I set mine up and made sure that the wick was well and truly soaked
I put it on a VT200 and left it in temp mode at 450f and.......... 38w
The coil reads 0.35ohms
For my strawberry milk it was the perfect setting.
I like this setting so much that I haven't even tried it in wattage mode.
It took about 2/3s of a tank to break the wick in properly and now it's vaping great
Pure flavour and very decent clouds with the added bonus of zero spitback- that I've experienced yet anyway
I'm quite impressed with it

Payday on wednesday, I forsee another one heading my way

I know you won't have rewicked yet, but does it look like it will be fiddly? If it's a simple enough process I can see me trying one in the not too distant.

When will i learn??? it happened just the same with the subtank, the TFV4mini and mnow this mod, I buy cheap from china -pre-order and then sit back while all the canny folk buy from the UK suppliers who invariably get stocked up and deliver in advance of GB and FT......

mutter mutter grumble grumble sasin frassin bugger bollox bum.

my whinge aside hope you enjoy it tabs604, and will share your thoughts and experiences when you get your mits and lips on yours.

First impressions!!!

Received the Black Krixus tank form Sr-Vapes a few moments ago.

- Really well built tank. Dont like the huge bore drip tip.
- Looks great on the cuboid.
- primed the coil with some Lime slush from Heidi Heisenberg.
- Fired at 50 watts. Got good vapour and flavour. ramp uo is slow
- Fired at up to 75 watts. flavour and vapour is much better. tank gets allot warmer.
- Straight away I compared this to a new tank I have acquired called the Ijoy Reaper Plus. The Reaper is much better for flavour and vapour with a stock 0.4 kanthal coil.
- Ramp is quicker at 75 watts. Flavour is good and clean and feel it will get better as I vape during the day.

Summary - good clean flavour and vapour, ramp up is slow, needs high watts.

But early days.....or minutes.

I re-wicked the spare head out of pure interest

It's a doddle- just remove about 5mm of cotton from one end of the supplied cotton strip and tear off the very outer layer and wrap around the ceramic. It seems the supplied strip of cotton is a tad too much It takes seconds

Try it in temperature control mode, I have zero ramp up time and at 40w I get a very warm tank

450f and 40w in nickel mode
440 and 40w in tungsten tcr mode

TBH, I quite like the nickel mode

450f and 40w in nickel mode gave me nothing!! I tried 77 watts in nickel mode at 470f and its great!! Many thanks.

Day 2 with the Krixus - update!

After re-wickiing im having issues.

Too much cotton and dry hits. Too little and it leaks through the airflow.

Ramp up is a pain the **s.

Tank is getting very hot.

Does not like temp control mode on the cuboid.

Its very annoying but I will give it some more time.

Krixus no.2 arrived today and I fitted the spare coil that I had re-wicked from the first, No issues to report

The cuboid doesn't have pre-heat like the dna boards so they need higher power initially
That tank does get very warm though, there's bugga all I can think of to combat the issue
Biggest con for me is that the juice goes through that tank so blooming fast
