OBS Crius RTA?

[izen]

I think the issue also has to do with the fact that a full tank lasts you more than 6 hours! if you empty a tank in 15 minutes that metal gets very hot and therefore expands. I think that causes leaking in all tanks - at least that's my experience If I'm understanding wnat you're saying of course!

I'm sorry if I didn't communicate my experience more precisely. I don't think we're on the same page, from even the same book. Suffice it to say; I consumed about one ml per hour, and over about six hours time there were no leaks. Another nine hours have passed and it's all still dry. I think it was down to the wicking that caused any leaks from my tank. That's all. Thanks anyway.

Huh, Thanksgiving was in October? Happy Turkey Day

A stream of juice shot out from the afc like my tfv4mini... I stuffed the juice holes with cotton...

Could use a favor from someone here : I don't have a Vernier or Micrometer handy and I'd like to know the size of the Hex tool / Allen key for the Crius Velocity build deck 'grub' screws... if one of y'all could measure it for me... that would be GREAT! As I'd like to get a spare. Thanks! -Rob

.050 in or 1.25mm

Its actually 1.27mm if its like the Aromamizer or Ubertoot clone.

Thanks (fd & A) for the sizing - 50 thousandths is exactly 1.27mm - Appreciate it !!!

Was wondering if the Crius would be a good addition to a subox/subtank mini? Looking for a bit better airflow than the mini with the rba. Anyone tried any higher ohm builds like 1 ohm or above? I have been using 1.5 kanthal at 15 watts on the mini rba and the amount of vapor and flavor is as good as the .5 occ coils at 30 watts. Amazing battery life! I have a few dual coil rda's but would like another tank and teally like the design of the Crius.

The first time I tried building on this I did some Vertical Coils and the thing was leaking all over. Also the Orings are so thin and tiny I had trouble getting a seal on the glass. The chimney on this thing is really small width wise so I suppose going to have to use smaller coils than what I would in the aromamizer or the cthuluhu.

I actually put way too big of coils at first some horizontal coils which caused a short and then when I go to unscrew everything I absolutely could not get the chimney to come off. I finally got it off with a tool but in this process I cracked the glass(at least it came with a backup glass piece though)

It seemed to leak from the deck right above the airholes. Its where you twist to adjust airflow right between the two pieces just a constant slow leak. Perhaps this is because the vertical coils and the fact Ive never wicked this thing before thats causing the leaking. I also noticed that when you screw the deck in as much as you can it really never stops turning so its hard to tell if its all the way tight. Same thing with the top cap it seems to keep turning even when its all the way tight but thats just cause the adjustable airflow on the bottom and the side fill up top I guess...

Quality tank though that came with a nice drip tip and plenty of spare accessories(thankful for that extra glass piece) I just got some learning to do, have to be patient.

I hated the drip tip it came with, but that's me.

Hopefully, others will have a different perspective? Really looking for a Crius/Subtank Mini comparison as I was thinking of ordering later today.
Thanks

Good addition to the Subtank - but I haven't been able to get a 1+ ohm build on this since I got rid of my 28g kanthal. .62 was the highest I could do with 26g and the vape is much more intense than the Subtank and runs through juice quite a bit faster.

 

[Vapenstein]

The Crius is to the Subtank as the Subtank is to a Kayfun. IMO.

 

[roflwaffles]

The o-ring at my fillport has expanded to the point where it likes to slip out a bit when I close the port - any ideas on a fix?

 

[Marc411]

Replace it with a Buna 70 O-ring. 18 X 1 for a nice tight fit. If you have a 17 X 1 it will work too.

Metric Buna O-rings 18 x 1mm Price for 50pcs

Is this the kind you're talking about?

 

[Marc411]

Edit

Yep those are the one's

I got them here:

1mm X 18mm Metric Buna-N 70 O-ring [N1.00X018] : The O-Ring Store LLC, We make getting O-Rings easy!

 

[Hightech Redneck]

Mine did that and I just massaged it around the tank and it's been fine. But are the stock rings silicone instead of the nitrile as they mentioned ordering? They don't seem to hold their shape that well or maybe just don't have the elasticity.

 

[Marc411]

I find that the silicone have to much elasticity and deform or pull out of the O-ring channel way to easy. I've had the Buna's in mine since I got them and so far so good. The 18mm is a tighter fit and the 17mm isn't quite as tight. Running the 18mm on most and testing the 17mm on one.

Probably to soon to tell how they do for the long haul but better then the silicone so far.

Got my velocity decks today. These are much nicer to build on

And, yes, its a 1.27mm allen wrench for the grubs. Bear in mind if you buy the decks only like I did,.they don't come with one.
