Best Vaping Subohm Tanks (Mesh and Coil Based Subohm Tanks)

1. Geekvape Zeus Sub Ohm Tank (Best Sub Ohm Tank)

Following on from the successful RTA range Geekvape moved the Zeus into stock coil territory.

Like the popular RTA version this has the top airflow design which should minimise the chance of any leakage from the airflow inlets. The airflow is of course fully adjustable and during our review the leak proof airflow system seemed to do its job!

Also on review the quality of the tank really impressed as did the flavour with either of the supplied coils. You get a Kanthal mesh 0.4ohm and 0.2ohm coil included.

Talking of coils these are a simple push in and pull out design. There were zero issues with wicking or dry hits.

Features

Top adjustable airflow inlets – leak proof
Excellent flavour and performance
Easy to change coils
5ml capacity bubble glass option

2.Smok TFV16 (Best Vape Tank For Clouds)

The TFV16 is a huge monster of a tank – boasting a maximum 9ml e-liquid capacity and is 28mm in diameter.

Obviously the size might have to influence the mod you can use this on without overhang!

A new range of coils were created for this including single, dual and triple mesh coil versions. The single and Dual can be used at power levels up to 120W!

To accommodate larger airflow inlets the height of the base was increased and there are two large slotted inlets which can be opened or closed with the adjustment ring to your preference. The big airflow seemed to really kick up the flavour and vapour production in our review.

The top fill cap has a button to lock and has be redesigned so that the gasket is now below the swing cap to make access to the fill port easier and prevent leaks from the top.

What is A Vape Tank?

The build and parts of a vape tank can differ from tanks to tank but the general idea is the same.

The tank above is made up of 5 main components.

Mouthpiece (You may also see this referred to as a drip tip)
Top cap/Atomizer tube (Chimney) – These are one machined piece. Although with many sub ohm tanks today the coil acts as the atomizer tube (chimney) and the top cap is a single piece.
Glass tube.
Coil/atomizer head
Tank/atomizer base.

For new vapers it may look like a lot of moving parts but it really is quite simple. The only time you will see your tank in bits will be when cleaning.

The tank will not work without the coil head. The coil head contains a wire coil that is wrapped in cotton (wicking material). When you fill a tank the cotton soaks up the e-liquid.

When you press the fire button on a mod it heats up the wire coil which in turn vaporizes the e-liquid on the cotton. This is what produces the vapour you inhale.

Vape Tank Buying Guide

Before buying any kind of vape tank you first need to decide what kind of vaper you are.

This is very important. There are two main types of vaping style.

Mouth to Lung (MTL)
Direct to Lung (DTL) – These are predominantly sub ohm tanks.

So which way do you vape? We have a full MTL and DTL vape guide here.

Let’s give a very brief overview.

Are You a MTL or DTL Vaper?

MTL Tanks:

Mouth to lung vaping is where most new vapers start with their first e cig kits. This is due to it being the way most people smoke cigarettes. Inhale into the mouth and then to the lungs.

Vape tanks for mouth to lung operate with higher resistance coils (1.0Ohm+) at lower wattage. Generally no more than 18/20W. They also come with a narrow mouthpiece to restrict the draw you take.

MTL Tanks, as a general rule of thumb, work better with Nic Salt e-liquids and PG/VG e-liquids that have a max ratio of 60VG/40PG. 50/50 is generally recommended.

DTL Tanks:

Direct to Lung vaping is usually a ‘next step’ in a vapers journey. This vaping style requires you to draw the vapour directly into the lungs. No holding the vapour in the mouth first.

For new vapers this can really take a bit of getting used to.

Vape tanks for DTL have lower resistance coils (0.5Ohm and below) and tend to operate at higher wattages, generally anywhere above 30W dependent on the coil.

These tanks have a wider bore mouthpiece that allows that vapour to flow freely.

DTL (sub ohm tanks), as a general rule of thumb, work better with e-liquids with a PG/VG ratio over 60VG/40PG. 70VG / 30PG is one of the most popular ratios for sub ohm vaping.

That’s simple right? Good stuff.

As you can see it’s not just a case of buying a vape tank. You need to take a few factors into consideration.

Can I Use Any Vape Mod For Any Vape Tank?

Good question. In short, no you can’t.

The first thing you need to take into account when choosing a vape mod to go with a tank or vice versa is if the mod will work with the tank you have.

How Do We Know if the Tank Will Work With My Vape Mod?

Check the coil resistance (Ohms) and recommended wattage of the coil that comes with your vape tank. The coil resistance is generally displayed on the coil itself.

If not it will be on the packaging. As an example you may see the coil display the following:

1.8Ohm
1.2Ohm
0.8Ohm
0.5Ohm
0.3Ohm
0.15Ohm

Once you know the resistance/ohms of your coil you then need to check for two things on your vape mod.

The minimum resistance the box mod will work at.
The maximum wattage the mod will operate.

You will find this information on the spec sheet of the mod you have or are going to buy.

Try to Keep Well Within The Mods Max Wattage

So if you have a coil where the recommended wattage is 70-80W (and you actually vape within this range) and your vape mod only outputs a max of 80W the battery life will likely suffer. Reason being you are operating the mod at its maximum that will drain the battery quicker.

We recommend leaving plenty of wattage wiggle room and not firing at the mods maximum as your go-to vape. Yeah sure it’s OK to do on occasion but with the example above we would recommend using a mod that has a minimum of 100/120W output.

Looks Matter?

I’m not talking about how pretty your mod and tank combo is, although it’s always nice to have a great looking setup.

What we are talking about here is the diameter of the tank and mod.

Diameter of the Tank

Look out for the diameter of the vape tank and what diameter tanks the mod will fit.

Now you might not mind your tank overhanging your mod slightly, but if you do here’s what to look out for.

The diameter of a tank will be on the mod specs.

To see if the tank will fit onto a vape mod, again, check out the specs. You will be looking for the smallest measurement on the dimensions.
