Rebuildable Tanks

A rebuildable vape tank is a type of atomiser that lets you build and install your own coils. Unlike standard tanks with replaceable coil heads, you create the coil setup yourself for a more personalised vape.

The main types are RTA (rebuildable tank atomiser), RDTA (rebuildable dripping tank atomiser) and RBA sections for compatible tanks. Each offers different ways to build and wick depending on how you like to vape.

They are best suited for intermediate to advanced vapers. You’ll need to know how to build and wick coils safely, and how to check your resistance on a regulated mod or ohm reader.

You get full control over your coil builds, better flavour and vapour production, and long-term cost savings compared to buying prebuilt coils.

It can seem tricky at first, but with the right tools and a bit of practice, it becomes second nature. Many vapers find it enjoyable and rewarding.

Common choices include Kanthal, stainless steel and nichrome. Each has slightly different properties in terms of flavour, ramp-up time and compatibility with temperature control.

Handmade coils can last for weeks with proper cleaning and rewicking. You only need to replace them when they degrade or start affecting the flavour.

Yes, if they’re not wicked correctly or overfilled. Learning how to wick your coils properly is key to preventing leaks and getting consistent performance.
