Vape Tanks: Understanding Different Types and Their Uses

Tanks are vital components of vape devices that hold e-liquid, manage airflow, and house coils. They play a significant role in flavor, vapor production, and overall vaping experience. Here’s an overview of various tank types, their features, and their advantages. 

Types of Tanks

Standard Vape Tanks

Traditional tanks are refillable and usually have adjustable airflow, allowing users to control vapor production and throat hit.

  • Compatibility: Standard tanks are compatible with both freebase and salt nicotine, depending on the coil used. Ideal for both mouth-to-lung (MTL) and direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping styles.

Features:

  • Replaceable coil heads
  • Adjustable airflow for a customizable experience

Pros: Durable and reusable, with various coil options to suit different preferences.
Cons: Requires maintenance, such as cleaning and coil replacements.

Pod Tanks

Pod tanks combine features of both pods and traditional tanks. They are often found on hybrid devices and are compatible with both pod mods and standard mods.

  • Compatibility: Suitable for salt nicotine and freebase, depending on the device and coil used.

Features:

  • Magnetically attached to devices in many cases
  • Refillable with interchangeable coils

Pros: User-friendly, with easy coil changes and refilling; versatile for different nicotine types.
Cons: Smaller e-liquid capacity compared to standard tanks; may have limited airflow control.

Rebuildable Dripping Atomizers (RDAs)

RDAs are tanks designed for advanced vapers who prefer to build and customize their own coils. Unlike traditional tanks, RDAs don’t have a reservoir, so users manually add e-liquid, known as “dripping.”

  • Compatibility: Popular with DTL users and advanced vapers who seek intense flavor and large vapor production.

Features:

  • Customizable coil builds
  • Typically open-airflow design

Pros: Exceptional flavor control and intense vapor production; allows for coil customization.
Cons: Requires frequent dripping of e-liquid; not suitable for beginners.
