Got one. Love it. Top fill works good, but is a bit awkward... I have no leaking, gurgling, spiting or any other common issues with tanks with it. Flavor and vapor production is freaking GREAT! It is a thirsty little tank though, but I love the damn thing. definitely my favorite tank I have.

I do not own one. BUT.... I tried an entire tank full of banana pudding in one with the tri coils 2 weeks ago however. AMAZING! 100 watts, amazing flavor, gobs of vapor, and easy top fill.

That being said... I have the crown tank and do enjoy its construction and reliability. I vape at 50 watts using the .25 coils and it beats out the atlantis, atlantis 2, triton, herakles, artic and the subtank even with the vertical coils... and I really really love the flavor on the vertical coils at 35 watts.

The TFV4... I thought it was absolutely great but have heard some things about bad O-rings... I have one waiting in the mail at home. Worst case scenario I can use the RTA deck or gift it to a friend. None of my vape gear goes to waste.

Thinking about picking one up, anyone own one and have any insight?
It is a beast of a tank. Sucks down the juice as mentioned above. Flavor is there for me (I have heard otherwise). And, of course, the vapor production is better than any tank I have used so far. I only have the tri coil that came with it and like it between 80 and 90 watts. First factory coil I have had that actually reads what it says (.2). I have been using as my ADV for a week now with no leaking or gurgling. Like the ease of the top fill cap too! Recommend highly.

Anyone know how long a factory coil is supposed to last? Also, anyone try to rebuild one?

I have been using the same quad coil for two weeks now. No detectable drop in flavor or performance. Some did have issues with the glass sticking to the bottom oring, but I havent had that issue.
Good to know, thanks! I'm a little over a week and it is still performing like new. I haven't broken the tank down yet but will watch the o ring.
What I'm really interested in seeing, someone rebuilding the coil head. I should've evaluated the head before installation but so bad wanted to fill and vape the thing. As replacements around $5 aren't bad :)rolleyes:considering how long they last), I love trying to rebuild on things.

I have mine and used the single coil RBA deck, you can buy a dual coil RBA deck as well. I used the 0.2 ohm coil at 110w or so and it was absolutely amazing. However I was going through a 30ml bottle very quick in it. Top fill is very convenient as well. Great flavor and vapor production as well.

Loving it. I would get the quad coils over the tri coils. The quad is really a parallel vert, doesnt get as hot as the tri.

I tried the single rba lots of different ways, can't get it to wick right. Tried rayon too. To little wick=tons of leaks; too much=tons of dry hits.

I am trying to get 50-60 watts from the rba...any insight on your build and what wattage you're running?

Question to you guys. Does it use a lot more juice than a uwell crown? I'm thinking of getting one of the two or a tfv4 mini eventually. Idk yet. I'm assuming it uses a lot more juice cuz it runs at 100w when some people run stuff like stm at like 35 and 40 and doesn't consume as fast (but still fairly fast)

I love my tfv4 when compared to the triton or kanger subtank there is no comparison, it's like comparing a coffee straw to a garden hose and the tfv4's dual coil rba is the greatest, flavor and clouds, i haven't even tried the quad coil yet because the rba works so well

Just got mine today, boy does the triple coil get hot ! - drinks like a fish as others have said, lovely engineering, handsome item, well worth the couple of quid/bucks over an equivalent Kanger (which I have 4 of).

Well worth it, in 4 hours it's become my favourite tank - building on the lovely RDA section tonight - buy one ! :^)

I really like this tank (had it for about two weeks now) but I won't use it every day. This thing goes through juice like crazy. I'll use it on one of those rare days, when I'm binge watching stuff on Netflix or something, but no way could I use this every day. That said, the flavor I get from this is really, REALLY great...
