Hi guys just placed my order for an eleaf 50 and was unsure what sub ohm tank to accompany.
The gentleman working at vvape recommends the Magnus, I was thinking the delta 2 but was reading about the material in the coils. My friend says go kanger sub and another says Atlantis 2.
What do you recommend ? Not really into rebuilding just wanna get a good cloud with a sweet taste.
Thanks in advance

In my opinion the Herakles is a perfect combination between flavor and vapor production. Kanger Subtanks are nice but they aren't designed for cloud making. The Starre is almost identical to the Maganus and they're both ?tanks. Starre is cheaper than Maganus price. Atlantis 2 is a cloud machine with.3 coils but you're going to need at least 70 watts with it. Arctic is great for clouds but flavor is muted. Herakles or Starre is best bets imo.

Cheers guys nice one for the response just a shame you all didn't say the same ha.
To be fair The guy in the vape shop did say most of these tanks are very good and a lot comes down to personnel preference.
I thought I had made me mind up on the delta but was reading about the material in the coil is not organic and extremely bitty.
Thanks again guys I'll let you know what I go for

Opinion alert!!!!


Subtank all the way. I would recommend either the Plus or the Mini over the original. I just get better flavor out of my subtank that any other tank I own. I Vape all day long. And no matter how many times I try to, I can't get away from the subtank. When I am at home, I use an RDA, but when I'm on the go I prefer a tank for convinience sake. And let me tell you, I own an Atlantis, atlantis 2, arctic, Maganus, all 4 subtanks, and an authentic Kayfun V4. I still grab my Sigelei 150 with my subtank plus when I walk out the door every single day. It's just too damn good. The clouds aren't huge, but they are good size and the flavor is phenomenal.

What's your vg? Different tanks handle vg differently. I like my Kanger, but sometimes it has a hard time with my maxVG juices. I've done research and settled on the Heracles. It has adjustable juice flow, the replaceable coils are parallel built (even the .6)and is compatible with Atlantis coils as well.

No need to sub-ohm on a VV/VW mod.

Just sayin'.
I agree with RDAs or RTAs . But with a Herakles .2 coils a mech is too hot for my taste while a typical tube mech won't power the .6 coil rated for 50 watts and up. A Arctic .2 is capable of working good on the mech but I don't like the flavor in that tank. Not all .2 coils are the same. So for my taste I NEED a regulated mod for Sub ohm tanks. With RDAs though I don't sub with my regulated mods.

Subtanks. You can run them between about 15-30 ways for amazing flavor and vapor, while saving battery life.

There's also no need to buy a car that's capable of hitting 180 MPH, but people do it anyway because they enjoy them.

Just sayin'.

You'll get better battery life with higher ohm coils, not lower. ;)

Say, 1.5 ohm @ 15w and you'll get about double the battery life that you would at .5 ohm @ 30w...and, with all things being equal, about the same vape.

I can almost guarantee that you won't get the same vape on a 1.5ohm at 15w as a .5 at 30w. Both at 30w yeah sure.

Also I agree, subohm is largely redundant on VV/VW mods, just dial in the settings and you're good to go, however with pre built coils it does have some relevance.

Sub ohm coil heads tend to have larger wicking holes etc and are designed to take higher wattages without any issues. You wouldn't reccommend the OP to get a Nautilus and crank it up to 40w now would you? ;)

Yeah, I agree there. It just sucks that the only pre-built heads right now that feed good are the sub-ohm heads....does anyone know if higher ohm heads that feed as well as SO heads??

My wife uses an Eleaf GS Air M tank with 1.5ohm coils and it seems to feed fine at 15w, but the flavor ain't the greatest...it's got too much of that "carto" flavor for me although she doesn't seem to mind.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's because of size and consistency.

If you take apart these subohm coil heads, the coils inside are often around 5 wraps, parallel for your lower ohm rated heads.

To make a higher resistance coil head with a consistant vape quality would more than likely require more wraps, making it more difficult for these manufacturers to fit them into a decent sized casing and possibly more duds too.

The op said they don't want rebuildable. I suggested a Herakles. Herakles doesn't have a 1.5 coil. And I don't like the Atlantis coils so I would not suggest putting one in a Herakles. Also with pre built coils they work better if broken in slowly with lower watts and then raising the watts. You can't do that with a mech. I really don't understand why the comment was made about not needing to sub ohm with a vv vw device. The op said they bought a regulated device and want a sub ohm tank. So I can't award any superiority points because it had zero to do with the op.

I'm saying I hot my. 5 ohm at 16 watts. The subtanks don't require as much wattage. I understand.

I was just offering a suggestion as to how the OP could extend his battery life on his VV/VW device with higher ohm coils. A sub-ohm tank has absolutely no advantages (besides the aforementioned better feeding, due only to the popularity of said tanks and the attention given to them by manufacturers due to high demand) on a VV/VW device.
