smok tfv8 baby beast troubles!!!

[smacksy]

ok so i got an email yesturday from smok. they said the bubbles are normal due to the rewicking process, but the vapor filled bubbles however are not. they said that is indictive of a vacuum leak. the most common culprit is the gasket in the top around the refill opening. so last night i took the old one out and cleaned the hole and put the new one in and holy ....!!!!! the seal now it 5 times tighter then before and no vapor in the bubbles!! my tank is now crystal clear!!!!

That's great Larry!
Kinda knew it had to be something simple..glad you got it fixed..

you and me both!!! it was driving me crazy

you and me both!!! it was driving me crazy

So the burnt hits were from preheating? I'm going through coils every 4 -5 days. Driving me crazy!!! I'm using the baby on a Therion. I can't go over 43w or burnt taste with the .4 coils. The first coil went almost 2 weeks before flavor loss. It was awesome. None of them after that last and i'd settle for the damn flavor loss over burnt taste.

thats wat was wrong with mine the preheat would jump to 100w after the battery change and when i primed my coil and started at low watts it would hit it with 100 to start then drop to the 25 that i wanted

i cheched all the o rings and swapped to a diffrent juice it 80vg/20pg last night. so far its acting normal but i can see in the tank after taking a hit that occasional there is a small tad bit of vapor but nothing major like it was. the orings on the other coils were all in good shape. my first thought was one of them got pinched. im gonna try going back to a 50/50 blend later and see if it starts acting up again. but a big thanks for all your help though

I run 65/35 or 70/30 in my bby beastie, with the quad coils at 55-65w and chain vape with no issues, my gf on the other hand ran 80/20 on the q2 coil and burnt hit city. I prime them for 10 min the instal coil , let it sit and soak for 30 min and start at20w and go up by 2 watts slowly for 8 or so hours til i hit 40w and the next day i go up to 50 and so on. Ive done this with my crown as weel and never burnt a coil unless i used 80/20 or higher.

 

[Larry C]

my crown has no trouble at all to get going on th .25 coil i have ran max vg in it with no trouble at all. after i fixed the top seal and adjusted the preheat on my mod its vaping like a champ now. i just ordered an h-priv kit with the micro tfv4 yesturday at my local shop

Been running custom mixed 100% VG juice in both the CloudBeast and now the BabyBeast with the T8 coils..No problem at all..They wick good, blow thick clouds and no dry hits even chain vaping..no leaks either,

Glad you got it working, Larry! Looks like my Baby Beast will never see the 510 of my 213's. But I am fine with that since it looks so darn nice on the matching Alien mod.

Happy vaping!

I read through this, suspecting it was the vac... learned about the preheat issue as well... good info to learn even if I don't own one, it might crop in a future tank/mod q.

I have been bouncing back and fourth between to BBs (different flavors) for 8 days now. No problems with different %vg/pg from 60/40 to 70/30. I stay within the "best " range written on the coils. Usually 55 to 65 watts. Was typing in a forum the other night not paying attention and ran it dry. I know what smoking an old sock tastes like now. Just filled it and it cleared right out. One thing I have noticed about these things is the close tolerances. BE careful when your screwing things together. I hate fighting the o rings and trying to feel the threads at the same time. To correct that I take everything apart if anything and start the threads on everything before coming in contact with the o rings. Then everything pulls together straight. Habits I developed rebuilding hydraulic systems on backhoes and other heavy equipment. O rings are little miracles really but if you roll one putting something together they might as well not be there.

my hubby is a DtLer, he's vaping the q2 on his BB at 25w, i tried it, not bad... i'm at 30w on the BB and 45w on the BBB currently, all 3 are the dual coil q2.

Hi guys and gals,
im new to the forum, but ive been reading on here for about the last month. ive recently started vaping(4 weeks with no analogs!!!!) i have a fuchai 213 and a smok tfv8 baby beast. ive been using the same coil .4 ohm since i got it. i started getting a burnt taste so i figured it was time to change it. ive primed the new coil right cause after a few hits the flavor comes through great. after about 10 hits or so the great flavor goes away, and i get a burt taste again. i have noticed when i take a hit the bubbles that come out of the cotton has vapor in them and it fills the take up. ive used 100%vg and diffrent mixes down to 50/50 and all produce the same results. ive even tried 2 other coils and all have started fine but end up the same. any ideas or help would be great!

I'm so glad I saw your post Larry I'm having the same problems I have blown through more coils that I wanted it meant have you had any luck resolving the problem?

Sounds like the coil it isn't tight in the base... I would also check that all gaskets are in their proper places and not broken or missing. I've had the BabyBeast for awhile now with no issues at all.. good luck figuring it out

Prime coil, install , let it sit in full tank for 30min , strt at 20watts and go up in 2watt increments, if it seems like its not wicking take the coil out and poke 3 or 4 holes in the cotton in juice slots eith a needle safty pin or needle tweezers, then scrape the cotton til you cant see the holes you poked. Reinstall and let sit for ten min and strt from 20 watts. I get coils every pack or so that dnt want to wick and this wrks for me and my fiancee. I run 65/35 in my bby b

I've gotten the coil to go up without the burnt taste but now I get a small amount of smoke and then jyst air on my hits. It's frustrating. With my Cleato tank I get vape as long as I hold the button down. Any ideas?

I'm sorry to hear you're still having troubles with your BabyBeast Christy...

After priming the .15 ohm T8V8 coil seen here I fill the tank and take a couple dry pulls without firing the button..I don't poke holes in the cotton and take my first hit around 65w..Never have I gotten a burnt taste or even come close to a dry hit vaping 100% VG..my sweetspot for this setup is around 70-75w or so with airflow wide open... its a great little tank as I own two of them now with no problems at all.. good luck!

That sounds like the 510 isnt making a good connection. Check the o rings on the coil, make sure its screwed dwn tight and try it on a diff mod if possible

Your lucky. I run 65/35 and i get about 1 coil per box that just wont wick, and i have to poke holes in the cotton. If i go over 55 watts the coil only lasts 3-4 days, so i stay at 40-45 and get a week or more. Thats the prob with premade coils, theres always gonna be duds or in my experience coils with too much cotton or it just too tight. Overall the coils are consistent compared to other similar setups.

I guess I am lucky as I get 6 to 8 weeks on the same coil vaping it everyday..Im a big fan of the Beast tanks and have good luck running the new CloudBeast King T12 at 150-160w or so..got a month on this coil and still going strong

Clouds are good too, lol

If i run higher vg than 70/30 it just won't wick worth a sheet, but its been cold . 100% vg no way , you must live somewhere very very warm lol
