So I have a stack of tanks that would be classified as the high end (Nautilus normal/mini, Atlantis, Subtank, Stratos, Delta 23, Delta 19) along with a range of coils for them so I thought I would throw together a list of how I rank them. All of these are vaped on an eVic Supreme using from 8.8~30 watts (depending on what the coils will handle, tried most of them throughout the range). You might (or might not) be surprised by the results.
1. Delta 23 w/ 1.4ohm triple-coil: This result shouldn't surprise anyone who has used the Delta 23.
+ Great output from 8~25 watts, great flavor, surprisingly dense vapor at any given power.
+ Vapor production just shy in density of what the sub-ohm tanks (Atlantis & Subtank) produce in the 20+ watt range.
+ Has the advantage over sub-ohm tanks of being able to run very low wattage and still put out a lot of vapor.
+ Huge capacity and very easy filling. The coil screws into the base, while the chimney runs near full length. Looks full when it is.
- Does gurgle slightly on long draws at 20+ watts no matter what the air intake is set to.
- Though the air intake provides broad range, it isn't 'clicky' so can be accidentally changed and air intake is loud.
- Cost is a little high. In a 3-way tie with Atlantis and Stratos for second most expensive tank, most expensive coils (~$5 each).
- Likes to remove the 510 connector off my eVic-S. Really pisses me off and it is the only tank that does it. Took me 10 minutes to get it off the tank last time it did it. (forgot to add this at first)
2. Delta 19 w/ 1.4ohm triple-coil: The Delta 23's little brother using the Delta 23's coils
+ All the pluses of the Delta 23 but capacity (3.5ml should still be enough for most users).
- All the disadvantages of the Delta 23 as well (only $2 cheaper, coils are still $5 each).
3. Subtank w/ 0.5ohm coil: Kanger's new tank
+ Nice looking with good build quality (unlike what I have heard of past Kanger tanks)
+ Great airflow control.
+ You can fog it up with this thing, the vapor is very dense and flavorful.
- Massive! Like this thing is freaking huge. My mod feels like a mace with it on it. With every other tank the balance point is around the twist control, with this thing it is the fire button.
- Expensive! If you can find it, it will set you back $5~10 more than the tanks tied for second in cost. Also no replacement coils (all sold out).
4. Atlantis w/ 0.5ohm coil: Nautilus 2.0
+ Everything about the Nautilus, improved
+ Airflow control goes from tight to *WIDE* open
- Snap crackle pop! This thing makes some interesting noises.
- Seems harsher than the Subtank and Delta at the same wattage.
5. Delta 19 w/ 1.6ohm dual-coil: The Delta 23's little brother using its normal coils
+ Coils will only set you back $3.50 each. Can be run on devices that don't support low ohm.
- Doesn't like to be run as high, less vapor density (same flavor though)
6. Stratos w/ 0.8ohm coil: This is the beauty
+ Beautiful tank! This thing draws attention and well put together.
+ Great drip tip. It has an extremely nice glass drip tip and is the only stock tip I use.
+ The Nautilus tank built the way it should have been.
- The Nautilus built the way it should have been doesn't compete with the new generation tanks.
- Maxes out at about 15 watts due to wicking limits
- Hate seeing such a beautiful well made tank brought low by coils
7. & 8.: The Nautilus (normal & mini)
These have been extensively reviewed so no need for my input other than to say this is the best of the last generation tanks.
There are several other tanks I have, but I don't really use any of them. All of the above are ones I use and enjoy.
