OBS Engine NANO RTA

[Mactavish]

Nice comments [emoji5]

On Aromamizers, I found I preferred the v2 to the Supreme Lite.

The "lite" is interesting, vapes fine, but has a lot of parts, especially the two tiny pins that drop out when you try to clean it. I think I was drawn to the unique bottom juice feed, and the little shutters that you control. I used it a bit, but liked the smaller Merlin Mini, and its simplicity, so it's been shelved.

Back on topic for a NEWS FLASH !!!

I noticed when I did the first Notch coil install, that the post holes were NOT OFFSET! That was one of the features I LIKED! I'm going to contact the vendor "SubtankSupply", they showed great customer support back when their were issues with the first batches of bases on the full size Merlin. In fact they shipped out free replacement bases, another reason I don't look to save a few bucks on Chinese sites, not very good CS, not fun trying to get a refund or repair, shipped back to China.

While probably not a deal breaker, I'm getting tired of these manufacturers changing advertised parts and features with NO NOTICE! Maybe it's a odd "one off", or maybe there were complaints by those who couldn't figure out how to make a reverse "counter clockwise" coil. I'll report back if I can get to the bottom of this issue.

Hole on the right bigger?

I'm not sure if it's just the photo, but you have a GOOD eye! I took it out of the tank just to grab that photo for proof, when the tank is empty, I will certainly take a digital caliber to it, as it does look ODD.

FWIW: I did the barcode authenticity check, and its NOT a clone.

That is odd. My tank matches the pictures on the main OBS site , where the left post is clearly higher than the right.

That has to be an error. I like the offset holes.

Mine are offset too. Maybe you're right @Mactavish perhaps OBS decided to make them even because peeps had issues with the ccw winding. Remember OBS sneaking in a v1, v2 & v3 on the original Crius?

I ordered two Nano's at the end of the Chinese New Year, one from 3fvape which i received the other week and the holes on this one are offset.

I have just received my second one today from Fastech and the holes on this one are at the same level

Maybe they are wanting the coil placed higher up???

Do you have a tank of each post type?
If so, can you take your calipers to all of it? Spread of posts, size of juice ports, deck.

 

[Eskie]

So is that an OBS Nano v1.1? Not cool to do to your customers after reviews are out and folks have expectations on what they will receive.

 

[ricks]

I think it was just an error... but both will work the same.

I'd honestly prefer either even or right post hole higher, not left. I wonder if the initial run, with left post hole higher, was a whoops; I don't believe there's a performance reason to have a design where a CCW coil is more "natural" in terms of fitting to the posts

I just received my Nano. The post holes are offset. Built a 3.5 id 26 ga ss316l coil (.725Ω). Thus far I think I like it a tiny bit more than the dual coil engine, though I've literally only had a few puffs thus far.

I have the one tank, waiting to hear back from SubtankSupply.

Try both sizes and see how you like it... I'm using 4mm in both mine currently and I found that 4mm is better tasting than 3mm.

Purely my opinion, but I did a LOT of 3.5 and 4mm coils, then did a 2mm. The 2mm won bigtime! Could be the juices, could be me as im still new to RTAs. Either way im loving this thing, coil size, post variations, I dont care, this is a great RTA!

Interesting... Might have to try a smaller coil to see how it works

 

[Bakseated1]

With the 2mm coil where did you place it? High? Middle?
