Bring your tfv4 and crown to a vape shop. Ask them to coil and wick them for you properly. Watch how they do it and ask questions if need be. I think the fee you pay the shop is cheaper than wasting juice, selling off tanks at a loss, and being frustrated in the long run.

Also if you want better flavor, consider using a dripper instead of a tank. You'll have less leaking problems for sure as a bonus.

I dont know man. That TFV4 is just not giving me the flavour on any juice. What did I do wrong that I deserve no flavour?

What do I do to optimise it?

Coil type also affects flavor on certain juices.
Try 4mm coil. Pull the coil higher.

I have tried those 2 bro. I think I wicked 2 piece of big sheet cottons in that one week to try to get it right. It is just not for me I guess. I have Tried normal coils, Kanthal and Nichrome. Twisted. Spaced. The only thing I have not tried is Clapton. But looks like I am not going to invest more for that tank.

this is how i set my tfv4 - 0.5-0.7 ohm..firing 30 watts..flava cun but the vapour banyak..just use power mode only..
*
I have tried building 0.19 ohm to 0.9 ohm. Various settings (airflow/ wattage/ cotton amount) has been done, but nothing works for me. This Crown is not god like, but both of us start at the right page. I get instant flavour.

Later I take the pics of my TFV4 at home.

Right. I actually have not tried on the single coil. All my build was on the double coil RBA. Maybe I should give it a try on that single coil RBA.

Yeah, with crazy amount of flavor.

I have not tried 5mm. 3.5mm was the max I went. I did it ranging from 4 wraps to 10 wraps.

Hi folks, im a new vaper here.

Got myself a ipv d2 and a kangertech tank.

Mod running @ 7.0W, 1.85V and 0.49o

Using local creamie juice, I kind of like the taste but its a bit too strong for my throat, kind of a burning sensation.

Was is the juice or the mod setting.

Those local premium?

You know that, and I know that...but can he do it at this current stage? He's just beginning, and the TFV4 is not the best tank for people who are new.

It's difficult to help with your problem over a forum. I had in the past advised u in pm about the wire type, number of wraps, cotton etc, and you have made some progress (eg no more leakage). If Tristan or I were in front of you, a few tokes on your TFV4 and a quick look would enable us to give suggestions on remedy. However one factor we cannot help u on is your level of expectation of flavor. That's why I suggested you try a dripper because for the most part, a properly set-up dripper is easier to achieve, and most times they DO give better flavor than tanks.

Your bad luck to encounter shops who weren't proficient with the crown. Lingleeyen has been trying by himself until he's gotten so frustrated that he wants to sell his TFV4. Maybe his fate is the opposite of yours...can't learn by himself, but a vape shop could help him.
*
Err...I do not believe I can't do what the experts are doing. What I mean is that trial and error on wraps, cotton amount, the height of coil, diameter of coil. I have adjusted all I can. I just cannot get what I want.

What I cannot leverage is to try those above with different types of coil (different brand/ gauge/ type). I can only use UD Kanthal or Nichrome both at 26G. I did not experience any leakage on my wicking on TFV4. I only get spills when I try to take off parts for refill. The glass has its own mind either it want to stick at the top or bottom. I have tried pressing and avoid glass coming out from direction that I do not want to. I am noob I guess. I just want to vape with little hussle. TFV4 almost made me give up vaping. Buying more different coil for this specific tank is just not for me now. Maybe the TFV4 has given me too much disappointment when I try it everytime in the toilet after wicking. Dripper is too much hussle too when I am in office. Boss has that one look whenever I do maintenance in pantry in the morning on my tank.

I was frustrated with the TFV4, but with Crown through youtube tutorials I watched before hand, I am able to fix stuff by my own. So far so good now for me. The only thing I need to figure out for now is the leakage when I do top refill. Even after I close the air flow hole and wick with S method, it still leaks. Maybe it is because of the gap between the chimney and the RBA, which I cannot fix.

There is one thing I noticed no one asked. How much are you firing (also state the coil type, size, diameter and wraps)?
*
Coil type - UD Kanthal/ Nichrome both 26G
Coil inner diameter - 2mm - 3.5mm
Wraps - 5 - 10 wraps

I have tried all the possible combination from the condition above. 1 time Twisted coil at 2.5mm diameter on Kanthal.

I have tried firing from 15w to 50w from my IPV D2.

I have tried all the types of opening either on the bottom deck or at drip tip.

I have also adjusted the coil height from the air flow hole on the deck.

I have also tried different cotton thickness.

Yeap ... could it be the juice, any recommendation of imported creamy juice ?

I get that sometimes when the coil is not 'hot' enough. After a few puffs I am OK. Not sure now if it is my coil no hot or my throat no hot.

Just some small update on Crown. I have tried another top filling. What I did was close the airflow, open top cap, slowly taking my time to fill it up, close the top cap, open the airflow, voila, no leak.

However, I just filled up to the level just below the RBA head and also the o-ring of the chimney. Waited to see if it leaks. Nothing. I tried sucking through the air flow holes to see if there is any droplets in the chamber. Nothing.

Then I repeated the same process. This time till half full, over the RBA head. VOILA. Leaked like a MF. So the leakage should come from the air pressure through the RBA head when you close the top cap.

I have also tried the simultaneous turn the tank upside down, lock top cap and open air flow. Juice drips 2 drops through the drip tip.

Looks like bottom fill is still the win for now.

I close the airflow and refill. No leaks. The amount of PG on your juice determines how much cotton you need if you are going minimal cotton.

My TFV4 chugging crazy flavor and clouds with current setup.

Maybe let me try that again when I have the mood for TFV4.

My current wicking goes up a bit before it goes to the juice channel. Its more efficient.

Mine goes directly down. Maybe I should try that...sometime.

why cant they make it slotted screw instead of hexagon one. haih

Either a playar or a same sized flat head screw driver. Most of the time it is the middle of the screw disfigured. The sides still has some grip.

All Guys
  Wanted to ask, my tfv4 mini current set are 0.65ohm, 400F and 25-30W and power on 4v to 4.18v. the first 10 puff giving me flawless flavors and Clouds, but after cold down period and firing back and take like few heavy puff I can taste the cotton are drying up and it start to burn. open up the cover and check the coil and cotton. It seem the middle of cotton always become black and dry up.

I have a clapton on 2.5mm with 6 wrap on a snow wolf btw.

Is it my cotton that cause it or my wicking got problem, or should I lower down the setting?
*
My noobie experience tells me it is not wicking fast enough. The cotton too tight in the middle?

Look out everybody. Uwell is releasing a new tank called Uwell Rafale Tank in the market soon. After the highly successful Uwell Crown tank, which I have two of, this really grab my attention. No word on the RBA section so, no. It's not included with the tank.
*
The mid section design looks like TFV4. It has proven to be a shit to handle for noobie like me. I am happy with the current crown.
