    I changed the glass on my cerebus to the straight glass the cerebus came with and it worked. No idea why you are having issues. I would not have recommended it if it didn't work for me

    Edit unless the rebuild deck changed since first released. My rebuild decks I bought years ago

    Edit 2: I just pulled one of the new Baby Rebuild decks I got in last night and tried it in the cerebus and it wouldn't even fit to screw in. SO apparently not all Baby rebuild decks are created equal

    The rba decks I got do have the right threads to screw into the Cerberus. I haven't tried the straight glass but will definitely give it a try when I get home from work tonight. Thank you.

    Ok Ignore the comment on the glass I was confusing 2 issues on 2 different tanks while not awake.

    This is what I discovered after taking apart multiple tanks and trying multiple rebuild decks. The rebuild decks that came with my original TFV8 Baby tanks WORK in the cerebus. The rebuild decks I ordered last week do not even screw in. I am starting to think they are for the BIG baby not the baby. Either that or there is some seriously screwy manufacturing going on. Now it is SMOK so it wouldn't surprise me in the least if something odd was happening or they changed the labeling or something otherwise bizarre.

    I don't know what to say to people other than I am sorry. I went down the same rabbit hole and now am hunting down smok tanks that use those decks.

    Wont work I was not quite awake and confused 2 tanks please see my previous edit what more research has shown. I can only apologize for the whole mess. I am in the hole for 10 decks myself. Looks like they changed the design or there is some mislabeling going on.

    Are these the ones that you bought?

    SMOK V8 Baby RBA Build Deck Coil (Pack of 1)

    Like I said, they will screw into the Cerberus on top and bottom. I'll try the straight glass when I get home and let you know if it works.

    I got mine from somewhere else. They are labeled identically though. There is no straight glass for the cerebus if you got it in the solo kit. My half asleep brain was conflating the cerebus with another tank this morning when I wrote that.

    I looked up the Cerberus on the geekvape site and it doesn't look like there is a straight glass for it.

    yeah I was afraid of that. I can only apologize again. I picked up 3 Big baby tanks that will fit the decks I picked up last week at element vapes this morning. My OLD TFV8 rebuild decks that came with my ancient TFV8 tanks (Think I bought them when the original came out) DO fit.

    The rebuild decks I bought last week are literally too wide to fit either my old TFV8 tanks or the cerebus. But they do fit the new one. SMOK did something weird here I just don't know what.

    With some help from a friend, I’ve solved the rba issue. The rba I got did screw in but the existing glass was too short. I tried a bunch of glass from different tanks and the glass from the augvape intake fits and is long enough to use the rba in the Cerberus. I’m using it right now.

    With all the discussion of nicotine concentrate here has anyone seen this?
    FDA issues proposed rule for premarket tobacco product applications as part of commitment to continuing strong oversight of e-cigarettes and other tobacco products

    The next to last paragraph. "The agency recently published a final guidance for manufacturers submitting applications through the PMTA pathway for ENDS, such as e-cigarettes, “vape” products and the liquid nicotine and nicotine-containing e-liquids used with such products."

    It has always been the consensus here that a PMTA will be required if nic base is being sold to individuals who are not FDA registered manufacturers; i.e. people like us who make DIY liquids for personal consumption. Hence post #4 in this thread.

    I didn't stock up on 13.5L of 100mg for nothing. lol Thinking about getting 2 more liters just to be safe.
