TFV4 opinions wanted

[poochops]

Got mine a couple of days ago after reading this thread, I ordered one from gearbest eu warehouse and it was here two days later! :)Pretty impressed with the service I've got to say, esp After my first China order was a disaster taking two months to land
Anyway, opened the box, thought WTF!?! I've got atties smaller than them coil heads (remember the octopus dripper anyone?) packed it back up and there it's sat. I've an Xcube II to sit it on which is equally mahoooosive so that's lucky, I think I'm going to fill her up just now with some Clara-t which I haven't actually tasted yet so it'll be an adventure all round I reckon
Tally ho!

Well first attempt with the RBA deck and it's dry hitting, but, when it works, the vapour and the flavour are just awesome! I can't taste anything right now, I'm full of a cold but even with that the flavour is fab!

Well it chucks that's for sure, got the triple coil in, it sounds like a camping stove fired at 80 watts, much higher and it's too much for me at the mo, but then my juice is 10mg. Good cloud as expected, can't comment on the flavour because I've not tried Clara-t in anything else yet, Clara t is ok btw, made 200mls which I'm sure we'll get through but I probs won't mix it again.

One thing though, I undid the top cap to have a poke around inside but couldn't release the glass tank from the base, anyone else had this? Not sure what I'm doing wrong? Cheers

I had this, it really is a tight fit in the lower seal, perhaps due to heat generated, I don't know. But I just spent a good half hour or so jiggling it back and forth and it eventually came free, with no damage to the glass tank. Just be patient but I've got these now, Replacement Glass Tank for SMOK TFV4 from Fasttech just in case.

You should not be getting a dry hit, the juice channels are mahoosive!

Cut your cotton wick on the diagonal from top to bottom just so the longer underneath bottom of the wick goes about halfway down into the channels.

I should say, it isn't me getting dry hits, it's the other half. I have nooo idea what he does but Every. Single. Tank he tries, he gets dry hits. I am genuinely ready to hit him over the head with the tank!

Maybe he's sucking too hard

Any idea when the mini is to be released? ... I just can't be doing with massive tanks

car147. do you think the triple coil would have cleaned up in an ultra-sonic?

I have ended up ordering a couple of dual re-buildable bases from FT at a tad over £4 each.

Greigster, so i popped  the triple in the Ultrasonic cleaner and it has indeed cleaned it up and has been in use for the last few days, fantastic idea which will even make the stock coils a bit better to live with price wise if we can extend their use .

[Greigster]

That is great news car147.

I really like the triple coil but have not tried the quad yet.

The triple coils are comparatively expensive, though I hope the price may come down in the future. At least we can re-use the triple after putting it through the US cleaner.
I am just about to have a go at with a clapton for the first time.....though the holes in the TFV4 re-buildable head are rather small.

I popped a quad in but then after filling realised my IPV D2 wouldnt run it. Waiting for my X cube to arrive now to try them out.

Just popped in a new Ti200 Hendrix coil into my TFV4 from a sample of wire that VapingBad very kindly sent me.

Tried yesterday with 4.5 wraps around 2mm, 0.1ohms, but my SMY mini did not seem powerful enough and my IPV D2 also felt under powered.

Re-coiled it again today with a larger coil of Hendrix, 6/7 wraps around 3mm which settled at 0.17ohms after the initial reading of 0.14ohms

Works great on the SMY Mini @ 460f and even better on the iPV D2 at 410f

This has been my first try at the Clapton/Hendrix coil and the best yet at Temperature control, which I have to say, I was never very impressed with until now.

Wtf is a Clapton/Hendrix coil?

I'm waiting for the mini to be released.  The only place I have seen it on pre order is Heaven Gifts, www.heavengifts.com/SMOK-TFV4-Mini-Tank-Kit-3-5ml-Silver.html  But no doubt others will be listing it soon.  Can't see it on GB.

I was wondering that as well, maybe it's the same as a clapton, but left handed?
