I just picked up the updated crius at my B&M for 35 today and all I can say is WOW. Very nice to work with I thought the dual coils would be tricky but I just pre trimmed the legs and held both close to the posts and screwed them in. The wicking was pretty easy it burped at me once and I went in and put a tiny tiny piece of cotton on each juice hole to plug it up a little more and it's been amazing with a dual titanium build. I liked my crown tank and rba but that will be taking a backseat for a while. :)

Gearbest has a coupon code for it: OBSCrius - $11 off which makes it $22 dollars. Now it's cheaper than the Bellus (considering shipping from etop) so I think this tank will get a lot more attention in the coming weeks.



I've seen many of his vids as he'll do just wicking tutorials on tanks and he's one of the best out there and he builds the Crius here. I haven't gotten mine yet to test out but he's wicking it a lot different than some of you.

.... Kickers Reviews:
It was mentioned in the video; albeit in passing. .24 ohms and 55 watts. Its happy all the way up to 80 or so with this build, and the build works great on a mechanical as well

Just be careful buying from GB. A lot of horror stories.
I was thinking of getting this deal. Roxy is gear best really that bad? It is a great deal especially with free shipping. I don't mind having to wait a long time.

What I don't like is there is no indication on whether it is the updated version or not. The product description is "Original OBS Crius RTA" so idk. Does the "Original" part mean that it is not the updated version? Confused....

I was one of them, including in this thread. I ordered a Sigelei 30W on Aug 19th and it didn't come and it's lost in vapor heaven. I went through their ticket process and I got this saying I never received it:

1) Please reconfirm your delivery address in “ My accounts”:
2)Please contact your local post office in charge of your area, stating your name and address.In some cases, Post office may require customers to collect parcels over there. Once you have checked with the post office, kindly let us know the results.

Me: I just called 2 post offices to make 100% sure. They checked for a good 10 minutes each and the package wasn't there.

Thank you for your message. We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience. Please check our warranty return policy here Warranty and Return | GearBest.com.

As you konw,it is big loss for both of us,normally,we will not bear the responsibity for such case. But in order to bring the greatest actual benefit for our customers and build a long-term relationship with you,we would like to solve the problem together.

We would like to solve the issue by offering you the following options:

3)Resending a replacement (No return) - We can resend you a replacement but we kindly ask you share 15 usd for the cost of item and the shipping fee.

Could you please let me know your decision?
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding

I chose 2 a few days ago but they haven't responded yet and I don't have the $18 yet but hopefully it's just the weekend thing. After doing research on gearbest it's a must to get their tracking option for $2 extra or whatever. The box mod was $30 so I guess it's not all that bad considering it might not be their fault at all.

So the $30 isn't all lost and instead of the 30W Sig I'll go with the new Cloupor Mini Plus 50w TC for about $14 total as their VTC Mini is too expensive and I already have one. I might roll the dice and get another Crius too with the coupon code as it's dirt cheap. Btw, it's version 2 also according to them even though is says original on the title.

I would look at the photos, but it does sound like the first version. Many people have had trouble getting their orders shipped, or they've arrived broken. Weeks to get refunds.

V2 according to them:

I bet they never shipped it. You aren't alone based on what I've read here. And yet, I've gotten all my orders from every other place in China. I don't think its the shipping, I think its GB.

Actually that reminded me as they sent me a picture of the package when they shipped it. I just looked at it and zoomed in like crazy and the label was correct however my City looks to be a bit smugged in the middle along with the "apt" for apartment. I'll never know but after doing research when I had the problem was that people have had issues with them but they're not that bad, probably a step below fastech and topfun, but always opt for the tracking # from what people said.

I ordered 2 from GearBest back on October 26th for $20.96 each without a coupon and after allot of inquiries they finally shipped it 9 days later on November 4th. It is sitting somewhere in Suzhou, China I believe waiting to leave the country. I have no idea when I will get them. As long as you are not in a rush, it is probably the best deal around.

    Just a quick question for everyone. How often do you re wick the crius? I go through about 20mls in it a day but I've only had it three days and was wondering what everybody else did. And anybody doing any claptons in it? Thanks for the info.

    Depends on the juice on how often to wick, darker juices every 2-3 days, lighter might get 5 days without rewicking.

    I did put claptons in mine, just to see what it was like, it did fit ok, but was to warm of a vape for my liking so took them back out.

    Grrrrrrrumble... So I am undecided between the Bellus and the Crius. One is cheaper, but not as pretty - plus the Bellus vendor carries the vape band I need for the nomadic AFC on my AGA-T7 (hi Roxy!)

    Choices, choices. Think for me, ECF Gurus, for I am an American (prone to waffling, indecision, and general all-around whininess).
    I am having the same problem. Not sure if I was to order this tank or the bellus
