I got a pair of these today. I filled the first one and started to vape, but apparently I got a reject, becasue it won't draw at all. AT ALL. it's like vaping a pencil. I'm not talking stiff draw, I mean zero. I'm gonna pull it aprt tomorrow and see if something is put together wrong. Undaunted, I withdrew my Crushed Caramel Apple juice with my trusty syringe, and filled the second one. No leaking thus far, mad vapor (when it hits right), excellent flavor, and surprisingly warm vapor. I can't be too bent out of shape for the dud, it happens sometimes, no big deal. Overall, I have to say these things work very well. The only issue I have is that I can only use it on an ego battery. For some reason, the 510 to ego adapter that I use for stardusts doesn't fit these guys, so I can't crank em up. (WTH) But that's ok, they perform well at 3.7.

I also purchased two of these. The first one I tried also had the extremely stiff (almost non existent) draw. I got frustrated and took a very hard draw and something went pop and the air flow was opened up. There was obviously something blocking the holes internally. Since then it has had a very easy draw.

Some small problems with leaking but when they work they are great. I'm still on the learning curve with these.

No drips, no runs, no errors. My Cryptos are performing flawlessly. With NO modding. One using str8 vg, the other 70/30 pg/vg. Performing very well on both the Provari and eGo. Bummer that some of you are having issues.
I like these Cryptos a lot. Will be buying more.

I have had at least a half dozen "leakouts" since I got these a few days ago, however, they have become my favorite by far. I just hope they can figure out a way to stop the leakout issue.

I'd like to see this in a top coil version. I'm not really all that impressed by, or enamored with, billowing clouds of vapor. All I really want is a clean hit (both draw & taste) and nicotine delivery. I don't like "wasting" juice needlessly.

You can lower the voltage, if you have a VV. Or, just dont draw as long. I don't find the juice wasted, since I don't need to puff on these as long, to get the same nicotine fix. :)

Isn't the ego w/f1 the top coil version?

Mine are supposed to be here on Monday. I really can't wait. So, the plastic in these is safe for any juices such as cinnamon oil juices and citrus, unlike the polycarbonate? I hope I can use some juices I've had shelved, because I can't get away from the Stardusts and I killed most my dripping attys.

It's similar, but it only holds 1 ml of juice. You also need the sleeve to mount a driptip. Not dissing them, I have 7 of them - 2 almost 3 months old and still vaping strong (the fill holes are getting a bit worn out though).

If you have something that can get to 4.4V or higher, try the Vision HV Mini Tank. They are awesome! I really should have done my review, but I ran out of tanks, during the modding. I only have 2 left, but they are already modded. I need to get a few more to get that review done.

The tank material is like the Fluxo/Vision line.

Sethenes, You should be ok with just about anything, They have the same tube as the Ce2 Fluxomizers.

well it leaked again all over my desk, i had 2 filled up tonight, one i smoke all the way through, the other just sitting there and it was fine, finally i went and smoked that one, got about half way through, then went to the bathroom, came back and there was a puddle.

its possible that 1 of them is defective, at any rate, at 10 dollars a piece, I think i'll be staying away from these. they really cool when they work, but losing 1ml plus of liquid randomly isn't worth it.

EDIT: thats 50/50 liquid thats coming out, not even like its 100% pg.

That really sucks. I haven't refilled mine yet. Or, for that matter, even opened/unwrapped the other one. I'm conflicted. I really wanted to be able to use my ego-W pencaps to be able to clip it to my lanyard at work. I may just end up ordering more of the 2.5ml Vision tanks like Lord Davon suggested. They don't crack, like almost all of my 'Stardusts' have, and I couldn't use the pencap with those anyway.

I got mine about 4 days ago. Things I like about the C8; it looks great on my chrome 1000 mAh batts, the draw is perfect, easy to fill, feels nice and solid, and no leak, great th, flavor, and vapor. The only problem I have is half way through I started getting really nasty burnt hits. It's nothing that a few primer puffs don't fix, but still an issue. I'm using gotvapes Crystal 24mg and I like it. I don't think I'll buy another of these. The reason is the Vision Grande. I LOVE this thing and I'll buy more as soon as GV gets them in the colors I want.
