Tank decisions

The tfv8 will introduce you to wrapping your own coils once the pre made coils are finished , you will realise how easy and cost effective it actually is . . . Then when your vape budget is blown to pieces due to the thirst of modern tanks you will venture into DIY . . . With all the hard earned cash you saved from building and DIY you will buy countless Rtas in search of the perfect vape. At least that was my story with the tfv4 at the start of this year
Sooooo true. Lol
 
I know it wasn't part of your list of tanks, but maybe have a look at the Lemo 3, it takes stock Atlantis type coils and it has a proper RTA deck which can be swapped out. Afaik the Atlantis style coils can't handle as much power as the TV8 or XL C4, but an option considering the RTA. Also one of the best tanks I have used to date.

I can't imagine anything being easier than the Uwell Crown - I have 3 of them.

The only thing u need is patience when priming the coil. Awesome flavor and clouds, easy top fill, and no leaks. I'm pretty sure the coils last longer than any other stock cotton coils on the market (if primed properly).

Definite winner!

You must see the Crown 2....!! Been using it for the last month or so and it kicks ass. I have a TFV8 and the crown 2 is my go to...

Now, if I can just get replacements coils...

Yeah I'm definitely planning to get one, just waiting for it to be available in Cape Town, or for Vape Cartel to restock the coffee color!

hey man so you rate the crown 2 better than your v8 and hows the stock coils readily available and is it cheaper than replacing v8 stock coils?
 
Hi @Vape_Da_Ape
Just caught up with this thread now
Good to see you asking folk for their experiences on the tanks and doing the research first
Also uncovering a few interesting things from everyone's answers, so thanks for that

I have not had any experience with the tanks being talked about so cant offer advice here

Would be interested to hear what you decide on and how you find it. Let us know
 
Dont overlook the Joyetech Ultimo tank either. Fantastic airflow and flavour with some nice coil offerings. Clapton, notch, ceramics and RBA if I recall reading correctly
 
also guys please advice a tank that doesnt chew through stock coils like mad , i dont mind it being thirsty but having to replace coils all the time would suck hey, basically i need a tank with good clouds and good flavour good capacity and decent juice consumption lol , with stock coils that need replacing maybe once a month lol i know im asking for a unicorn maybe lol , i plan on using an rx200s

Hi @Vape_Da_Ape , its not easy to find commercial coils that last long yet still produce great clouds
Also depends on what juices you are vaping. If they are easy on the coils and wicks then it will last longer.
In my opinion you may need a compromise solution of sorts if coil economy is your priority

My Crown 1 coils last more than a month. I don't know about the Crown 2.

I don't think there are other stock cotton coils that last longer. You could go with ceramics which apparently last longer but someone else would need to confirm.

@Silver any suggestion then mate? i dont mind compromising i rather have a thirsty tank than thirsty coil eater lol

Ok i dont have experience with this - ie the higher powered tanks like the TFV8 with commercial coils
But all i am saying is that trying to get coil economy out of that setup seems unlikely to me
What juices are you vaping? What mg strength?
What is your current setup? What power?
 
@Vape_Da_Ape - I would seriously look at a tank (like the Melo 3 Mini) that can take the Vaporesso cCell coils. Because they are ceramic, these are by far the longest lasting commercial coils I have tried... if you prime them well & treat them nice, they can last for way more than a month.

Difficult to give a definitive answer here... Both are brilliant tanks - I'll try and explain:

The Crown 2 is a bit more reserved - she is elegant and provides outstanding flavour, cloud and beauty. She will play the roll of the Rolls Royce. She looks amazing but has the power to kick any contenders' ass. The coils are still impossible to find locally as the tank is not available in SA yet...My coils have been going for about 4 weeks now with no sign of letting up. They have releases and RBA in the states - still to land locally though.

The TVF8 is the aggressive Subaru and packs an almighty punch 24/7 - feed it regularly and it will not disappoint. The coils are readily available and the RBA is a breeze - even a noob can pull off a decent build.

I trust that this confuses you even more!
 
No experience with those you inquired about. But since you want to use coil heads instead of rebuilding, the Melo III (4ml)/Melo III Mini(2ml) top fill tanks with Vaporesso cCells (now that they have figured them out) are an easy fix. The tanks don't leak or airlock, the cCells give excellent flavor and plenty of vapor @30W with the .9Ω cell, and folks like their newer .6Ω that can run higher as well. And they last a very long time with most liquids, especially if you run the same liquid on each cell all the time. It's not a big deal to change cells and store them in small marked zip lock bags for future use with their liquid again when you want to install a new one for another liquid in the tank. I did that with my first couple of Melo tanks using several different liquids in them. In their day I really liked my 5 Melo's despite the draw being restricted for my long DLH's. While set aside with so many others to choose from now I'd still use them sometimes, so they are not permanently retired yet. I'm more into the rebuildable tanks though that I can match the build to the joose... with my three 22mm and three 24mm Avocado's being better than all the others for my uses. Most of the others leak or are all too soon didn't cut the mustard in some way that I refuse to deal with. It's become a tank graveyard around here of hyped tanks that I will not use again.

Have u checked Vape Cartel? I don't know if they're out of stock but they definitely had the tank and coils.

The fact that u said it's not available in SA yet made me realize u may not know they have/had.

Looks like they still have, here u go... http://www.vapecartel.co.za/collect...-replacement-coils-4-pack?variant=25594846147

The tank as well... http://www.vapecartel.co.za/collect.../crown-2-sub-ohm-atomizer?variant=25594408579

They're just out of stock of the coffee color tank, which is the one I want.

Thanks! Yes, I'm aware that the tanks are available at VapeCartel - the problem is that I have asked them on numerous occasions to verify which version of the coils these are as there were issues with V1 and V2 of the coils. V3 is what I require but I'm not getting any response from them to confirm whether it is V3...
 
100% Agree with everyone that suggested the Melo 3 with cCell... but there is also another option now and that's the iJust S Tank... works well with no leaking and takes a cCell and the big bonus is it has a bigger capacity than the Melo 3 Mini 2ml tank! 3 days with no airlock! Chicken Dinner!

@Rob Fisher but, for some entirely weird an unknown reason, everyone I know who's used the cCell's (in various tanks) never had any issue with the first coil. The airlock issues only seem to appear with the second coil (aside from some workarounds, and with the exception of the Melo 3)

Yip I can identify with that too... there is little doubt that there are various "flavours" of cCell production and despite emailing Vaporesso I could never get a decent answer.

Air lock issues with Vaporesso cCell tanks especially was a widespread SA thing. But none of my cCell tanks have ever had an airlock issue with the .9 cCells I used that were bought from a US supplier (I did not use any of the coils they included in with the tanks). That included 3 Target 2's, 2 Gemini's and 5 Melo III/Melo III Mini tanks. For that matter not a single tank I've bough has ever had airlock issues.
