Hello and welcome back for another review. This time I’ll be attempting to cover the Hellvape Hellbeast 2 Sub Ohm Tank. It was sent to me by Hellvape in hopes of providing a fair and honest review. I’ll do my best to meet that expectation. The Hellbeast 2 is the updated version of the original Hellbeast tank. The original Hellbeast had a slide to fill top, came with an adapter that allowed you to use Nautilus coils or you could use the original threaded coils that were included. It also allowed you to use many other of the same type of threaded coils like the GT series of coils. It was also a bottom airflow tank. The new Hellbeast 2 tank is top airflow, has a bayonet style top cap with two fill ports instead of two, and does not include any adapters for other coils. However thanks to a forum friend, I was made aware that the Hellbeast coils are compatible with the GTi coils and they will work in the Hellbeast 2 tank.
The Hellbeast 2 has a base dimension of 24mm and has a liquid capacity of 3.5ml with the pre-installed straight glass. There is also a bubble glass included with the tank that will allow an increased capacity of 5ml. It also includes two of the new P coils that have a larger contact area between the mesh wire and the cotton to improve heating and flavor production.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging for the Hellbeast 2 is a little different from the usual red box with black writing that a lot of Hellvape tanks come in. The colors are basically flipped on this one with the Hellvape and Hellbeast 2 names in red with a textured looking black background. Nice first impression. The back of the box sleeve has some features listed along with the package contents and Hellvape company information. On the sides are a nice sketch in red of the Hellbeast 2 tank and the name of the tank in red on the other side.
The 810 drip tip included with the tank isn’t just the usual standard 810 tip. It has a different internal shape kind of like a diamond or something that helps to prevent condensation from coming out and instead allows the condensation to drop back down into the tank.
The Hellbeast 2 has changed quite a bit from the original Hellbeast sub ohm tank. One of the first things that I noticed was the fill method. The original Hellbeast had a sliding top cap with a single fill port underneath while the Hellbeast 2 has a quarter turn top cap with two fill port openings. Both use an 810 drip tip.
Below you can see that the Hellbeast 2 is able to be fully disassembled for cleaning which is always a good idea since any tank can have residual machining oil or debris from the manufacturer. I always give a tank a bath in warm soapy water for cleaning before using it.
The airflow control ring although removable for cleaning does have a positive stop. There are two long oval airflow openings that provide more airflow than I could ever use. I ran the included .2 ohm KA1 coils at 52 watts with the airflow about ¼ open and it was still plenty of airflow.
The 810 drip tip included doesn’t have any o rings on it but instead the o ring is inside the top cap. I know some people like this but I really don’t know why this is advantageous. The bottom cap has three gold plated contacts built into it to provide better conductivity to the base of the coil once inserted.
The chimney section of the Hellbeast 2 has two o rings on it to secure the glass tank section in place and a third o ring to help hold the airflow control ring in place. On the center of the chamber exterior is the Hellbeast name along with the Hellbeast picture. On the bottom of the tank is written “Hellbeast 2 Sub Ohm Tank and the 510 center pin is gold plated.
Below you can see the Hellbeast 2 in blue on the left with the pre-installed straight glass tank section. In the middle is the black version with the included bubble glass installed. Finally on the right is the original Hellbeast tank. You can see the arrow on the top cap of the original version indicating where to push to slide the cap open for filling. The Hellbeast 2 tanks just have the standard bayonet style top cap that you give a ¼ turn to remove for filling. Also, the original was a bottom airflow tank where the Hellbeast 2 is a top airflow tank.
Included with the Hellbeast 2 are two .2 ohm P series mesh coils that are rated for 50-60 watts. I was able to comfortably run the included coils at 52 watts without the vapor being too warm which is a big plus for me as I tend to like a cooler vape. I found the included coils to be very good flavor producers and provide generous amounts of vapor.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I normally don’t use a lot of tanks with drop in coils because it’s just too hard to keep a bunch of different coils for each tank. I have to really like a tank in order to buy coils for it. However, thanks to a forum friend I have found out that the new Hellvape P series coils are the same dimensions as the GTi coils that I already have a few packages of and like very much. I really do like the Hellbeast 2 tanks so may go ahead and get some coils for it or just use the GTi coils that I know I like also.
The Hellbeast 2 is really a solid flavor producing tank in my opinion. The anti-condensation tip is a feature that I like and shows me that Hellvape put a little extra thought into this tank instead of just popping out another tank. I very much like that it is top airflow to help prevent leaking and the ¼ turn top cap with two large fill ports is a welcome update to the sliding top cap of the original. I have a couple of the originals and was running one on an SBS mod but had to take the tank off to refill due to the sliding cap always being in the wrong position so I couldn’t slide it open on the mod.
I started out with the straight glass on one tank that allows a capacity of 3.5ml but found myself constantly refilling with using the included .2 ohm P series coils at 52 watts. The flavor was really good and I like the way the straight glass looks on the tank but quickly grew tired of filling it. I then switched to the bubble glass for a 5ml capacity which was better. I personally would like to see a .4 ohm coil in the P series included with this tank. That way I could run the coil at a lower wattage and use the straight glass without constantly filling.
So, would I recommend the Hellvape Hellbeast Sub Ohm Tank for you? If you’re looking for a solid top airflow tank that produces good flavor and large amounts of vapor then yes I would. Even though it’s not advertised, you can use a couple different coils in this one if you choose.
