Wicking the Crystal Ball is also very straight forward, just leave enough wick to touch the bottom of the deck on both sides and your set. The post holes are quite accommodating, meaning that you can run some large diameter wire in there if you so desire. The included Ni80 staple coils are a cinch to work with as they are quite pliable and easily molded to your desired layout. You do need to be wary of the chamber surrounding the coils, as you do not want them touching each other and making a short. This makes installation a very simple and straight forward task on the velocity style deck – nothing new here. You can tweak them as much as you like with ease. The build deck is fully exposed when broken down, so there is nothing getting in the way when installing your coils. It seems some versions come with a replaceable squonk-ready 510 pin, however I could not find this in the box I received. I didn’t detect any machine oil on close inspection, however I did give it the obligatory bath before building up the deck. The stainless steel chassis is solid and well manufactured, it doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy at all. Overall build quality is seamless, with no sharp threads and no loose connections. Inside the chamber section, we find a velocity styled deck with hex grub screws that take an Allen key.
The Crystal Ball breaks down into six pieces for ease of cleaning and building your coils. The drip tip has two small tabs on the bottom of it to catch the top cap and wind it off or on. The top cap is made up of two sections, one that screws out of the frame, by using the drip tip to unscrew it, to expose the fill ports. Above this sits the black tinted Pyrex glass reservoir, which is held in place by a hieroglyphic adorned top cap. Starting from the bottom we have a gold plated 510 pin and a wide, adjustable dual airflow. The widest part of the dome is 34mm, so it is not a subtle design process by any stretch of the imagination. It’s totally spherical apart from a 24mm base and a drip tip on top. On first inspection of the tank, it is definitely unlike any atty I have seen before. The foam inserts keep the tank and spare glass nice and snug, so there is no chance of it getting damaged in transit. Rather than include an instruction manual, the information is printed inside the top cover of the box itself. Inside we find the tank itself, next to a spare glass section and a bag of spares. The box is predominantly black with product placement on the front and some graphics which look very Harry Potter like (think magic spells, whirlpools and lightning). The Crystal Ball comes in a relatively large box for an RDTA.
