Hey everyone I had a few questions about the krixus, I just got the tank yesterday and it's been acting weird and idk if that's how it's supposed to be or if it's just mine. First problem is that when I go to vape it hits super weak I have it on the snow wolf 200W mod at 75 watts and i read that it can take a couple vapes to get it to heat up right but every single time is just so weak like I'm vaping at 30 or something lower and second thing is that yes I got it to work right for me once after I unscrewed the tank from my mod and kept putting it back on after like 10 times and it worked really good but the tank over heated super bad after 2 vapes at 66W, I let it sit to cool off I went to vape again and, again it hit super weak. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or if I can do anything about it

I think I found out why lol I had my temp at 200 and I guess krixus is temp control? Now I have it at 70W and 425F and it works great but now I ran into another problem I keep getting dry hits and it's not wicking, only when I unscrew the top off where you fill it up then bubbles come out and it will be good again does anyone have a fix for that? It's getting a bit annoying to have to unscrew the top just to get the juices flowing every time

i got mine this week, both coils were dead after about 5 minutes of vaping on each one, very disapointed. but while it was working i wasnt impressed, gets hot as ....e spits at you, and you either get a pre heat hit thats weak or a hit thats like sucking lava after it warms up. the tech isnt ready for prime time, thats my 2 cents

And what sucks is that I can't find any replacements at all in case the ceramic breaks so we are stuck to just the 2 we get lol and as for resistance bouncing around I heard that ni200 does too that's why it's temp control. The vapor and flavor honestly I love but it's just the wicking issue I have that's throwing me way way off I get 3 solid vapes out of it then get a dry a** hit so I gotta open the top up so air can get in and let the coil soak up the juice and I hate that

I have had this tank for a week and already one coil is dead and I just went to change cotton on the second only to find that the ceramic is broken. the coil still works, but I noticed it doing weird stuff from the beginning....now I know why....long story short...this tank is crap

you have to re wick it and make sure its not to tight. wick it with like 3/4 of a full piece from the pack they give you, and wet it as your wrapping and make sure to wrap clockwise

Yea rewicking fixed it. Seems like they really cram the cotton in there on the prebuilt ones I would suggest not even vaping on those just take it apart right out of the box and rewick, now it works great but still over heats a lot, this tank has its flaws but is a pretty good tank hopefully they come out with a v2 and make it a whole lot better! Oh and make replacement coils more accessible incase they break

I found one person selling them and it was over 20 for a four pack....as many problems as I'm hearing though, I think this tank is a wrap. I get just as good flavor with a cleito....not temp control, but i'll bet they're in the works....and everything is cheaper....ive tried the Scylla from freemax....it had good taste for about a month, pretty similar fill process
