I know that the DTv4 comes with a quartz crucible. I wanted to get extra titanium ones but they are sold out now. As a beginner should I get 3 extra quartz crucibles or should I get one SIC crucible? I’ve heard the SIC has had issues with falling off the mod which sounds dangerous.

The fix for the sic cup is easy to do if it is one of the faulty ones. You just squeeze the metal sleeve a bit where you see the crimp with needle nose and tap it back on. Take the cap off the device, set it on a table and The sic cup will fit upside down over the mouthpiece and act as a support while tapping to prevent breaking the cup. The sic cup is worth this minor inconvenience if it’s a bad one. You have a 90% chance there won’t even be a problem,
Get a SiC and wait for the TI to restock. It comes with 2 quartz so I wouldnt reccomend getting more unless you are going to rotate them or plan to break them lol. They should have more Ti in soon. Last time they ran out the restock was only a week or two I believe.
I’ve heard good things about the SiC but I haven’t tried. I used the quartz for a while and it was decent but I ordered a Ti and it was next level, feel like I wasted all the concentrate I did before I got the Ti cup.

In my opinion the order of what works from best to least is titanium, sic, quartz. The sic and quartz take a long time to preheat.
Sic. Sic sic sic. Get the to cuz it’s sturdy and quick. Put the quartz in a drawer. I hate thy at little cotter pin.
Sic
All three are basically a necessity once you get really into using the DTV4, may as well stock up now.
Per the “issues” with the SiC cup, remember you’re only seeing the ones that fail, not the x number that are working fine. Mine has been absolutely solid since day one and I haven’t looked back.
