Vape Tanks
The tank is the engine of your vape kit, directly responsible for flavour production, airflow control, and cloud density. Whether you need a replacement for a shattered glass tank, or you are looking to upgrade your current box mod with a high-performance Sub-Ohm beast, our collection of Vape Tanks has you covered. Shop precision-engineered, UK TPD-compliant 2ml tanks from the industry's top manufacturers, including the legendary Geekvape Z series, HorizonTech Falcon, and the incredibly reliable Innokin Zlide.
The Anatomy of a Modern Vape Tank
Understanding how your tank operates is the key to getting the best flavour out of your e-liquid. A modern vape tank consists of four primary components:
- The Drip Tip: The mouthpiece at the top. Narrow drip tips (510) are used for MTL vaping, while wide-bore drip tips (810) are used for airy Sub-Ohm vaping.
- The Glass Section: The reservoir that holds your e-liquid. Under UK TPD law, this is legally restricted to a maximum capacity of 2ml.
- The Coil: The heating element housed in the centre of the tank. This is the part you regularly replace when it burns out.
- The Airflow Control Ring (AFC): Located at the base (or top) of the tank, allowing you to twist and adjust how tight or airy the draw feels.
Sub-Ohm Tanks vs MTL Tanks
Tanks are strictly divided into two categories based on the type of coil they use. It is critical that you buy the correct tank for the type of e-liquid you intend to vape.
| Tank Type | Airflow & Draw | Required E-Liquid |
|---|---|---|
| Sub-Ohm Tank (DTL) | Wide open, airy, massive clouds | 70/30 High VG Shortfills (Thick) |
| MTL Tank | Tight, restricted, cigarette-like | 50/50 Nic Salts or Freebase (Thin) |
Top Airflow vs Bottom Airflow
When selecting a tank, pay close attention to where the airflow intake slots are located. Bottom Airflow tanks direct air straight up through the bottom of the coil, which traditionally provides slightly better flavour, but they are prone to leaking if the coil floods. Top Airflow tanks (like the Geekvape Zeus) route air from the top down through an internal chamber. Because gravity pulls the liquid down, top airflow tanks are virtually 100% leak-proof.
Vape Tanks FAQs
Will this tank fit on my battery?
Almost certainly. 99% of modern vape tanks and box mods use a universal "510 thread" connection. As long as your battery has a standard screw-in 510 plate on the top, any tank in this collection will screw on perfectly.
Why is my new tank leaking from the airflow holes?
Leaking usually occurs because the coil was not pushed in firmly enough, the O-ring seals are damaged, or you are using thin 50/50 e-liquid in a high-powered Sub-Ohm tank with large wicking ports.
Can I buy a tank larger than 2ml?
Under UK TRPR regulations, no retailer can legally sell a vape tank with a capacity greater than 2ml. However, many vapers buy "bubble glass" extensions separately to increase the capacity of their tanks post-purchase.
How do I prime a new tank coil?
Before firing a brand new coil, drop 3 to 4 drops of e-liquid directly onto the exposed cotton inside the coil. Install the coil, fill the tank, and let it sit for 10 minutes to ensure the cotton is fully saturated. This prevents dry hits.
Are mesh coils better than standard wire coils?
Yes. Mesh coils heat up much faster and cover a larger surface area of cotton compared to traditional spiralled wire coils. This results in significantly richer flavour and longer-lasting coil life.
