Tank Recommendations Please!!

[Toddy]

Hello,

I'm after a new tank and looking for some recommendations please.

Currently using a Kanger Subtank Plus and Subtank Mini with 0.5 and 1.5 ohm coils. I've got a Kanger Kbox Mini Platinum with temp control.

I've never used the temp control to be honest I've not really heard many good things about it, but do have the facility if you think thats the way to go.

Using 70VG 30PG liguids. (just to cover all the bases)

Thank you.

what wattage does the k box have?

my first subtank was the mini and ive had a few in between which were a bit pants so we can help you miss them out.

if your mod goes above 50watts then i would suggest either of these 3
uwell crown
aspire cleito
smok tfv4
all great tanks but they need a minimum of 45-50watts. only down side is they love eating juice.

Depending on how you wanna vape everyone needs to try a kayfun at least once.

Hi, Thanks for the reply my K box goes upto 60 watts.

I vape it like I stole it! So I clear out a 5ml tank at work no problem, so I always carry extra juice. 

I have been looking at the TFV4 the coil selection is massive. Do the coils last? I replace mine about every 5 days at the moment, if im lucky.

Cheers

TFV4 coils last for ages but 60watts isn't really enough. It likes 70+ watts to come alive.

I think it's great they eat juice. I can put my crap juice through it and get rid of it quicker.

Crown is fine at 30-40 watts for me. You do get more flavor the higher you go though. The tank itself becomes too hot for me at higher watts. I should get a heatsink..

Blimey,  I think I'm missing out here, I've never gone above 25 watts. Can't image what 70+ would be like. Might have to consiber new battery aswell.

Thanks for the input.

My personal tanks of choice are OBS Crius and tfv4 mini. FYI, I had the original tfv4 and never really got on with it. Crius I have coiled at 0.4ohms firing at 30w and the tfv4 mini at 0.7ohms and 25w. So am kinda the fly in the ointment here and will say that you don't need to fire tanks at 45-50 watts to get the best from both these tanks, you can tailor your coil to suit your personal preference, with the tfv4 mini and full size, a wide range of stock coils are available. Some of these coils will need upwards of 50w to perform, but again the use of these are down to your personal choice, I never really got on with any of them and prefer to build my own. As for the other two MrDJ has recommended, I cannot comment as I have no experience of them. I'm sure there will be others along shortly with their recommendations and you'll still be spoilt for choice hopefully when you pick one, it will be to your liking.

tfv4 tripple lasted about 2-3 weeks and the quads even longer. im only running mine at 50-55watts as its the menthol/colada tank and thats plenty wattage for my malibu breeze.
got 10 quad coils from gearbest for £16 so they will keep me going for a while.
love the swivel head on the top fill tank as well.

Only downside with the tfv4 (apart from the fact it drinks juice like there's no tomorrow) is that the flavour is very muted. IMO it's the most flavourless of all the subohm tanks.
My personal recommendation would be the Uwell Crown, It's a good balance between clouds and flavour.

I think you should get a fire extinguisher

Hi,

The crown does look a nice piece of kit. I like the top filling. How do you get on with the life of the coils?

Thanks for the input.

Coils last weeks for me. I have two crowns, the silver and the black. I intend to get another next month. I'm not seeing anything better on the market. Cheap tank £20, cheap coils £8.99 (ukecigstore) Tons of flavor.

2 - 3 weeks would be a massive improvement for me. I'll have to check out gearbest thats a bloody good price for 10 coils. I'm cuerrently paying £10.95 ish for 5 coils for my Kanger and getting through 1 every 5 days ish.

Cheers for your help.

Thats great thanks for the advice.

It seems the wind is blowing between the Crown and TFV4 currently.

Really appriciate the input from everyone. I'm loving this forum I've always had to pretty much suck it see with my kit in the past. Its great to have a huge wealth of knowledge to ask in advance.
