I haven't used any of the RBAs, in my original Crown i prefer the .5 ohm coils, and when they work, prefer the same in the Crown 2. I prime the coils, usually let it sit for at least 30 min, usually longer before even starting to vape, and I start around 20 watts and slowly work up from there. With the .5s around 50-55 watts seemed to be my ideal range, on both Crown 1 & 2. With the Crown 2, its great for about a day (if that), and then it's just dry nasty hits from there. I've also taken a pin and poked the cotton through the juice holes. That will help for about 30 min, and then it's back to totally inconsistent performance with a lot of dry nasty hits. I've tried about 4 different coils for the Crown 2 and all have been the exact same way. Curious to try the Rafale coils in it though. I'd be totally happy sticking with the original Crown tank for a while if it only didn't have the issues with the whole tank coming apart when trying to unscrew the top cap. The Crown 2 design definitely fixed that with that locking mechanism, and I prefer the look and design of the Crown 2, I just wish I could get the same performance and flavor out of it as the original Crown.

The first .25 coil that came with the Crown v2 performed great, but all of the coils I've put in it since suck. The TFV8 has been a real winner since day 1. The RBA for the TFV8 is the best RBA for a sub ohm tank IMO.
I am at a loss as to why the Crown II coils start drying out after a day , have not had that happen . I had a tank that did that in the past , very annoying . I don't even bother with that one because i know what you mean.
Have not tried the Rafale coils so i don't know how they are , the Crown II does use the Rafale RBA though. E cig.com had the Rafale RBA for $5.00 so i bought two .
Did any of the factory heads have neon green colored O rings on the actual head ? Looks like a lime green to me but i am mostly colorblind.
Have you tried holding the glass tank still while taking the cap off?
I have been having that same issue , but what you say to do helps . Two thin rubber jar opener grippers works the best for me.
I've Oddly enough never had the unscrewing the crown 1 problem, I think it's because I grab the tank to unscrew the top as opposed to the tank maybe?
I've been using my crown one with the month+ old coil that still tastes better than the crown 2 sadly.

The original factory heads (the V1 coils) had one yellow and one black oring, and newest version of the coils have 2 yellow orings.
I've tried using rubber gloves to get the original Crown apart, that does help sometimes.
What's strange is I never had this issue with my original Crown until the past month or so, and I've had it for probably 5 or so months. Seems like once the threads got worn in a bit or something it started having that issue

So.... I've found out something maybe others knew but...
Unscrew your cap slightly (edit: from the fully closed position about 1/4 turn). Fixed my dry hits I was getting even with the dual yellow band coils...
Maybe the juice compartment seals TOO well.

thanks for the signature lol... i haven't a clue what happened to my original one like this that was setup at some point... realizing how long you've been vaping for the first time in many years... wow.
Lol - yeah, it has definitely been a little while. things are A LOT different now than they were then. It's amazing how far all of the products and juices and everything have come. Sooooo much better now than 5 year ago! lol
