Differences Between New and Old Ploom CUBE | Price Difference, Colors, and Accessory Compatibility

Hello, I'm Genki, a heated tobacco blogger. The differences between the new and old Ploom CUBE can be verified through their colors, textures, and suggested retail prices at launch. For accessories, since "discontinued" and "cannot be attached" do not mean the same thing, I have organized the direction of compatibility indicated by the manufacturer.

Comparing the New and Old CUBE via Official Announcements

Source:JT 2026 Design Refresh Announcement, ,JT 2025 Original CUBE Release Announcement. Comparing the suggested retail prices at launch shows a 1,000 yen difference. This value does not compare current used prices, store discounts, or remaining stock of the old colors.

We Have Not Confirmed That Size and Weight Are Identical

The 2025 material lists the old CUBE at 45.0×77.5×24.1mm (width, height, depth) and approximately 85.4g. Meanwhile, the 2026 new product announcement reviewed here does not contain a comparison table showing identical dimensions and weight for the new and old models. Therefore, we have retracted the previous statement that "size and weight remain unchanged" and removed the copied figures from the new product column.

From the announcement of an exterior design refresh alone, we do not infer that every aspect of the internal structure or heating performance is either identical or improved. Please check the product documentation and support for the new colors for required specifications.

Guidance That New Panels and Back Covers Can Also Be Used on the Old CUBE

The direction of compatibility is important here. We do not reinterpret the official guidance that "new accessories can be used on the old device" in reverse to mean "all old accessories can be used on the new device." The previous explanation that "old accessories uniformly cannot be attached" also lacked sufficient evidence, so we have revised this to recommend checking each product individually.

If you wish to continue using accessories you already own, please check the product name and model number and confirm compatibility with the new CUBE with the manufacturer. Do not assume accessories for AURA or older different models share the same shape.

Checking Retailers and Included Items for the New Model

Correction (2026-10-20): We kept this page as a frequently searched comparison between the new and old models and added sources for the launch prices of both. Unverified assertions that the dimensions and weight are identical and that all old accessories are incompatible have been removed. This article is not the result of physically measuring or test-fitting the devices.
