i got the kit yesterday, haven't played with the rba yet but the tri coil it came fitted with is a plume monster, this thing blows all my other tanks clean out of the proverbial ocean >:) I run it at around 75 to 80 on my ipv4 and it rules, haven't even touched my drippers today because of this beast....buy one...BUY ONE NOW :)

well, you can use a slow cooker to speed it up with some flavours, custard's and vanilla's take longer, but fruit flavours can be pretty much shake and vape most of the time, with a slow cooker you put the bottles in it (make sure they are glass) fill it with water up to the necks of the bottles ) I leave the tops on) then leave them i it for 4 hours and shake them every hour :)
if you can stop yourself from vapin straight away then put them in a dark cupboard for a week with the tops off after the slow cooker steep ;)

Definitely something I need to cosider, I'm generally not a DIY buff but when it comes to vapeing and saving money I'm sure I'll get the hang of it

well if you smoke premium juice at say, 14 quid a 30ml?...prob make it for about a quid :) ...and it's nicer, in my oppinion, don't know what the pro's use but mine seems a lot cleaner and fresher and vapes a lot smoother than there's :)

In all honesty, and this is just my opinion only, I think the TFV4 is a little over hyped. I've hit the quad coil (I think?) at 100 watts and even with all the airflow open it was still a really hot vape. I like hot vapes (I run claptons, parallels, etc. on my drippers) but I just honestly believe there's better tanks out there.

Your right about one thing mate it does get hot, I keep it around 60w with the triple and it's fine, I've had a lot of tanks and like you I run drippers and tanks with claptons, zippers etc but for the price I think this knocks others at the same price range out of the park, especially for build quality and performance, they could of got away with charging a lot more for it. That's just my 2 cents worth tho ;) lol

Yeah I can agree. It's a lot better around the 60 watt mark, but It seems like a tank marketed for the high watts (90-100) and you would think it would be able to retain heat a lot better with it's airflow. Also, it burns juice stupid fast.

i agree alot of hype went into this tank..and dont get me wrong i do like it and keep it in my rotation but being that i already have the v2,strarre, and the atlantis mega and my wife's herakles, if i walked into a shop and they were letting people use and after using would i buy it? i can easily say no i would not..i would just take the $80-$100 it would cost me for the tank and a 5 pack of coils and just stock up on more coils for my wife and i..i have tryed it all the way up to 110 watts for a few minutes the juice for me does not get warm its fine but the tank at the base does get really hot and makes me wonder how long those o-rings will last with that much heat..

That's a point actually, I have never run any tank that high so it never occurred to me about the o rings, and also it appears it's a lot more expensive over the pond, I paid £29.95 for mine which I thought was steal, and I do love the amount of clouds this thing produces, I have only had it a few days though so time will tell.

Very true, you even have money to burn or this really is a DIY tank.
