What is a Vape Tank?
Vape tanks serve as the crucial component that holds your e-liquid and coil while connecting to your device. These essential parts feature a mouthpiece (drip tip) that helps cool vapour before inhalation, and most include adjustable airflow to customise your vaping experience. Typically attached via a standardised 510-connection, tanks offer impressive versatility, allowing you to pair them with compatible devices from various manufacturers. This interchangeability means you can find your perfect combination of tank and device to suit your preferences. At Vapouriz, we stock quality tanks from respected brands like Aspire, GeekVape, SMOK and Vaporesso, ensuring excellent performance regardless of your vaping style or experience level.
What Types of Vape Tanks Are Available?
Vape tanks come in three primary varieties to suit different preferences and experience levels. Standard tanks offer user-friendly operation with easily replaceable coils that either push-fit or screw into place—perfect for most vapers seeking convenience. For enthusiasts, Rebuildable Dripping Atomisers (RDAs) allow for custom coil building using wire and cotton, offering superior flavour but requiring technical knowledge. Rebuildable Tank Atomisers (RTAs) combine the benefits of both, featuring a tank reservoir while allowing for custom coil installation. Each type offers distinct advantages in terms of flavour production, cloud generation, and maintenance requirements. Vapouriz offers options across all categories from brands like Uwell, Oxva and VooPoo.
How Do You Use a Vape Tank?
Using a vape tank effectively begins with selecting a compatible coil for your device. After installing the coil, ensure your tank is properly sealed before filling with your preferred e-liquid. UK regulations limit tank capacity to 2ml under TPD legislation. Allow the filled tank to sit for approximately 10 minutes, giving the wick material time to saturate fully—this prevents burnt flavours and spitback. Next, attach your tank to your device and adjust the wattage to match your coil's recommended range. Finally, adjust the airflow to achieve your desired vaping style, from an airy draw to a more restricted experience. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and flavour.
How Does a Vape Tank Work?
Vape tanks function through a simple but effective process. When you activate your device, the battery powers the coil inside your tank, heating it rapidly. This heat vaporises the e-liquid that has saturated the cotton wick surrounding the coil. As you inhale through the mouthpiece, you draw this vapour into your mouth or lungs, depending on your preferred technique. The adjustable airflow ring allows you to control how much air mixes with the vapour, affecting both flavour intensity and vapour temperature. Different coil resistances and designs can dramatically alter the vaping experience, with lower resistance coils typically producing more vapour at higher wattages.
What Is the Difference Between MTL and DTL Tanks?
MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) tanks create an experience similar to traditional cigarettes, where vapour is first drawn into the mouth before inhaling to the lungs. These tanks feature higher-resistance coils (above 1.0ohm), more restricted airflow, and work best with high-PG, 50/50, or nicotine salt e-liquids. They deliver pronounced flavour with modest vapour production, making them ideal for discreet vaping. Conversely, DTL (Direct-to-Lung) tanks, often called sub-ohm tanks, use lower-resistance coils (below 1.0ohm) for direct inhalation to the lungs. They produce substantial vapour clouds when paired with High-VG e-liquids and higher wattages, offering a different satisfaction focused on smooth, dense vapour production.
How Do I Choose the Right Tank?
Selecting the ideal tank depends primarily on your vaping goals and experience level. For those new to vaping or seeking a familiar draw similar to traditional cigarettes, MTL tanks from brands like Aspire or Innokin provide an excellent starting point with straightforward operation. Cloud enthusiasts might prefer sub-ohm DTL tanks from SMOK or GeekVape for their impressive vapour production. Consider factors like ease of coil replacement, top-fill mechanisms for convenient refilling, and leak-resistant designs for everyday use. Tank compatibility with your existing device is also crucial—check the connection type and recommended wattage range.
