Voopoo Uforce-L
Best Leak Proof Vape Tank
Features We Love
High and Tight
Raised air inlets prevent e-juice leaks
Triple Threat
Three quiet airways for maximum cloud production
Sleek Sink
Heat-sink design prevents temperature-increasing
It takes something special to stand out as the best vape tank that doesn’t leak, but the Voopoo Uforce-L Tank delivers a stunning suite of features.
Though the build is somewhat broad and may eclipse thinner batteries, the Uforce-L uses that scale to significant effect. Traditionally, sub-ohm tanks are pretty loud. However, the internal airways in the Uforce-L have been specifically designed to reduce noise, resulting in a stealthy sub-ohm tank.
Speaking of airways, the Uforce-L sub-ohm tank boasts a remarkable three separate inlets. This provides you with greater airflow than 99% of tanks and results in phenomenal cloud production.
The Uforce-L is compatible with the full range of PnP replacement coils, with ohmages ranging from 0.15 ohms to 1.2 ohms. This provides you with surprising versatility, with even MTL coils fitting in easily with push-to-fit installation.
The Voopoo Uforce-L Tank is the best of the bunch regarding leak-resistant tanks and will give cloud-chasing vapers the ride of their lives.
Pros
- Compatible with full PnP Coil range
- Stealthy sub-ohm tank sound suppression
- Three air inlets for increased vapour production
Cons
- Wide design won’t suit all batteries
- No sliding top-fill system
SMOK T-Air Subtank
Best for Value
Features We Love
High Honey: Raised honeycomb airway prevents e-juice leaks
Value Vape: Incredible price for such a great sub-ohm tank
Derlin Darlin’: Derlin drip tip maintains a comfortable temperature
The SMOK T-Air Subtank felt like a returning champion when we first unboxed it. Built-in a similar style to older SMOK sub-ohm tank units like the Baby Beast, the T-Air Subtank showcases an old-school look.
However, on closer inspection, we can begin to appreciate newer vape tank design elements, including features that will prevent e-liquid spills!
The airflow adjustment ring has been placed high up top, a great way to stop e-liquid from escaping your sub-ohm tank. Looking closer, you’ll see that the airflow adjustment ring has a honeycomb design. Dozens of small air inlets allow you to customize your precise airflow level intricately, resulting in clouds that best suit you.
Meshed SMOK TA Coils are available in 0.15ohms, 0.2ohms and 0.4ohms, with more straightforward than ever push-to-fit installation, a far cry from SMOK’s old screw-in designs from yesteryear!
And one of the best things about the T-Air Subtank is the price. While not the cheapest sub-ohm tank on the list, we feel it’s the best value in providing a rich and cloudy sub-ohm experience at just over twenty pounds.
Pros
- Unique honeycomb airways for total cloud control
- Raised airflow for e-liquid security
- A highly affordable sub-ohm tank
Cons
- Included coils can only handle 45W outputs
- No sliding top-fill convenience
Hellvape Dead Rabbit 3
Best for Clouds
Features We Love
High-Top: Airflow kept above the e-liquid chamber to prevent spills
Post-Posts: Postless deck design for more accessible working space
Honey Bee: Honeycombed internal air paths for maximum clouds
Nothing kicks out clouds like your own coils you built yourself, and the Hellvape Dead Rabbit 3 RTA provides a superbly convenient and user-friendly way to reap the benefits of homemade atomizers.
Unlike RDAs, RTAs provide an e-liquid catchment area, so you don’t have to reapply e-juice to your coil deck frequently.
The Dead Rabbit 3 has been built with a postless deck, which means you have far more room to work with when installing your homemade coils. This makes the delicate work achievable even for someone just getting started on DIY coils.
A raised adjustable airflow system helps eliminate e-liquid leaks while providing a vast amount of airflow, just what you need to emit huge RTA clouds. This is also assisted by the Dead Rabbit 3 having room for two coils simultaneously, just what you need for massive outputs.
The Hellvape Dead Rabbit 3 RTA is a cloudy, clean masterclass. While certainly not for the casual vaper, those who desire to be fully invested in their vaping experience won’t be disappointed by its leak proof technology.
Pros
- Vast cloud production
- Easy workspace
- Postless deck for installation ease
Cons
- Not for beginners
- Shallow profile drip tip
Aspire Nautilus 3
Best for: Coil Life
Features We Love
Isolation Station: Coil isolation chamber preserves coil life
Built To Last: Sturdy steel construction
Nautilus: Compatible with all Nautilus Coils
The Aspire Nautilus 3 Tank has received a lot of love from us since its release, and a big part of that is due to its unique anti-leak measures.
The Nautilus 3 features a coil-isolation chamber which automatically closes the wicking ports when the base is unscrewed. This leak proof design means that you can change coils with a full juice tank and not lose a single drop, one of the best examples of leak proof technology.
And when it comes to coils, you’re spoilt for choice, as the Nautilus 3 is fully compatible with the Nautilus Coil series. Ranging from 1.8ohms to 0.4ohms, the Nautilus 3 opens up a world of vaping opportunities.
A solid steel construction lends a heft to the tank. Maybe too heavy for some, but one tug on that sliding top-fill mechanism and you’ll feel confident in the physical longevity of your vape tank.
The Aspire Nautilus 3 Tank is one of the best vapes that don’t leak. Simple to use, satisfying to draw from and built to last.
Pros
- Wide coil compatibility
- Change coils without losing e-liquid
- Tough and rigid sliding top-fill
Cons
- Heavy, cumbersome build
- Only compatible with one sub-ohm tank coil
Aspire Atlantis GT
Best for Durability
Features We Love
Defended: Glass section protected by steel panels
NiCe Coils: NiChrome coils used for increased clouds and flavour
Stylish: Designed by Taifun, produced by Aspire
Aspire is known for its sleek and elegant builds. However, for the Atlantis GT Tank, they’ve acquired a design from frequent collaborator Taifun, who helped them assemble a marvellously sturdy DTL tank.
The Atlantis GT Tank has a bulky build, featuring thick steel casings that prevent damage to the unit. The glass ring is protected behind a tight grid of armoured panels. This allows you to check your juice while ensuring the glass remains protected.
Aspire unveiled a new range of coils for the tank, the Aspire Atlantis SE Coils. Available in 0.3ohms, 0.35ohms and 0.18ohms, they each provide a vast amount of vapour. Rather than usual kanthal heating elements, Aspire has used NiChrome meshes, a material frequently used for DIY coil building.
This results in fast absorption and thick plumes. The tank is easily refilled through a side hatch, meaning you don’t have to do any disassembly to get a new batch of juice running through your coils.
Pros
- Durable steel build
- Powerful NiChrome mesh coil heads
- Side-refill without disassembly
Cons
- Chunky build size
- Unusual mouthpiece shape
Lost Vape UB Lite
Best for MTL & DTL
Features We Love
Both Jobs: DTL and MTL coils available
Bulky Boy: Chunky steel rings protect glass ring
Lengthy Tip: Tapered drip tip suits MTL vaping
While Lost Vape is typically associated with big and bulky external battery vape mod units, the UB Lite Tank demonstrates a straddling of the vape genres.
Built with the chunky steel one might expect to see on a cloud tank, the UB Lite Tank is primarily intended for MTL use. The long and tapered mouthpiece suits the tight draws of MTL vaping perfectly.
The relatively tight airflow controls also suit the concentrated beams of vapour you get when performing MTL inhales.
Within the tank lie the Lost Vape UB Lite mesh Coils. Built with meshed heating elements, the coils generate rich and flavoursome vapour by quickly soaking up juice, preventing leaks.
The coils can be acquired in 0.8ohms and 1.4ohms for satisfying MTL puffs, along with a 0.4ohm unit for when you fancy kicking out some big-time clouds.
While mainly an MTL tank, the glass sits recessed behind thick steel like on a sub-ohm tank, providing your UB Lite with more damage protection than tanks usually receive.
The Lost Vape UB Lite tank is a great, highly affordable leakproof tank that does both jobs!
Pros
- Versatile vape tank
- Solidly built with recessed glass
- Rubber rings to prevent leaks
Cons
- Airflow is not quite wide enough for intense DTL use
- It doesn’t come with a DTL mouthpiece included
Vaporesso iTank M
Best for Flavour
Features We Love
MTX FTW: MTX Coils deliver deep, rich flavour
Focussed: Tight draw and airflow results in concentrated flavour
Fix Up: Can be fully disassembled for cleaning between juices
The tight draws of MTL tanks deliver a much richer flavour profile than DTL tanks can, and the Vaporesso iTank M Tank is one of the tastiest.
Built for the Vaporesso MTX Coil series, the iTank M is best used with 50/50 and high-PG e-liquids. It also does an excellent job with nicotine salt e-liquids, though not quite as well as the TECC Impact GTL Tank.
The iTank M features a uniquely tapered mouthpiece that suits MTL draws very well and a wide – though fragile – glass section that allows you to gauge your vape juice levels at all times accurately.
The sliding airflow adjustment isn’t too wide. However, this works well with MTL vaping and will result in concentrated draws of robust flavour every time.
Thin and compactly built, the iTank M sits prettily atop any vape mod you choose to use, with no overhand or top-heavy issues spoiling the aesthetics of your vaping setup.
The Vaporesso iTank M Tank is the best choice of leakproof tank for any MTL vaper seeking rich and moreish flavours from their coils.
Pros
- MTL-focussed iTank model
- Deliciously flavoursome MTX Coils
- Concentrated flavour from thin inhale
Cons
- Not for cloud chasers
- Lack of extra features
TECC Impact GTL
Best for Nic Salts
Features We Love
TECC – The Electric Cigarette Company – has found their way into our hearts with the release of the Impact GTL Tank, a sophisticated pod/tank hybrid that delivers nic salt fans supremely satisfying inhales.
A very compact and travel-friendly tank, the Impact GTL Tank’s construction features an acrylic top half that gives you complete transparency for juice tracking. The bottom half is made from steel, attached to the pod section with strong magnets.
The base section’s airflow control has been built with knurled steel, making it easier to set your airflow to precisely the level you want.
The TECC GTL Coils use kanthal and organic cotton and are remarkably long-lasting. This makes them an excellent choice for nicotine salts, which can sometimes be rough on coil materials.
While not supremely advanced in terms of functions, the TECC Impact GTL Tank is a cheap, leak-resistant and highly effective pod tank for those of you who love nicotine salts above all else.
Pros
- Compact MTL vape tank
- Perfect for use with nicotine salt e-liquid
- Precise movement on adjustable airflow ring
Cons
- The acrylic section is fragile when dropped
- The raised mouthpiece inlet makes wider tips look strange
