to feature adjustable flavor, and it allows you to adjust the level of menthol introduced into the vapor by clicking a button on the side of the pod. When you click the button, indicators on the front of the pod light up to let you know which ice level you’re currently using.

You might be curious about why the Off Stamp Ice Cube – and the Sweet Cube described below – are opaque and not translucent like the Crystal Cube. That’s because of the way that vapes with adjustable flavor work. One e-liquid chamber is stacked over another. Each chamber has its own adjustable coil assembly, and a single air path passes through both of them. The chambers use thick absorbent wicks to hold their vape juice, preventing the additive from mixing with the main flavor. So far, no one has developed clear tank that can mix two e-liquids – not yet, at least.

Off Stamp Sweet Cube

• Lasts: Up to 25,000 puffs
• Main Feature: Adjustable sweetness level

The Off Stamp Sweet Cube has the same type of adjustable-flavor design as the Ice Cube, with the difference being that the additive is used to adjust the pod’s sweetness rather than its ice level. The pod’s functionality is otherwise identical, and it lasts about the same number of puffs. As you might expect, though, the flavor selection is geared more toward options that perform best with adjustable sweetness rather than ice.

Off Stamp Cubes: FAQ

Can I use the Off Stamp Classic Cube battery with Crystal Cubes?

Yes. If you want to try the new Crystal Cubes, there’s no need to buy a new Off Stamp battery. Your existing X-Cube battery will work with all X-Cube pods, including any future pod styles that haven’t been released yet.

How do I know when an Off Stamp Classic Cube, Ice Cube or Sweet Cube is out of e-liquid?

The X-Cube battery has a meter on the screen that tells you approximately how much e-liquid remains in the pod. However, you should treat the information on the display as an approximation because the pod may still have some puffs remaining even when the meter reaches the bottom. When the meter says that the pod is getting low, though, you should make sure that you have a new pod ready to use.

Which Off Stamp Cube is the best?

The best thing about the X-Cube platform is that it encourages you to try new things and discover everything that’s available. Ultimately, the best Cube is the one that has your favorite flavor.

Are Off Stamp Crystal Cubes better than Classic Cubes?

An argument can be made that the Crystal Cubes have the best airflow and overall flavor quality due to their tank-based design. Taste is subjective, though, and we encourage you to try all four pod types and see which one works best for you.

Do Crystal Cubes really last longer than Classic Cubes?

Yes. The reason why the Classic Cube has a lower advertised puff count is because if its design. The vape juice is held in a wick inside the pod’s internal e-liquid container, and the coil is positioned at the middle of the wick. As you vape, the coil vaporizes the e-liquid in the center of the wick. More e-liquid then flows in from the outer portion of the wick, refreshing the coil. Most disposable vapes use this system. It works well, but some of the vape juice ends up being wasted because it remains stuck in the corners of the wick. Tank-based systems don’t have that problem, and that’s why Crystal Cubes deliver more puffs even though they have the same amount of e-liquid.

Can fake or third-party Off Stamp Cubes damage the X-Cube battery?

Although third-party Cubes are unlikely to damage the X-Cube battery, it’s important to avoid any Cubes that aren’t made to the same high standard as Off Stamp’s official pods. Poorly made pods may exhibit leaks or connection issues that cause poor performance, error messages or an unsatisfactory experience. We guarantee that the Off Stamp Cubes sold on VapeJuice.com are authentic.

Why are some Off Stamp flavors only available as Classic Cubes?

Off Stamp’s flavor selection has always had minimal overlap between products. The lack of overlap gives people a reason to try new products when they’re released. Although the Classic Cubes aren’t as advanced as the other Cube types, they remain in production so existing X-Cube fans can continue buying their favorite flavors.

How should I store spare Off Stamp Cubes?

Keep your Off Stamp Cubes sealed in their original packages until you’re ready to use them. Exposure to heat, light and air can cause a Cube’s flavor quality and nicotine potency to degrade.
