Vape Tanks - Best Sub Ohm & MTL Vape Tanks at Best Price

Vape tanks are crucial to any vaping setup. They hold the e-liquid and house the coil, allowing the vapour to be produced when the coil heats up. Choosing the right tank can significantly impact your vaping experience, whether you prefer strong throat hits, massive clouds, or smooth nicotine delivery.

What Are Vape Tanks?

A vape tank is part of a Vape Device that holds the E-Liquid and delivers vapour through the mouthpiece. It contains the Coil, which heats the e-liquid, turning it into vapour.

Main features of a vape tank:

  1. E-liquid Capacity – Determines how much e-liquid it can hold before needing a refill.
  2. Coil Compatibility – Different tanks support different types of coils, affecting vapour production and flavour.
  3. Adjustable Airflow – Allows users to control the draw resistance, making it tighter or looser.
  4. Refill System – This can be top-fill or bottom-fill, impacting convenience and leakage risks.

Types of Vape Tanks

There are various types of vape tanks, each designed for different vaping styles:

1. MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) Tanks

MTL tanks are ideal for beginners and ex-smokers as they mimic the sensation of smoking a cigarette. They work with high-resistance coils and low wattage, providing a stronger throat hit and using less e-liquid.

✔ Best for nicotine salts and higher nicotine strengths.

2. DTL (Direct-to-Lung) Tanks

DTL tanks produce large vapour clouds and are commonly used by experienced vapers. They require sub-ohm coils (low resistance) and high-wattage devices.

✔ Best for high VG e-liquids and cloud chasing.

3. Sub-Ohm Tanks

Sub-ohm tanks use low-resistance coils (below 1.0 ohm) and high power for massive vapour production and rich flavour.

✔ Best for vapers who enjoy dense clouds and intense flavour.

4. Rebuildable Tanks (RTA, RDTA, RDA)

  • RTA (Rebuildable Tank Atomizer): Allows users to build their own coils but still has a tank for e-liquid storage.
  • RDTA (Rebuildable Dripping Tank Atomizer): Combines an RDA with a small tank for a dripping experience with less hassle.
  • RDA (Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer): This atomizer requires manually dripping e-liquid onto the coil, providing the best flavour but needing frequent refills.

✔ Best for experienced vapers who want full control over their setup.

MTL vs. DTL Tanks: Which One to Choose?

Feature MTL Tanks DTL Tanks
Draw Style Tight, like a cigarette Loose, like taking a deep breath
Coil Resistance 1.0 ohm or higher Below 1.0 ohm (sub-ohm)
E-Liquid Use Low High
Vapour Production Small amount Large clouds
Best For Nic salts, high nicotine High VG, low nicotine

 

✔ If you want a cigarette-like draw, go for an MTL tank.
✔ If you enjoy big clouds and strong flavour, pick a DTL tank.

How to Choose the Best Vape Tank?

When choosing a vape tank, consider:

  1. Your vaping style – Do you prefer a tight or airy draw?
  2. E-liquid type – High VG works best with sub-ohm tanks, while high PG is ideal for MTL tanks.
  3. Ease of use – Top-fill tanks are more convenient for refilling.
  4. Airflow control – Adjustable airflow lets you fine-tune your draw.
  5. Coil compatibility – Check if the tank supports the coils you want.

Choosing A Replacement Vape Tank

Match the tank to your vaping style: sub-ohm tanks (like the Aspire Cleito Pro) use low-resistance coils and open airflow for shortfill e-liquid, while smaller pod-style tanks use higher-resistance coils for nic salts. Check e-liquid capacity too — most tanks hold 2-5ml, with UK TPD capping sub-ohm tanks that don't meet exemption criteria at similar limits to pod systems in some cases, so check current capacity against your refill habits. A cracked glass section or a tank that won't seal properly even with a new coil fitted is usually a sign you need a replacement tank rather than just a new coil.

Innokin, Aspire, Vaporesso and SMOK tanks across both vaping styles.

This collection covers replacement and standalone vape tanks across Innokin, Aspire, Vaporesso, SMOK, VOOPOO and ELeaf, spanning both sub-ohm and MTL-style designs.

Tanks differ in e-liquid capacity, airflow adjustment and coil compatibility — a sub-ohm tank like the Aspire Cleito Pro suits shortfill e-liquid, while smaller pod-style tanks suit nic salts.

Buying a standalone tank (rather than replacement coils alone) is worth considering if your current tank is cracked, leaking structurally, or you want a different airflow/capacity than your existing setup.
