TANKS

Vape tanks are known by many different names such as clearomisers and atomisers, but tanks are more commonly what these go by. These are a vital aspect to vaping and are where the e-liquid is both stored and vaporised from offering many different experiences for matching users exact needs. There are many different types of tanks that come in all different shapes and sizes. For starter kits, most tanks are often found to be smaller with coils fixed without the ability to be changed, therefore making them perfect for delivering a satisfying nicotine hit and flavour delivery from nic salts or 50/50 e-liquids.

When it comes to intermediate kits as well as the more advanced kits, these can be removed and changed for many varieties of different tanks as they have a 510 pin compatible with these device types and often cater for more of a sub-ohm vaping experience suited for thicker high VG e-liquids with lower nicotine levels or as we call them - Shortfills. There are many options of tanks to choose from for each necessary experience, with each providing their own benefits individually. An example of a popular starter kit with a brilliant tank included is the Lost Vape Thelema Mini 45W UB Lite Tank Kit Edition, and a great example of a more advanced kit with a sub-ohm focused tank is the Vaporesso Armour Max Kit. Further heading into advanced territory, you have rebuildable tanks allowing for full customisation of every factor of your vaping experience.

What is a vape tank and what does it do?

A vape tank is a component of a vaporizer that holds the e-liquid and contains the coil (or heating element) that vaporizes the liquid, turning it into an inhalable vapor.

How do I fill my vape tank with e-liquid?

Most vape tanks are filled by unscrewing the top cap, adding e-liquid through the fill hole, and then screwing the top cap back on. Some tanks have a bottom-fill design where you unscrew the base to fill.

How often should I replace the coil in my vape tank?

The frequency of coil replacement depends on usage and the type of e-liquid used. Generally, coils should be replaced every 1-2 weeks to maintain optimal performance and flavor.

What is the difference between a top-fill and bottom-fill vape tank?

Top-fill tanks allow you to add e-liquid by unscrewing or sliding open the top part of the tank, while bottom-fill tanks require you to unscrew the base to fill them. Top-fill tanks are generally considered more convenient and less messy.

Can I use any e-liquid in my vape tank?

Yes, you can use any e-liquid in your vape tank, but it's important to choose the right viscosity and PG/VG ratio for your device to ensure proper wicking and avoid dry hits.

How do I clean my vape tank?

Regular cleaning is important to maintain flavor and performance. You can clean your tank by disassembling it, rinsing the parts with warm water or rubbing alcohol, and allowing them to dry completely before reassembling.

What is a sub-ohm tank and how is it different from a standard tank?

Sub-ohm tanks have coil resistances below 1.0 ohm, which allows for increased vapor production and a warmer vape. They are designed for direct-to-lung inhalation and are not suitable for mouth-to-lung vaping.

Can I rebuild the coil in my vape tank?

Some advanced tanks, known as rebuildable atomizers (RTAs), allow users to build their own coils and wick them with cotton. However, most standard tanks come with pre-built, replaceable coils that are not designed to be rebuilt.

How do I prevent leaks from my vape tank?

Leaks can be caused by a variety of issues, including overfilling, a loose tank assembly, or damaged O-rings. Ensure the tank is properly assembled and the O-rings are in good condition. Also, avoid overfilling and check that the tank is sealed correctly after filling.

What is the best vape tank for flavor?

The "best" tank for flavor can be subjective and depends on personal preference. However, tanks with adjustable airflow, quality coils, and a good seal to prevent leaks are generally preferred for better flavor. Look for tanks with a reputation for flavor production and read reviews to find one that suits your needs.
