TFV4 The TFV4 has been nothing but trouble.

I just got the tfv4 and it is by far the best tank out there

I’m seeing this on a few other forums too. You either love it or hate it. I have three and I’m happy with them all. If I had a dual rba for the Crown it may be my fave. But I can’t fave a single coil. I haven’t been using either of my Crowns lately The vape is good with the 22g Ti… but not as good as the dual TFV4s.

I just got the tfv4 and it is by far the best tank out there… great flavor and density of clouds is great… I’m using titanium wire with the single and dual coil rtas …the only thing I would add is it is tricky to wick but after a leak or two its vaping great!

[Cc9fingers]

I can’t seem to get the dual coil air flow just right… I’m using 24g titanium. What dia/raps are you using?

[daath]

2.5mm ID 6 wraps - also 24G (0.5mm)…

[Cc9fingers]

Do you have any leaking problems? The dual coil seems to leak if I wick it short and be to tight if I put enough cotton to keep it from leaking? Any thoughts??? I just haven’t found a happy median?

[daath]

@Pro_Vapes has some instructions - I just went by instinct and it worked - leak free

There you go:

SMOK TF-R2 Dual RBA Deck

[image] If you were blindfold and took a toke from this tank you would say… It’s a dripper. Tanks has arrived people. This tank is the best I own. Some say it’s hard to build but I don’t think they understand the innovations SMOK has made on this tank. Very easy to build and wick. Four large juice that could wick molasses. [image] It has a 2 post design… Like the Crown Tank it has raised shoulders on the post. All you do is back the screw out a bit and insert the wires and tighten. It’s de…

It’s so good to see a prediction come true. This is a post from Early June 2015.

Crown Subtank by Uwell

I went out on a limb buying this tank after watching a couple reviews and now I’m glad I did. IMO this tank delivers some of the best flavor I’ve ever had since I started vaping. I have only found one shop that has this tank right now because it’s brand new from the top coil manufacturer in China that has decided to stop supplying and start selling and designing there own vape line. I’m telling you they hit a homerun with this tank. The craftsmanship on this tank is superb and it has all the fea…

Ive just done my tfv4 rba with 5 wraps of 26 awg and loaded it wiht a blueberry waffle its showing .4 on the ohm meter I’ll report soon but im intrested as to why you say 22 awg has more taste😮

[Cc9fingers]

I’m gonna give the dual another shot as soon as I finish this tank of ‘‘Mothers Unicorn Milk’’ ( Apwoblewski recipe)… don’t want to waste because it’s awesome!!!

[Pattie]

Ive got my tfv4 rda single set up with a 5 wrap 26awg ti reading 0.39 on my x cube (0.41) on my ohm meter, and my mod is reading .00350. Im vaping at 512f and my tc is still cutting in. Any advice anyone?

[daath]

Go to settings - adj. ohms: Three clicks, wait, then four, long click, then five clicks, long click then set your ohms to 0.40 or 0.41, long click and try again

My own ohm meter is off by 0.2 ohms, and my XCube is often off by 0.2 ohms as well - so I’ve had to fiddle a bit with the same problems

[Pattie]

Thanks daath. I was getting close to 520f and just a hint of burning so i didnt want to push it. I’ll try that my friend. Thanks very much for your advice.

[Pattie]

@daath that worked a treat mate adjusted ohm’s to .41 and getting a nice tasty vape at 470f. Tc working fine. Thanks mate where would we be without you

[Pro_Vapes]

One of those Hex kits go down to a 1.27 mm. That should be small enough.
Thanks @Josephine_van_Rijn.

You’re welcome

I’ve never played with Ti wire, 22 is the best gauge? And what’s a legit company with clean wire?

[Cc9fingers]

Has anyone ever used titanium wire with a mod that only reads ni200… I have heard that its OK if you allowed 100degrees F … like set it for 320° if you want 420° … has anyone ever heard this?

[Cc9fingers]

OK I finally got the dual coil for the tfv4 to rolling the vapor!!! You all were right it is better… when I got it wicked properly, it hits great… great flavor and tons of vapor!!!

[Jondamon]

Yes it’s doable.

I think you need to allow around 150F less.

I’ve used my IPV4S in Ni200 mode with a Ti build when I was trying to get more warmth to my vape and I started at 320F and worked my way up.

The biggest issue from what I found was that you can get dry hits this way.

But since I’ve changed to 22g Ti and gone to super sub ohm builds running in Ti mode the warmth is there at 430F.

I’ve used 29, 26 and 22g Ti wire from

www.wireandstuff.co.uk

Here’s what I’ve used and done so far.

26g Ti at .32ohms, at .14ohms 30-50J 485-550F flavour is great but warmth was lacking.

26g/29g Ti Alien Clapton build at 0.08ohms wow what a vape. 50J and 480F was perfect.

22g Ti 5 wrap on a 3mm dual coil at 0.07ohms 45J 430F is a great great vape. Flavour is the best I’ve ever had surpassing most of my dripper builds too.

The 22g is very easy to work with, holds its shape well when forming coils.

My 22g seems to have a Titanium Oxide coating which I was a little unsure about so I sanded it off using 650grit wet and dry and then thorough cleaning afterwards.

Thanks to @daath and @pro_vapes I won’t be sanding the next recoil I do. I’ll just be cleaning thoroughly and wrapping it up.
