I have 28/32 Claptons in mine, 2.5mm coils.
Did that, still leaksI had the same issue and someone up thread mentioned they tightened the screw in the 510 connection/center post and it worked great!
No more leaky leaky
Rinse your base. There's more than likely residual in the air flow
I had the same problem. I'm assuming you have the black version where it's more noticeable and annoying. Any condensation or leaking will show at that seam. I think it's the design inside the base somehow the juice runs in between the are where the afc ring spins and then the juice get pushed up in that area. I tightened my 510 carefully and it seemed to work by slimming down the gap. Every now and then I see some juice build up there but not nearly as much as before.
I'm useing it with titanium claptons 28g titanium core with 32g kanthal wrap on a 2.5id. I've never been so happy with a build in a rta. I have another crius and have a twisted 26g titanium build and even though it was great it just doesn't compare to the Clapton build.
Yes im using the black one, if i use tissue to wipe it and apply a little pressure in the gap more juice comes out... Annoying
I feel your pain. The 510 trick helped and I've been keeping my juice holes at about half with thinner liquids. The juice just runs down to that area
Im running 25% flavorwest, 3 ml nic and rest vg (100ml mixes) i think my juice is thick enough... But no still leaks lol
Been running a twisted 28ga 430 SS 7/64 id spaced 6 wrap .17Ω build on a VTC for over a week without issue.
Nothing exotic here, simple dual 5 wrap 26Ga., Kanthal at .35Ω. No wicking issues. Using mostly higher VG. I'd mentioned earlier up-thread this tank is bone dry... but I'm experiencing the same sweating from the bottom as some have reported. Annoying but, it's minor. Still no leaks.
I have been using it with titanium 0,4mm and nife30 from zipvif 0,32 mm in temp control mode
I haven't vaped on kanthal for quite a while. I haven't even tried to build a kanthal coil in the crius
I can say it works
Given you've tried everything, you could disconnect your tank and inspect the rubber gasket that creates the seal between it and the base.
There's spares in the box so maybe just replace it and see if that helps...if not, there's a tolerance issue and you should see if you can return the tank in exchange for a new one.
The only gasket (o-ring) that any of mine have are the ones for the glass and the ones for the drip tip. None of mine (3) have gaskets in the base.
All of my 510's are tight and they all have minor seepage at the afc seam

I suspect its my builds problem plus i didnt screw the base snug, redid my build with a little more cotton, and screwed the base in snug
You're not the only one.
I've taken mine all apart and replaced all the o rings, also tried a number of different wicks but it still leaks.Shame really for it produces a great flavour.
I wonder if a number of these have some quality issues to them. Thanks everyone for your input on the temperature control wire with the Crius.
Is it fair to say the problems here are occurring mainly in the black Crius's (Crii? lol what would be the plural form?) I have enough stainless tanks and was leaning towards getting a black one. I'm guessing it likely does not have anything to do with the color but anecdotally, that seems to be the case here?
