My first set up is a TKO Firefly with an iClear 16D clearomizer. At first I was loving it. Great vape, throat hit... ect. I changed the coil out, and now it's a bit weak. Even my boyfriend says it's not acting like it used to vape wise. My Apollo and Kanger combo is becoming my go to because now it vapes better and they were the same before the coil change. I'm just hoping to find out what the issue is. Does anyone have experience with TKO and their products? Thank you, guys.

All I can say is that TKO have taken a bunch of well-known products and made up some names for them all.

This is usually a bad thing, as you have to pay more. BUT, I'm not that familiar with US prices. Converted across to UK, I'd say it was still a little pricey though.

If the 16D is the new Innokin dual coil, then I'd expect it to vape poorly on a 'firefly' unless you are using a fresh charged battery.
I tried using the Kanger T3D on an eGo battery, and it was like a return to the dark ages.

Dual coil clearos don't work great on eGo batteries.

Thank you. Yes, with three bottles of juice added to the mix, this set up was way more expensive than my Apollo superior/Kanger Evod combo. I loved what TKO put together for me until now. I'll probably just order another Kanger Evod for my Firefly battery then, because as far as I know there's nothing wrong with the battery. Would it possibly be the coil itself? Could this just be a bad coil? That does happen occasionally, right?

Update: She's vaping like a charm, now. Bad coil... or so I assume. I changed it and now she's working as good as when first vaped. I guess I need to stock up incase this happens again. Don't want a bad one to be my only one.

If it's working now, one can only guess at a bad coil.

If I was buying a new clearomizer for an eGo battery (Firefly) I'd 100% buy an Aspire ET-S (BDC) and get a 5 pack of the new BVC coils for it.
These two together are a new level up from evods. They are only $2 more expensive for the tank, and the atomizers last weeks rather than days.
or, you could try the Aspire K1 if you want small and see-through.

TKO do the mini Protank 3. I bought one and what with the dual coils and tiny amount of liquid (I can't quite last a day with just 1.5ml) I just gave it away next day.
Kanger coils are just dreadful compared to the new Aspire BVCs. Really bad value as well given the short lifespan.
