Yes. VapnFagan is a little goofy, but - due to him, I learned how to correctly assemble and dismantle my SMOK TFV4 on his YouTube channel. When he did an overview for the SMOK TFV4 back in July, he primed the coil head of TF-Q4 (the Cloud Chasing Series four-coil head), took two puffs, and said (paraphrase): "Well, I prefer the three-coils better. They're smoother, with better flavor. I know that I didn't give the four-coil enough break-in time during this video, but I still like the three-coil better." Well, I like the flavor and the power that the four-coils give you.

I can't wait to try the Octuplet Clapton Coiled "Beast." It's supposed to run optimally between 100-140 watts. It works at 60-150 watts. I'm salivating.

When it comes to taking things apart, and putting them back together - VapnFagan is really good about that.

Everyone here knows the drill - if it's made in China, the written directions that they give - translated to English - are a bit confusing, to say the least. :rolleyes:


I went through it back in the 1980s, when I bought my first polyphonic synthesizers that came from Japan. I already had a Moog, and their instructions came with a 'Quick Start Guide.' I'd be making wonderful noises in minutes. The early Japanese-translated-to-English manuals... oh, boy. The manuals were ABSOLUTELY NUTS in their version of English.

Phrases like "Quantize is as quantize can..." (when it came to sequencers) were like reading some "really deep" Haiku poetry. Then, they started opening offices here in the USA - in the early nineties - only then, were Japanese-manufactured musical electronics finally understandable by American musicians, in the pages of a Users' Manual.

If Chinese box and tank mod manufacturers were to open offices here in the USA, that would be a miracle. The low prices, however, even with retail markup here - would go up, and out of the stratosphere. FastTech had a USA support phone number, at one point - but, in the summer of this year, the number stopped taking calls. I don't know if it's back up again, but - that's okay. I won't shop there ever again. Once bitten, twice shy. FastTech had actually bitten us FOUR times.

Funny thing is, they gave us a $20 USD in-store credit, after all of the BS they put Liz and I through. We used maybe $7.95 out of it; and, left the rest. It isn't worth it. I uninstalled the app out of my Android, and haven't looked back.

Be well, everyone - I was able to take the trash to the dump, though it was an Act of Congress on my body. Dogs are fed, and happy. Laundry still has to be moved from the washer, to the dryer :mad:. The kitchen's clean. So, something got done today, anyway. Yes - I miss Liz, so much. :)

Not sure what the next big thing out is, but I'm sure you do. Where do y'all get your vape news & updates of upcoming releases from? After giving this Crown tank a good run I might be a mainly tank guy o_o and I thought once you drip you never go back.. I love the long draws I can take on this thing. I can't really do that on a dripper because it can't wick fast enough. Oh and +1 to your Chinese instructions crap.. Followed the filling instructions to the T with this thing and it flooded out the airholes like the Mississippi river! Only when I did it the opposite way did it fill correctly.. Go figure. Definitely going to have to get my hands on a TFV4 since they have the largest selection of coil heads out currently and the MuTank for the RBA section as it's a true rebuildable deck and the only tank currently with one. Best of both world's in my opinion. Also going to grab a TC mod and Ecig.com has the Reuleaux RX200 for $45, but currently out of stock. So I'll be grabbing all of that soon.

Get the rx200. You will love it.
Oh I'm knowing I will. Gotta grab a bunch of new batteries though and a 4 bay digital nitecore. Only have a 2 bay

I have been thinking about the Efest charger that has six bays. That way I can marry two pair's for the RX200 right from the get go and have plenty of room for my Sigelei's batteries when the others are off

Guess Nitecore it is! Lol. I had my questions about them as well and I would rather not chance a bad charger. @Boattlebot check illumn.com for chargers. Got my Nitecore D2 for about $12 there.

Just wanted to say these new sheets are comfy. I still hate I had to put them on but worth it.

No they don't. But you already have a 2 bay, so... lol
You sure are right, bud. I just liked the fact that one charger can charge two pair for this mod since it takes three batteries. But I'll make due with what I can get. As much as I love this tank, this is the third time I've refilled today.. That's 12ml of juice a day almost. Definitely doing DIY soon..

Shoot before my mod died I was up to almost 30ml a day. Now I am at 0ml a day lol. Im sure when I get back to it I will be right back up there.

Had to go play trouble with the kids, whooped them as usual.

Whats everyone up to tonight?

Just watched a movie called Bone Tomahawk, which was quite gruesome.

Yeah none of these 200w mods are really 200w.. I don't see the point in going up that high in wattage anyway.. I'm just after the battery life with the three 18650s and also want to give TC a try

@iSubOhm, I'm a musician - but, I'm also a sound engineer, and learned about Ohm's Law by way of speakers, connected to power amplifiers that, via vacuum tubes - or, solid state FET - converted alternate current, to direct current - via transformers.

A friend of mine who's a certified Mackie repair tech hooked up my X CUBE II to a .14 ohm load (my four-coil head's true resistance) and measured its power output ramping up, then down - and, the joule setting. You'll be surprised:

At 180 watts, it ramped up to 174.83 watts, then down to 159.27 watts in about a second. Hence the term, 'regulated' box mod. Joules: 52.77

It's pretty damned close, and to be expected from something that's DC-powered.

That's why unregulated box mods can be dangerous.

This is all that my X CUBE II has. Yet, like I wrote earlier, I usually run between 60-70 watts - measured by my Mackie buddy, it held up pretty well, at a .14 ohm load. 60 was 57.77; 70 was 68.0.

Fun facts, to know and tell. You sleep well, young man. Vape like you mean it. :)

LW & Liz :):)
Very good engineering there and thanks for the share on that info. Surprised me to find that it's almost all a rounded about guess on the wattage and not a true reading :eek: I would really love to truly learn all there is to know about Ohm's law and joules

I have two Crowns I've been vaping everyday for a couple months now.. honestly they are great!! Also my brother says this is his favorite tank, with the .25 stainless coil as well... when I read posts about problems other people are having with them I can only think it's operator error or it might be a clone..I got these from my local shop which is an authentic Uwell vendor.. No leaks, easy top fill and they vape awesome! Can't say enough about my Crowns...

My dad lives outside of Dallas, I messaged him to make sure he made it through the storms, said 11 tornadoes touched down around him but he didn't even have a branch break off his tree.
