OBS Crius RTA?

[FoxVanilla]

yep we're guinea pigs. there are no vapers, coil builders and testers in their big factory. way to go.
anyway fingers crossed, my LVS will be trying to order in the updated v3 velocity styled decks. maybe you guys who has the v1 or v2 could order them from where you purchased them too.

The fact they can design/implement valid improvements based on consumer feedback, tool up and produce units at a lightning quick pace is in itself quite remarkable. A retired mechanical engineer, I can attest that rapid innovation, adaptability/flexibility is lacking on this side of the pond, went missing post 1950's. It's obvious that at OBS decisions are made at the design/shop level whereas over here there are various levels of corporate management, far removed from the product, calling the shots. Won't bother me one bit if they roll out an improved v4 in a few weeks, at <$30 shipped for an authentic it's a bargain.

My really only con with the Crius is that the build deck is really small. My first few builds - I had just thought the threads screwing on the base were shoddy but it was just resistance coming from my wires. I can't do 10 wraps of 26g.

Dual coil right? What resistance are you building for?

Edit: Sorry, never-mind. I get what you're doing.

Right now the only thing I see that they could do to improve the Crius is if they offer a single coil option. Even if they only offer a plug like the Bellus to convert the Crius into a single coil atty, that would be great.

Yeah thats about the only thing they are missing
And selling the decks/glass tanks separately, the deck they will do I read somewhere in this thread

+1, couldn't agree more.

Got my V3s today but couple of issues

 

[roxynoodle]

Are the wick holes on that ring in the wrong place? Oy!

 

[jcmcphail]

Recvd 2 tanks heres the second one, juice hole are out of alignment on both decks.

 

[jcmcphail]

Insulator also cracked on this one, don't think that is a peek insulator, looks and feels like some type of porcelain.

 

[roxynoodle]

I guess I'll hold off for v4 decks.

 

[jcmcphail]

roxy I contacted WetVapes to advise them of my problems, I have a couple of the V2s but of course never satisfied, lol. Sent them email and photos Ask them if they wanted me to send them back or just drop them in trash. Maybe I'm the only one who is having problem breaking the tank down to clean, near impossible to separate glass from bottom which attaches to deck. I was able to get V2 apart by inserting coil rod into chamber juice hole and loosening. Tried that on these and chamber hole bent like butter, oh well.

Awe man that is horrible too see. Why the hell isn't it peek? I am starting to regret ordering mine :/

Just curious, why are you trying so hard to get the glass off?

I've had mine since midday Saturday...after 4/5 tanks, it has performed nicely. The only top fill of the recent tanks that hasn't leaked after refill. With all these revisions, issues like above were bound to happen, I suppose. I think I'll wait a bit before getting another.

I caved. Have a v3 inbound from WetVapes. Should get it mid-week. Fingers crossed but have no doubts it'll all be fine, (in one way or another). jcmcphail - let's hear how your's resolves. Poor QC from the factory; could happen with anything. GL

Poor QC or not, the insulator needs to be peek!!

I had trouble getting mine apart, too. I stuck a screwdriver into the fill hole to lever the top cap loose.

Yes, I'm not disagreeing.

I break down all new tanks before first use and clean in USC, these had slight odor of machine oil present.
