Tank shopping and E-juice questions

Hello,

I'm shopping for a tank to replace my tfv12 prince running on a Smok Mag. I've been using smok mesh coils recently and i'm happy with them except they're lasting me 5 days max. I stay within the recommended wattage (50 w is my go-to) but i vape more than 3 tanks a day.

1- I'm considering either the Falcon tank with the M2 coils or the Mesh Pro with dual mesh coils. I know both give superb flavor but which one has longer lasting coils?

2- My ADV no matter what i switch to during the day is Pachamama Fuji Apple. I always seem to come back to it, mainly because it's not too sweet and tastes pretty organic to me. I tried that Peach Coconut but i don't like it as much. Is there any fruity e-juice you recommend that is in the same ballpark as Pacha's fuji in terms of tamed sweetness and natural flavor?

Thank You!

Mesh pro is great but still not sure how long the coils last. Still in my first coil for a week now

Welcome to VU. Have you considered an RBA deck for that tank? They work well and IMO make that tank better.

I considered it yes but 4 puffs per wicking seemed like a tiring routine to do with each vaping session? I stand corrected. But honestly, with all the short living coils I’m spending money on, this might be a solution....

Thank you for the welcome:)

Welcome

Like jwill pointed out you can get an rba deck for that tank , and its a great way to dip your toes into rta ,rda and rdta's.
Check a few videos on youtube if you are new to building.
Its way more satisfying to build your own

Once you learn how to wick it, it just becomes weekly maintenance. Im not familiar with that liquid you are using but I can push a couple of weeks worth of really dirty juice through a prince RBA. It comes out looking like a BBQ pit after 2 years of smoking meats but it works.

I use that fuji apple too , and my uwell crown 3 is still going strong.
I got 2 tfv12 prince tanks and i have the same experience...smok mesh coils just dont last
M4 coils lasted many times longer , but now i am waiting for rba to tfv12 prince and tfv8 baby x.

The M4 coils do last longer but i had occasional leaking issues with them and i don't like the way they hit. Smoothest Smok coils i tried so far were the mesh, but i'm honestly getting tired of buying coils, went through 8 different coils in less than a month (Q4s, T10, M4s and now currently using my pack of mesh).

I have to say that after i primed my second Smok mesh coil correctly before filling the tank, this one is lasting me longer than the previous one. The first one i put i didn't prime it, i just filled the tank and let it sit for 30 minutes before using.

My average on falcon coils was around 2 weeks before flavor drop off. For the mesh pro triple coils it was about 7-10 days and double coils around that as well. Really depends though on usage. I’m notorious for have 4-5 set ups going at a time with different flavors. I would venture to say though I was doing 2-3 tanks per day on them.

Love both mesh pros I've gotten.

It looks nice..... I've gone through all the smoke stuff..... It's a shame because they have good materials and good tanks..... But after sliding top failure and leaks and no customer support, and coils and coils.....

It's all gone.... From TF v8 and V12 and more and more I realized everything I tried had problems...... So you saw my video that's stuff that I use because I have tested a lot of crap...

For example I used a Triade and loved it.... nice size.... DNA 250 after 2 weeks the 510 became loose after another week the paint started peeling after 3 months the chip started giving me problems and messed up readings.....

I got pissed took the batteries out and right in the trash ... 3 months of use $200 bucks in the trash.......

I'm not a Smok user......I used to love them 4 years ago.....

That RDA might not be your style Manny. In fact it seems you prefer rTa's and really big ones. That piece is awesome for flavor and chucks some decent clouds too though.
You could also teach a mildly precocious chimpanzee to build on it. Super easy. I thought the OP might like it as he's just starting out. (Not that he's a chimpanzee haha)

EDIT: OH for Pete's sake. I posted in the wrong thread again. Sorry folks. This comment was about the Bonza to the guy in the other thread.

I don't mind building small but when I got my Smok deck I was like what the hell type of coil fits in this.... Dang ...

I tried building and building and fighting burn hit after hit.......

I understand you have to do what you have to do...... Try it you might have smaller fingers than me ...ha ha.....

It's a way to stop buying coils.......right

That was a fun video :D
I tried I'm not a reviewer, I talk about stuff that works after I test it for weeks.... Months......

I have seen reviews where they show a mod that has (26) puffs and they are talking how great it is.....ha ha

I'm set on the Mesh Pro tank. After further inner consultation, i don't think RDA is for me.

I'm a pianist and very impatient perfectionist one that is. I denied the request to teach my own little niece the piano just because i knew i would be very impatient with her because i expect her to play great from the first lesson lol. So i can only imagine if i messed up the wicking on my RDA what would be my reaction (probably the trash bin).

I'm also a "preset" kinda guy as opposed to being the "tweaker" when it comes to messing with synthesizers.

Yea....i don't think RDA is for me....

Around 40-60w, I like the Smok Beast and Prince Tanks, UWell Crown III, and ELeaf Melo III.
I probably as many Aspire Cleitos than I have of all those combined.

Coils for all these usually last me a week, or a 5-pack a month.
