Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am wanting the black crown tank, and all searches end up in a dead end. Out of stock, SS version only, much higher price than I know I can get, have tank but no heads or the head prices are ridiculous, RBA seems hard to find anywhere. Would just like to find descent price for the tank, heads, and RBA in one place so shipping doesn't eat me alive. I know Im asking for a lot, but thought it was worth a try. Thank You.

Vape royalty is where I got mine. Great place to deal with.
Yeah, that was one of the first places I went. Really good price on replacement heads. But they are out of stock on the tank. Signed up for the email notification, but I tend to be an impatient person. Wanted to get it before I have to spend my money on something silly like bills or such. Maybe they'll come in this week. Thanks.

I don't know if anybody would be interested, but I rebuild Uwell Crown Tank and TFV4 non-rebuildable coil heads. For that, I had to make a special coil jig:

This build is of 26 gauge TEMCo Ni200, 0.16Ω

AMD, that is a very awesome build.

I am interested in that coiling rod with threads, is it customize by yourself?

Yes, I made it myself from a titanium rod that I had laying around. Stainless steel would have worked, just as well. I'm Russian, that's why I use Metric and all measurements are in millimeters, except tread pitch 24 TPI (Threads Per Inch) is in American standards, because I have an American made lathe.

Very nice AMDTrucking. I borrowed your idea and took a 1/4 x 20 bolt and turned down the threads about 10mm from bottom then again at about 22mm up from bottom. Only possible problem I may come up to is I'm limited to 7 - 8 wraps with the 20 tpi but the first Ni200 coil I've built with it is coming in at .19Ω so I'm ok with that. It doesn't look as nice as yours but is certainly a better jig than the drill bit I was using previously. :thumbs:

I just got my Black Crown tank in a few days ago, ordered it from 3fvape.com (china) which took 10 days to get from China to Tacoma, Wa. Plus 4 days or so to be shipped.

23.99 for the tank.
9.99 for the RBA.
.99 for a Translucent Black Glass for looks, If I can get the old one off, its on TIGHT!
Shipping was free.

One note however, if you are at ALL ocd with checking the tracking (like I was) or impatient with time consider a non china source!

My experience was as follows:

Ordered the night of Nov 16th

Pretty much all dates after the "SHENZHEN EMS, CHINA" entry from 21-25 were posted at once on the 25th, then it sat in customs till the 29th. First big tank, still trying to figure it out :p

I also ordered a Wismec Pressa TC 75W at the same time (16th) from a China company that has a ware house in California, it arrived on the 23rd. This was 39.99. I LOVE THIS MOD, I feel like Thufir Hawat milking a cat firing it. Mainly using an Aspire K1 on it for now. I can vape over a week with it at 4.2v / 10.4w using the Sony VTC5 2600MAH 30A Batteries I ordered from Eciggity, 2 of them were 21.98, they got here the 20th. yes overkill but I got them with the Crown tank in mind.

Also please note I had to use paypal for all except Eciggity to pay as my credit unions visa would not let paymets go through to any websites in china. Not really a problem as the card did let me pay paypal which in turn payed china :p
