Advice needed on new sub ohm tank

[gar3th100]

Hello everyone,

I vaped 3 years ago and quit. I then hit stress and started smoking again. I quit again two years ago but didn't use vape with that attempt. I've recently started vaping again as I've had urges to smoke.

I have an Eleaf iStick TC40W with variable wattage from 1W to 40W and variable temperature.
I also have a Kangertech with variable wattage from 7w to 50W.

The sub ohm tank I have has fallen apart so I'm looking to get a new sub ohm tank.

I'm aware that over the past few years people have started vaping at a higher wattage and many modern tanks won't work too well with a 40/50W mod.

I think my local vape shop are trying to upsell me by flogging me a whole new mod and tank and I don't really want to do that as I have two batteries that are working fine and when I vaped on them three years ago they gave me all the flavour and vapour I needed.

I'd appreciate some suggestions on tanks that will work with these mods.

Cheers,

Gareth

Original Uwell Crown Clearomizer Tank

I've been using these tanks for about 3 years. A proven performer over time. Easy top fill design. Great airflow options. Offers a wide range of coils and wattage ranges that you would find acceptable for the way you vape. I use the 0.5 ohm coils at 30 watts. They last me about 4 weeks of use.

• 
  
  
  • 1.2 ohm Single Stainless Steel Uwell Crown Coil - 10 to 30W
  • 0.5 ohm Dual Stainless Steel Uwell Crown Sub-Ohm Coil - 30 to 80W
  • 0.25 ohm Dual Stainless Steel Uwell Crown Sub-Ohm Coil - 80 to 120W
  • 0.15 ohm Dual Ni200 Nickel Uwell Crown Sub-Ohm Coil - 400 to 600 Degrees Fahrenheit (temp control)

Get a 24.5/25mm tank that uses Baby Beast coils. Gets you a myriad of cheap coil choices, several among them which can be vaped below 50W.

To be frank : Right now, if I were in your situation, I'd get a OBS Cube kit. Can be obtained for as little as $35-40. Good looking mod with an internal battery and enough power, and a BB-compatible Tank is part of the kit. You can't beat that price package.

If we are going to be honest here, SMOK coils generally have a reputation for inconsistancy, poor quality control, and short coil life. Your mileage may vary.

I have a couple of tanks which all use these coils:
2 * JT Procore X
1 * JT Procore Motor
2 * Smok Big Baby Beast
and stiiiillll on the way is
1 * Eleaf Ello Mini XL

The advantage is obvious:
When I buy coils, I know they'll fit in all of my big subohm tanks. Can't beat that level of convenience. Plus, you can jump on any bargain coil sale out there. That lowers the long-time costs of running a subohm tank considerably.

And BTW; I'm still ogling the OBS Cube myself

 

[QcVaper]

Just to add my , you have no obligation to use high wattage nor to buy a new mod if yours functions well,
For example i don't use any tanks as i'm an Rda fan, but the way i build lets me use about 30 watts only, and i can last about a day with a single battery and i get plenty of clouds.

I understand you might not want big clouds, then again there's still options and plenty of em for your use. Just don't discourage yourself

If that is the case, you didn't bother to mention that critical information in your first post. I'm not being critical of your answer and/or opinion, I was just looking out for the original poster's best interest.

Sure. I just thought that this special "circumstance" concerning the BB coils had made the rounds by now.

Welcome and glad you joined.
RDA's only here but tanks are good too.
Hang in there and wish you luck with vaping this time. Might like to read:
