I hope you actually get the item. I only ordered from them only once. It got shipped Aug 19th and still haven't received it yet. I sent them a support ticket but from what I've read I'm pretty much SOL.
Last night I opened up my 3rd unanswered support ticket and within minutes the status changed to shipped with a tracking number. [emoji12]

Has anyone found a source for this tank in Canada? I've e-mailed canvape and they are not going to stock it. I was gonna pull the trigger on the wetvapes deal with the 10% off but I'm just getting sick of paying so much for shipping. Nearly $30 (after the exchange) for shipping, that's hardly a deal :/

I just sent a tank to someone in Canada in its original box, and it cost just under $10 for me to send it. If you really want one, I would repost it to you if you had it sent to me.

That is downright decent of you to offer!

I really appreciate that, you might just be getting a PM from me one of these days.

I am going to hold out for a bit though. I just got the Bellus in (finally) and should hold me over for a while. I'm thinking if I can't find one in Canada by the new year I will definitely take you up on the offer. Thanks again :)

No problem :). If you want to, grab a few things, and I'll repackage to one box.

Well, the Crius and I have gotten off on a bit of a rocky start.

I can't get any other drip tips to fit despite that supposedly being fixed. And I don't care for the stock one.

I thought shoving the wicks into the slots was a pain.

Trying to find the perfect spot yet for the juice control. I had a minor flood, then a partial dry hit.

Are you using thinner, lower vg? I tend to run about 75vg on my mixes lately. Was doing higher but found on other tanks this was a good mix. I have not had flooding or dry yet. Can I ask what kind of build, wick and juice etc... and maybe we can figure it out to help others too. :)

I got a black v2 today. All my drip tips with the white o rings fit. The black o rings are a tad too thick. I could probably force it, but not gonna do it.

I have to say this is a relatively tough tank to build a dual on. First tried to build a dual 30ga ni200 build. The screws kept snapping the legs on the wire. Might be able to file down the screw heads, but I have not tried it. I then tried a 28ga, and was able to get a nice build, but ohms were too low.

I finally gave up and built a 28ga dual kanthal on q tips (I think they are around 2.5mm). Had to use them because you need two rods of the same size to build on, and that was what has handy. 9 wraps. Ended at .75 ohms. Going to have to work on a better way to mount the coils and trim the legs. The v2 holes are larger, but it is still tough to mount both coils with one screw to fasten them both down. This thing screams for a velocity style deck.
Wicked with rayon, and I think this will take a little practice as well. Cut ends at an angle, thinned the puff on the end, and tucked into the wells. Vaping 70vg/30pg.
Filled, and vaped. Flavor is definitely on point. Better than STM and also the TFV4. Thick, flavorful clouds.
The top/side fill are great, and the juice control works well. Not a drop of leakage.
The device is very well made with smooth threads, and a very nice black finish.
Overall very happy with it, and it goes nicely with my IPV d2 daily driver.

70vg. Dual Claptons, 2.5mm, 28/32, 6 wraps, 0.6 ohm.

I cut the tails so I had a bit of angle cut off both sides, about half down the slots and fluffier on the deck.

No idea what caused the flood. I had the jc full open after filling, and 5 minutes later juice came out the airholes. I closed it off about halfway until it stopped. Then it started getting a little harsh so little by little I've been opening it up. I've been full open again for about 3 hours again. There is still a tiny sharp edge to it like its 95% saturated.

I've probably had 80 attys now and this is my second flub on my initial build. Right now I'm ignoring it, but I'll make an adjustment tomorrow.

Sorry if I missed, what kind of wick are you using?

Great day for vape mail today.

Received both the Crius and the Mutation X MT.

Being more intrigued by the Crius, I chose to build it first. Simple dual coil .32 ohm. Wicked like all the reviewers and must say I'm pretty impressed so far. Filled with Muffin Man at 50 watts and it's pretty tasty, not Stumpy tasty but good for a tank.

I really like the ability to close the juice flow for filling and the pop up fill port is damn cool.

Wanted to build the MT but ran out of energy. lol Tomorrow I will put a 24ga 3mm dual coil build with LOTS of cotton and see if it vapes as good as it looks.

Will report back tomorrow.

Here's another question: do you guys see your 510 pin through the airholes? That doesn't seem right to me.
Yes I can see mine, but it's the same on my TFV4. I cut at an angle, trimmed some fluff off the edges, and pushed the bottom of the angle in the wells. Then left a very short puff on top, of strands I could not get into wells. Can you see the wick through the juice control holes?

A little bit.

Right now I would say its wicking just a tad slower than I want it to.

I can see the post as well Roxy.

Definitely nothing blocking the aiflow under there! lol

About to top it off and go to bed. I absolutely love closing the juice flow, popping the top and squirting in the juice.

I have the Crius on top of a Lavabox and looks sick as .... nevermind!!
