Choosing the Right Vape Tank

The choice usually comes down to how you want to draw on the device. MTL tanks pull air through a tight airway, which mimics a cigarette and works well with nic salts and 50VG e liquids at lower wattages. Sub ohm tanks have wide airflow for a direct to lung draw, so they suit higher wattage mods and thicker 70VG shortfills with lower nicotine. Once you know which style fits your current kit and how you actually vape day to day, the rest of the spec follows naturally.
Right for you if Shoppers who already know their device wattage range and whether they prefer a cigarette style draw or a fuller direct to lung hit.
Wrong for you if If you're brand new and don't yet own a device, start with our vape kits instead so the tank, coil and battery are matched out of the box.

MTL Tanks for a Tighter Draw

MTL tanks are the natural pick if you're moving across from cigarettes or stepping up from disposables. The airflow is narrow, the coils sit at higher resistance (usually 0.8 ohm and above), and they run happily at 10W to 25W on smaller pen style kits. That setup gets the best out of nic salts and 50VG e liquids, giving you a smooth throat hit, honest flavour and discreet vapour. Tank capacity is capped at 2ml under UK rules, so expect to top up through the day.

Sub Ohm Tanks for Bigger Clouds

Sub ohm tanks are built for direct to lung vaping, where you pull vapour straight into your lungs like a deep breath. Coils sit below 1.0 ohm, often around 0.15 to 0.4 ohm, and need a mod that can safely push 40W to 80W or more. Pair them with 70VG shortfills and 3mg or 6mg nicotine for thick clouds and bold flavour. Airflow rings are wide and adjustable, so you can fine tune the draw, but always check your mod's wattage range matches the coil before firing.
Right for you if Experienced vapers running a regulated mod with headroom in the wattage range and using 70VG shortfills with lower nicotine.
Wrong for you if Recent ex smokers on nic salts or a small pod kit, since the airflow is too loose and the nicotine delivery will feel harsh; an MTL tank will serve you far better.

Coils, Glass and Tank Maintenance

A tank is only as good as the coil inside it, so plan on swapping coils every one to two weeks depending on use and e liquid. Prime each new coil by dripping a few drops onto the exposed cotton and letting it sit filled for five to ten minutes, which stops that horrible burnt first puff. Rinse the tank under warm water every couple of weeks and check the O rings for wear. You'll find replacement vape coils and spare glass, drip tips and seals in our vape accessories collection.

About Our Range

Vape Tanks UK

The Vape House is a UK destination for vape tanks, covering MTL tanks, sub ohm tanks, refillable tanks and replacement tanks for compatible vape kits. A vape tank holds your e liquid, houses the coil that heats it, and connects to a battery or mod, usually through a standard 510 threaded connection. Some pod systems use proprietary pods rather than tanks, so check your device before ordering.

MTL or Sub Ohm: The Main Decision

The biggest choice is how you want to vape. MTL tanks suit a tighter cigarette style draw, lower wattages around 10W to 25W, nic salts, 50VG e liquids and most recent ex smokers. Sub ohm tanks suit direct to lung vaping, bigger vapour production, higher wattages from 40W upwards, and thicker 70VG shortfill e liquids with lower nicotine strengths.

Compatibility With Your Device

Before buying, check the coil resistance and wattage range printed on the coil, the airflow style, the tank diameter against your mod top, and the thread type (almost always 510). Make sure your device can safely power the tank at the coil's recommended range. If you're unsure, browsing our vape kits for a complete compatible setup is often the easier route.

UK Compliance and Capacity

Under TPD rules, tanks sold in the UK are limited to 2ml capacity, and bottled nicotine e liquid is capped at 10ml at 20mg strength. That's why most modern tanks ship with a 2ml glass even if a larger bubble glass exists elsewhere.

Coils, Cleaning and Leaks

Replace coils every one to two weeks and prime each new one with a few drops of e liquid before filling, then leave it to soak for five to ten minutes to avoid burnt taste. Rinse the tank under warm water every fortnight, dry it fully, and inspect the O rings. If a tank leaks, check the seals, don't overfill past the max line, and keep the airflow closed when topping up. Stock up on replacement vape coils and grab spare glass, drip tips and seals from our vape accessories range.

We serve UK vapers online and from our shop in Caerphilly, South Wales, with honest advice on choosing the right tank for your device and e liquid.

FAQ

Common Questions

What is the best vape tank for flavour? +
Flavour is subjective, but mesh coil MTL tanks tend to give the cleanest, most defined taste at lower wattages, which is why they're popular with fruit and dessert e liquid fans. Sub ohm mesh tanks deliver bold, warmer flavour at higher wattages if you prefer clouds. The honest answer is that a fresh, properly primed coil matters more than the tank brand on the box.
What is the difference between an MTL tank and a sub ohm tank? +
An MTL (mouth to lung) tank has tight airflow and higher resistance coils above 1.0 ohm, so it mimics a cigarette draw at low wattages with nic salts or 50VG e liquid. A sub ohm tank has wide airflow and coils below 1.0 ohm, designed for direct to lung vaping at higher wattages with 70VG shortfills. They suit different devices, draw styles and nicotine strengths.
Will any vape tank fit my mod? +
Most tanks use a 510 threaded connection, which fits the vast majority of regulated mods. You also need to check the tank's diameter against your mod top so it doesn't overhang awkwardly, and make sure your mod's wattage range covers the coil's recommended range. Pod systems with proprietary pods are the exception and won't accept standard tanks.
How often should I replace my vape tank coil? +
Most coils last between one and two weeks with regular use. Sweet, dark or heavily sweetened e liquids gunk coils up faster, sometimes within a few days. You'll know it's time when the flavour turns muted, burnt or harsh, no matter how much e liquid is in the tank.
Why is my vape tank leaking? +
Common causes are overfilling above the max line, a worn or missing O ring, a coil that isn't screwed in fully, or leaving airflow open when topping up. Strip the tank down, check the seals, dry everything off and rebuild it carefully. If leaks continue, a replacement glass and seal kit from our vape accessories range usually sorts it.
Can I use nic salts in a sub ohm tank? +
It's not a good idea. Nic salts are made for low wattage MTL devices, so running them through a sub ohm tank at 40W or higher delivers a huge dose of nicotine very quickly and tends to feel harsh and unpleasant. Stick to 3mg or 6mg freebase e liquid in sub ohm tanks, and keep nic salts for your MTL kit.
Are vape tanks limited to 2ml in the UK? +
Yes. Under TPD regulations, tanks sold in the UK are capped at 2ml capacity. Some tanks ship with a larger bubble glass in other markets, but the UK version will always be the 2ml straight glass. You'll just need to top up a little more often through the day.
How do I clean a vape tank properly? +
Empty the tank, take it apart, and rinse the components under warm water. Leave them to air dry fully before reassembling, then fit a fresh coil and prime it with a few drops of e liquid. Avoid washing up liquid or harsh cleaners as they can leave residue that taints the next fill.
