Arctic by Horizone Tech--New Sub-Ohm Replaceable Atomizer Tank

[sedge]

Most of you know I'm into high-end RTAs but I picked this up from the entreaties of a wonderful high-end, no clone, B&M.

www.hiddenvape.com

I guess this is one of the newest sub-ohm, big-air, cloud-chasing tank atomizers to be introduced.


Arctic by Horizone Tech-Shenzhen China
www.horizone-cig.com


100% USA made Kanthal
100% organic cotton wick
304 SS
Pyrex tank
3mm sq. air intake holes. 4 holes total for 12 mm sq. total.
AFC
2.5 ml advertised capacity but I can squeeze in 3.
Extra wide bore drip tip.

Available coils:

Single coil-0.2 Ω, 0.5 Ω and 1.2 Ω

Dual coil-0.2 Ω and 0.5 Ω

Coils are vertical.

I received the 0.5 single and 0.2 dual.

Two coils come with the unit.

Retails for $45
$22 for 5 replacement coils.


It is very well built. Very sturdy construction. Threads are nice. Finish is great. The AFC is highly adjustable from completely closed to wide open. The AFC ring stays put. Easy and cool lung hits and Big Clouds with the 0.2 dual coil and AFC wide open. (Not my thing).

Flavor is good. Very good actually. Even better flavor with the 0.5 single coil and AFC closed a bit.

My only complaint is that it whistles. Its not quiet.


ETA: I've now run over 20 mls of Sleeping Dragon Daft Spunk (a custard) through it with no degradation in vapor or flavor.

I believe that the wall of cotton before the coil acts as a filter, thereby reducing gunk factor.

I put on a DT with a smaller ID which really intensified the flavor.

I've yet to have a flood, gurgle or dry hit. This is a really nice unit.

I gotta give a shout out to Hidden Vape in Woodland Hills, California. They have an amazing collection of high-end mods and atomizers and the staff is super knowledgeable. It is a NO CLONE store.

^Nice review Sedge!

I've edited the OP with afterthoughts. This is a really nice atty.

I have the Spartan mini by Horizon and it's awesome. Think I'll try one of these when I'm ready to jump on the sub tank bandwagon.

 

[GaG8tor]

I think we'll see a run on Horizon product once more people hear about them and what a superior product they make.

 

[GaG8tor]

Oh yeah. Nice review. Very short and to the point.

 

[GaG8tor]

Nice shop as well. I like the no clone concept.

The Arctic has a 1.2 ohm coil. Also, at 0.5, the vape is really mellow.

Nice brief Sedge.

I am curious about these latest RTA's with chimney builds and the juice in direct contact with the cotton.

It reminds of the old days using cartomisers and carto tanks which I haven't revisited for close to 2 years.

I have just ordered a Kanger Subtank Mini to try.

Not so sure about the OCC heads but looking forward to the RBA head.

 

[sedge]

There are 3 large slots on the side of these coil heads allowing alot of juice contact. Wicking had been great. It does remind me of punching cartos.

 

[UKPaul]

I am wondering about drilling holes in the side of the RBA chimney body and running it like a carto tank, I guess like the arctic.

Mainly because the mini looks like a nice deck to build on.

 

[TheotherSteveS]

The juice slots on the coil heads are immense!! Looks like a nice device!

 

[GaG8tor]

RBA deck for this thing would be awesome.

Just picked one up and have to agree....thing is awesome no dry hits ever all the way to 50 watts on the .5 head and haven't anything even close to a dry hit and flavor is still amazing....just put my goblin on the shelf.

 

[sedge]

Great to hear you like it so much and shared the same experience as I.

 

[Numbers311]

Just picked one of these up. This thing is great. I'm not a big tank guy but this thing rips. Havnt tried the .5 coil yet

Moved from Rebuildable Atomizer Systems to Clearomizers..

Since these are considered clearomizers, sub-tanks will be moved to this forum to keep all information in one place, and not scattered amongst RTA's like the Kayfun, Taifun, etc..

Love mine at 3.1 volts or 32 watts on the .2 atty 50 watts was too hot for me putting my Atlantis on the shelf at least for now

Was loving mine until I got the Freemax Starre. Better design, slightly more airflow, double the fluid capacity, better flavor, heads don't take forever to break in, and the same price. Plus I haven't cut my fingers on the tank cap like I have with the Arctic. (just this morning while cleaning it)

Essentially take the Arctic, clean up the sharp edges, double the tank, add knurling and a lock to the airflow ring and you have the Starre. Now I'm resenting jumping on the Arctic bandwagon so fast.

These fast moving subtank wars are getting expensive.
