I’m not into TFV8 style 100 watts+ vaping, my range is more 20-30 watts and am more a flavor chaser I’m tempted by the Crown I, do you think it’s still worth it? I have other tanks, RTAs but I’m looking to get something for the get go
Thanks for your input !!

Guess so but wouldn’t a tank with stock coils aswell as an rba deck be more suited then? Like an aspire cleito can build in the rba deck (sold seperatly) and keep a pack or 2 stock coils on hand for when you don’t want to build.
Or get the rba deck for your smok tank

To me it’s an ok tank as long as you get the rebuildsble coil deck and get the wicking right, I have 3 they were my daily knock around tank for a long time.

thanks guys ! I’ll give it a shot… if you can recommend good single coil RTA’s I’d be grateful (I have the serpent mini & merlin)

I still have my og Crown. YES it is still worth it, if you don’t mind buying coils which are apprx. $10 per package of 4.- 5.
YES the original Crown has an rba deck.
It is a decent tank and if you could get it for a decent price it may be worth it to you.
I have had the Crown III for a couple months now and I got to say…I like it. I am still using the coils that came with it.
Anywho, I don’t think you would be disappointed with either one

I’m still using the original Crowns. Never saw any reason to change to anything else.
They work just fine.

I am still using my original Crown and I love it!! I don’t try to build on it, just stick with the coils, as I have heard it can be difficult.

Still loving my Crown1. I’ve bought 2 more just a few months ago to make sure i can use them for a while. The build deck is rubbish though in my opinion, not enough air flow. I kept most of my used coils and try to rebuild them. Just received the 0.4mm SS wire.
However, since i have this well known vapehardwarebuyeraddiction i am still looking for an addition to the sub ohm tank collection but the ones I’ve tried were not better than the Crown so I guess I’ll keep using the Crown for a while. I liked the Cleito but with high VG juice it requires some tuning. They don’t seem to let enough juice through to the coils and i got lots of slightly dry hits. It’s better with a bit more PG in the mix or some water to make it thinner.

Another fan of the crown here. Original and III and I love and use both of them quite a lot.

I would like to get the III as well, but seeing as I accidentally purchased about a year’s worth of coils for the original (on sale at least). And not having any issues, I probably won’t upgrade anytime soon.
@JoJo Do you build coils for both of them? I know you are much more experienced at it than I am, and just curious how you feel about that.

I don’t build for either of them. I have both styles of the OG Crown RBA but they were both a PITA and I never could get a decent vape from either. Granted, I haven’t tried since becoming slightly better at coiling, but one of the things I love about the Crowns is that I don’t have to build. I can just prime and put in a new coil and it’s a great vape without the fuss. I may go back and try the RBA for the OG someday, especially if they stop making coils.

Thanks for the info JoJo! I agree that it’s so nice having this one that doesn’t need to be coiled and wicked! Especially since that is still SO new for me! I definitely need to keep practicing making coils and wicking while I have the Crown to fall back on. I am so appreciative of the help I have gotten…by giving me the confidence to finally try it, and how my friends here have gone above and beyond to help and teach me things!

Im a Crown lover as well. The Origional version lacks a bit in airflow but it’s still great anyways. I still use them, and get coils super cheap off eBay from china. I never tried Crown2, but now Crown3 is the real “Cats Meow”! Both the regular size and mini both use the same crown3 coils. I just got 6 boxes of .25’s from China for $4.99 each & free shipping. So far all have worked fine. I have 6 C3’s on 6 different mods for different flavors so each atty stays same flavor. The coils last a long time, even with some super sweet juice. As for RTA, I vote for Geekvape’s Griffen. It utilize either single or double coil configuration. It has 6.2ml tank so it lasts longer than couple of hours. And if you do a proper wick job, IMO it can’t be beat for flavor. But I feel I should add this: there’s a fine line on wicking. Too loose of cotton =leakage. Too tight and you risk a dry hit after 3 or 4 long tokes in a row. But get it right, and you will agree, shes an awsome atty.
Best of luck buddy!

I’ve seen a video about the crown 3, apparently the coils were rubbish after the first batch. Are they OK now?
