Got mine a couple weeks ago & it's my favorite tank now!! Had a little spitback on the first go around, but after raising the coils it disappeared. Not one dry hit. Great flavor outta this thing. Using some premade claptons coming in around .54 & love it around 62 watts. It's on my Jmodz box in this pic with the potentiometer almost all the way up and it's a warm flavorful vape.

Still hoping someone with a 23mm Engine can confirm it fits on a Pico without modification? I think they would be a great match.

that looks good on the pico, even more of a reason for me to grab a couple of these... i need another rta like I need another hole in my head but I am sure I will end up with a couple of these eventually

Here is an update for replacement glass
By my measurements the OBS engine 25 needs 25x16.1 mm
The serpent mini takes 25x17
So I ordered this -> $1.57 Iwodevape Replacement Glass Tank for Wotofo Serpent Mini 25mm RTA Atomizer - authentic at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
And it arrived today.
It does fit but not perfectly, so far no leaks though.
The new glass is a bit thinner than the original OBS glass so there is a little slack around the cage
Not a big deal, just hold it centered while installing

Now, because the new glass is .9 mm taller, when installed the cage assembly does not seat completely.
There is a small gap at the top on the inside of the glass where the cage screws into the top.

Close enough for me to order a dozen more,
I've had it on for a few hours now with no leaks.
Also, if you get the black glass, you would probably never see it.
See the gap on the inside of the glass right under the marker for the fill hole,
Those the where the threads are that screw the cage to the top.

These should also work
Clear 5 pack $6.59 Authentic Clrane Replacement Glass Tank for Wotofo Serpent Mini Atomizer (5-Pack) 5-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Im really upset, dont know what to do.

My obs Engine Metal frame is stuck into the deck base as you can see in this photo.
If I try to get out clockside, I start to bend the frame........

Any suggestion?

Thanks!!!
You could try putting in the freezer for 30 minutes. That's been known to help free stuck threading.

I think I'd use pliers/visegrips on the base, and insert a screwdriver through the frame windows to use as a lever on the frame posts (keeping the screwdriver positioned at the bottom of the frame windows, near the base).

Not ..... Im still trying it with your help...

I should have looked more closely at the picture: if you try to lever it with a screwdriver, it will need to be done at the TOP of the frame windows, so as to avoid the posts sticking up from the base...

...unfortunately this will create more torsion through the middle of the frame, so frame bending may still be a concern.

Deck spins so that shouldn't be a problem other than a tool might make too much torque. Probably better to try with just a hand and something for grip like a wide rubberband.

so my engine is scratching my mods with the protruding ring on the outer edge of the bottom side.

anyone got a simple fix for that?

on my old rx200 i dont care, it left a clear ring on it but its kinda messed up anyways after plenty of use. but id like to keep my alien atleast somewhat in shape...
Simple fix - don't ever take it off :)

Maybe cut a 25mm circular piece of packing or masking tape to fit on the alien's 510 connection?

Use sandpaper to grind down the edges so it isn't as sharp.
