Looking for thoughts/advice

[gvegastiger]

I've been vaping a Vaporesso tank using their cCell coils .6 ohm on about 15-20 watts. These are rated for 15-40. The coils last for about week and it's fine for me, but then the tank starts leaking like a sieve out of the air control ring. I'm not interesting in trying to diagnose this issue by changing o-rings and the like and this is my only tank so I need to go ahead and get a new one.

I've vaped for a few years now and am not a newbie, but the days of trying a bunch of new kit out and chasing the latest thing are behind me. I just need something simple and reliable to last me for another year or so until I get off vaping entirely (down to 1.5 mg nic!).

I'm looking for something that's easy to top-fill and that can support vaping lower wattages but can jump up to 40-60 watts if needed. I don't need to blow enormous clouds, or chase flavor, or be complicated. I also don't want to spend more than $30 or more than $15 for coil replacements.

So I'm asking the community for any recommendations they might have. I really like what I've seen of the Crown 4 (easy to fill, easy to change coils, link protection with the bottom juice catcher, but it doesn't look like the coils support lower wattages. I don't want this thing to drink juice or hit me too hard so that's why I'm interested in lower wattages. So give me your thoughts! Much appreciated.

1. Try an RTA. That way YOU get to choose the coil, not a manufacturer.
2. Advken Owl. Top airflow means no leaking, and there are about a dozen coils (Baby Beast compatible) that will work.

I did not realize you could buy replacement coils for RTAs. Good to know, I'll take a look.

Ok, I've been out of the game for a bit here and am unfamiliar with mesh coils. Can these be vaped at lower wattages, and do they go through juice quickly/produce huge clouds? I'm not really into juice sucking devices and clouds galore.

The main reason that I never got the Crown 3 or 4 was because of the coil selection offered. My sweet spot for a few years now is 30 watts or a little lower. I love the Original Crown because it offered a wide selection of coils that could be used for a wide range of wattages. However, its a 4 year old tank and it and its selection of coils are beginning to become scarce to find.
Original Uwell Crown Clearomizer Tank

• • 1.2 ohm Single Stainless Steel Uwell Crown Coil - 10 to 30W
  • 0.5 ohm Dual Stainless Steel Uwell Crown Sub-Ohm Coil - 30 to 80W
  • 0.25 ohm Dual Stainless Steel Uwell Crown Sub-Ohm Coil - 80 to 120W
  • 0.15 ohm Dual Ni200 Nickel Uwell Crown Sub-Ohm Coil - 400 to 600 Degrees Fahrenheit (temp control)

I'm not really aware of another clearomizer tank that offers such a wide range of coil resistance and wattage settings. It seems they are all either a high resistance, low wattage MTL tank or a low resistance sub-ohm, high wattage, DTL tank.


So I've been on a search for an eventual replacement for my Original Crown tanks because of their coils future availability. I'm liking the Geekvape Cerberus currently. Uses sub-ohm mesh coils and it has an airier draw. I'm getting a very pleasant vape at 25 - 30 watts (below the recommended wattage range), but it won't perform well at the lower wattages you are seeking.

• 0.2ohm Super Mesh X1 Coil - Rated for 60-80W

I've also used the popular Innokin Zenith MTL Tank. It's strictly a lower wattage MTL tank that offers 0.8 ohm and 1.6 ohm coils. It's draw is too restrictive for all day use for me; makes my cheeks hurt. But if you are used to a restricted draw, it might be what you are looking for.

• 0.8ohm Zenith Coil - rated for 15-18W
• 1.6ohm Zenith Coil - rated for 10-14W

• 0.5ohm Plexus Z Mesh Coil - rated for 14-19W
• 1.6ohm Plexus Z Mesh Coil - rated for 10-14W

generally no

and do they go through juice quickly/produce huge clouds? I'm not really into juice sucking devices and clouds galore.

generally yes

I think he meant for you to build (R=Rebuildable), so you had more control. But there are tanks that use drop ins that have an RTA deck option. Maybe even vice-versa, I'm not sure.

 

[gvegastiger]

Ok so maybe what I’m looking for isn’t likely to be found outside of my current Vaporesso. The leaking just really chaps my hide. I have zero interest in doing coil builds again.

Hi - A bit old school, but have you checked out the Aspire Atlantis Evo or something like a Melo 4? I think they're mid-range in terms of power, but you get a decent selection of coils. You might just be able to use them at ~20W. There are other tanks that can use the Aspire coils.

Not MTL, fwiw.

Old-school Kanger Toptank, perhaps? Very versatile tank, plenty of different coils ranging from simple .5, 1.2 and 1.5Ω Nichrome to Claptons and TC coils. It comes with an easy to build RBA coil, just in case. Fasttech has the best prices--just make sure it says "authentic."

i've been using the voopoo uforce t2 tank, with .6 coil.

i've been vaping this at 19 watts.
this is the onlydtl set up i can use.
i'm mostly mtl.
is this what you want?

You can also buy precoiled wires for RTAs. You have to clip the ends after you screw them in but they can last for months with cotton changes

The new Innokin ISubB is a little higher than what you are used to, but it does give a nice, flavorful vape with the newer mesh coils. It's rated for 30-50 Watts.

I like a nice airy draw so looking for DL. Thanks for the advice guys. I’ll check these out.

 

[GreySG]

You might want to check out the Tobeco Super Tank (mini @ 2ml & 22mm or the 25mm & 5ml). I like the .3 ohm Tobeco coils or the .9 ohm CCel coils for reduced power usage. Top fill, simple to maintain and the coils are compatible with the majority of Atlantis based coils. You can also find them for reasonable prices

Are you sure you just don't want to install a new o-ring if that's the issue? They do wear out sometimes and it would be the quickest fix for you.

And it’s almost certainly what the problem is. I’m guessing, if I missed it, were talking about Vecco tanks. If so, I have several and they have all been leak free except the first one I got that needed a ring change last time I cleaned it- it’s about 9-10 months old. It’s really an easy fix, and should be expected as normal maintenance.

Kinda like buying a new car because the tires are shot?

 

[Mordacai]

gvegastiger, let me guess. Is it the Cascade tank?

If it is, you're not alone. I have 2 that leak like a sieve as well.

I'm now using a Luxe kit with Skrr tank, and the tank works well and most importantly does not leak, and has a nice feature where the drip tip screws into the door on the top of the tank so it doesn't pop open in your pocket or a bag.

Also the Skrr can use GT CCell coils.
