Yes, I got my Crius today, and so far I'm loving it! It came clean as a whistle with no hint of machine oil. Just a quick rinse and it was good to go.
I made dual coils with 28g SS430 and a final resistance of .4 ohms, wicked it with rayon and filled it with 30/70 PG/VG juice. It was easy to build and easy to wick with no problems on the first try. Filling it is terrific. I wish all my tanks filled this way.
I tried it on my Sigelei 150 at 40 watts, and my IPV4 with TC at 35 Joules at 420F. The wicking had no trouble keeping up and could have gone higher. I had no dry hits and no leaking, just thick, dense clouds. The air flow control is easy enough to move, yet not loose at all. The draw is nice and airy fully open and can close down to 'almost' a MTL, but if you're a Tootle Puffer you'll want to pass on this one. The flavor is very good. So far I would say it's comparable to the Cthulhu V2 but not quite on par with the Aromamizer RDTA.
I don't mind the small post holes since I use 28g wire. I like the drip tip since I always use glass ones anyway, and I've found a couple that also fit. I would recommend this tank to anyone who's looking for a tank that's easy to build, wick and fill with a bonus of good flavor and big clouds.

Awesome news
Was hoping would get mine by the weekend, but wetvapes didn't ship mine today
hopefully it ships tomorrow and will have MondayI have the cthulhu v2 and I love it! Is this rta a upgrade or downgrade compared to it? I'm really interested in this rta. Thanks!

That's unfortunate. I was hoping you'd get yours tomorrow so we could compare. I ordered mine from Wet Vapes on Monday, it shipped on Tuesday and arrived today after 2 days.
I'm sure you'll like it. I'm a chain vaper and I've yet to get a dry hit. The juice control works well and is so much easier to use than the one on the Cthulhu V2. As long as you remember to close it before you fill, it doesn't leak.
I would personally consider it an upgrade but YMMV. The juice control on my Cthulhu V2 is hard to turn. I can only close it when it's on my mod, but I have to take it off to open it. My air flow control is very tight and can only be turned with the tank off my mod. I like the top fill, but it can be a little difficult to get the top off to get to it. I'm not knocking it...I like it...it just has a few quirks, but when you get it all set up it vapes great.
The Crius has easy to operate juice control and air flow control, and filling it couldn't be easier. You don't have to remove or unscrew anything to do it.
Let me know how you like it! I've seen alot of mixed feelings about it
Could be unreasonable expectations. Many rave about Goliath V2. I'm expecting a Goliath V2 vape with easy top fill, that's it. Side air may be an improvement, but I'm not counting on it. Coil position is going to be an learning thing. Will see. I assume you checking out the Bellus thread.
I ordered a bellus a couple of days ago ... Then I saw this .. I already ordered a black one, should look good on my ipv d2. Curious to see how it performs, but I am confident it will be a keeper. Hope it arrives after the weekend
I just got home from working a double and my Crius is still vaping great. It sucks down the juice pretty fast, but then all the new cloud chucking RTAs are doing that. Still no dry hits or leaking. I had it laying sideways in my purse for quite a while with juice flow and air flow closed and not a drop leaked out. I like the short wide bore drip tip but as with any clear glass drip tip, you can see the condensation in it.
One small thing to note is that when you lift up the top to fill there's a drop of juice right at the opening. Either blow softly into the opening or touch it with a paper towel and it disappears. When filling make sure you angle the juice tip to the side and a little downward to avoid the chimney tube. Glass droppers don't fit into the fill port but you can still use them carefully and avoid drips.
I'm still loving the design's ease of use, the taste and the clouds. I vote thumbs up.

The OBS Crius did turn up today
Turned up clean, didn't smell of oil or anything, so just gave it a quick wash and got to building, used 26 gauge and had no problems fitting the wire through the holes, wish they had done a velocity posts though, but with the post holes being small, wasn't to hard keeping the 1st coil in place while mounting the 2nd. Wicking was simple, just cut at a angle and gently push the cotton down the juice channels.
I am mostly a MTL vapor and is working fine for me at 35watts with airflow closed right down, but also tested lung hits too, went up to 50 watts and was blowing some decent clouds, didn't try pushing it anymore though, but for people who like clouds, think this will pass the test
Only had the Crius just over a hour, but so far I am loving this one, flavor is awesome, easy to fill, I used dropper bottle and had no problems filling with it, and not seen a drop of juice from the airflow, still has to pass the re-fill test yet, but if it passes that, then I am going to jump to get a 2nd one, really think OBS has a winner here, oh and I found it 50/50 with drip tips, some fitted, some didn't, was happy my black one fitted fine to go with the tank

Good first impressions.
Nice review. I'm still loving mine, too. No leaks, no dry hits and tons of flavorful clouds. The juice flow and air flow are so easy to use. I might go for the black one next time.
If it keeps performing like it is in 24 hours, which I am sure it will be from your reports, then going to order the silver one next
Can anyone do a flavor comparasion? I have aromamizer, zephyrus, chthulu v2.
I was disappointed in the flavor from the new chthulu

Which black drip tip is this? The only thing stopping me from getting this right now is the drip tip compatibility

It came with another tank, got so many I can't remember which one though, OBS are changing the Crius to have normal 510 drip tip, so if hang on a little while then that problem will be solved
