Great. Moving away from Cube's default slicer is a good step at getting better quality from the printer ;). Personally i'm using Slic3r at the moment.

Cube's default glue is actually not very good in my opinion; it does work ok with both PLA and ABS, but i get better results with generic glue stick + Cube glue on top of it. With PLA, generic glue stick works better than Cube's glue. With ABS, generic glue stick does not work very well, maybe it's the temperature.
I've used to brands of glue stick, Staedler and some no-name from local store (Finland). Also as my original Cube glue is running out, i've tried another, liquid glue in addition to the glue stick and it seems to work quite well.
I also have blue painters tape and this spray: http://taerosol.com/en/202-plastic-spray/ but haven't tested them yet as the material's i'm currently printing adhere well enough to glue (PETG, Bamboofill)
