Update!!!Uwell Crown Tank- anybody using one?

Hi. Took delivery todY of a nice new crown tank.
Superbly built but just set it up, primed the coil, filled it up and away we go[emoji3]
Problem is it gets very hot and it's messed up the voltage on my MVP 3 pro which is not reading correctly.

Is it normal for the tank to get really hot or is it a dodgy coil?

Any advice appreciated

Bought my first Crown tank a couple of months ago and I love it, so much so that I've bought quite a few of them and a load of coils.

I only vape at the 45-50w range, for me that gives great flavour. The bases of mine do get hot as I tend to chain vape with it in the evenings lol. I wouldn't worry too much about the tank base getting hot, that's perfectly normal tbh, especially if you're vaping at higher wattages.

Can't think why yours would mess up the voltage on your mod though -  unless you're using temp control and you forgot to set the resistance of the coil when it was at room temp. That'd mess with the readings. Love the Crown tank.

Thanks for replying.
I'm using an MVP 3.0. Pro which isn't a tc device. I only vape at 4.0v around 30w and been perfect with the iSub G tank it came with so I'm not pushing it I don't think. The isub stays cold and doesn't hold any heat that's why I'm concerned . Just had a few vapes and I can't even rest my lip on the bottom as its that hot. Is yours that hot ?
Cheers mate

Using a .25 coil in the crown

If the tank is getting too hot, at that low wattage then I suspect your airflow might not be sufficient. I use the 0.35 ohm coil at anywhere between 80-100w and have no problems with heat. The base get's a bit warm but not too hot to touch. How is your airflow set?

2nd click on mate so airflow is not fully open.
It's behaving a lot better but still gets quite warm.
The retailer is aware as I have sent them a message but no reply as yet although I suspect it will come back as normal.
Thanks

Spent a few days umming and arring over this Crown tank but decided to stick with it.
Was/am having issues with the heat it can generate but more so of late the burnt taste from coils. Having looked around the interweb s evens it's a common problem which is down to priming of the coil.
Once patiently primed it takes a while for flavour to come through but now it's settled down its great. Every vape full of flavour, the build quality is solid and top filling is a godsend over bottom fill.
Definatly recommend this tank as I will be getting another , just take your time with the coils.
Thanks

Yeah cant rush the coils more so with these as they are so big.
Anazing tank, had no issues with heating up, even at 80  watts i had a dozen consectutive blasts and was only a tiny fraction warm no more than other tanks can.
Try using full airflow this tank dont have massive flow even full, less than my triton does anyway.

Yeah mate think I've sussed the coils. Still tastes funny at the start but once broken in its lovely.
Still gets quite hot at times but I'm riding it out [emoji3]
Cheers

Highly recommend using this video as a guide to breaking the Crown coils in. Using this method I've never had a problem with a coil and they've all lasted at least 2 weeks for me.
