OBS Engine NANO RTA

[TrollDragon]

Not to upset you too much, but other than a little condensation, the Crius+ is always dry for me, even sitting around with the jfc left open for days. Same is true on my Merlin. The vape fairy likes me. What I've had to sacrifice is ever winning a vape gear contest, ever.

Not a problem, I've won a few.
I find if you don't move the JFC it seeps very little. I close the JFC each night and for filling, so mine gets a lot of use. juice will seep from the tank between the base and JFC, creating a ring of liquid on the mod between the AFC and base. Exactly like the Merlin does since they have an identical design.

A quick wipe and it's all good in da hood.

So I took the big Clapton out of the Nano, replacing it with an simple 3mm 8 wrap 24g SS316L coil. I centered the coil between the holes and left the legs a little longer than normal. This brought the coil closer to the edge of the deck and main air hole. I am getting a much better vape with more flavor than before. It's really too bad that OBS didn't give us the option to close off the back air hole, I think it would really improve the flavor.

Running it on the VT75 with the UD SS316L V4 (Hotter) wire profile at 50W/480F.

How do I fill up the tank without sucking up juice when I start vaping?

Wick it properly. The tank is flooding.

What do you mean???

It was vaping fine until I put more liquid in the tank. Maybe I need to use cotton. I was using ReadyxWick.

 

[ricks]

Are you getting liquid in your mouth after filling?

Yeah that's my problem. I rewicked with cotton so I'll see how that goes.

It sounds like the readyxwick is letting to much liquid through and it's flooding when you fill it.

Got my engine nano for about a week, and tried lots of builds in there.

For me, 26gg ss twisted, 3mm, 6 wraps works @50watts perfectly。

And the wicking method I've being useing is like shown in the pic,
align your scissors above the outer ring of the whole deck and cut straight
gently tuck down the cotton, first the inner layers, and then the outer layers.

If the cotton is cut right, this should form a naturally inclined bottom and hence a increased surface for wicking while still holding the juice out when you refill the tank.

 

[Herrick]

Thanks ouzzyme.I'll try that method the next time I wick.

I'm not sure what to do with the RxW so I am using cotton now. The flavor is twice as good and I didn't get any flooding when I refilled this morning. I just have to get used to the side filling. I got a little bit of juice coming out on the side. Not a whole lot. Do you guys hold the tank at an angle when you fill or do you leave it straight?

I just ordered the Nano last night. But my guess is it will be the same as the Lemo2. Which I hold at a 45 degree angle. Also make sure there isn't any juice on the bottle tip and the opening doesn't have a juice film across it. I got the Nano because of being able to refill without removing any parts and it's single coil.

I have a few old Genny's gathering dust so you could send the RxW to me, it would be perfect in the Origin.

As far as filling the Nano, I tilt it at a 45 to start to with and then lay it flat to top it up chock full.

I do the 45 degree angle thing too, but never thought of laying flat to get that last 0.1 ml in.

I fill my Crius+ the same way. Sometimes I need a quick swipe with a Kleenex around the cap, and sometimes not.

I am getting a better vape from mine now, I changed to a 2mm coil, raised the coil high, and I have blocked the back airflow hole with cotton (idea from @TrollDragon post above, thank you).

Sure, what of the superstitious among us?
Yep, the tilt and fill works fine for me.
I usually end up with just a smidgen of juice at the fill ring and I mean a standard smidgen, not a metric smidgen. Much smaller amount. Whatever I have handy wipes that away.

I start to fill mine at an angle at first and then lay it sideways to top it off to 100% also. While sideways I try to top it off as fast as possible and close it to prevent flooding the air chamber. I flooded it once taking too long...

Sweet, I shall try some cotton as well.

 

[Don29palms]

I just lay them over sideways and fill them up.

If you're using coils smaller than 3mm id it's possible to get a little flooding while filling. You really need to fluff the cotton well to fill the juice holes up. It's definitely a learning curve how much to use.

I'm using Japanese cotton pads. I'm now cutting a piece off and taking both outer shells off and it barely fills the holes but works and tastes great with my 100% PG liquids. GREAT FLAVOR!!!
