I have both, the Arctic is a very solid unit with good coils I use the .3 if I recall. The Crown is definitely better and capable of higher watts but both are worth owning. Congrats.


I recently ordered a crown tank & an arctic clone. Has anyone else tried these & how happy are you w them?

I have both the Arctic and Crown as well. I only use the Crown now and occasionally my Smok TCT. Aside from me believing the flavor is better in the Crown than the arctic (very similar though, wouldn't be surprised if someone said they think the Arctic is as good or better in flavor), the Arctic also seems to have something going on during coil break in that makes me nauseous and they don't taste quite right. This is the primary reason I use the TCT as my back up.

Both the Crown and Arctic are great though, you'll be happy with both.

Do you know if the TCT coils will fit in to the Crown Tank?

I had an Arctic (as well as most of the top end SubOhm tanks). Recently received a Crown and it has easily bested my previous sub ohm tanks in flavor, vapor production, build quality, and package bang for buck. Flavor wise, the only tank that matches performance is the Smok TCT (criminally underrated flavor tank)

I have a Black TFV4 on the way, and while I'm excited about the innovation that line looks to bring, I would be shocked if my opinion changed. We shall see.

Crown tank is the best I've had or tried. I have Kangers and Aspires and across the board the Crown is better. Simple design (vs. Aspire Triton - so &^#%# complicated!) and I was sick of the Kangers leaking all over me and my stuff. The Crown has incredible airflow, big drip tip, lots of flavor and did I mention EASY TOP FILL?

Well worth investing in the RBA deck for the Crown. I'm a mouth to lung guy and I'm rocking huge clouds on the Crown with my own 1.5 ohm coils. What's nice about this set-up is that I can use my nice little Eleaf 30 at 10W and it lasts me all day. Otherwise if you like the 0.5 ohm OEM coils I suggest getting the Eleaf 100W with two Efest purple 3100mah 20A batteries (6200mah will last and last and last...)

Oh - and get a vape band for the glass on the Crown. Broke mine in the first week after knocking it against a table. Luckily the Crown comes with two glass tubes in the box.

The only coil I like in the Crown is the 0.5 ohm stainless. Just tried the 0.25 and got a very moist vape with a little spitback, not my personal preference. Tried nickel 0.15 and had very short coil life. Flavor very good with any of the above however.

I am in the minority, but prefer the Arctic as my daily driver. Tighter smoother draw, and less effort to get vapor production. With the 0.5 dual coil, I find about 50w equivalent to 60w in the Crown. Arctic flavor good but not quite like Crown. So far coil life with Arctic nothing too great. Going through 1 to 2 coils per week and I am not a heavy vaper.

I see why flavor fanatics love the Crown in any case.
