Anyone have both the black and SS and have problems unscrewing the top fill on the black one more than the SS? Been a pain in the .... for me, just curious if others are noticing the same.

I have both and find the reverse. My black Crown's top seems to screw on and off easier than the silver one.
Finally got one of these bad boys. I have to say I'm loving it. I've been dripper exclusive for awhile now but I wanted something I could just fill and forget about. This is definitely a winner. I'm using the pre-installed .25 SS coil and I've only gone as high as 60W and the flavor and vapor is great. The only con is that it guzzles juice but I knew that going in. It's also kind of an adjustment for me as I'm used to smaller drippers and this tank is fairly big comparatively. Have the black version on my black RX200. Looks nice.
I just got in the TVF4 mini in Black, Should have learned my lesson from the original TVF4, but it I got it super cheap $16 for the kit, I am running the clapton coil in it now. It is not bad beside the initial leaking I got. But I have to say there are a lot of people out there that think this is the end all be all. its not. To me the Crown still is the winner for taste. Just for the price differece of the coils alone are enough to keep me on the Crown, yes I have all of the rebuildable coils for both, just to lazy to find a good build.
Well guys, I'm on week 2 with the original .25 SS coil. And i have gone through a metric ton of juice and the coil is still doing great. Wicking is working great and flavor is still on point.
I recently began running in SS temp control mode at 460 deg and has been a perfect vape.
I also have another black crown on order and should be here Saturday.

I find the coil that is in my first Crown has lasted pretty damned well. About a week and I have been blasting thru the high VG/sugar OHW Milk Man at 70w. Likely 30-35ml of juice and the coil is still fine.
I am also using the RBA with the preinstalled coil @ 40w on my 2nd Crown and it hasn't needed a rewick yet (after a few days).
I do find that a Crown with the RBA has the potential to leak a lot more often than one with the premade coil IME.
Great tanks though.
I'm trying to figure out why this tank is so popular. Sure the design is great and it chucks vapor but it tastes like burning machine oil. I tried the 3 coils that came with it and 2 more from a 4 pack I bought with tank. All taste like .... After about a full tank the bad taste starts to disappear but then it is flavorless vapor. IMO the coils for this tank are complete junk.
A couple days ago, someone suggested poking small needle holes in each of the 4 wicking holes, and 4 though the cotton inside the top of the coil. That has helped with the wicking issues to a noticeable extent so far...... Still, it seems like a very nice tank in search of new and improved coils, like SMOK Tech has done with the TFV4. Though SMOK Tech has been making vaping equipment for several years now.
I'm not getting any wicking issues. I took apart a couple of the coils to see if they were burning and I'm not seeing any burnt cotton. I have been in many machine shops and what I taste is machine oil. It's as if they didn't clean the atty's and wire before assembling them. I like the tank design so I will order the rba for it and use my own builds in it.
Where did you get it? Is it authentic or a clone from FT? I've got 5 of these and never had any oil taste from any of them. If it is authentic, are you priming your coils like in the video and slowly ramping up your wattage as recommended? I didn't like the lengthy procedure so I just fill the tank & let it soak into the coil overnight before using it then slowly ramp up wattage to my preferred setting. New coils are muted flavor at first but after a tank or so really start to come into their own flavor wise in my experience.
I got it from my local vape shop that doesn't sell a single clone of anything. The code on the card also confirmed it is authentic. Now with that out of the way a simple google search confirms I'm not alone. The description of bad taste is anywhere from burning oil to burning rubber. This is a common issue that if had I known before hand I would have never purchased the tank. I am not new to this vaping thing, been at it since 2010 and started using rba's in 2012. My own coils that I make for several different setups are muted for a few mils before they come alive. This isn't my problem. These coils taste like ... for a full tank before they reach the muted flavor part.
My only issue with the tank is that I can't even come close to the upper watts limit of the coil. The highest I was able to take the stock .25 SS coil was 65W. Anything higher results in a burnt taste at the end. I'm using the stock coil at 57W and getting excellent performance. I don't really need to vape it any higher which is why it's not really that much of an issue for me. I guess I just don't understand how people are vaping this coil at or over 100W. I've only used a 30PG/70VG juice which I thought should wick fine. *shrug*
Respectfully and yes I understand that we are all experienced vapors so please don't flame me. I'm also very very very old.
You properly cleaned the Crown before use?
You properly primed the coil before use?
You slowly ramped up the power?
If you let it sit overnight you should be good to go after a very short time. Even the power ramp up should not take more than a say a dozen pulls?
OK. We all do this I think and hope?
What's left? The watts/power you are using? Maybe their is a correlation of some sort between high watts and bad taste? Or, it's a batch of bad heads? Personally, I have 4 Crowns and never vape above 30 Watts (0.50 head) with 50/50 and the flavor is great and the life of the head is also great. I run in power mode and do not use TC/TP. That's just my experience.

You may want to show this to your shop owner you got it from. I know that there were some bad batches of coils the manufacturer has admitted producing and has offered replacements to anyone receiving them at the shipping cost only. A few have taken advantage a few pages back and one or two were grumbling about the shipping cost. Your shop owner may be able to get these swapped by his supplier without cost to you.
Those who had received these coils can hopefully chime in here to provide you info on what exactly was bad with these MFG defect batches and shipping costs for replacements. Hope it works out for you!

Yes I clean all of my tanks with alcohol before use. The issue isn't the tank. Each new coil has the same funk and it is clear when you change them out as the new coils are way worse than those that had a tank through them. As for priming I tried just soaking them enough to wet, soak overnight all the way to dripping juice out they are so saturated. No need to slowly ramp power up when they have juice dripping out of them. I took two of them apart to make sure it wasn't a wicking issue, no burnt cotton at all. 50 watts isn't pushing these but I have had them as low as 30 with same terrible taste.
Here is a reddit thread that has numerous others who openly admit it takes several tanks before the funk is cleared out of the atty. Some may not see this as an issue but having to vape through 2 or 3 tanks before you get through this horrid taste isn't acceptable.
Purchased a Uwell Crown - Horrible taste? • /r/electronic_cigarette
Thanks for the reddit link. Yea, that stinks and definitely an issue. Wish I had a solution for you. /sigh
That's unfortunate that you are having issues
My second crown showed up yesterday and I primed the coil, cleaned the tank with dish soap, threw the mod in SS temp control at 400℉ for break in and went on my way and put 5 tanks of juice through it alone yesterday with no issues. There was about a 1ml break in and it was good.
Between my buddies they own a total of about 6 crowns and none have had issues and my two crowns also with no issues
