The 35K is the X-Cube you should be buying — if you already know you like the system. Same dock, same screen, same power modes, same four Cube series. The only difference is 40% more e-liquid per pod, which translates to longer pod life and a 12% lower cost per puff. It is not a different device; it is a better value proposition on the consumable half. The 25K exists so you can try the system cheaply. The 35K exists so you can use the system efficiently.

Why the 35K Exists
Off Stamp's X-Cube system was designed around the idea that puff count is a pod-level choice, not a device-level decision. The dock is universal — it does not care whether you insert a 25K or 35K pod. The 35K simply holds more e-liquid in a marginally larger pod body, delivering approximately 10,000 additional puffs before needing replacement.
The 35K launched after the 25K and targets users who have already committed to the X-Cube system. If the 25K is the test drive, the 35K is the long-term subscription. It exists purely for economic efficiency: more vaping per pod swap, lower cost per puff, fewer orders to place, and less waste over time.
Everything else about the X-Cube experience — the three power modes, dual airflow, TFT screen, Sweet Cube sweetness control, all four Cube series — is covered comprehensively in our main X-Cube review. This page focuses exclusively on what makes the 35K worth the $3 premium over the 25K.
35K vs 25K — What Is Actually Different
Less than you might expect. Here is the complete list of differences:
| Spec | 25K Pod | 35K Pod | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| E-Liquid Capacity | 18mL | 20mL+ | +2mL (~11% more) |
| Estimated Puffs | ~25,000 | ~35,000 | +10,000 (40% more) |
| Pod Weight | ~38g | ~42g | +4g |
| Pod-Only Price | ~$13.99 | ~$16.99 | +$3.00 (21% more) |
| Kit Price | ~$24.99 | ~$28.99 | +$4.00 (16% more) |
| Cost per 1K Puffs (Pod Only) | $0.56 | $0.49 | -$0.07 (12% cheaper) |
| Pod Lifespan (mod. use) | 7–10 weeks | 10–14 weeks | +3–4 weeks |
Everything that is not on this table is identical between the two: same dock, same 1,100mAh battery, same TFT screen, same power modes, same airflow slider, same dual mesh coil, same four Cube series, same 100mAh pod backup battery, same magnetic connector. The 35K pod is physically compatible with any X-Cube dock including the one that shipped with a 25K kit.
The 35K pod costs 21% more than the 25K but delivers 40% more puffs. That math is the entire value proposition. You pay slightly more per pod and get disproportionately more vaping out of it.
Pod Longevity — Tested Over 14 Weeks
I ran a single 35K Classic Cube Blue Razz Ice pod from first puff to depletion at moderate use (~350 puffs/day in Normal mode) to measure real-world longevity and flavor consistency.
| Week | Est. Puffs Used | E-Liquid Level | Flavor Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | ~2,450 | Full | 9.4 | Peak flavor. Fresh coil, full saturation. |
| Week 3 | ~7,350 | ~80% | 9.3 | Indistinguishable from week 1. Zero degradation. |
| Week 5 | ~12,250 | ~65% | 9.2 | Marginal softening in menthol intensity. Still excellent. |
| Week 7 | ~17,150 | ~50% | 9.0 | Blue razz still crisp. First perceptible difference from day 1. |
| Week 9 | ~22,050 | ~35% | 8.8 | Flavor still strong. This is where a 25K pod would be near empty. |
| Week 11 | ~26,950 | ~20% | 8.5 | Slight thinning. Still enjoyable but noticeably past peak. |
| Week 13 | ~31,850 | ~8% | 8.0 | Flavor is fading. E-liquid running low. Time to plan replacement. |
| Week 14 | ~34,300 | ~2% | 7.4 | Thin, papery. Dry hit risk. Pod replaced here. |
The 35K pod delivered roughly 13.5 weeks of moderate use — very close to the estimated 14-week ceiling. Total puffs: approximately 34,300, which is 98% of the advertised 35,000. That accuracy is impressive for a pre-filled system where "puff count" is famously aspirational.
Flavor Quality in the Final 20%
The critical question for any high-capacity pod: does it taste good all the way through, or does the extra e-liquid come with a longer tail of declining quality?
Based on my testing, the 35K pod maintains above-8.0 flavor quality through approximately 90% of its life — that is roughly 31,500 puffs. The final 10% (weeks 13–14) shows noticeable flavor thinning and a 7.4 score by depletion. For comparison, the 25K pod in my earlier main review maintained above-8.0 through about 92% of its life, ending at 8.9 by depletion.
The difference is minor. The 35K does not introduce a dramatically longer "bad tail" — you get approximately one extra week of slightly-below-peak flavor compared to the 25K. That is a reasonable trade-off for 10,000 additional good-quality puffs.
Value Analysis — Why 35K Wins Long-Term
| Metric | 25K Pod Path | 35K Pod Path | Savings with 35K |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost per pod | $13.99 | $16.99 | — |
| Cost per 1K puffs | $0.56 | $0.49 | $0.07/1K |
| Pods per year (mod. use) | ~5 pods | ~3.5 pods | 1.5 fewer swaps |
| Annual pod cost (after kit) | $55.96 (4 pods) | $33.98 (2 pods) | $21.98 saved |
| Orders to place per year | 3–4 orders | 2 orders | Less logistics |
| Pods to dispose per year | ~5 | ~3.5 | 30% less waste |
The savings are not dramatic per pod — $3 is $3. But the compound effect is meaningful. Over a year, a 35K user places fewer orders, generates less waste, and spends roughly $22 less on pods. Over two years, that is $44 — enough to buy another 35K kit as a backup or gift. The 35K is also simply more convenient: at 10–14 weeks per pod, you swap pods three to four times a year instead of five to six times.
Who Should Buy the 35K (and Who Should Not)
- You already own an X-Cube dock and want the best ongoing value
- You have found your favorite flavor and want it to last longer
- You prefer fewer pod swaps and fewer orders per year
- You vape at moderate-to-heavy levels (300+ puffs/day)
- You want the lowest possible cost per puff
- You are trying the X-Cube for the first time (lower entry cost)
- You like switching flavors frequently (25K depletes faster = more variety)
- You are a light vaper (<200 puffs/day) — a 35K pod may last too long
- You want to sample pods from all four Cube series without committing
The simplest strategy: buy a 25K kit to start. Use the first pod to confirm you like the X-Cube system, the flavor quality, and the form factor. Then switch to 35K pods for every replacement after that. You get the cheapest possible entry followed by the cheapest possible ongoing cost. Your existing dock works identically with both.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a 35K pod on my 25K dock?
Yes. The dock is universal. There is no "25K dock" or "35K dock" — they are identical hardware. The capacity number refers only to the pod. Any X-Cube pod (25K or 35K, any Cube series) works on any X-Cube dock.
Is the 35K pod physically bigger than the 25K?
Slightly. The 35K pod holds approximately 2mL more e-liquid, which makes it about 4g heavier (~42g vs ~38g). The physical dimensions are nearly identical and the magnetic connector is the same. You will not notice a visual difference once it is docked.
Does the 35K pod taste different from the 25K?
No. Same e-liquid formulations, same dual mesh coil, same Cube series. Blue Razz Ice in a 35K pod tastes identical to Blue Razz Ice in a 25K pod. The only difference is how long the flavor lasts before depletion.
Is there a 35K pod for every flavor?
All four Cube series are available in 35K. However, specific flavor availability may vary by stock. The most popular flavors (Blue Razz Ice, Sour Lush Gummy, Miami Mint) are consistently stocked in both 25K and 35K. Check our Off Stamp collection for current availability.
How long does a 35K pod actually last?
In my testing at moderate use (~350 puffs/day, Normal mode), a 35K pod lasted approximately 13.5 weeks and delivered ~34,300 puffs — 98% of the advertised count. Light users (<200 puffs/day) may get 16–20+ weeks. Turbo mode users should expect 9–11 weeks due to accelerated e-liquid consumption.
Why is the 35K rated 8.8 vs the X-Cube's overall 8.6?
The 0.2 bump comes from the Value for Money score increasing from 8.4 to 9.0. The 35K's cost-per-puff advantage ($0.49 vs $0.56) and reduced swap frequency make it a strictly better long-term value. Hardware scores are identical because the dock and features are the same. For the full X-Cube hardware review, see our main review.
