I have the Crown and love it..My brother just got the Smok tfv4 and says it's better...just watched a Rip Trippers video on the Smok and he says o-rings are trash... My local shop has the Smok in stock for $36...replacement triple coils are $7 ea...I know Iprobly could get it cheaper online but my question to you guys is it really that much better than the Crown..

I have the Crown and love it but have a TFV4 on the way. I had a chance to use the TVF4 at a local BM that was using it to sample a flavor of juice and it worked just fine, seamed to be about the same as the Crown.

Really I think there more similar than different from what I have experienced, the proof will be when I get my TVF4 to compare directly with the same juice and if there is a major difference I will post here. If you don't hear back then there was not enough difference to comment.

I wouldn't put much weight into what Rip has to say, he is the same guy who bashed the Arctic saying the coils taste like booty. Maybe he just had some remnants in his beard as the Arctic went on to be one of the most popular Sub Tanks and I still use mine today along with the OBS and Crown.

I don't have a Crown, but I will put my hat in for the TFV4, loving it. The RBA decks are so easy to use. As someone who was toying with rebuilding Atlantis coils god, RBA's are great, and that gigantic deck is just beautiful and easy. I initially had some problems as I was trying to prevent the leaking issues I had read about and packed the cotton a bit too tight, meaning burnt cotton... yuck. But, after a couple tries and reading/watching some videos I've gotten it figured out. From what I'm reading crown has a smaller RBA deck, and smaller = tougher, or at least if you don't have nimble little fingers, which I don't (yay shaky giant hands). Top fill is great. No matter what tank I've used when I take it off to refill I'll end up with some juice on my fingers, not a huge deal but a bit annoying, not so with the top fill I can just keep it topped off and all's good till I need to replace the wick/change the coil.

Anyways, I'd give a 10/10 but I feel that's kinda silly to do not having had a wide range of alternatives, but lets just say I'm very happy with everything about it. Got some max VG in the Dual RBA right now and I'm going to go back to vaping my desert.

Have you compared yet? Curious to hear your results. LOVE the crown but always looking at more. Lately been liking the Billow v2 a lot, it's a RTA (rebuildable, no purchasable atomizers)

I ordered mine from Gearbest, delivery slow so I am hoping that it arrives before the New Year. Last time I order from them, I chose the US option but it was still sent via netherlands post from China I am assuming. Gearbest makes fasttech look like next day air, I wish vapor joe would stop pimping them. It was shipped out on 10-12 so 16 days already, pitiful.

My buddy got his TVF4 Mini yesterday and the last I heard from him he said he is not impressed. He also has a Atlantis V2, OBS T-VCT and Kanger sub ohm tanks, not sure which is his favorite but he uses the OBS a lot for his long 2 hours commutes to work because the 6mil tank will last him roundtrip. He said the flavor is good on the mini if he closes the air flow to a small hole but if he runs it wide open the flavor is not as good.

I will post once I have received it, at least I hope I receive it. I will make sure and put 2 or 3 tanks through first though to break in the coil then compare with the same juice in both the Crown and TVF4.

Lol I got lucky the time I ordered from them and it was in USA.

OK, thanks for the update. Don't know WHY I keep looking, I love the crown. I guess it's a bit bulky but that's not a big deal, the flavor's great, the coils last forever, I have 5 crowns...

Just a vape addict I guess :)
