@jerri you're not alone. I've been following this thread from the start as I received my crown a few days back, but only just got a mod capable of firing it on and like you, I am underwhelmed by it to say the least. I'm using the stock 0.5 dual SS coil, there's mild undertones of what the flavour should be and clouds for days but to be perfectly honest it tastes more like steel than anything else. Like you, primed it properly but also like you, if it doesn't improve then it will to end up in the classies :/ I've got the .25 coil in mine at 70 watts and the flavours great

Plenty of flavour if its a strong flavour, using a 'delicate subtle' flavour its pants, lots of clouds nothing else. A good meaty custard or my ADV Smoak (myvapery) its great, fruits etc. not as good as the Triton.

I've never heard anyone say anything that wasn't positive about this tank. No matter what I did I got zero flavour. Clouds for absolute days. I started at 30w and went up. No burnt hits at all but zero flavour. I made the mistake of taking a big lung hit at 70w too and I got such a nic Rush I actually threw up and felt sick for hours haha. Maybe I'm just not made for this style of vaping. If the flavour had been amazing. I'd have worked with it till I found my sweet spot. But the flavour was non existent. I'm now happily vaping my subtank mini and lemo 2. Both giving me great flavour. The airflow on the crown is something else. But that for me is where the pro's stopped.

Currently using the 0.5 at around 55w and creating a new atmosphere within my house

At 30 watts I got about as much vapour as a protank lol. So far this is my favourite subtank, beats the triton hands down

A good meaty custard or my ADV Smoak (myvapery) its great, fruits etc. not as good as the Triton. So, I ran through an entire tank of NOM nomz 'strawberry ambrosia' which I thought may need longer steeping as there was only the slightest hint of flavour coming through, so I turned to my ADV VC that tastes good through all my tanks and still nothing :/ as said above, going to try all the coils in the pack over the next week and see how it goes

alexthebear if your unwilling or worried about going higher use the rba. A pro and com at the same time is the airflow. Keeps the coils cool at high watts. But if you don't use high watts it can mute the flavour alot. Rba you can control the airflow through coiling and wicking

Just a quick update, just filled up my 3rd tank on this (same coil and same juice as the 2nd tank) and now the flavour is starting to come through still not as full on as everyone has made out but a vast improvement. I'm wondering if some of the coils just need to bed in? Pretty new to sub ohm vaping so I've nothing to compare it to but the clouds are insane! Definitely not a stealth vape ha ha
