Vape Tanks

Vaping tanks, sometimes referred to as an atomiser or simply ‘vape top’ are the part of the vape kit that contains the vape juice and the coil, which is the part that heats up the e-liquid and turns it into a vapour that the user inhales. An ecig tank is made up of several components - a drip tip, a top cap, a glass tube, a base and a coil.

• Drip Tip: Sometimes referred to as a mouthpiece. The section at the top of the device that you inhale from. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
• Top Cap: The part of the tank that houses the port used to fill it with e-liquid.
• Glass Tube: Often cylindrical in shape and is the part of the tank that contains the e-liquid.
• Coil: The part of the tank responsible for heating the e-liquid and turning it into a vapour.
• Base: The section at the bottom that connects the tank to the vape mod, often with a 510 connection pin.

E cig tanks work by using a coil to heat the vape juice that they contain, which in turn produces a vapour that is inhaled by the user.
Many vape tanks have a fill-port located at the top which you use to insert your e-liquid. They also have a vape coil (filter/atomiser) at the centre that soaks up the liquid using a cotton wick and vapourises it using a metallic heating element when the device is activated.

Types of vape tank

At Grey Haze we understand that our customers each have their own unique preferences, which is why we sell all different types of vape tanks -  to make sure that we cater to each and every type of vaper.

Sub-ohm vape tanks

A ‘Sub ohm tank’, also referred to as a Direct-to-Lung or DTL tank, is a tank that uses coils with a low resistance. They tend to be more powerful than other types of tanks and are able to provide thicker, larger clouds of vapour and a stronger hit. They perform best with high VG vape juices.

Mouth-to-Lung vape tanks

A mouth to lung tank, also known as a MTL tank, is a type of tank that uses coils with a higher resistance. As a result they produce less vapour, are less powerful and often have a tighter draw with an inhale that feels similar to smoking. MTL vaping is recommended for those who enjoy stronger nicotine,  and as such these ecig tanks should be used with 50/50 e-liquids like nicotine salts.

Rebuildable vape tanks

There are two types of rebuildable vape tank - an RDA and an RTA. 

RDA vape tanks (known as a rebuildable dripping atomizer or ‘drip tank’ for short) allow you to build and wick your own coil, but rather than containing e-liquid, instead the user must drip vape juice directly onto the coil and cotton itself.

RTA vape tanks, A.K.A rebuildable tank atomizer, is very similar to an RDA in the fact that you still need to build and wick the coil yourself - but RTAs are more convenient as they come with a glass cylinder that can be filled with e-liquid.

Disposable vape tanks

Disposable tanks, like the Innokin Go S tank are a type of refillable tank that come with a built-in coil that can’t be replaced. These tanks can be refilled and reused multiple times. Once you begin to notice a change in flavour you can dispose of the tank and replace it with a new one.
