How do you figure it possible to blow same clouds but use less juice? Please enlighten us. CHEERS!
Hence the reason I said 'similar performance.'

I understand that less juice consumption equals less vapor production.

It seems that the tfv4 has a reputation to be a bit of a juice hog. Indeed it is but I think that's why it's awesome (IMO of course).

I was just asking for some suggestions for a quality tank that is a bit more conservative on the juice consumption for work.

Thanks!

i actually heard the uwell crown is the next best from a TFV4 and it doesn't consume as much

i have a TFV4...i'm not really having issue with money so...i dont really care...but...it does drink alot i admit that...most people who have a tfv4 imo DIY juices (make their own juice) with the amount of money you spend on a new tank and what not...you can make your own juices cut out the future juice cost and not have to buy a new tank... idk my suggestion is to DIY juices tho instead of buying a brand new tank when you got one that preforms like a beast.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Don't get me wrong.. the tfv4 will continue in my line up. I just don't see the need to make myself disappear in clouds while I'm at work when nicotine is more my concern than clouds and intense flavor. The tfv4 will be my go to while at home where I can just sit back, relax, and enjoy.

I put the RBA with the airflow restrictor, and it has great flavor and consumes a LOT less liquid (while I had it).

So, I currently have the tfv4 mini which is awesome BUT it drinks juice like a chevy 454 does gas.

I'm looking for something more economical with similar performance.

Any suggestions?

I'm using the single coil rba with a resistance of .76 ohms running at 25 watts. 80%vg.

So, you want a 1/4 mile 4 sec. car at the performance cost of a 4 door sedan? o_O

There is a Reason the TFV4's perform the way they do.
More in = more out.

I'm probably a bit of a vaping black sheep, but here's what works for me.

I don't particularly like the hit of the TFV4 first thing in the morning with my coffee, paper, and breakfast. So I still use an Atlantis or Kanger Sub for a good part or most of the mornings. Sometimes it even works so well for me, I find myself staying with it well into the afternoon. But after lunch in the afternoon, nothing is better then a few hours hitting a TFV4, so much so I have 3 of them with different flavors with "coils to match." Occasionally, I'll spend a little time with a dripper, especially if I have a new flavor I'm taking for a spin. Then in the evening to wind down for bed, it's back to another Atlantis for some German Chocolate Beefcake to end my day. That's my "sweet spot" for vaping and it works for me. Guess that is my "alternative" to the TFV4.

Unfortunately, DIY is not an option for me, so I willingly pay out for all my juices. That's OK. Vaping makes me a happy camper.

why is it not an option btw? simple products to purchase and it's relatively cheap for large portions o.0 only issue for me is finding flavors o.0 but local B&M should sell em..if you dont want to buy online

I have a bit of a problem with essential tremors, would be like trying to DIY during an earthquake. :shock:
Some days I even forgo the dripper. I even have to chuckle trying to hit the little fill slot in the top of the TFV4.......the center hole is a much bigger target! :)

i mean that shouldn't deter you : /

if you're got some ingenuity in you...you can set it up so you really don't have to do much yourself o.0 would prob cost more than your typical DIY'er would spend initially but it would def be worth it in the long run...specially for you...

i've already set up my extra garage with two barrels (one for VG and other for PG) i plan on setting up a pump that measures out how much is put out and stops at 500ml (i have a bunch of 500ml clear bottles)...i'm working on trying to set up a system to distribute flavors aswell...thats gonna be a toughie since i'm not that great with this kind of stuff...but my friends an engineer and another is a chemist so they said they'd help me out... i mean it's all do-able...just how much time you want to put into it...right now i'm actually trying to figure out how i can set up all my bottles to just get fed to my barrel pipes...my dream would be like a mini soda factor like those bottled drinks..man the ingunuity on some people in unreal until you realize how ingenious of a process it is...

You kind of got to the point when you said "in the long run." Without going into detail, let's just say I don't buy green bananas. Ok, not that serious, but my shelf life is a bit limited.
