Spent Christmas evening looking at my glass-less Crius tank.
Cant wait till I find a replacement glass to get it steaming!!

Just a query - what is your best build so far to get flavour?
SS 316L works well but I get a muted flavour rather quickly.
Spaced 8 wraps, 0.3 ohm approx.

So far (since this morning) mine has been great. Very easy to build on - velocity decks should be a standard - no leaks with the top-filling, droppers don't make a mess, tucking the wicks wasn't that difficult just something new to get used to, excellent flavour with a simple dual coil 0.4 ohm kanthal 26g build, and no dry-hits after chain vaping 70/30 juice all day on the very first build.
Based on how easy the deck is to build on and no leaking, I prefer it to the Bellus (although admittedly I've been top-filling my Bellus without any leaks for 2 weeks at least). Great tank so far.

Sorry for the dumb question, but how do you open the Crius?
What I mean is take it apart for cleaning?
Do you pull up on the top cap to pass the open position for top fill - or do you screw something?
I dont want to break it
The manual shows it comes apart - but I may have missed where it explains how to take it apart...

Thanks for asking that question. I would also very much like to know the answer
I had a similar problem trying to pull mine apart for cleaning. It basically unscrews and comes apart the way the manual shows, but I had to run it under hot water first in order to unscrew the bottom from the top (the fill hole section rotates, which makes it especially hard to grip)
@Silver
First of all, lay down a towel on the surface youre going to be working on. Make sure glass wont roll off or anything.
To take it apart, the chimney screws off the glass. Assuming that you have seperated the base from the chimney.
However it is very difficult to get a grip. So best to do so with latex gloves or even vape bands to get a grip. Don't be too rough with it as it can smash the glass too!
For as far as I know, the top fill part doesnt disassemble any further.

Thanks @KB_314
So with one hand you hold the bottom metal part and the other the top metal part - then unscrew?
Just checking - you don't hold the glass?
Yes that's how I did it - I tried not to put any pressure on the glass, so you just have a thin rim of steel below the glass to grip onto. The rotating juice fill section at the top also limits what you can grip onto above the glass. Latex gloves... I keep forgetting to get some for the vape kit!
@Lingogrey Im very sure. I smashed both my glasses and one was from putting too much pressure on it...
I saw from your posts on the top of the page and in the "who has stock" section and that was what I was referring to. Sorry man - didn't mean to make fun of what must be a frustrating situation; just find personally that sometimes laughing at stuff like that is the only way to not go crazy (but in this case it's for you, not for me, to decide). If you can't find a glass locally soon, a friend of mine from Cape Town might be in Gauteng for a day or two within the next week and I could perhaps send my spare glass with him and you could sort us both out with spares soon?
I apologise if I offended you Alex - bad judgment and taste on my part with that remark
@Lingogrey no man haha. I wasnt offended at all. Im just making sure that no one makes the same mistake.
I would really love to find spares soon. No one stocks it in the country. Waiting for eciggies and VM to open after holidays to try out the lemo 2 glass. Apparently they are interchangeable.
Thanks for the offer, but Ill be in PE for 2 weeks from next weekend.

Today is my first attempt at testing the crius since getting it on Monday.I would like to know what builds you guys are running and wattage.I like vaping at 60-90w (is it possible with this tank?).My current build 26g ss 5 wrap at 50W 200c (tc mode).Using normal power mode the highest I could go was 55W (chain vaping).tried 60W but could tell by the taste I'm going to get a dry hit.So far so good with rta the flavor (NCV strawb) was very similar to what I'm getting in my dripper.
Love the tank. But don't go over 40watts as it eats juice. I'm using two 26g 2mm Claptons at 0.3ohms.
Have taken her to 70watts but to hot for my liking
So much praise around this tank, gong to have to be my next tank purchase!
My Crius has become one of my daily tanks I run 24g dual coils at 0.38. I have found that with wicking in this tank less is more you need just enough to fill the coils but not so much that the wicking is tight. My best flavour for this tank is coffee flavours, I've tried a few different coffee flavours now and they are all better in the Crius, maybe because it gives such a warm vape the coffee favour works, Come to think of it the doughnut will probably work well with this tank too then. @Silver I see from the pictures you posted that your build deck posts have two holes mine only has one, I wonder why that is, maybe you have an updated version. The single post holes do make building on mine a little difficult. I find that in Watt mode the best is between 35w and 45w any more than that the hits become drier, unless you take very short hits. I will be building some Ti coils for the tank this week to see how that tastes, I have a feeling the tank will prefer TC vape to keep the correct temp and not get too hot. @Rob Fisher I recently dropped my tank and now the juice flow control is loose like you described does not seem to change the vape you just have to look before you suck to make sure they are open. I have had to buy a new drip tip because the glass one broke in the fall, I bought a stone drip tip from Vape King and I must say I like it more than the glass one that came with my tank. Over all the tank chucks huge clouds with flavour as good as any other tank I own
Yup v3 is slightly better for wire gauges but the posts are too close together to get away with the single coil trick like in the aromamizer.
Not sure if v2 also has the 510 drip tip but v3 is prety damn good

Hi @Bartart
You are right - and thanks @KimVapeDashian - i have the V3 with two holes in each post. Does make building easier. But the post screws are these little hex thingies not normal screws so I am using their little tool they provide - but its quite small.
On the vape, you are spot on @Bartart - i find the Crius is definitely a warmer vape. I have tried 28g dual kanthal coils now to get it crisper and am on about 25 Watts. Its very nice but I think still a bit warmer than i would like for menthol fruity vapes - so for me this is going to have to become a coffee or other dessert type vape. I think the Crius likes more power and more airflow. At least thats how I find it.
