Corn 'n' Cows
Let's hope so!!
If anything i will get the batteries while they are on sale.
I typically go through a 5 pk of coils between two tanks in like a month ago a half.
I go think i will need a new tank. Everyone hollers about three that ive seen..
Crown
Tfv4
Herakles
.... Which one pushes more and has best flavor?
Also ive heard the crown leaks "like a sieve"
The tfv4 .... Holy crap what coil? Theres like 13...
I hear herakles is pretty awesome... Anyone tried it?

I have a Crown (and the tank, too!). With stock coils, hasn't leaked, but does get a little gurgly when its pretty low. RBA leaked like a sieve because I didn't get the wick long enough. I will try it next time we fill. Got nuthin on the other two....don't have either one

:confused: I've had my Crown for five months now, and never leaked a drop in all that time. The Crown is pretty tight, too.

YAY FOR Recycle\ReUse\Restore!!!! About 10 years ago, I had an old Reel Tape reader in the storage room (Yes, the computer kind) that I NEVER would have guessed anyone would want. HUGE. Put the big spool in, and vacuum would suck in the end of the tape and read it. Just COULDN'T put it out in the trash.. Put it on Ebay, for $30, free shipping. IT SOLD! Cost me a lil more than the $30 to SHIP it, but hey!
You need to do more shipping.

Yah, the "If it fits" envelopes kept ripping. Thing was a beast! Probably.. 60 lbs? NOT talking about those little tape cartridges.. Here's a Google pic, shown without the cover...

I've only got the tfv4 mini, like it a lot. I believe it's 1mm narrower, and a little more than 1/8" taller, than the kanger subtank mini.

I've only used the rca and r1 heads with it. The rca comes with the kit, the r1 was an add- on buy ( very nice, easy to use for a coil newbie like me). No leak issues with either of those heads if you make sure to put the wick into the juice wells. The top fill mechanism works well.

okay - couple of t'ings... i have not really had ANY issues with my crowns leaking - and i have a couple in regular rotation... great flavor, coils seem to LAST a long time... TFV4 - yeah - LOTS of options there, overall, imo, a very solid platform once you figure out what coils are your faves - current fave overall is dual clapton, though i do run some of the high wattage ones as well... no real insight on the herakles - lady wife has one, it will use the aspire coils, i don't have much info on it though...

two suggestions for things to look at - tobeco super tank mini - inexpensive and an EXCELLENT little tank - top fill, takes aspire/ triton coils - good flavor and can chuck some fog... for an RTA, really dig my steamcrave aromamizer, but you will have to be willing to tinker with it a bit, lol - velocity deck option is the only way to go, imo (have also been hearing good stuff about geekvape griffin rta) - and the advantage on the rta's is no more buying coil heads, you just build em :)
