So I bought the TFV4 Mini and here's some feedback!
With the TFV4, I primed and filled, and the thing leaked all over the place... I had to completely dump it out and clean the inside of the base. Not a good start at all.
After the tank then spit so much that I nearly barfed from swallowing so much juice, it finally stopped spitting *so* much. But the spitting persisted and has continued through the entire week with my 80/20 juices. This is a problem as I get very nauseas after swallowing any nicotine at all, cramps and everything. It's not right.
Flavor wise, I've had no real problems. The vapor is pretty darn unreal, though with the Clapton coil that I started with (and am still on) the vapor went from ungodly to cut down a little after about 4 days - I'm thinking maybe some of the cotton has burned away from parts of the coil? By now, it's a little easier to get a dry hit and I can't really go above 77w without it tasting a little eh.
Trying out a Max VG juice cut down the bad spitting and moist lips almost completely (but not always). This is a sad trait as I moved away from the Subtank Nano only for this reason... I HATE any amount of spitting!
The top fill is also so much more trouble than you expect. The top swivel is so hard to open and close (so much so that I broke my real nail plum off!) and because I use Black Axis's juices with unscrew nipple tops, it's HARD to get the juice to go down the top hole - sometimes the VG juices clog up in it from the hole being so small and then it'll run all over the place and won't go down.
On top of that, when you close the swivel top, juice runs EVERYWHERE through the seams. This tank is a complete mess every 5 seconds and is so poorly designed. The tank also gets scalding hot, no kidding, despite garden hose airflow!
However, for what it's worth, I've had NO problems with leaking since the fill up, NO problems with melting o-rings, and NO real problems with flavor. Flavor is honestly a little flat actually compared to the Kanger Subtanks - and thats actually pretty bad. NO real problems with dry hits or anything like that, no rubbery flavor or anything.
Just, you can't chain this tank exactly like you can the new Kanger clapton/SS coils. The 3rd chain hits gonna be a little iffy.
The airflow in the drip tip indeed cuts back on flavor severely (otherwise I'd like it!) and it does cause a lot of spitting for some reason. I also found that the airholes on the base a little less than halfway closed also cuts back best on spitting and gives me the most comfortable draw.
The drip tip is a little huge, no lie. Pictures do not prepare you for this tank at all. I've had facial reconstruction surgery after a wreck and having to open my mouth so extremely wide and all that indeed is a little uncomfortable. The drip tip could be a little smaller by far, as half of the size doesn't even come in use.
I have yet to test out the triple coil and RBA but I'm hoping they are a little better. As of right now, I personally can't complain *too much* as I got this tank dirt cheap, but in my opinion you're wasting your money if you spend any more than $20 on it, I think folks would be better off trying a Herakles Plus (haven't tried that one though.)
So far, my opinion is very meh!
