Vape Tanks

A sub-ohm tank is a vape tank designed to use low-resistance coils. These coils heat faster and produce bigger clouds of vapour. Sub-ohm tanks are ideal for direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping and feature mesh coils.
Popular sub-ohm tanks are: the Uwell Valyrian 2 Tank and Crown IV Sub-Ohm Tank by Uwell.

An MTL tank is designed for mouth-to-lung vaping, where the vapour is first drawn into the mouth and then inhaled into the lungs. These tanks use coils with higher resistance (above or equal to 1.0 ohm). Vape tanks like the Aspire K3 Tank and Innokin GO Z Tank are popular MTL options. They offer longer coil life and lower power consumption, which makes them ideal for smokers switching to vaping.

Sub-ohm tanks perform best with e-liquids that have a higher vegetable glycerin (VG) content, 70% VG or more. Higher VG liquids produce thicker vapour and help keep the coil saturated.

Furthermore, fruity and menthol flavours often complement sub-ohm tanks well because they provide a clear taste without too much residue buildup. On the other hand, MTL vaping tanks are great for high PG content and 1.0-ohm coil resistances.

An RTA tank is a vape tank that allows users to build and install their own coils and wick cotton inside the tank. RTAs give vapers the freedom to customise their vaping experience by choosing coil type, resistance, and wick density. RTAs are popular among advanced vapers. Examples include the Voopoo PnP RTA Pod Tank.

Before choosing an RTA, consider your skill level, as coil building requires practice. You’ll need tools like wire cutters, coil jigs, and cotton wicks. Also, be ready to maintain the tank regularly to avoid leaks or burnt wicks. Look for RTAs with easy-to-build decks and good airflow options to match your vaping style.

RTA tanks offer flexibility and cost savings, since you don’t need to buy pre-made options every time the coil burns out. Users can build coils to their preferred resistance and style and adjust airflow to fine-tune flavour and vapour. However, RTAs require more knowledge and maintenance, including coil building and regular cleaning.
