Tanking Up

Subohm Tank Overview

Since the last entry in this blog the market has exploded with a plethora of high quality inexpensive sub-ohm tanks! It's no longer necessary to worry about fiddling with a drip tank to enjoy the best vaping experience.  Here are a few of the most highly rated sub-ohm tank offerings.  The airflow on all these tanks is exceptional and all offer the ability to adjust the airflow to your liking.  If you're not a big fan of huge airflow and prefer a 'mouth to lung' type vaping experience you may want to default to the Aspire Triton tank which comes with both a high output and low output coil right out of the box, or just pick up an Aspire Nautilus tank, which is still one of the most highly rated mouth-to-lung vaping experiences available.  All the tanks listed are 22mm in diameter and will mate perfectly with most all the batteries (mods) available at this time.  You will need to be aware of the specifications on your battery/mod and whether or not it will support the subohm coil in the tank of your choosing.  All these tanks feature coils that use organic cotton as a wicking material.  This list is not an exhaustive representation of all the great tanks out there but is representative of the top selling and easily available tanks on the market.  You may wish to add your favorite in the comments.

Aspire Triton

The latest offering from Aspire is the Triton tank.  In addition to a slightly larger juice capacity than their Atlantis II tank, the Triton offers a convenient top fill juice option as well as coming standard with both low (1.8 ohm) and high power (.5 ohm) output coils.  The Triton, unlike the previous Aspire subohm tanks allows for the use of custom drip tips. You'll pay somewhere north of forty dollars for this tank at a brick and mortar store but like all the tanks reviewed here, a good bit of money can be saved buying them online. You have the option of buying a rebuildable coil section with the Triton but it does not come packaged with the tank itself.  The normal lifespan of a subohm coil is between two and four weeks and is dependent on the type of juice used, the frequency of vaping and the power at which the coil is used.  Juice capacity of 3.5 ml.  Included coils .4 and 1.8 ohm.

Innokin iSub

The Innokin iSub is by far the least expensive offering in the subtank category but that said, it's still an excellent performer.  The iSub is available with either a polycarbonate or glass tank. If you chose the polycarbonate option you'll have a choice of colors to choose from.  The drip tip on the iSub is fixed and there is no option for customization.  In the past, there has been some concern over the durability of polycarbonate when using some of the more acidic e-juices but this problem seems to have been solved. I have seen no reports of issues with the polycarbonate iSub tank. You'll pay around twenty dollars for a polycarbonate iSub tank at the retail level.  There is no option for rebuilding your own coils with the iSub but their replacement coils are some of the least expensive on the market.  Juice capacity of 4.5 ml.  Included coil .5 ohm.

Kanger Mini

This is the third iteration of the Kanger subtank mini and a great option for those entering the subohm market.  Of the three listed here it is the only one that comes standard with a rebuildable coil option.  There have been some issue with leaking on the previous versions of this tank but I've seen no reports of that crop up with the latest version.  Juice capacity of 4.5 ml  Included coils .5 and 1.2 ohm.

Enjoy.
