I have the Crown tank and its awesome! However, I'm a little worried at how much juice it's been eating up. Would something like the Herakles Plus be just as awesome, but be a little more cost friendly?

Good subtanks that use less Juice than the Crown

Just wanted to point out that in the process of coming outside to vape and writing this I went through 2.5mL.

I've never used the crown but I do have the plus and even though I love it, it is a hungry sucker. I doubt it would save you anything. My Kanger nano on the other hand is a lot easier on juice and I like it almost as much as the plus (rating nano at 7.5 and plus at 10) now that I put the ssocc .5 coil in it.

Just curious... What wattage are you vaping at?

195 Celsius at 75 watts on a Ni200 .15 coil.
I mean the clouds are obnoxious, and the flavor is amazing, but I've been thinking about heading back to the ISub Apex to save juice and only using the Crown occasionally. I like the flavor just as much on that one, and I can go almost a whole day on one tank vaping at the same levels. Best thing? It holds just under 3 ml, a ml less than the Crown, but produces respectable clouds and great taste all day.

I'm running a .4 ohm at 55 watts in my plus and I could probably go through it's 3.5 tank in an hour of casual vaping, probably half that if chain vaping.

The Herakles Plus is on par with the Crown in terms of juice consumption. Maybe try a Kanger Subtank.

More power = bigger cloud = more liquid consumption. If you can find something that's a bit less of a fog machine than the Crown that still satisfies you at lower watts, you'll be able to conserve juice. Mrs. Dave was a big Subtank fan (until I bought her a Crown), if you can get down with that or an iSub 10-20 watts lower you'll be able to conserve.
Alternatively, ever thought about DIY? I kicked myself when I learned how easy it was, and at less than 10 cents/ml I could care less if I'm burning through 15 ml/day, it's still way cheaper than 3/4 to 1 pack of smokes...

Actually, I have thought about DIY juices. I just don't really have time time. I work full time and I'm in school. There's a shop in CO that sells their 30ml houses for 3.99. They make awesome liquids, and have a massive variety. I suppose I should count myself lucky that I can spend $4 for 3-5 days of vaping v.s. 3 packs/$17/18 for smokes.
Clowdz cost cash. My local B&M store has started selling much more 12-18mg juice since people are starting to use less subtanks due to the cost of juice and going back to things like the Nautilus. 6 months ago they always ran out of 3mg juice now they run out of 12mg. I think that will continue, it's easy to blow through 30ml of juice in a clowdzy tank and people don't want to spend that much cash, quite rightly when you can get good flavour from a +Ω setup and as a bonus still see the TV.
So I'm guessing a Nautilus, ELeaf GS, or Innokin T18 would require 12 nic not 6, for someone presently using 3 nic in a Crown, Herakles of any vintage, or TFV4? I still mostly see 6 nic and less in our local shops.
Also, I wonder if there are some other deals on premium juice...... One Hit Wonder comes to mind, about $8 per 30 ml, sold in 180 ml bottle.
alt + zHey where's that cool lil' ohmy signy thing on the keyboard?
It's Alt 2-3-4 for Windows = Ω
That's an amazing deal, I wish we had prices like that. I'm in Canada (Toronto), and at most of our B&Ms the house juices are like $7-8 for 15ml, and $8-$15 for 30ml. We pay $25-$35 for the "Premium" juices. We do have a few shops that custom mix in-house, and have relatively cheap juices (100ml for $35 or something like that, custom nicced and flavor shots if you want), but still not as good as yours, you are indeed a lucky man!
Alt 234 works for me on win 10 good to know.
Hold alt 234 down at the same time when you let got the Ω pops up.
On windows think you hold ALT then do 2 then 3 then 4 quickly
║▲Ω♪Ωτ↨ ☻'§ ≡ 1Dÿ♦ That's a drag when I hold ALT and hold any 3 numbers and release all 4 keys I get all kinds of cute thingies popping up.
:/↓↑ and so on. I love learning new things. Thank you DED420

Back on topic I have a Freemax Starre Pro and it sucks juice like a dehydrated camel. I agree the Subtanks not as bad and still gives a decent cloud and flavor.
Hold the ALT key the whole time, then hit the 2 key, then the 3, then the 4, and then let go of ALT (don't hold down any key other than ALT, the 234 are just regular key strokes)
Try some budget friendly juice companies. 20 bucks for 120 mil is the norm...

DED - I'm also a Toronto boy. You can get a few 10 dollar for 30 ml juices here. And remember our ten dollars is a US 7 dollars. And believe me in the States they cannot get 100 mills of twelve monkeys for 55 Can. And that is a premium juice. Thee are at least five good juice makers I know of in Toronto - premium juices.
My car uses less juice than my crown, but I love it, now I make my own juice so it can drink as much as it likes, not smoked now for nearly two yrs, I'm healthier, feel as fit as I was at 20, my taste buds are back to normal, so diy juice is the is the way to go, for the time it takes to make and a little financial outlay you won't look back, so you'll be able to stick to your crown and enjoy flavour and clouds without worrying how much liquid you have left.
Quick shoutout to the specific store in CO I mentioned, since there was some talk about their crazy good prices. If you're in Colorado check it out. They're called Ecig of Denver.
I recommend the Strawnana and Banana Foster.
