The Crown Tank and Other Sub Ohm Monsters

A friend of mine is a dripper, builder and lover of all things high wattage. He had recently switched back to tanks and couldn't say enough great things about his crown tank. The flavor and cloud production made my Subtanks the equivalent of a blu cig he would joke. I figured, "what the hell" it's $35 to have a cathartic experience and still be able to pass a piss test. So I went online, ordered the tank and waited on the edge of my seat.

When I first received it I was more than impressed with the build quality, simplicity and lack of any branding. Very clean. The top fill feature also was something I very quickly came to appreciate it and wondered why this was not a standard feature on sub ohms from the jump. So after very patiently and methodically priming the .25 coil, I juiced it up, slapped it on my beloved IPV mini and prepared my self for the vaping experience of a life time.

Right off I didn't like it. There was a ton of flavor and vapor but, this might sound odd to some or even most, it was too much flavor and vapor. The flavor was more pronounced than what I was used to and my staple juice, OHW Milkman, didn't taste the way I liked it. It was not bad by any means, just not the same. Also, I normally vape at 35-45 watts so 70 was way too much for me. The air flow was also more than I would ever want or need.

After about a tank, which the crown tank greddy devoured in less than 20 minutes, I decided I'd try out the .5 coil. Same results just a bit scaled back. Aside from ravenous juice consumption, it was a battery killer. By the time the tank was empty, so was the battery. Two tanks later I made up my mind, the crown tank just isn't for me. I put it up for sale on this forum and it was sold within 5 min.

For me, the Kanger Subtanks are the perfect balance between power, flavor and cloud production. Because I still had the itch for something new to put on my IPV D2 (which should be here in a few hours) I went ahead and purchased a Subtank Plus Ni200 version. I think that will make for a nice happy medium.

Anyone else in my camp? I'd like to hear some takes on the crown tank versus the Subtank-esqe tanks.

Thanks for reading.

I kinda get what your saying. The Crown tank feels like taking the Ferrari to get a loaf of bread sometimes. Instead I may want to just hop in the Honda (Subtank Mini) and run down the road. I love the Crown for its sheer performance and superior build quality but I get where some people might not always want or even like that kinda tank.

I love the Vapor and flavor produced by my Crown's with the .25 coils.. Battery life isn't an issue for I vape them on these two dual batt IPV4's..yes they burn thru the juice but the money I save not having to buy 4 cartons of Marlboro a month anymore buys alot of juice! Lol

I like the Ferrari analogy. That about sums it up

I guess I should have mentioned I'm using a single 18650 so naturally the battery life would be crap.

So... Started with a eGo one, MTL. Now I'm on the Crown. Never cared about clouds. Certainly don't care to burn through juice. It was never my intent to get here. But I'm here.

To me, getting some 24 nic and having 30 mls last me 2 weeks sounds good. Less, juice, less coils, less charging. But it tastes like crap. You get used to it. You want more. I'm at 6 nic. 30 mls will last a good 4 days. Batteries don't matter. 2 boxes is a must for me. Would rather just plug one in instead of switch out batteries. Plus I have back up.

So ya. The Crown compared to my sub tank mini almost has too much flavor. Go through more juice. Go through more charging. So what. It is what it is. And I love it. Definitely got used to it. Now less feels like nothing. But I am not looking for the next biggest one. I'm happy. Content to stay here. Anything more is just a waste. If you stuck with the Crown, you more than likely would have gotten used to it. The Kanger would have been a down grade. But that's cool. A whole crap ton of good options out there on suit every vaping style. That's a good thing.

Love my crown and I just ordered 2 more of them after finding a great deal on em. The Ni200 coils are lasting a looong time also which is a huge plus. It's a match made in heaven with my IPV 3Li VR and I couldn't be happier with them both. Waiting on the Jaybo Reuleaux now to pop one of the new Crowns on.
