OBS Crius RTA?

[ashtrayogdc]

I was able to pull the positive block straight out of the deck with some pliers, and push the 510 post out with a screwdriver.

I don't have any insulators that are a direct fit (surprise, surprise) However, I can make one fit with some grinding.

But then it hit me.... How about JB Weld? It's non-toxic, non-conductive, and temp safe up to 600 degrees F (higher than PEEK). I can smear a bit into the insulator channel and make my own custom fit insulator that isn't ceramic lol.

Does anyone have any thought on why this would not be a good idea?

I am curious about this as well, would be pretty sweet if you could. Though it's just ridiculous that you have to even consider it, it should have just been peek to begin with. I am dumbfounded as to why they didn't use it.

jefx....I am hoping OBS comes out with a replacement peek insulator. Pulling the block and replacing the insulator isn't that hard to do.

MMW, I just order one from them and if you ask them to inspect the deck, juice flow and AFC they will open and QC it for you.

They ship pretty quick and had great deals during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Wet Vapes, vape Royalty and REO mods have some of the best CS in the industry right now.

I have the black v3 and checked my deck and found that it is cracked too. Emailed wetvapes and see what they will do.

For those of you with cracked decks, are you having leaking issues?

I has some slight seepage from the area between the juice flow control and afc.

My guess is cost. I googled PEEK sheets and it's crazy expensive. Like $600 for a few square feet of it.

So looks like OBS just took the cheapest route for insulator material and they don't have the quality control to spot the defects from using it.

I am on longer hopeful that mine won't be cracked as well. Will find out soon. Just hope they get this fixed.

OBS better lookout, if they can't get the QC straightened out it seems that there may be a worthy contender.

Cool where is it for sale yet? Could you post a link please? Thanks

Looks like it's still just a preorder for now, have seen it on multiple sites though. It's the Geekvape Griffin RTA.

Damn... Thats like a obs crius clone lol

 

[freedogg]

Hope they didn't clone the insulator!!

 

[Marc411]

I can say from personal experience that OBS cares very little the consumer. Attempts to discuss the problems with their tank have drawn a blank. They are the opposite side of the spectrum from a manufacturer like Cthulhu Mod's whom answers e-mails and want's feedback on the design and function of their tanks.

Two suppliers and the attitudes are night and day.

 

[arh32]

Well i jumped in on this one i just might have to try out the clone. Anyone use efun.top before?

 

[Hightech Redneck]

GeekvapeGriffinRTA has a zephyrus type top fill and a small capacity. So not quite a clone.

Marc....this is exactly why I won't be giving them any more of my money in the future!!
