Best Vape Tanks for 2025 – Top Picks & Reviews

By:

We’ve covered the best starter kits, as well as the best advanced kits so it was about time we covered tanks too. Once you get into more advanced vaping with a variable wattage mod, you’re open to a whole world of options in regard to tanks. While your mod and its output are important, the tank is where the real vaping magic happens. Choosing a vape tank allows you to refine how much vapour you want to be producing, look at more coil options, focus on flavour as well as control how much wattage you need to fire through.

We’ll cover some of the recent releases we think are worth looking at, as well as some classic tanks that are still worth as much consideration now as they were when they first came out. All these tanks have the standard 510 connection and will fit on a mod with the corresponding threading.

Whether you're new to vaping, are primarily interested in cloud-chasing, or are looking for a top-of-the-range tank or clearomizer, we're confident you'll find something that meets your needs within our list of the best vape tanks currently available in our store.

There are many factors you need to consider when buying a vape tank. Factors that will determine what the best vape tank is for your needs will include your level of experience, your budget, whether you're interested in or have experience with sub-ohm vaping, your cloud production requirements, your preferred level of flavour and your preferences in terms of style, size and design. Whether you require something designed for mobile use, a pocket-sized solution or something more bulky and powerful, options are available.

How Do I Choose The Best Tank For Me?

The best way to answer this question is pretty simple. Start by looking at your e-liquid. Certain e-liquids will only work properly in certain tanks due to how thick they are as well as how much nicotine they contain. If you’re using something like a nic salt or 50:50 e-liquid, you’ll want a mouth-to-lung tank. You'll want a Sub Ohm tank if you’re using something with a lower nicotine level and a higher VG content (read as 60% VG or more).

What's The Difference Between Mouth to Lung and Sub Ohm?

The key difference here is the inhalation style you’re using to vape with which in turn is dictated largely by your coil resistance. Mouth to lung tanks will have coil options that are 1.0ohm in resistance or more while Sub Ohm tanks will be (you guessed it) less than 1.0ohm. The lower the resistance, the more power can flow through the coil which in turn leads to more vapour and a less restricted inhale. Essentially, mouth to lung tanks need less wattage to fire while Sub Ohm tanks need to be paired with more powerful mods in order to get enough wattage to vaporise your e-liquid.

Mouth To Lung Tank Design

When you’re using a mouth to lung tank, you’ll be employing the same inhalation style as you would with a conventional cigarette. That is, drawing some vapour into your mouth, then inhaling down into your lungs. These tanks are typically the most popular amongst newer vapers looking for something that feels familiar, can handle a high nicotine level and give more of a throat hit feeling.

As far as design goes, starting from the top down, they’ll usually have a more narrow drip tip (the part you put in your mouth to inhale from). This serves to restrict the inhale further as well as enhancing flavour. At the base of the tank, you might also find adjustable airflow too. Turning the airflow one way or the other will either close down the vents or open them up, giving you more control over how tight a draw you can get. Mouth to lung tanks are typically less cloudy than Sub Ohm tanks, making them a more discreet option for when you’re out and about. They also tend to use less e-liquid so you won’t need to refill as often either.

Sub Ohm Tank Design

Sub Ohm vaping is also often referred to as direct to lung vaping. That means when you inhale, rather than letting the vapour sit in your mouth for a moment, you inhale more deeply straight into your lungs. It’s a much looser inhale and produces a significant amount more vapour - partly due to your lower resistance coil and partly due to more power being required to heat the coil. They’re often more flavourful as well as more cloudy while also offering a very mild throat hit.

Sub Ohm tanks will only ever be sold in a 2ml capacity at most and due to the fact they create more heat and vapour, they also chug through e-liquid much more quickly too. Their drip tips will typically be wider (510 or 810 are very common) to allow more airflow. The adjustable airflow at the base of the tank will also offer significantly more ventilation to allow for a deeper inhale.

Bearing all of that in mind, here are our top 8 tank picks from 2025 ranging from mouth to lung, to Sub Ohm as well as a few that can do both:

Best Vape Tanks for 2025

#3 SMOK T-Air Subtank
#4 Apire Nautilus 3 Vape Tank
#5 Innokin Zlide Vape Tank
#6 Aspire AF Vape Tank

Best DTL Tanks for Cloud Chasers

1. Voopoo Uforce-X Tank

KEY FEATURES:

Dimensions: 49.95mm x 25.5mm
Material: Stainless Steel/Glass
DTL Vaping
2ml Capacity
510 Connection
Top Filling
0.15ohm & 0.2ohm PnP X Coils Included
Compatible With High VG E-Liquid
510 ConnectionTop Adjustable Airflow

REASONS TO BUY:

✅ This tank is highly versatile, it is compatible with the full range of PNP X coils. Whether you are looking for an MTL, DTL or RDTL experience, this tank does it all! It, however, comes with two DTL coils to get started.
✅ Robust build, which limits the worry of accidental drops!
✅ Top-refilling allows for on-the-go refills, eliminating the need to remove the tank from the top of the mod.
✅ An adjustable airflow allows you to tailor the experience exactly to your liking.

REASONS TO AVOID:

❌ The size of the tank - some users have reported it to be quite bulky when fitted to a single battery device. Design-wise, it may look better paired with a double battery mod.

Personal Experience

I enjoyed my vaping experience with this tank. I started with the 0.15-ohm coil paired with my favourite High VG juice, Strawberry Kiwi by Seriously Fruity, and wow, this combo brought out notes of my favourite flavour that I hadn’t experienced before. There’s no shock as to why this has landed as #1.


2. Geek Vape Z Fli Sub Ohm Vape Tank

KEY FEATURES:

Threaded top fill
2ml e-liquid capacity
29mm diameter
Top adjustable airflow
Leakproof design
M-Series Coil Compatible
Plug-pull coils
510 connector
Wide-bore 810 drip tip

REASONS TO BUY:

✅ A perk of this tank is that it has a 510 thread, making it compatible with a range of vaping mods on the market.
✅ Comes with and includes XM series coils, which have an increased surface area. The flavour and coil span are exceptional.
✅ Has a leakproof design, say goodbye to sticky fingers!

REASONS TO AVOID:

❌ The wide-bore mouthpiece may not be for everyone. For users who prefer a daintier tip, this may not be ideal.
❌ Whilst the featured top airflow is great in preventing leaking, it doesn't provide the most discreet experience due to the loud noise it makes.

Personal Experience

Again, I used this tank and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The flavour this thing produced is unimaginable, the flavour levels are on par with an RDTA tank. I could still taste the base notes of my juice hours after. I’d say if you are in the market for a tank mainly for its flavour, this is your best bet!


3. SMOK T-Air Subtank

KEY FEATURES:

2ml Capacity
26.6mm Diameter
510 Thread Connection
Stainless Steel and Reinforced Pyrex Glass Construction
Adjustable Top Airflow System
Top Filling System

REASONS TO BUY:

✅ One thing I love about this tank is how easy it is to change the coils. To change an old coil, all you need to do is pull it out and push in a new one.
✅ Outstanding flavour delivery with very thick and silky clouds.
✅ It's stainless steel and reinforced pyrex glass construction make this tank incredibly robust and suitable for outdoor conditions.
✅ This tank also has a leakproof design with 5 rubber seals along the top refill and top airflow, so no more leaking!
✅ Comes with two mesh coils, x1 TA 0.15ohm dual coil, which is preinstalled and x1 TA 0.2ohm coil. Straight out of the box, users can experience a true dub-ohm experience with immaculate flavour present.

REASONS TO AVOID:

❌ High e-liquid consumption, due to the low resistance coils and high wattage requirement, some users have reported that this tank depletes e-liquid levels very quickly.
❌ Sensitive airflow control, accidental adjustments can happen. A common complaint reported by users of the tank.

Personal Experience

I used this tank over the last couple of weeks, and I must say the flavour delivery and vapour production are a dream. The only downside I would say is the amount of juice you can go through! I vaped through a 100ml in just short of a week.


Best MTL Tanks for Flavour

4. Aspire Nautilus 3 Vape Tank

KEY FEATURES:

2ml Capacity
24mm Diameter
Sliding Top-fill design
Adjustable Airflow - 7 Airflow Inlets
MTL or RDL vaping, depending on the coil
510 Thread Connection
Compatible with Nautilus BVC and Triton coils

REASONS TO BUY:

✅ Its sliding top-fill design makes it exceptionally easy to fill without the need to take apart the tank.
✅ Its push and pull mechanism for changing coils is simple, no need to stress out, making sure your coil is tight enough.
✅ Has seven airflow holes, enabling users to precisely refine the draw to their exact preference, choose between an MTL style draw or an RDTL draw with a quick rotation.
✅ Compatible with Nautilus BVC and Triton coils, with wide coil compatibility.
✅ Its stainless steel design makes this tank truly robust; no need to worry about accidental drops anymore!

REASONS TO AVOID:

❌ If you are looking for a versatile tank, this tank doesn't quite make the mark as it is solely suited to MTL/RDTL vaping and not DTL.
❌ Limited to 50/50 E-Liquids or Nicotine Salts, which is fine if you are looking for an MTL tank.
❌ The tank may look slightly bulky on smaller MTL mods that are currently on the market.

Personal Experience

The Aspire Nautilus 3 vape tank is, if I'm honest, probably the best MTL tank on the market currently. It's solidly built and robust, not only that, but the flavour is great for an MTL tank, especially when paired with the 0.7ohm mesh coils. The sliding top-fill mechanism was also highly convenient. It’s a yes from me.


5. Innokin Zlide Vape Tank

KEY FEATURES:

22mm Diameter
2ml E-liquid Capacity
510 Connection Point
MTL and DTL capable
Sliding Top Fill System
Bottom Dual Adjustable Airflow
Compatible With Z Coil Line

REASONS TO BUY:

✅ Sliding-top fill mechanism makes refills very easy. No need to dismantle the tank in order to fill. Filling on the go hasn't ever been easier.
✅ This tank is compatible with the entire Z coil range, from 0.3ohm to 1.6ohm, offering true versatility and choice for users.
✅ Has an airflow control which allows users to fine-tune the experience exactly to their liking.
✅ Constructed from stainless steel and Pyrex glass, the design is phenomenal. Who doesn't want a high-performing tank that looks great too?

REASONS TO AVOID:

❌ Some users have reported that the airflow valve isn't overly tight, it's more on the side of a looser inhale.
❌ Flavours can linger in the tank when switching e-liquid. A small workaround, but a con nonetheless.
❌ For those less mobile with their hands, this may be a con. Some users have reported that the airflow is difficult to open, especially when new.

Personal Experience

The Zlide tank is one of the most dependable MTL tanks on the market. If you are looking for a reliable MTL vape, this is your best bet. It vapes like a dream, the pull is smooth and the flavour is robust. Finding the Innokin Z coils was exceptionally simple as well, which is a highlight.


6. Aspire AF Vape Tank

KEY FEATURES:

2ml Capacity
23mm Diameter
Push Top-fill design
Adjustable Airflow
MTL, RDL or DTL vaping, depending on the coil
510 connector
Compatible with AF coils

REASONS TO BUY:

✅ Although we have it here in MTL tanks, it is versatile. It can be used for MTL, RDTL and DTL vaping.
✅ Compatible with the full range of AF coils. The coils that come with the kit are more suited for DTL vaping (for reference).
✅ A 22mm diameter allows the tank to sit comfortably on a range of mods without looking too bulky.
✅ Doesn’t make much noise, which is great if you are trying to remain incognito/discrete.

REASONS TO AVOID:

❌ Whilst the tank does support DTL vaping, the airflow and coil output don't quite compete with true sub-ohm tanks currently on the market.
❌ Flavour is good for an MTL tank however, the flavour may be more subtle when used as a DL tank. If you are looking for a sub-ohm tank with great flavour, please see the breakdown of sub-ohm tanks above.

Personal Experience

I gave it a real chance and it delivered! Which is why it made it to the top two of the MTL range. It’s so easy to fill and coil changes are seamless. The 0.6ohm AF coil delivered a silky, warm vape with moderate flavour production. One thing that did stand out, although it can be used for all styles, using a DTL coil with it felt flat in comparison to standalone sub-ohm tanks.


Best Budget-Friendly Tank

7. Innokin GO Z Tank

KEY FEATURES:

Diameter: 20mm
1.6ohm Integrated Coil
510 Threaded
E-Liquid Capacity: 2ml
Resistance range: 0.6ohm-3.5ohm
Sliding Top-Fill Design
PCTG Tank
Bottom Adjustable Airflow
Z coils for crisp flavour

REASONS TO BUY:

✅ The GO Z tank has a sliding top fill mechanism, refills are simple. You do not need to remove the tank before refilling, which comes in very handy when in pursuit.
✅ A bottom airflow control allows users to customise how much air flows through their vaping experience.
✅ Incredibly lightweight and compact, constructed from PCTG plastic.
✅ Very affordable, great for people just stepping into the vaping world who are unsure of making the switch and want to trial it out.

REASONS TO AVOID:

❌ Only compatible with 50/50 e-liquid or nicotine salts. High VG liquids will cause wicking issues and potential dry hits.

Personal Experience

Coming in at £4.95, the Innokin GO Z tank is not only affordable but also one of the smallest and simplest tanks I have ever used. Although it's straightforward to get your head around, it still includes everything you would want from a tank. It has a sliding top refill mechanism and an airflow control, allowing you to customise the experience even further. For the price, it’s a no-brainer.


Best High-End Premium Tank

8. Vaperz Cloud Shift Vape Tank

KEY FEATURES:

DTL vaping
2ml capacity
510 connection
Top filling
Compatible with High VG E-Liquid
Bottom adjustable airflow
Honeycomb airflow
26mm diameter
Magnetic quarter lock system

REASONS TO BUY:

✅ The Vaperz Cloud Shift vape tank delivers outstanding flavour production, it’s been reported to be so good it’s often compared to the flavour rebuildable atomisers deliver. This is due to the honeycomb airflow design.
✅ It is compatible with a series of different coils on the market, including the VC Tech Mesh Coils, Voopoo PNP and Vaporesso GTX coils.
✅ Simple to use, the quarter-turn cap makes the refilling process incredibly simple and mess-free.
✅ It is made from upgraded stainless steel, it is robust and the design is stunning, guaranteeing sustainability and a premium feel.

REASONS TO AVOID:

❌ Some users have said there is a potential for spitback, which is where you can get liquid in your mouth when inhaling. A small adjustment to the wattage and airflow control should eliminate this issue, however.
❌ Its 26mm diameter may look too bulky or not sit nicely on all mods, especially the more compact models.
❌ If you are just starting vaping, the price point may be too high, priced at £30.95.

Personal Experience

I must say I haven't experienced flavour like this in a very long time. The flavour is intense, no matter which liquid I used. I could taste notes and layers of the flavours I hadn't tasted before, and it vapes like a dream. The vapour is smooth yet dense. I think the price point personally makes sense once you test it out.
