I disagree at least you know you're getting authentic products from ukecig and the price is comparable. I still have concerns about a pack of crown coils I got from myepack and they never reply to emails.
I've not used any of those sites, I've always brought my kit from Sirvapealot. Mainly because the service is excellent and I've never had an issue with them. They dont sell Uwell kit though so they are out.
I've checked all the above and to be honest there is only pence between any of them.
I thought choosing the tank was difficult hadnt considered the supplier!! 
Thanks for the info. If you can't get an email response out of myepack they are defo out.

uk e cig are certainly not the cheapest and defo not the best when it comes to order on line. places i always advise to check first are myepack dna vapes sr vapes (free shipping)
Cheers for that I'll take a look.

Yeah I didn't even have to rinse mines out. (either of them) They came really clean. I had a subtank mini before I had my crown. The coils would be lucky to last me a few days and were variable in quality which is something kanger has always struggled with in my opinion. It now sits in the back of the drawer. You really need to prime the crown coils though. I usually prime from the top and when liquid starts leaking out the side I know it's ready. I let it sit in the tank for 15mins to be safe and it's good to go. Max VG eliquids no problem. Never had a dry hit. 
I must admit I've noticed the quality is a bit up and down with my Kanger coils, I also get about 1 in 8 that doesnt work at all. Hence the change really.
I'll get on and order my Crown then.
Thank you for all the information its been a massive help.

.5 coils on the crown at 45w for me is spot on. Build quality of the crown is solid. Lots of cloudage and flavour so you can't go wrong
Sounds good to me, great price as well. Just had a look on UK Ecig Store £28.98 with a pack of 4 .5 coils. Can't go wrong really.
Cheers the help.

I also have both the Crown and Tfv4, the crown wins on flavour, but the Tfv4 only starts to come to life at around 60w plus, I find the flavour quite muted on the Triple coil, with slight improvement with the quad coil ( used at 80w) I normally Vape at around 36-40w on the Crown in comparison. Thanks for the input. I must admit 36-40 W is closer to my confort zone. Its all about the flavour for me, rather than the clouds.

the crown wins hands down on flavor and is my number 1 tank. bought a spare as well. the new rafaele imo is no where near as good as the crown. its way too airy and flavor is muted. the highest ive got with the crown was 55wats while the rafaele ive had upto 100watts now and its still no better on flavor. Cheers for the information. I'm certainly leaning towards the Crown. |

I'll echo what drunkenbum has said, my main issue was poor flavour from the original tfv4 but the mini, for whatever reason, for me is completely different and has excellent flavour. I did have this issue as well with the sub tank and sub tank mini but can offer no explanation why. I have noticed that with the Subtank plus and Subtank Mini. Thought it was just me but I do get a much better flavour from the Mini even with the same coils. |

I don't have the tfv4 so I can't compare. However..  I was just thinking that myself!  |

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.
Cheers for that, seems popularity is swaying towards the Crown at the moment.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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. 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.. 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.

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

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
