About The Core 2.1

The Shenzhen Crossing Core 2.1 is the updated version of the Core 2.0 and The Core 1.0 now features a non-rebuildable 3D atomizer as opposed to the rebuildable Atomizer on the Core 2.0. The difference in atomizers makes Core 2.1 a better quality option since the non-rebuildable atomizer negates the need to purchase tools to dismantle the atomizer itself. The Core 2.1 features one-button functionality and a fully heated ceramic vaping surface, not to mention the carefully tuned heat settings and aluminum/glass vapor pathway. Apart from those amazing features, the Core 2.1 comes with a 3150 mAh Li-Ion battery pack that takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes to fully charge. Shenzhen also created the Side mouthpiece glass bubbler for easier sessions.

Additional information about The Core 2.1

The Core 2.1 and 2.0 were created by listening to customer feedback on the original Core. The newest version features 4 temperature settings that are indicated by a color. If you set your desired heat setting to Blue, this will include a 12.5-second pre-heat and approximately 205°C, the Green at 13-second preheat time runs at approx. 220°C, the White at 17.5 seconds preheat time runs at approx. 240°C and finally the Red at 22.5 second pre-heat time and runs at approx. 260°C. Starting the Core 2.1 while it's cold is an option but we recommend always pre-heating and using your concentrate once your device is hot.

You should get the Core 2.1 E-Rig if…

You are looking for a new and improved version of the Core 1.0 that runs on V5 heaters instead of wire based coils. Not to mention the decreased preheat time and increased session time. Overall the Core 2.1 is simply a higher quality device since Shenzhen Crossing took into consideration customer feedback from the previous versions.

Crossing Core 2.1 E-Rig features improved button function

One button functionality which makes it very simple to use. 2 Click will start session mode, 3 Clicks will change the desired mode, 4 clicks will give you a battery indicator and 5 clicks will either lock or unlock your device. You can also hold the button for manual fire, best used to get the most out of your wax by pressing and holding for an extra 3-5 seconds at the end of your session.

Non Rebuildable 3D Atomizer

The Core 2.1 as previously mentioned features a Non rebuildable 3D Atomizer which will provide a much higher overall quality. It also removes the need for the tools required to dismantle and put together the Atomizer. Shenzhen Crossing understood that most consumers look for relaxation when vaporizing and the extra hassle is simply not worth it.

    Only negatives are that:
    - I accidentally broke a bowl trying to clean it (user error)
    - The battery life isn't the best, but you can use it while it charges.

    Great value for the money.

    Great first E-Rig. Very affordable and produces thick Vapor. I honestly have no desire for a Puffco or more expensive device after purchasing this.

    I'm enjoying this thing...
    I find that when I buy a budget device, I have to lower my expectations... That being said, I am happily surprised by this eRig. It looks like the coil has the same ceramic core with kanthal trace that's in a Crossing Nice Dreams RDA or a Divine Tribe V5. No complaints at all.

    Almost perfect, few minor qwirks
    i've had this Core 2.1 for about 3 weeks now, I love it, but I have criticism.

    First is the big one, it's a hell of a value. It does the job amazingly, and has an amazing bang for the buck. I highly doubt anything will beat it for the price, and most of the more expensive ones will still have trouble.

    it's heavy and feels firm in your hand, everything fits together very nicely and professionally. I originally called this a chinese knockoff Peak, but it's clearly not a knock off anything, it's a high quality chinese competitor in the market.

    The criticism. The battery is a little small. as long as you plan to charge it every night, this probably wont be an issue, but i haven't gotten into the habit yet, and a few times it's gone dead before I expected it to. It does charge quite quickly. wait 10-20 minutes and you can get your dab in, then let it charge again

    The bubbler. It works great, nice and cool vape, and water stays in the glass while using it but why it's straight up and down, i'll never know. I tipped the unit too far and spilled some wax during a dab when I first got it, so now try to keep it as straight up and down as possible, which is awkward with this bubbler. They sell a couple options of angled glass, I will likely get one of these in the future.

    The power settings. there are 4 settings, which are clearly temperatures, but how they work is kind of unclear. Preheat cycle isn't nearly long enough. If i go to dab when it vibrates, nothing will come out, if i wait it will. I generally do 2 preheat cycles of whichever temperature i'm using (only used blue green and white so far, green is my fav). Also the session length doesn't seem long enough... quite often i need 2 or 3 cycles to finish the dab. it's not a big deal, i can just press the button again, but the timers are confusing here.

    on to the carb cap. This is touted as being nicely fitting and professional, it totally is, and it sits securely, but i don't understand why the loose cap on the top, which I never remove except to see how much dab is left, is just loosely placed on top (albeit a perfectly machined fit) instead of magnetic closure or something. This does get sticky with reclaim pretty quick so it does really stay in place, but magnets would be more satisfying... HOWEVER, the carb cap, collar, and silicone tether that you remove to reload your bowl or clean it, is a tight friction fit between the stainless collar and a rubber o-ring on the base of the unit. its not hard to remove, but magnets on both would have been much more elegant and functional in my opinion.

    Last nitpicky thing, i wish the airflow gap between the outside of the heating chamber, and where the threads are below the bowl on the body of the rig, was slightly wider. this is the path the hot vape takes on the way to the bottom of the bubbler. Quite often there will be reclaim, spilled wax, or water from the bubbler if you knocked it over by accident, and a Q-Tip will ALMOST fit in there to clean, without removing the bowl, but unfortunately it won't. A tiny bit more room would allow you to clean 95% of the unit without unthreading anything, this is a small area, but it does get quite dirty.

    there's way more good than bad, i won't list it, but I am very impressed. it has fallen off my coffee table a few times, and the bubbler shows no sign of damage. At this point i would buy it again if I were to go back and make the decsion again.
