What Are The Best Beginner Vape Tanks To Buy In 2024?

Beginner vape tanks offer a great introduction into the world of vaping, but with so much choice available deciding on the right one can be a confusing issue. These tanks, whilst predominantly aimed at users switching over from smoking and who are starting their vaping journey, are also very popular with more experienced vapers due to their simple operation and resolute performance.

The majority of beginner vape tanks offer a MTL (Mouth To Lung) inhale, which basically replicates the notion of smoking a cigarette. This means when vapour is inhaled, it enters the mouth and is then further inhaled into the lungs in a two-step process. There are a few beginner vape tanks that can also offer a DTL (Direct To Lung) inhale, which is where vapour is inhaled straight to the lungs.

These vape tanks usually are a bit more advanced in nature, requiring mods with features such as variable wattage in order for the user to have the best experience from the tanks. For more information on sub ohm vaping, check out our short guide on sub ohm vaping.

From the bestselling brands on the market as well as some of our personal favourites, here’s our rundown of the best beginner vape tanks on the market:

The Endura T20-S has been a mainstay on many best vape tank lists for a good few years now, highlighting its relevance and great performance. It also offers a great introduction to vaping, especially for new users. A durable stainless steel construction provides resilience as well as a refined style whilst the T20-S' simple operation makes this vape tank incredibly easy to use and maintain. This is highlighted by the ‘No Spill Coil Swap' system for a hassle-free installation of coils, as well as the practical top fill method which greatly reduces the chance of leakage.

Thanks to inhale activation, you can use the Mate 500 vape device without pushing a button or clicking through any menu screens. Just puff on the mouthpiece and it'll create a discreet amount of vapour for an MTL vape. This style of vaping replicates the feeling of a cigarette, so it's perfect for new vapers looking to switch from smoking.

The T20-S comes with a 1.5 Ohm coil, ideal for beginners, as well as a 0.8 Ohm coil which creates more vapour. This means that users can effectively keep the same tank as they gain more experience and work their way up to more lower resistance, DTL vaping should they wish to do so.
