Thanks I got used to higher wattage but don't mind going lower. And how is the nicotine delivery?
Thank that helps. Did answer my questions but looking for more from people with long term use. And I have a v12 that leaks a lot. For some reason.
I have both as well. The Crown 3 is far superior IMO. Its a great tank that gives really good flavor. The coils last a long time. The only con is it gets really hot if you chain vape it.I haven't any cons that I can think of at the moment, but as an avid vapor, I can give you my 2 cents.
I've been using the SMOK TFV8-X with the top air flow for about 1 month now and it most certainly is a really excellent tank that pulls really nice, but in my opinion, Crown 3 beats it all around. I just received my Crown 3 in the mail and had to compare it to my TFV8-X immediately, here's the results........
Closing the air flow just over 1/4 on the Crown 3, (leaving air flow slots less than 3/4 open), equals getting about the same air flow as my Smok TFV8-X with the air flow wide open - and wide open slots on the C3 is really, really smooth, clean and quick! So better air flow on the C3 than the X-8.
I have the same juice in both (fresh) tanks right now and the flavor in the Crown 3 is not drastically superior, but it is definitely noticeably superior. I don't notice any difference in cloud production, they both fog the place up like crazy which cracks me up sometimes (I'm easily amused).
Right now, I have only tried the .25 ohm coil that came already installed in the C3 and I'm vaping it at 98 watts. In the 8-X, I use the .5 ohm, Q-2 coil and vape that at about 63 watts. When you find your sweet spot, both work extremely well.
The C3 is a whole lot easier to fill with Ejuice than the TFV8-X, that's for sure. As a DIYer who can plow through 30mls a day, most of l my juices are in 8 or 16 ounce bottles with a tip too big for the X-8, but works just fine with the C3. No more juice spitting out while filling, even though the tanks not even 1/4 full yet like the X-8. Gotta like that!
I've only had the C3 tank a couple of hours, but out of the box, in my opinion, it handily beats the X-8. They did a great job on this tank!
Ok, 14 days (4180 puffs on the counter) on the Crown 3 using only the .25 ohm coil, vaping almost exclusively between 90 -100 watts and this thing is awesome.
About once or twice a day I bump it up to 130 watts for a while, maybe 10 - 15 puffs or so for a nice flavor boost, using juices ranging from 70 vg /30 pg to max VG that I mix myself at 3mgs nicotine. Mostly I vape sweet strawberry mixes, but also plenty of custards and probably about 6 or 8 tanks of nice, smooth, max VG caramel cappuccino - and this tank just keeps shining. I have not noticed any loss of flavor or vapor - and so far I've had zero, I mean zero leakage, I did have slight gurgle and popping once a few days ago, but that's it. At this rate, I can see this first coil lasting a month or so - I want to try the .50 ohm in it but the one in it just won't die ha ha.
Yep, I'm with Just Frank - this tank is way better than my SMOK, which will remain on the bench.
Ya i understand. But this has been my issue for the last few months with different tanks too. (Isubv and cubis pro) coils only lasting a few days at the most.Ya, who knows if it's a bad coil or something, that happens, at least it has with the three different tanks I've had. Pop it out and see if it's black in the coil, maybe stick a q-tip in there see if it comes out black, that's what I do - if it's black, I just toss it and replace with a new one.
I finally changed my original coil, now I'm on the .5 ohm and don't really notice any difference.
I agree with everything you said about the Crown lll- this tank gets very hot! Too hot for me to enjoy and I vaped this tank under 50w!I had the Crown III and I ended up trading it because I don't vape at high wattage. I really liked how long the coils seemed to last but I use RTA's or tanks with RBA's almost exclusively so I gave it up. I also did not like how hot the tank got but I know that vaping at high wattage that it can be expected. I think that overall it's a good tank for what it does.
Maybe not priming correctly , try some down into the center cotton of the coil and on the outside cotton holes and let stand for at least 15 minutes and turn your wattage down to about 15w- 20w and work your way up slowly to break in the coil and not burn the cotton. Coils last for weeks for me, but I also run this tank under 50w.I just got this tank and my cool is already tasting a little burnt... i use nude ejuice which is 70/30 and i hit it a lot. But its barely been 2 days. I dont know what i am doing wrong.
the issue with me is those are only kanthal? I want to use temp control. if you want a really cool vape as in temp I mean you cannot use watts. those tanks have ss coils or something I do not know of? I would be very happy. crown is good like 3 months that will literally pour out on you. you only get one extra set of o rings. I like flavor too. I do not want big production because of monitored fire alarms. false alarm costs $1,000 each!
I prefer the Crown3 .5 coil over the .25. Both can make the tank quite hot on a chain but much less so with the .5. However, many mods don't quite have the output voltage to fully power it and it can languish so if in doubt, use the .25.I have one and I will say I love the design of the tank. Its very easy to work with and looks great. I'm a new vapor and have been having a hard time getting good flavor out of my tanks. I have an Arco 2 and Baby beast as well. I can tell you that so far the .5 coils seem to be crap. I have only used one .25 but I would say it was better than the .5 for flavor and cloud. Also in general the tank overall is not a cloud tank.

In 8 Month's I have used 6 coils in the C3. The taste is great until I change one and it will blow clouds if you want. Sorry I got the Valyrian now sitting in a drawer. This is solid too all metal and glass plus no hinge to break. It only leaks if you do not screw it together right. Easy to crossthread until you break it in. Then smooth threads. Makes me wonder why I would use an RTA now. It is cheap by now too with all the new tanks. I highly recommend it! Also, I have dropped it many times and glass did not break because the metal caps overhang the glass. Uwell got it right this time, not before and looks like not in the future. So long as you can get coils I see no reason to go to something else. They went from coils last a day to coils last 1-1/2 months(C3) and now back to coils last a day lol. I hate Kanthal and only use Temp. Nickel may be bad for you but they use SS this hot in surgery! I think this thing rocks and as long as coils exist I am not being stupid looking for tanks that suck. Put this on a VooPoo and $60 you have one of the best setups you can buy IMO. Never a dry hit in Temp of course too.
I'm wondering if you don't DIY what juice you like in the C3 or just overall. I ask partly because I have a really hard time finding juice that I can taste well and also because I really want to like this tank. I can't fully blame this or any tank when a big part of the issue is the juice itself.The C3 definitely is the best tank you can get. I've tried so many different tanks and nothing compares to the C3 in terms of flavour. I use 0.5 coils and usually get about 2 weeks out of them and I vape a lot but for someone who doesn't vape as much as I do I wouldn't be surprised if they get a whole month out of them. I've dropped it too and the glass didn't break either. I'll have to disagree with your best setup because I've found the best setup to be the C3 with the Asmodus Minikin 2 (the regular version, not the special edition). I've tried it on other mods but nothing compares to using these two together.

Sure I'm always open to suggstions.I'll start off with the juices that I won't even go near. I hate fruity juices and custards. The juices that I've found not to work well in the C3 are fruity juices and menthols. I say this because the fruity ones are too sweet and with the C3 I feel like the sweetness is overpowering but in other tanks it's not so strong. Menthols don't work well because even when the juice is done and you've put something else in it, it still seems like you're vaping menthol. That cold inhale doesn't go away until you've changed the juice many many times. It doesn't even help if you clean out the tank because all that menthol is still soaked up in the cotton. It's just a pain in the ass.
I personally like dessert flavours (but not too sweet), cereal flavours (but I'm very picky with this one), and milky juices (I've only ever found 2 that I like).
I feel like those types of juices are amazing in the C3.
I don't know if you like those types of flavours but if you do I can give you some suggestions on juices to try.
Sure I'm always open to suggstions.
Thanks for that list I'm going to review it when I get home. A quick thought though have you tried "The One"? It' been hit or miss for me. I got some Mr. meringue last night a new one for me. I tried that and "B" by stumps in the C3 with the .25 I do taste them both but nothing to impressive. I need to pick up some .5's someone in this thread was saying some mods can' properly power It? Seems odd I thought it was 70-80 watt vs 80-90 on the .25
