What is a Vape Tank?
A vape tank is a key part of your vaping setup, designed to hold e-liquid and house the coil that heats it to produce vapour. Most tanks use a 510 connector, a small threaded peg at the bottom that lets you attach the tank to your battery. This standard connection allows vapers to mix and match tanks and mods across different brands—for example, pairing a SMOK tank with a Vaporesso mod.
Vape tanks consist of several key parts:
- Drip Tip: The mouthpiece that comes in various sizes for flavour or vapour production.
- Top Cap: The part that opens for refilling e-liquid.
- Glass Cylinder: Holds the e-liquid.
- Base: Connects to the battery and typically contains the air vents.
- Coil: Heats the e-liquid to produce vapour.
A vape tank functions by holding e-liquid and heating it with the coil to create vapour. Most tanks feature a top-fill design, making it easy to pour e-liquid into the slot. The coil absorbs the liquid, and when you press the firing button—or inhale, depending on your device—the battery heats the coil, turning the e-liquid into vapour.
What is the difference between MTL tanks and Sub Ohm Tanks?
The key difference lies in the vaping technique. Mouth-to-lung (MTL) tanks are ideal for ex-smokers seeking a cigarette-like experience, drawing vapour into the mouth before inhaling it into the lungs. They usually provide more flavour than dense vapour. Sub-ohm tanks, on the other hand, excel at producing large clouds of vapour, using ultra-low resistance coils (less than 1 ohm) for powerful direct-to-lung hits.
What is the best Vape Tank in the UK?
For Beginners: If you’re new to vaping, there are plenty of affordable vape tanks and starter kits to help you get started. We offer entry-level tanks suitable for both MTL and DTL styles, allowing you to get comfortable with vaping before progressing to more advanced setups like RDAs or RTAs.
For Flavour: If flavour is your priority, choose tanks with bottom-coil atomisers, renowned for delivering rich, satisfying taste. Sub-ohm tanks also excel at enhancing flavour. Experienced vapers can explore rebuildable atomisers for greater control, and using organic cotton for wicking ensures a chemical-free, safe vaping experience.Top Tips for Maximising Flavour
For the best flavour, store e-liquids in a dark, cool area to preserve their taste, and always use high-quality wicking materials like organic cotton.
