Smok TFV4 TF-S6 coils

[irisev]

I just noticed that the hex coils are available for pre-order on FT. $20.46 for a pack of 5x TF-S6s.

Curious to see how these 0.4ohm units will rate compared to the quad and tri coils. It seems that currently most people rate the quad's flavour above the tri's?..

I currently run a Evic-VT (max 60w) and the hex coils are rated at 40 - 100w so of all three pre-built configurations, this coil may be the most suited to that mod? Look forward to finding out.

P.s. This is my first post so a quick intro about me:

I smoked cigarettes for 23 years. 8 months ago I came across a guy selling disposable EVO E-Cigarettes. Tried one out of curiosity and although it wasn't great, it opened me up to the potential of ecigs! So I started reading/watching reviews, reading forums etc and became a true vaper a month later. This is the path of tanks I followed since:

Eleaf BCC mega (from igo4 beginners' pack)
Pro-tank 2 mini
Aerotank v2
Subtank mini
Nautilus mini (liked the performance, but not the idea of ceramic coils)
Subtank mini 2
triton (my current daily)
billow v2
eGo one mega

I have on order:
Freemax Starre Pro
Uwell Crown
Smok TFV4


I live in West Africa.

Nice to meet you all.

Nice to meet you. It's good to say hello to fellow vapers.
Good luck with the TFV4 and crown tanks.

 

[Jace75]

Yo good choice of tanks hope you make your own juice though.

 

[EverPresentNoob]

Im rocking the tri-coil in my TFV4 now and it guzzles the juice. I plan on ordering the quad-coils next week, but I dont know if even with me DIY'ing my juice if I could keep up with the hex-coils thirst....

 

[RingaDing]

Hex coils. Getting a little silly imo.

 

[irisev]

Yes - juice consumption... I have indeed started reading up on DIY'ng!

For now though, I'm gambling on the hex coils being less thirsty than the other TFV4 coils though probably still more than e.g. Triton 0.4 ohm?

My sextuple coils will arrive in my mailbox tomorrow!

 

[RingaDing]

Keep us posted. Would be interesting to know advantages/disadvantages.
Next up coil type i'd like to see is a stainless steel mesh coil where the coil is the mesh.

 

[Night_mirror]

I will. I keep telling myself that I'm gonna wait 2 weeks or so until this triple coil that I'm using dies to try the s6 but we all know that won't happen.

 

[EverPresentNoob]

well the quads are basically a 4 strand parallel vertical coil, so Im assuming that the hex coils are just two strand parallels in the tri-coil housing.

Mesh coil would be v interesting. Much increased surface area and so better heat dissipation through the wick - therefore even more flavour.

Yeah presuming so too.
Thinking about it, the single strand (tri) coils are of a lower resistance (0.2ohm) than the dual strand (hex) coils which are 0.4ohm. I guess the hexes use higher gauge coils to achieve this increased resistance? Higher gauge = thinner coil wire = increased surface area = higher heat dissipation = more juice consumption(!) even though the power rating of the hex is lower.
Anyways, will be interesting to hear what @Night_mirror has to say about them flavour and juice consumption wise.

 

[irisev]

Looks like @Rixsta is all over this topic already. His main observations so far being similar flavour, juice and battery consumption between the quad and hex, however the hex does it with cooler vapour. He's vaping them at 90w - way beyond my wattage zone.

Look fwd to trying out a hex at 35 - 50w...

Where did u order them from?

Welcome to the club.
Sounds like you got vaping in your blood.

 

[dcfluegel]

howdy!
and welcome!

 

[Night_mirror]

Just popped one in. My first impression is that it's a better version of the triple. Fantastic flavor and great clouds.

 

[jellyq]

the tfv4 is a freakin juice guzzler.....

 

[Tydaddy]

I currently run a Evic-VT (max 60w)

At 60w, I don't even get close to a satisfying vape with the tfv4 (when using the tri and quad coils). I guess if you like a very cool vape, then 60 might be ok. But, for me 80 is where these coils BEGIN to start making vapor and flavor. The sextuple head at 60w is a little better though. Noticeably warmer at 60w with better flavor than the other 2 coils (@60w)
