I haven't had the leaking problem that others have had. The first two coils I had didn't last long. After I prime the coil I wait at least 3 hours before use. The first two coils lasted about 3 days each.
When the pack of coils I ordered arrived that is when the problems Im having began. It works ok for the first day or so the flavor fades a bit and then I get these random hits at the same watts where it burns my throat... worse than a dry hit. I am not going above 60 watts and I take my time to prime and break in coils. I feel like this tank was a huge waste of money. What am I doing wrong? Is it the coils ? Because my crown 1 still performs well.
Every time I try a new tank I have the worst luck besides the cupti which works fine I just don't use it often. The crown 2 was crap. I was hoping for better results with this big baby beast tank. What a let down. Everyone loves it I'm ready to throw this tank on the vape junk pile. Everyone has a vape junk pile :)
Im reluctant to use the rebuildable section as well. I screwed off the top of the section the coils 2 of the hex screws literally popped out and went everywhere without me touching it.
At this point I may go rda... even with the learning curve its better than spending money on coils that don't seam to work for me...

So, any advice for me? what do u all think?

Sorry you are having problems with this tank. But if you are getting hits worse then dry hits, something is really wrong. You might add some additional information like if it is performing like that on more then one mod, what mod are you using, which coil, where you got your coils, exactly what juice and make-up of it, does it on all juices/how many tried, etc. Never too much information.

While 2 to 3 days on a coil sounds really short, a lot would depend on what juice you are using and do you hit it hard all day every day?

I am having exact same issues and the leaking!! I feel like everything I own is sticky! My Aspire Cleito is problem free..coils last weeks but I save it for my coffee flavors. I am so ready to chuck this one!

I have had nothing but issues with the Baby Beast/Big Baby Beast Coils. And I love the regular TFV8.

For me, the coils last about 5 days till they start tasting burnt. And I only vape it at like 60 watts so...
Me, too..I have been using the .15 with the 4 coils. I take them out and wash them and only once was it actually burnt, the other times they look brand new after they dry. I started using 80 vg juices when I went to subohm tanks..I seriously regret it because I want to try going back to 50/50 because I think it's just too think for those coils, but I'm a newbie..I could be wrong. If I didn't go full throttle and stock up on everything but I got prob 2 gallons of ejuice and 20 of those coils.
