I would be very interested in providing an unbiased review of products that you want reviewed. I am fairly new to the scene having just gotten into vaping since Oct. 2017. But with that said I dived head first into the deep end and within a month of this journey I started making my own coils, mixing my own liquid, and have gently pushed my friends and family that are still smoking, into the vaping world. So while I might not have the experience that others might have, I can provide the viewpoint of a new vapor.

If you would like to see a written review, please check out (TFV8 Big Baby Beast) for a review of my first tank. Since I just posted it today, I have a feeling that it still needs to be reviewed before it goes live. So I am including a copy of the review below.

SMOK TFV8 Big Baby Beast Review
Since this is the first tank I ever owned, I wanted to wait until I had a bit more experience under my belt before I wrote a review on it. Now that I have that experience, on to the honest review.

Overall: 8/10
Ease of use: 9/10
Leaks: 5/10 (10/10 if you continue reading)
Vapor density: 9/10
Flavor: 8/10

Pros:
The tank is extremely simple to use, simple to breakdown, easy to fill, the lid swivels so it never leaves the tank, the 5ml capacity is great, you can always find atomizers for them, and overall a great tank.

Cons:
The silicone seal can get bunched up if you aren't careful when twisting the lid back on, the hole to put liquid in is very small, and the atomizers are prone to leaking if you don't pay attention.

Overall this is a great beginner tank for new vapors and for those that just want something basic. Even after buying new mods and tanks to try out, this is still in my daily rotation which should say a lot about it.

The major thing that you must look out for with this tank though is the prebuilt atomizers that you purchase. They are very prone to leaking. This is an ongoing issue with most prebuilt atomizers and should be taken with a grain of salt. There are some great tutorials and videos out there on how to keep this from happening, and with a little bit of research you can easily figure out how to tweak them so that you have little to no issues with leaking. I won't go into detail on the fixes but will list out the two things that helped me to reduce my leakages by 100%.

1. The small contacts under the rubber seal at the bottom of the atomizer should be pushed in just a little bit with a flat screwdriver.
2. Turn the bottom of the atomizer a little bit while applying pressure to the top, just like you are trying to screw them together. This will create a better seal on the bottom of the atomizer, and typically result in almost no leakage.

One other thing that you should consider is that temperature differences will create alternating pressure within the tank, so if you leave your tank in the car, or leave it just sitting out for a few days, you will still get leaks. This will happen to most tanks that you own.

This review is based on my own personal use and experience with this tank. Hopefully you find this information useful.

    Thank you.

    While one sentence reviews with a star rating are good, I would much rather have a review of the product that explains the pros and cons of each one. Even if a product is great, I want to know WHY it is great, and what sets it apart from other products like it.

    We've given a lot of thought as to how to involved the community more in vaping.com, and the best idea we can come up with is to start getting your expertise involved in reviewing products.

    Do you want free vape gear to roadtest and review?

    Every week we will be sending out vape kits, eliquids and coils plus anything else we come across.

    The whole vaping industry is built off the back of the knowledgable community helping one another, all we ask in return is that you leave an honest review on the product page itself so another vaper can benefit from your expertise, and so that we can know that we're stocking the right products.

    To be eligible you must already have left one review so we can see that you're able to write in a way that is clear and helpful to other vapers.

    To start with I'll be announcing products we'd like reviewed in this forum posts below, you add your name into the hat and we'll draw people at random, sound good?

    Let me know if you have any ideas how to make this run as smooth as possible!
    Hello Kind Sir,
    I am @vaping_illuminati on Instagram. I currently have over 2600 followers. As of this point I have been doing little reviews when possible but as we all know it's very difficult to purchase the new products the followers want to hear about. With your help I believe we can put out enough product awareness to sway people to Vape and give them the knowledge to keep them interested. Please check out my page and I am very interested in working with you to make the world a Vape world by converting everyone from the Stink Sticks to Sweet Smelling Clouds.

    I'm another long-time vaper & ecf member with an addiction to trying out the newest vape gear & offering an honest appraisal. My daily go-to mod is my original 18650 Caravela (#122) mech combined with various sub-ohm tank/rta. My other go-to is an original "Red Sky Mod" dual 16340s bottom feeder/squonk (variable voltage via mini screwdriver - 3.0V to 7.4V) which I am hoping to adjust to run dual 18350s - 16340s are getting hard to find. I've been mining my own liquids, primarily, since 2012 but like to sample the new flavor profiles on the commercial market too.
    Currently living on state disability (under $200/month) & it's fiving me far too much free time & not enough money to spend experimenting with new products.
    Hoping you'll consider including me as a reviewer.

    Presa TC100W has all the multi-functions any Vaporers would want or need. The availability to use different batteries in this mod make it convenient to have access to your vape at all times. Pair this mod with a Crown II tank and your favorite flavor-Rock the E-cig world!

    But there not great 510s for everyone else that uses different types of tanks RTA,s with different length 510 threads.
    There are better boards and functions out There, depends on if your a rebuilders and like to dial in your vape more precisely. Whats suitable for one isnt for all, hence why theres so many different types from sub ohm MTL-DTL Restrictive-DTL an then sizes ect and Rebuildables too
