I'm glad you're liking it. Overhyped tanks come up every day but Crown is a great vape always, no matter what tank you choose. Something in the wicking?
The second tank of my choice would be the Cascade baby. If you wish get the full kit (the mod uses a 2x700 battery) but mind you, it's a flimsy mod. Don't expect it to last very long. Here, watch this. You can get the .15 mesh coils for it, so to see if you like the throat hit from mesh (it's very harsh for me, I mostly vape on normal coils).

Thanks @Susaz i am really liking it minus the battery performance. I ordered a space tank and 0.25 ohms coils. I only vape 0g so I don’t think I have to worry about throat hit. Is the cascade tank better than the mesh pro and falcon and did you mean the uwell crown tank will be better or same as the nanchaku.

The armpour pro mod does look small, not sure with tank how travel friendly it is.

My next quest is to have a flavor like the nanchuku yet is a smaller size and something with internal battery so I can charge through a wall adapter usb charger when traveling.

You were wondering about the Zenith... I can't vouch for it, I don't do MTL. Smaller tanks mean more refilling. The Cascade Baby is the closest thing to travel friendly tank you'll get.
All Crown tanks are great, but the Nunchaku is the quintesential advanced starter vaping kit. All of Crown tanks have that great vape, some with more and some with less air. Heads are not interchangeable.

I want to get the vaperesso armour pro because of the size but different battery is what’s holding me back. I am also considering the tarot mini.

Will these work with the cascade baby tank?

Is there a Tarot Mini? There is a Tarot Nano and a Tarot Baby – both of which utilize built in batteries. Nothing wrong with that but battery life may not be as good as some of the batteries @Baditude pointed out. Plus when the battery reaches the end of it’s life cycle, you have to throw the mod out.

The Armour pro can accept 21700,20700 and 18650 batteries. So if you wish to stick with 18650 because that’s the same battery used in your other devices, you can! No problem!

As for tanks. I also second the Cascade Baby and will throw in the Vaporesso NRG as well. Both these tanks utilize the Vaporesso GT Core coil that comes in a wide variety of different configurations from Ceramic to multiple coils to Mesh. It is also compatible with Smok TFV8 Baby type size coils – there are at least 2 dozen manufactures that make compatible coils so your choice is pretty much endless.

The Freemax Mesh Pro was mentioned earlier. Awesome tank, really enjoy mine. But the majority of their coils run at a higher wattage. Depending on the coil you use you will be running the Nunchaku at or near its maximum level. Battery life will suffer greatly. With duel battery mods I would recommend this tank in a heartbeat – single battery mods it is a difficult recommendation.

If really interested in Freemax tanks, the Freemax Fireluke Mesh maybe a better choice. But just note you can get mesh coils for both the Vaporesso Cascade Baby and NRG tanks both of which do have a larger juice capacity.

This mod accepts the 18650 and other batteries right?

I am sure you guys have a lot of mods and tanks. When I started I thought I would get two and be down, not so fast as I am learning.

I think I need one smaller size with and without internal battery.

One with dual battery
And one really small mtl and pocket friendly. Along with multiple atleast 3 tanks for easy flavor change without having to refill.

You would have to get the Cascade mini for the Tarot nano if you don't want overhang. It's 22 mm in diameter, so the baby would give you some overhang.

With that said I have a setup that I won, and I really liked it quite a bit. Although I'm not a sub0hm type person the Veco tank (which accepts the EUC coil, I believe it is) was not bad at 0.5 for me.

I have a more MTL tank on there now, but I get good battery life and it's great for an internal battery tiny mod in my opinion to tuck away somewhere not that noticeable .but that's also going to depend on what wattage range you run it at, and how often you are going to be filling a rather small for DL tank..

Oh I also dropped into my coffee and I dried it out for two days but it never missed a beat. It is a nice little setup, but I will say the smaller you go, the more you sacrifice as far as runtime.

It charges fast , I have found.

I have single battery, dual battery, and triple battery mods. Big mods, small mods, tiny stealth mods. I guess they all have a purpose. Using them all allowed me to realize what best suited my style of vaping.

Currently my all day vape device is a single battery 75W DNA regulated mod. I like something that is pocket friendly and feels comfortable to hold in my hand. I can always carry spare batteries with me in case I need them.

Excellent post and just goes to show how we all have different values. You are ok with carrying extra batteries where I am not. I want a device that can cater to all my needs when I am out and about. Large tank capacity and battery life to last a day at the very least. The trade off is a bigger, less pocketable device but I’m ok with that.

I guess there is not a single device tank combo out there that check all boxes and based on ones preference some compromise has to be made. I don't want to carry around battery when I am on vacation and sitting by the pool. I want something that can get me a few puffs per hours for atleast 2-3 hours, I can always go back to the room to refill or carry the juice in the beach bag and refill when needed. With kids and ton of other things to carry I want to be able to carry minimal vaping stuff.

For home, I can have dual battery setup, I think my current need is to get a dual battery setup for home and a smaller inbuilt travel size with great flavor tank for when traveling.

For the dual setup I think I may get the Innokin proton, but can't find the mod only in white, any ideas?
For the small mod, is what i am struggling most, I would like to be able to get something that can be either inbuilt battery or external use the same batteries I currently have (18650) and use the tanks that i have and plan on getting.

Ordered the freeman mesh pro I think, always getting confused with the name.

Side not: I ordered the uwell nanchaku tanks and could from fast tech, but it still hasn't shipped, its been 3 days since i placed the order, is this common?

Anna, if ever a manufacturer made an IP68 mod (tested for hot liquid immersion) you should snap it up. Be great for your coffee collisions. Just needs an appropriate name, maybe the X-Vape Depth Charge :lol:

I've only immersed two of them....

Okay, there is no way to complete that sentence in any kind of reasonable way. To get REALLY technical about it, the Nano got coffie'd twice. The first time, it was bobbing in my coffee until I could extract it, the second time it was slightly flooded during the "Why don't I just drop all my mods really hard on the coffee table here causing a few to slide INTO the coffee which tipped over, and like, flooded it and my radius. The tarot was probably flooded LONGER because I was highly focused on my radius.

I don't actually need a hot liquid immersive mod to be quite honest, I needed what I have obtained, a coffee cup with a lid. Okay, so the coffee is not "the same," but my MODS are remaining coffee free, which is worth it.

Seriously, my Creator must really want me to vape, because ALL my mods should be dead. Every last one.

The tarot really impressed me, it DID! LOL.

If I ever do put up a youtube review channel it's going to be named, "Will it die" and will probably consist mostly of early morning footage, then a montage of "here's what I am trying next" and well, it would be as compelling as that blender that is like more powerful than a rocket engine and its associated series of videos, "Will it blend?"

It pretty much blends everything I for sure don't want that blender I'm pretty sure my hands would blend.

Anna Vaper of Coffee Shame. LOL.

So I ordered the Innokin Proton mod only and Vaperesso Armour pro,
humor me again, but what batteries should I get for these two mods? I already have 2 LG HG2 18650 for my Uwell Nunchaku and and efest 4 bay charger.
Already answered this question for you earlier in the thread, so consider yourself humored twice.

What is the highest wattage setting that you normally vape at? Pick your batteries based on that wattage and the amp rating of the batteries below. Always pick batteries based upon the amp rating that you'll need as your first priority, and then choose the higher mAh model as your second priority.

In a dual battery mod, "marry" as a permanently paired set the same two brand and model battery. Same for a triple battery mod.

-If you use a good quality 15 amp CDR battery like the Samsung 30Q or Sony VTC6, then you are good up to 45 watts per battery; 90 watts using two; 135 watts for three batteries.

-If you use a good quality 20 amp CDR battery like the LG HG2 or Samsung 25R then you are good for 60 watts per battery. If using a 2-battery regulated mod, you're good for 120 watts as you have two batteries. If you are using a 3-battery mod, you're good for 180.

-If you use a single 25 amp CDR battery like the Sony VTC5A, then you are good for 75 watts per battery, 150 watts for two batteries, and 225 watts with three.

-If you use a single 30 amp CDR battery like the LG HB6 you are good up to 90 watts; with a pair of 30 amp CDR batteries you could safely do 180 watts.​

@Baditude thank for reposting the information again, I apologize as I completely missed it. So I have been vaping anywhere between 4O-65W, thats because I have found that for some desert flavors I need to increase the wattage and for fruit/candy flavors its better in the low wattage cold vape.

So i have the invokin proton mod, I need two batteries and I am ready to order, I am thinking I will order a set of 4 batteries so two can be used and the other 2 will be charged (for innokin proton).
For my well nunchaku I don't go above 65w, as the battery drain is very fast. Should I stick to another set of 2 LG HG2 18650 batteries?

I know you gave a choice, but want to get a recommended out of the ones listed. Will be ordering from Liionwhoelesale batteries.

I'm understanding that you are purchasing new batteries for the Proton (dual battery) where you'll be vaping 40 - 65 watts. I'd go with one of the three 3000 mah battery models. I've used both the Samsung 30Q and the LG HG2, and prefer the 30Q. You could also go with the HG2 since you are familiar with them.

However, the Sony VTC6 was a slightly better performer than either of them, but is usually a bit more expensive to purchase. You'll have to do your own price comparison shopping.
