Vape Tanks

A vape tank is where the e-liquid is stored and where the coil heats it into vapour. It usually screws into a vape mod with its 510 connector. At Ma Vapour, we offer a wide range of vape tanks from dependable brands, with MTL tanks built for everything from a tight, cigarette-style draw to sub-ohm tanks optimised for big clouds. Whether you want something compact that fits in your pocket or a larger tank that keeps going all day, you'll find just the tank here. In addition to the best vape tanks in the UK, we also stock e-liquids that pair well with all tanks, no matter your vaping setup.

Finding the Right Vape Tank

Finding the best vape tank mostly comes down to two things: how you like to vape and what kind of liquid you're using. If you’re after a mouth-to-lung draw and prefer nicotine salts or 50/50 liquids, go for a tank that uses high-resistance coils. These are made for a tighter inhale and lower power. If you prefer dense vapour and higher VG juices, a sub-ohm tank is better. You’ll want one that can handle higher wattage and has wider airflow.

Most vape tanks come with top-fill systems and adjustable airflow, making it easier to customise your setup to your liking. If you’re into building your own coils and want more control over how your vape performs, rebuildable tanks might suit you better. RTAs and RDTAs let you install your own coils and wick them with cotton, instead of using pre-made ones.

MTL Vape Tanks

Mouth-to-lung tanks aim to recreate the feeling of smoking, which is why they’re often the first choice for people coming off cigarettes. These tanks work best with higher-resistance coils, usually over 1 ohm, and thinner juices like 50/50 or nic salts. The design of a mouth-to-lung vape tank is focused on smaller airflow paths and tighter wicking ports, which means you get less vapour but a stronger throat hit. Most MTL tanks come in 2 ml sizes to meet UK regulations, but that’s typically enough to get through the day without constantly refilling.

Sub-Ohm Vape Tanks

Sub-ohm tanks use coils below 1 ohm and are designed to produce thicker vapour. They’re aimed at vapers who enjoy bigger clouds and stronger flavour, especially when using high VG e-liquids. Considered the best vape tanks, these usually have wider airflow and larger wicking ports, allowing more juice to reach the coil. Many come with bubble glass to increase capacity and can be run at higher wattages, making them a good fit for powerful box mods. You’ll go through liquid faster with these tanks, and they can be a bit more demanding.

Ceramic Coil Vape Tanks

Ceramic coil tanks are built with wicking material that can handle heat more effectively than cotton. This makes them a popular choice for vapers who want coils to last longer and deliver cleaner, more neutral flavour. This material, as opposed to cotton, lets the taste of your juice come through without extra sweetness or burnt notes. These replacement vape tanks are also less prone to dry hits when your juice runs low (cotton needs constant wicking). Not all tanks support ceramic coils, so check compatibility before buying.

Rebuildable Vape Tanks

Rebuildable tanks are for pro vapers who want full control over their setup, from the material and shape of their coils to the way e-liquid is stored and used up. RDAs (Rebuildable Dripping Atomisers) are simple and compact, offering intense flavour, but require you to manually drip e-liquid every few puffs. RTAs (Rebuildable Tank Atomisers) include a tank section, combining the flavour of dripping with more convenience, though wicking them properly can take some practice. RDTAs (Rebuildable Dripping Tank Atomisers) blend both styles but often need fine-tuning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to clean a vape tank?

It generally involves taking the tank apart and rinsing each piece with warm tap water. Afterwards, let everything dry fully on a cloth or air dry on a rack. If you see residue, soak the parts in warm water with a bit of baking soda. Avoid anything too strong or abrasive. Always remove the coil before washing, and replace it if it's old. Once dry, reassemble.

How to fill a vape tank?

Most tanks open from the top. Twist or slide the cap off, hold the tank at an angle, and pour the liquid along the side, not down the centre tube, aka chimney. Fill in the marked line if there is one. Then, replace the cap tightly and leave the tank for five minutes before vaping, allowing the wick to absorb the juice (this is called priming).

What are ceramic coil tanks?

Ceramic coil tanks use coils that are wrapped in ceramic material rather than cotton. This makes them more resistant to high heat and better suited to sweet or thick juices. They take a little longer to break in, but last longer between changes. But ceramic coils are less likely to burn out early and usually give a cleaner flavour.

Can I use nicotine salts in all tanks?

No. Nicotine salts should only be used in high-resistance tanks meant for mouth-to-lung vaping. Sub-ohm tanks deliver more vapour, which can make nic salts feel harsh and deliver too much nicotine per puff. You are better off sticking to coils over 1 ohm and keeping the wattage low when using salts.

Can I use any coil with my tank of vape?

No. Every e cigarette tank is designed to work with specific coil types. Even coils from the same brand don’t always fit different models. Check your tank’s manual or product page to find the right coil. Using the wrong one can lead to leaking, dry hits, or poor vapour production, and in most cases, it won’t even fit in the first place.

Why is my vape tank leaking?

Your tank will start leaking if there are any loose parts, worn-out seals, or simply because you have overfilled it. Make sure your coil is screwed in (or seated if it's a push-fit coil) properly and that the O-rings look intact. Be careful not to fill past the top line, and keep your tank upright when you are not using it.

How many types of vape tanks?

There are several types. The main ones are mouth-to-lung tanks, sub-ohm tanks, rebuildable tanks (like RTAs or RDAs), and ceramic coil tanks. Some pod kits also use tank-style cartridges. The choice comes down to what is compatible with your device and what kind of vape you prefer.
