Uwell Crown Coils?

[SwollenColon]

i picked up the Uwell Crown tank at a vape convention this weekend. The entire tank and 3 coils cost $20. They didn't have any coils at the time so I figured I'd get them later.

I just contacted the company I bought the tank from and they want $24 for 4 coils which seems kinda high to me.

Does anyone know of a supplier with a better price for these?

Thanks!

ecigarettelobby.com has them $16 for 4 with free worldwide shipping and supposedly 10-12 day delivery time to U.S. Sounds like you got a great deal on the tank. Is it as good as all the reviews claim?

 

[Lanarian]

I have the Crown, and imho, It is even better than the reviews.
As far as coils, a site named lemonvape.com sells the packs for $10, I've never dealt with that company, but the prices are good (The Crown itself is $17.50)

Have you tried fitting any other coils in it?

 

[lovemytank]

fyi lemonvape has crazy prices but you need to buy $200 min. I could do $75 if there are others interested??

The RBA head is on the market, but it'slll probably take a couple more weeks for it to start popping unless you buy wholesale -- in which case it will still take a few weeks. And yes, this tank is that good!

Out of stock, just read this, found this.

Ecigarettelobby has wholesale too -- and maybe even a better price.

2 of my 4 tanks came from them (and some coils). I think the coils were 16. It took 3 weeks though. I cracked while waiting and got 2 tanks/coils from Ebay while waiting.

Really?! Mine took exactly 8 days each time I ordered. That sucks, man.

Regarding the coils and how *I* get the most life out of them. A few tips I've learned after having this tank awhile:

• Do NOT get liquid inside of the coils! Do not get overzealous with saturating the coils for a priming. Take your time and just soak the cotton from the outside liquid-feeds or the top of the coil head. If you over-saturate it from the top (of the coil head or even the tank itself and it runs down the center), twist a thin piece of tissue and run it down the middle of the coil and soak up some of the extra liquid. You can check to see if you over-saturated it by dry-pulling and checking for gurgles.
• Refill your tank *before* the liquid gets to or below the "crown". I don't know why that works becasue the fill holes are lower and it should be all good, but it does work wonders for me. My theory is that with vaping and the occasional tilting of the mod, some parts of the liquid-feed are not getting fed well enough during a pull. Dunno exactly though.
• When using the top-fill to refill (which I imagine EVERYONE does), try and stop your fill just shy of the of fill-slots. If you fill it too high and are touching the fill-slots, or even worse, above the slots, you'll get hella spit-back and it'll mess up the vape
• If you empty out a tank and even immediately refill it, do not vape it right away. Wait a minute or two and if you are using a regulated device, back it off the wattage for a *few* pulls (as low as 1/3 lower) before cranking it back up. But only for a few pulls is what I've found necessary if in a rush (but I prefer to take my time with it).
• If you use a regulated device and you start to get wonky hits (those hits where the coils sizzles after you hit it and tastes kinda burnt, back it off the wattage by about 1/3 and vape your way back up over the course of maybe half a tank). If the coil is *not* truly spent -- and you know it shouldn't be -- it will get its performance back.
• If your coil starts acting wonky, do not try and power your way through that. Essentially "re-prime it," but without the soaking of the cotton part.
• Breaking-in the coils is best at low wattages (of course), using short, hard-ish pulls. Do not take long drags even at lower wattages. These coils are great because with a little care, you can break them in successfully in about 5-10 minutes (or just about a 1/5 of a tank!!). Even with the .25Ω heads, I might begin at 25 watts and creep up 3-5 watts with about 3-5 quick pulls at each range until I get to my desired power. Though sometimes I really take my time breaking-in Crown heads because the vape is never actually nasty tasting (like a few other tanks).
• My biggest tip for getting extraordinarily good life out for the coils is, if you have a hard hitting mechanical mod (*not* a hybrid-style), use your Crown on that! I have a fantastic mechanical mod and my coils last 2x as long (at least). I think becasue the power being delivered to it backs off ever so slightly with each successive pull, it doesn't stress the coils out. Since my mech is so efficient (JKuro Mod), I barely notice any difference in vape (aside from the life of the coils) as I do vaping it at a mid-high range on a regulated device (~70 watts). If you like to blast the coils with 85+ watts, this won't work for you so much.
• If using a mech, I'd suggest breaking-in the coils when your battery is low.

p.s. If you disagree with anything I've said, we can agree to disagree. These tips I've learned are what have worked for me, saved me money and provided me with a much longer life of one coil. Hopefully this helps someone out there. Vape on. Vape well.

I have to agree Mr Mann, everyone seems to drip juice, me included, from the top until the cotton is soaked all the way down to the juice holes, I have had more coils flood this way then anything else. I don't prime my coils like this any more and it works so much better, you just need a little more time to avoid dry hits.. Really works well

 

[MrNobody]

After seeing the amazing reviews on this tank went ahead an ordered one from eciglobby as well as some nickel and .25ohm coils. Really looking forward to getting it.

 

[inspects]

I've had the Crown for about a week, definitely the best sub-ohm clearo I ever purchased hands down.

Bought mine at VapeRider....extra coils too.

 

[sd3614]

I agree on the dry pull, paper towel method (good tip). Also I'm starting to believe you really need max max max vg on this tank for the smoothest non spit draw. Also to be right at the 80 to 90 watt range. Just opinion.

+10

OMG. You are so right and I *meant* to add that to the list! Even 70 VG can be too thin and flood the coils if taking too many successive hits.

And... some "max VG's" can be 70 because (especially dessert vapes)....

On the plus side.... it will bring out the flavor like chestnuts roasting on an open fire.

 

[Smokin' Iron]

Really getting into my Crown. Max VG juice at 55 watts with a .5 coil.

 

[inspects]

Been using the same coil for a week, still as tasty as the first day....unbelievable....!

Might not be the right thread but I dropped my crown twice today on cement from five feet. My babe tumbled over end and only scratched the stainless. Tank still works and is intact, minus the severe scraping on the stainless. Being the air ring and top fill base are lager diameter than the tank, it acts as protective bumpers for the quartz tank. Amazing, my sig 150w got really beat up yet all is working just fine. My bad but I am really impressed!!
