OBS Engine RTA... or is it an RDTA?

[Eskie]

Hi Eskie,how's that engine purring along? Any misfires? Lol

Purring along like a perfect kitty. Enough so I want to order another one in black once they're back in stock at vapordna unless I can find it available elsewhere.

The only drawback is because of the side/top fill, you can't really see the fluid level well as you refill and it's easy to overdo it, leaving yourself with a bit of cleaning up. I've gotten used to it and the last 2 refills were much neater.

Good deal my friend am glad all is well,I actually ordered mine in black and then sent them an email to switch it to ss instead,I always find its always harder to what's going on with black tanks,or you see to much lol,like every juice smear,I know what you mean with obs filling method,my crius was also a mess every time I filled it,even if you don't overfill you still have to wipe it after closing fill port,oh well no tank is perfect,really looking forward getting it soon and hope I don't have issues wicking it,btw were are you cutting your wicks? Do you have a guide line that you use so they are not too short or too long?

I cut the wick to roughly the edge of the deck where you would place the ends over (or in my case unlike Shawn, slightly ticked in) and lay on/over/slightly in the bottom juice holes. I will admit my first reaction was to push the wick all the way through and down in the juice well, but after seeing a video review where they did not push it through I decided to give that a shot. There's a photo in the instruction manual that comes with it which shows the wicks lightly tucked in.

If you've used the Crius you know the fill deal. What I've doneto keep things neat, and this is true for just about all my tanks, is either use a unicorn bottle with the small point or a syringe with a 14G blunt needle. That way I can slide it all the way into the tank and avoid any damming of juice at the fill port.

Thanks so much my friend,I think that's pretty much were mike vapes cut his wicks in his video,I've seen some going all the way to the edges of the screw cap and that just seems too long to me,as for filling I also used small tip gorilla bottles and such but after opening and closing a few times e juice just makes its way there anyways,I usually wipe before closing and that seems to keep things a little less juicy lol;-)

BTW if you get a chance check out Trevor jones on you tube,the guy really gets involved with his wicking and his tutorials are second to none,very clear up close shots and very detailed videos,he as one up for the engine as well.

My guess would be if you had the wick too long you might have some gurgling and flooding. I will say that I don't even get gurgling right after filling since the second refill. It really is that smooth for me.

Thanks for the head up on that wicking video. I will check it out.

Hi Shawn,just touching base to see if all is still a ok with the engine tank?

Yup. About 6 tanks through the second build. I've almost been exclusive with this tank for a full week!

I almost feel like I should be buying it a ring...

I pulled the trigger on a black Engine yesterday. I still love my original Crius RTA and after watching several reviews and reading some thoughts on it, finally decided to get one. I always loved the side top fill of OBS stuff especially when out and about. I've dropped top caps, while filling, of other RTAs and had enough of hunting those suckers after they've rolled a seemingly impossible long way.

It's already shipped out and now the wait begins, it will be at least two weeks until it arrives.

I ordered it from GB, they had it on one of their flash sales for $21 delivered. Waiting sucks, but it was a good deal and I got plenty of tanks to keep me busy. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts once yours arrives.

Just ordered a black engine from slowtech for $23. Now the long wait begins. Crossing my fingers customs ignores my package...

The Boreas is airier. The Engine provides more flavor. The Boreas deck is a about 3mm larger, but the juice flow holes in the Engines deck are larger. Better is subjective... but the Engine does not leak.

After a solid week with this tank, I will say it's now my #1 favorite tank. I love the flavor, it's plenty airy for me, and it doesn't leak. I'm ordering a second one in black as soon as they're back in stock in the US (or if not really soon, just do the long wait/overseas way).

 

[TVC70]

*sigh* I just ordered two of these, a black and an ss. Darn you, Shawn! Actually, thanks for bringing this rta to my attention. The Engine seems to pretty well tick all the boxes for me, as far as RTAs go. Can't wait to try them out.

 

[Fozzy71]

I won't be ordering anything new for a while but I put two of these in my FT cart for my next order along with a serpent mini 25.

I ordered a black one on Thursday off of eBay for $30. Free shipping USA vendor. I see from the tracking I will get it this afternoon. Really looking forward to coiling this baby up!!

Mine finally hit usps tracking from fasttech. Should be less then two weeks if it doesn't get hung up in customs!

Quick question for those that have one, is the 510 tall? I'm thinking of picking up a Cool Fire IV 18650 for the Engine but I hear it has a shallow 510 connection. I'm thinking the cool fire because the engine will sit flush on it plus it's small.

The connector and base are pretty much identical to the Griffin 25 and my Aromamizer Supreme. I have it on my RX 200s and looks great. It is on the short side though but should be amazing on a Cool Fire IV. I almost guarantee you will love it! Hope this helps..
