Question 1

What Is A Vape Tank?

Accepted Answer

A vape tank is basically the business end of your vape kit. It holds e-liquid, heats it up and turns it into the vapour you inhale. Although all vape kits come with a tank included, the majority of tanks are interchangeable. You can pair your tank with almost any mod as long as it has a 510 connection and a suitable wattage output. This means you can customise your vaping experience simply by picking a new tank.

Question 2

How Does A Vape Tank Work?

Accepted Answer

Inside every vape tank is a heating element called a coil. Your device sends power to the coil, which is then converted to heat. The coil will heat up enough to vapourise the e-liquid which you then inhale. The coil will need to be replaced (unless you use a disposable tank) when either the vapour production decreases or you notice the flavour of your e-liquid deteriorate.

Question 3

What Is A Mouth To Lung (MTL Tank)?

Accepted Answer

A Mouth To Lung (or MTL) vaping style replicates how most people smoke a cigarette. The vapour is first drawn into your mouth and then inhaled into your lungs. This style is often favoured by new switchers because it emulates the smoking experience and makes it easier to transition to vaping. As a general rule, mouth to lung tanks will produce less vapour than sub-ohm tanks and are a more discreet/stealthy option.

Question 4

What Is A Sub Ohm Tank?

Accepted Answer

Sub Ohm vape tanks allow you to use a direct to lung vaping style - more akin to a hookah / shisha pipe. Instead of drawing the vapour into your mouth first, you inhale it directly into your lungs. They are called 'Sub Ohm' because the resistance of the coils they use is below 1.0 Ohm.

Question 5

What Is A Disposable Tank?

Accepted Answer

Disposable tanks are the perfect solution for anyone who doesn't want to deal with tank maintenance. Simply use the tank as normal and replace it when the coil burns out. They can be refilled with the e-liquid of your choice multiple times and often have features such as adjustable airflow. Disposable tanks are also a fantastic back-up to have in your bag in case your regular tank runs into any problems.

Question 6

What Is A Rebuildable Tank?

Accepted Answer

Rebuildable tanks are aimed at very advanced vapers, and you will need a very good knowledge of Ohm's Law and battery safety to use them safely. However, the advantages of a rebuildable tank are that they give you the ultimate in customisation. The 'rebuildable' name stems from the fact that you build your own coils and wicks - which means you can pick any resistance you like.

Question 7

What Is Adjustable Airflow?

Accepted Answer

Adjustable airflow is a great way to control the flow of vapour through your tank, this means you can experience a tighter or looser inhale. Adjustable airflow tanks can also be used to change both the level of throat hit you'll experience and how warm your vape will be.

Question 8

What Is A Top Fill Tank?

Accepted Answer

Top filling tanks make the everyday task of refilling so much easier. Whereas traditional bottom fill tanks would have to be removed from your device and taken apart, the top fill tank lets you refill by just sliding or unscrewing the top section. It's no wonder top-filling tanks are becoming the norm.

Question 9

What Is A Drip Tip?

Accepted Answer

The 'Drip Tip' is another name for the mouthpiece of your tank. Sometimes overlooked, picking the right drip tip can dramatically change your tank's performance. They are available in two sizes: 810 or 510. 810 drip tips are wider and allow for a deeper inhale, while 510 drip tips are narrower for a tighter inhale and warmer vape overall.
