What should be my next tank?

[Toallhisdoom]

So started with ego one mega. Junk. Got the kanger subtank mini. Junk. Then jumped to the uwell crown tank on an ipv3 li .5 ohm dual coils at 90w and it's been amazing!

What would be the next step for a cloud chaser? This thing blows clouds for sure but who doesn't want more??

Any suggestions would be great!

 

[Mattp169]

well if you want more clouds then a crown - youll have to go tfv4 or rta or rda

 

[Toallhisdoom]

Will the tfv4 be a big improvement? And what would you recomend for an rta? Aromamizer rdta?? Looks pretty sweet!

Local vape shop was showing me the mutation x mt-rta looked like a pretty sweet tank. He said they include a custom coil build with purchase. Think it was $40?

The TFv4's quad coils are probably the best you can get for clouds from a standard prebuild coil tank. I don't have a crown so I can't comment on how much but I wouldn't put my money on it being a huge improvement. You'll really want to look at drippers to see a huge improvement. RTAs are nice as well, but remember then you have to get into coil wrapping, which is fun, but depending on how you build it your results will vary dramatically. The Crius with the Velocity deck is the one that looks most interesting to me for that, but I'm quite happy with my TFv4 with the rebuildable coils so I haven't purchased one. Bellow v2 also looks pretty interesting with it's side airflow, not sure if that's better but certainly interesting.

As for the TFv4 and it's quad coils, huge clouds for sure, but their quite airy, which to me is a turnoff, I prefer a thicker vapor, and clouds be damned as long as I'm satisfied.

Basically if you want more than the Crown, TFv4, Herekles or any of these top tanks offer you're going to have to start doing some coil stuff yourself. Even if you buy the coils premade you still have to mount them and wick them. It's a jump worth mentioning and considering, I as many find it very fun and have made a hobby of it, but it's not for everyone, so consider it and if you want to do it.

Myself I saw the Haze Drip Tank and instantly thought I had to have it, so I have one of those on the way, hybrid between a drip and a tank in a way I've seen no other do (tank below the coils). When I saw the Rip Trippers guy just hold the power down for a good 10+seconds and it continue to just throw out vapor, well that's worth checking out. I of course bought a ripoff (err clone?) to check it out, if I like it enough and the clone isn't up to snuff I'll probably buy the authentic.

One last thing, if clouds are your goal DO NOT get the TFV4 mini, it can't handle the high wattage needed for maximizing cloud production, it just heats up far too fast. It's excellent at 80w or so and below, but once you break 100w you're going to get burnt, literally.

I've got the Crown and TFV4. I like both, but the difference to me anyway is night and day. Much bigger clouds from the TFV4 and a little better flavor. To me the TFV4 has more air flow. I don't build or rebuild coils. The coils for the TFV4 are a bit pricey and last me 2-3 weeks. I have been using the TFV4 as my daily driver for about 3 weeks. I had to ship almost 40 coils to Uwell because I bought bad coils and am waiting for them to ship me new coils.

i just started dripping a few weeks ago and i havnt looked back. its wonderful !! i have a velicity clone on the way.... cant wait...... i have tried a few so far and really love my dark horse good flavor and much clouds if you want to open it up

If your goal is the biggest cloud, you'll be getting there eventually (to a dripper that is). Of course then you have to drip, make your own coils, deal with the wick and all that fun stuff. So it's hardly just a jump but more a leap. If you do you'll want supplies. They sell DIY kits, may be worth going that way, but at the very least you'll want an Ohm Meter, some good snips, wire, wick, some pliars, scissors, and probably some tweezers. You'll want to familiarize yourself with some physics, of course Ohms Law, but also some idea of other electrical equations and heat dissipation rules. You'll want an idea of why different metals produce different results and how to fine tune your coil to perform how you want it.

This isn't to scare you away, this is simply trying to give you an idea of what you're getting into if you want to go this route. Buy premade coils which a vape shop will likely provide and you don't really have to know all this, they already do so they can make what you want but you have to trust them to do so. But be aware that you're going to be doing a lot more hands on and the more knowledge you have the better the results will be.

I really don't want to have to carry juice with me. That's why I like the aromamizer rdta. But probably won't get same performance as a straight dripper

 

[Deucesjack]

I have 4 Crowns and 1 TFV4. Get another Crown. The 2 are close but I like the top fill on the Crown better. I hate the vape band and the little rubber gasket on the top fill of the Smok.

The aromamizer rdta is a beast. I have a handful of drippers laying around and it beats them. I will admit my drippers are kinda old and probably shit but man this thing chucks the vapor and flavor and this is coming from a mouth to lung vapor. The only issues with the rdta is you have to wick it just right so it does not leak when you sit it on its side. Its not a hard monumental task to get where you need to be but if your new to rebuilding it might take you a few tries to get down how to lay the wick. You can always just close off the band as well.

The second issue is depending on your build it can go though juice but frankly thats almost any high performance tank. The TFV4 will use even more depending on the coil or build. That velocity deck is also super easy to build on. I really think its a good choice. I just loathe having to drip juice constantly. Im actually a fan of the band on the rdta and got the black delrin tip to match it. I think it looks good personally but some hate it.

I've been useing rta's for awhile now and not to long ago got my 1st dripper. I didn't feel that drippers ( atleast the one I got) was worth the hype. I get drippers where the bee's knee's forever bc rta's sucked for the longest time. But with tanks like the cirus bellus zephrus billow2 etc. There's no point in drippers (unless your doing 22g+) in my eyes. A good starter tank that's single coil that would blow clouds would be the serpent. If you want to jump into dual coils i'd go with the cirus or bellus.

Mote vapor, more juice...
Old rdas are still good... only setback is older guys like quasar and igow have shit airflow.... had my top rdas with builds on em so i pulled out mutation x v3 and put this on it.

At .15ohm i hit it at 120w on the efusion..... flavor is brutal, clouds are brutal..... but i tear through 20 to 30 mls of juice a day....
Some people burn theough more juice...
I been wanting to get an aromamizer, i dunno how itll compare to an rda though... even a cheaply one like the mxv3 which produces.

If you don't want to bring juice with you then RTA is certainly where you want to look. Though I will say if you're a cloud chaser you'll still want to have a bottle of juice with you if you go out for the day. I have a 30ml in my car in case I need it.

As far as RTA's, you're freedom to tweak is huge. You may get a more flavor chaser RTA (which I believe the Aromamizer is) but you can make a coil that will chuck clouds. Likewise you can go the opposite. Coils are the driving force. The tank simply tunes it. Your coil and the wicking is what is key to the vaping experience. The tank simply applies the airflow (more is better for clouds), and controls the intake with the internal volume and shape and chimney length. Crius, Bellow v2, Aromamizer, TFv4, Lemo2, or anything the key is going to be your coil. Personally why I'm a fan of the TFv4 is that if i'm in a situation where I just can't get my coil right, I can just swap the coilhead and go, be it another custom RBA build or a premade coil. I can work on a new coil up till the minute I need to go, quickly drop some juice on the ready to go coilhead, toss it in, fill the tank and go. It's probably not the best RTA, maybe not the best Tank, but it has a lot of versatility and freedom and that's why I like it. Don't need/want that, well it probably isn't your best option.

Wow thanks everyone! I have a lot to think about. Has anyone's used the rebuildable deck for the crown tank?

 

[philsubOhms]

When i first got the TFV4, i was using the triple coils, they were just ok, they do take time to kick in, i didnt try try the quad coils yet but i hear good things about them. Now the TFV4 dual RBA deck is awesome, you can can get think plumes of clouds on it if you build it right, my first build on that rba was some 26 gauge kanthal dual coils. the thing i like about the tfv4 rba is it can handle more power then you think

Came across these in another thread for the crown RBA, there's a few threads about issues with it. Like all RTAs wicking can be tricky, not enough cotton and you get leaking, too much cotton and dry hits, and then issues if you just lay the cotton in the wrong place even if you have the right amount. Takes some practice and fine tuning.

Yes, and now it's sitting in a drawer! The deck is absolutely tiny, it's very tricky to wick so it doesn't either leak or dry hit, and generally the only way to fill it is bottom fill so it doesn't leak. And the airflow is considerably reduced. The Crown is my favorite tank for flavor using the stock coils, but the RBA is a disappointment.

You should definitely go for a dripper, but an authentic one.

Vulcan from VLS is what I use. Also a coil master winding jig, some 26ga kanthal, Muji cotton pads, small pliers, nail clippers and ready to rock!

I use mine with a short and wide teflon drip tip.

 

[decisively_unsure]

On the flipside am going to get an Aspire Nautilus mini for when am out and about and dripping is less practical. Great flavour tank for what it is and easy to stealth vape with it.
