More review: Uwell Crown III Review/Unboxing (with pics)
uwell crown 3: Uwell Crown III Tank - 5.0ml -Elegomall


I won this tank through a contest here at ECF from Elegomall that was coordinated by @Pheric . I asked if it would be possible to get the rainbow iridescent color, and he made it happen! :D

I have it sitting atop a Sigelei Fuchai 213 at the moment.

I started it out at 80W, bumped it to 90W shortly afterwards. I've been running it for around a week and a half now, and currently have it cranked up to 125W with a 1-second preheat of 150W. So far, never a dry hit or burnt taste at all. Of course, I have the airflow all the way open, and as Acid said, it isn't the airiest tank I've ever used, but it is sufficient for this tank.

I'm still running the 0.25Ω SS coil that came pre-installed. The coil is oriented in vertical fashion and has a 5mm I.D. with the cotton wrapped around the outside of the coil. Also, there is very little fidgeting to change out the coil. Simply unscrew the base and pull out the coil; there is no threading on the coil head. For me, the flavor from this coil has been very good and it has wicked consistently well (even when I let the juice level in the tank drop below the "Min" level line). Vapor production has also been very good, producing thick, dense clouds with 30pg/70vg DIY juice. For you RTA/RDA users, I would rank flavor/vapor/airflow about the same as the older SilverPlay V2 RTA (I still love that li'l tank). It isn't quite up to par with the CoilArt Mage RTA which is still my favorite.

The Crown III does have a 5ml juice capacity, but be warned... that goes QUICKLY! I am finding myself going through about 15-20ml of juice a day with this tank. I typically average between 10-15ml with most of my other set ups.

As for leaking, it has handled being left on its side for short periods with few issues. There can be some cross leakage from the fill holes to the center hole which leads down to the coil. That will cause some gurgling, and I would imagine leakage from the airholes if left in that position for an extended period of time. Other than that, I have had no issues at all. The build quality and design of this tank is very good; all threads are smooth and all seals are tight. Fit and finish is definitely top-notch.

The little bottle opener looking tool is handy. It will fit into the air slots to give you extra leverage for unscrewing the base. Also it is the key that unlocks the top section if you need to replace the glass. If you pull the drip tip, you will see a straight slot with lock and unlock icons. Put the key in the slot and unlock the top. Then just unscrew the top section and take off the glass for cleaning or replacement.

Overall, I would give this tank high marks for anyone in the market for a high wattage tank with factory built replaceable coil heads. Filling the tank is super easy due to the large fill holes underneath the top cap, fit and finish is excellent, and the heavy gauge, large I.D. coil appears to have very good longevity. In 10 days, I have gone through approximately 150-200ml of juice, and flavor/vapor production is still going strong... even with the wattage exceeding the recommended ranges.

This has also been my first experience with Elegomall, and I have not been disappointed! Shipping time was very reasonable, I was given the tracking numbers so that I could follow my package, and everything arrived in perfect condition. Also, @Pheric has kept in contact with me and has been an absolute pleasure to work with. As this was a contest win, I thoroughly appreciate his going above and beyond to make sure that I got the color tank that I hoped for! Thank you, @Pheric !!!


Thanks my friend for his review and your support!
We will do better!

I have one that I've been using for two weeks on different mods. . From day one it has leaked when placed down on it's side. As the review states it is not a seal/gasket issue but a design flaw.
The last three days I've switched between the Crown 2 and the new 3. Been trying both in tc and watt mode; from 40 to 75 watt and from 280 to 450 temp.
No major difference. It does produce provide great taste, and excellent clouds, but so does my Crown 2; and the Crown 2 doesnt leak.
I like the 3, the massive coil has performed well, the look of the tank is great (and big!), the new air flow adjustment is excellent. My only complaint is the damn leaking. Full tank, half full, almost empty tank. It still leaks. It's a big pain in the .... to not be able to lay my mod down and I can't pocket it 'cause I can't sit if it's in my pocket. I'm going to try placing a piece of rubber over the fill holes after filling it, as I do like it and want to keep using it.
I am by no means either an expert on vaping or an experienced reviewer.

I like your review. It's very clear and useful. I used the Uwell 3,it has leaked.
So crazy.
