I have tried everything between 50 and 100 watts. For me 70 watts seems to give the best flavor for a triple coil.

Ok. I've been considering getting one of these and there is a huge variation in opinions of it. I wonder if there is a quality control issue with the coils? Some people have great results while others have horrible experiances with them. My experiance with smok tanks has been great, I love my TCT and the Micro GDC is 1000 times better than the Nautilus. No coil issues with either, where the Nautilus had about a 1 in 3 rate of bad coils. The TCT made me retire my SubTank mini, it's that much better...

I think it's a matter of personal preference. The coils seem to perform fine but so far I've only had experience with triples and quads, as well as both RBA's. The triple is too hot for me, the quad is great at 60 watts. Since there are going to be like a hundred different coil configs you're bound to find a couple that work for you!;)

Well, reviewers have all the currently announced coils, the Ni200 Air coils I ordered just shipped, so I imagine by the end of September they should all be available if you can grab them before they sell out. As for future RBA's it's still speculation, if you have building skills you can do vertical coils on the current decks!

Whats your juice PG/VG ratio using the dual coils? I just got mine today and tried out the dual coil it came with and was very excited but got disappointed. I tried it from 30 to 70 watts on my IPV Mini2 w/ 100% VG and my Kanger SubOhm Mini @30watts with a 0.2coil on my iStick blows at least 2x more vapor. Haven't tried the tri and quad coils yet though.

Got a pack of the 1.5ohm dual coils today. Enjoying them so far. They're rated for 20-45w but don't really get going until 30w, currently running one at 35w and getting a good amount of vapour and flavour. Great option for those like me who don't want to vape at huge wattages.

I been vaping my TFV4 for going on two weeks come Monday. The only coil I have tried so far is the tri coil that came in it. I usually vape it at 80 to 90 watts but have had it at 200 watts. I gotta say that going thru 3 to 5 tanks or more of juice a day on the same stock coil is impressive for this atty because the flavor and cloud production is just as good as the day I opened the box it came in.
I have killed a 60ml bottle of custard, a 30 ml bottle of mothers milk, a 15 ml bottle of unicorn milk and put a serious dent in a second bottle of custard and a bottle of vanilla cupcake in almost two weeks time and the flavor is still good and enjoyable.

I have found out that this is a situational tank. If your home chillin, go ahead and create a fog bank. But if your driving or at work, no. It puts out too much clouds and if a whiner wants to make an issue of it, wont be a good thing. Its kinda hard to say it dont bother anyone when the whole room is hazy from your clouds. :D

I'm using around 60% VG. I wouldn't say the duals blow huge clouds but that is strange, should be able to beat the subtank mini, especially if you've had it right up to 70w.

I can say now that the flavor is getting better. During the fourth tank of juice flavor started to improve. I like a medium warm and moist vape that leaves aftertaste of juice when exhaled. My other tanks usually break in after one tank of juice. It seems the triple coil takes longer to blossom.

Does the TFV4 match my Crown for flavor production....no. But now at least it is showing promise.

The higher u go, the better it tastes, for me my sweetspot is 50-60, but the flavors really come out in higher wattages

Got my quad coils in. Definately like them over the triples. Still playing around and trying to find my favorite wattage for them. so far im up to 90w. cant wait for my dual RBA to show up.. But I still havent gotten a shipping notification from 3fvapes. grrr....

How long did you run the tri coils and any problems with the tank seal when you took it apart? I want to try the quad coils but so far the tri coils i am using are running fine and I am worried about the seal cutting.

I had to resort to this because of this tank and have mixed some great juices, saved a bomb load of money and not have to worry about how much I vape or If Im going to run out.......well not until next Summer at least :)

I found 90w to be the sweet spot for the quads..

Bought two gallons of VG last weeks for around $38 with free shipping from essential depot. You would be surprised how fast it goes.
