For a simple answer : there's isin't a "best setup" there's only what's best for you,anything else is subjective.
Ok so I want to get the best flavor and cloud possible. So what would u do. I'm running now at 50 watts and ohm on 0.130 the flavor is great and cloud semi efficient. Does it get any better? Also I don't want to fry these coils so any input would help lots. Thanks bro
Well first off i don't own the tfv12 cloud beast king tank so i can't really help you on it (fact is i don't really like smok's tank) What i can tell you is to check the recommended wattage that's written on the coils themselves,start low and make your way up until you find your "sweetspot" then keep using it and don't worry about clouds, just find your sweetspot (the coil should be broken in by then) and do your dtl inhales like you normally would.
Though 50 watts seem a bit underpowered for a tfv12 coil. Flavor wise that's more dependant on your taste buds and the juice you're using,but yes it does get better after a bit of usage (at least my tfv8 did)

I don't own a Smok tank but with the very low ohms you are running, 50 watts doesn't seem unreasonable. Honestly, the best way is to experiment a bit with higher and lower wattages and see what you prefer as far as clouds vs flavor.
Good luck with your new setup! You won't fry your coils if you stay within the recommended wattages for your coil, though higher watts can mean more juiceflow and higher temps, so staying on the lower end of things MAY improve coil life, though it also has to do with airflow input, the juices you are running (super sweet or dark juices can be coilkillers) etc.

I have an Alien 220 and tfv8 cloud beast and I run my 0 .15 ohm coils at 90 Watts and that's just right for me. Loads of vapor. Still a cool vape at 90 which is what I like. Vape on.
Wattage to Cloud as replied above is all very subjective. Believe the TFV12 coil heads have recommended watt ranges printed on the coil heads and their packaging. To get to the sweet spot, remember "You as the End User" are the biggest limiter of this determination, next is Nic Strength, Flavor Of the Juice, and finally the PG/VG ratio or the liquid. There is no silver bullet one size fits all wattage setting, the "Recommended" watts on a coil head are just "Averages" but a good starting guide to where you "Could" be in wattage for a particular coil, after that, to reach the sweet spot you have to do the following dance
*These Steps Apply to "ANY" new coil*
A) Prime the coil properly. Take your dropper and liberally soak/wet any exposed cotton on the sides of the coil, then down into the top of the coil. Key here is not to have juice pool or drip off the coil head, just enough to get wet. Assemble the tank, set aside for a few. Thinner liquids 70PG/30VG to 50/50 this can be 5 to 10 minutes, thicker liquids 20PG/80VG and such can take up to 20minutes. This allows the coil to soak up and saturate properly.
B ) Set the watts on you mod lower than the lowest "Average" rating of the coil, example coil rated at 40 to 80 watts, here you would set the watts to about 30watts to start. Just like you don't go racing a brand new Ferarri without first driving it a month gently to break the motor in properly, the coil head of your tank is the motor of the whole vaping device, you have to break it in gently as well.
C) Without hitting the fire button, take several unpowered puffs, this relieves any excess pressure assembling the tank cause as well as creates the proper vacuum to pull liquid into the coil the tank needs to operate properly.
D) Now in short max 5 second pulls, vape on the device for about 20minutes or so continuous usage, after this if everything is A-Ok, up the watts about 5 more watts, vape at this setting for another 15-20minutes continuous use, rinse and repeat this step until the flavor, heat, throat hit, and vapor production is to you "Your" personal tastes, not Joe Bob Buddy's flavor taste, but "Yours".
E) During Step D, any moment that flavor decreases from the previous setting on a new setting, or feels anemic, and/or almost a dry hit, take the watts down to the previous setting, this is sign that the wicking (cotton) is not keeping up with that watts setting, here the PG/VG ratio also comes into effect (thicker liquids will wick slower than thinner liquids). If you get a burnt, harsh, punches you in the back of the throat charcoal hit, tear out the coil, get a new coil, start at step "A" you've burnt the wicking and destroyed the coil head.
Note- Some flavors like higher heat (custards, bakery flavors, sweet cinnamons, cookies, caramels, vanillas, etc) where others like lower heat (tobaccos, coffees, simple fruit flavors, not very sweetened flavors), as stated above flavor of the juice is a big contributing factor, liquids with high PG get harsher and more throat hit at higher watts, just like higher Nic content gets more throaty the higher the watts. Vape is to hot try adjusting the airflow wider or lower the watts down. Again, no one size fits all silver bullet setting.
I'm running at 1.25 ohms in an Achilles atomizer on a mech device. Amazing full, rich flavor and I don't care about clouds.

It's all subjective and totally different for everyone.
It's a journey.

Thanks everyone for all the help. I've gotten this vaping experience down now... Any suggestions in a good site to buy good cheap juice?
Verde Valley Vapes offers some nice juices at excellent prices.
Just to give you info for comparison ...
PG based juices offer more flavor. VG produces thicker clouds. Some of us like mouth to lung vaping and others like direct to lung inhales. The balance between flavor and vapor lies somewhere in between 100% PG and 100% VG.
Wattage is based on preference. If you are looking to replicate the cigarettes you threw away when you started vaping, you'll probably like high PG juice under 20 watts. If you want bigger clouds and higher wattage, then high VG juices will satisfy you, but rich flavor may be sacrificed to get the clouds. Typical mixes range from 70pg/30vg to 30pg/70vg.
Past that, it's also about what kind of flavors you like. There's tobacco flavors, fruit and candy flavors, dessert (pie and cake) flavors, and some of us enjoy plain old PG/VG/Nic with no flavorings at all. I'll typically vape unflavored mix at least half the day. It helps to prevent "vaper's tongue" where you temporarily lose the ability to taste the flavor in your juice.
I'm an upper fringe "sub ohm vaper" who likes 70pg juice. My typical coil is .5 to 1 ohm and I vape somewhere around 10W on my Alien 220W with occasional excursions down to 8 watts if the juice is higher flavor or up to 15 watts if it's not atomizing to my taste. My RTA's are mostly MTL draw.
The Cloud Beast is going to be more suited to high watt, high VG juice, and an open direct to lung draw. You can go to Steam Engine and play with the vaping calculators to see where the sweet spot is for your atomizer and mod combination.

If you're into clouds and higher wattage vaping, ELiquid Depot has some nice flavors and $20 gets you 240ml 120ml. I think they're moving into a bigger facility this week, so orders might be slow.
Mt. Baker Vapors is another good site. A little pricier but very good quality and lightning fast shipping. Use code ECF10 for 10% off.
Save even more money by mixing your own.

I always buy from Juice Mafia, 100ml for $20. I order it with extra favor then double it by mixing in an equal amount of VG.
