Another good use for good old duct tape where would we be without it.

its cracking at the base straight up and down all mine have base cracks i think taking it on and off the threads does it after awhile
I am ashamed to say this, but also very happy to say, the two Cryptos I have been using since receiving them 8 days ago are still vaping excellent with no leaks or dumps. No modding or cleaning have been done to them. Using mostly on the Provari. Sometimes used on the eGo. Even took them with me to today's Razorback vs. Georgia baseball game, no problems. Really sorry a lot of you are having issues with these. I mostly fill them with bottle/ blunt needle as in Bad's video, sometimes upside down w/syringe. This post just serves as an update on my experience with the Cryptos. My apologies if it appears to everyone that I'm gloating. I really hope that a solution is found though with all the problems, as I would hate for these to be discontinued. Happy vaping everyone. And Happy Easter to all.
I think I figured out the leaking thing!!!!!!!!!!! I filled upside down, put the rubber stopper in upside down and the mouthpiece again upside down, vaped for a bit off and on before bed and set it on a paper towel expecting to find wet this morning, and VIOLA none!!! I might note that I did recap this after I was done vaping and took it off the PV, just in case of leaks.
I had dismatled and cleaned this really well as it had a funky flavor (too much glue) and modded the wicks AKA LordDavon and it is vaping like mad. I want more of these as long as the nonleaking quality continues and QC at the factory improve a bit.

That's not boastful at all, that's feedback. My second one hasn't leaked yesterday either. Crossing fingers. I'm taking it with me on a long road trip. Really have time to check it out.
Bad/Dan, I think that the best thing you can do that will help you avoid this situation is put a disclaimer on new products or new versions of a product. Just to let people know that while it has gone through some testing, all of the kinks might not have been worked out and have a 'let the buyer beware' type of message. That way, people have an idea of what they might be getting into and you cover your backside a little better. Watching the video on the product pages makes it look amazing which can cause a lot of frustration and disappointment if the product turns out to have problems that others also report having. I'd leave the disclaimer up until the product has reached its final version and most of the kinks worked out or if the first version goes over fine after a couple of weeks.
thats good, but unfortunately, you still can't be sure, I thought I had fixed mine too, didn't leak overnight too, then, wham, left it for two minutes standing upright and there was a puddle.
what do you mean by recap it? are you talking about the optional caps?
I totally agree with that. I probably would have bought one anyway just to try it out...but I bought it presuming it would be higher quality and honestly expected better performance. I know, that was a stupid assumption...but I would have felt better about the whole thing had I been forewarned. Yeah, I'll know better next time...but I don't think there would be a big problem warning simpletons like me right up front. We'd have tried them anyway, but with different expectations.
Yes I am talking about the optional cap
I am going to take it out and about today, with backups of course, to really put thru the paces, I really want this cool little thing to work! It vapes amazing, nice easy draw, tons of vapor and good flavor.....now on to the day of testing, will update later FYI, I am going to treat this exactly as I would any tank I would use, laying it on it's side yada ..yada....wish me well!Yes I am talking about the optional cap
well it doesn't leak if its on its side, that i can verify. good luck to you, I won't take mine out and about, I've had enough times getting a nice oily spot on my pants when cartomizers empty out in my pocket, but at least thats me knocking the top off and not randomly having it leak out.
best to take it out and about in a ziplock bag, at least if it leaks out, you don't ruin whatever you have it in.
thx badkola, shipping number says its still in new york so the bank holidays delayed postage even further.
im in uk and couple others over here are having same problem...perhaps customs ar egetting double pay over easter .

cheers
I guess it is! How are you Turtle? You going to Vapestock?
Oh, and I don't see you subscribed to my YouTube channel. *tisk* *tisk*
Okay I have been one of the few that have NOT been having any issues at all with the Cryptos. I purchased three of the stainless when they were released. I have only been using two of those three in regular rotation with no leaks or dumps. One of those two did finally die one me late last nite. Got the dreaded E1 error on the Provari. It ohmed out at zero. Bummer, but got some real good heavy vaping use out of it the last 9 days. So, finally unwrapped the third one this morning. Filled it sideways as in Bad's earlier video using a 10ml bottle with blunt needle. So far have filled it 5 times since 8am. I am happy to say, no leaks or dump outs. All three I have do NOT leak. I do however, make sure that the top rubber cap with the little nub on it sits firmly in the small hole with asserting firm pressure on it with my finger nail while also wiggling it and that it sits firmly straight before I put the mouthpiece on. I swear I haven't had any issues with the three I had purchased, except for the one that finally died on me last night. Now I can take it aprt and see exactly what happened to the little feller. May not be until tomorrow though. Will report back then. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE AND GOD BLESS.
