If you're new to vaping, you might get quite overwhelmed with the wide range of options available for the different parts of a vape. Whether you're a disposable vape user looking to branch out into more advanced vape devices or are a complete beginner, there are definitely plenty of accessible options that are easy to use while still giving you the best vaping experience.
If you're looking for a bit more guidance, a vape starter kit can help you as starter kits are the most efficient way to put together the best vape device. Once you've understood the basics you can start customising your vape to fit your personal vaping style. One of the parts you can easily customise is the vape tank.
What is a vape tank?
A vape tank is the part of the vape that holds its e-liquid and coil - which is what heats up the e-liquid and turns it into vapour.
There are many options out there but you'll want to pick a tank that suits your preferred style of vaping - MTL or DTL. Some tanks are specifically for mouth-to-lung vaping, where the vapour is first pulled into the mouth then inhaled into your lungs. These are popular among new vapers or those making the switch from smoking to vaping. There are also direct-to-lung tanks, also known as sub-ohm tanks. Like the name suggests, the vapour is inhaled directly into the lungs similar to how you would smoke shisha. Sub ohm tanks are a good choice for those who want major vapour production and are a great stepping stone in getting into cloud chasing. If you want a more flexible option there are also tanks that support both mouth-to-lung and direct-to-lung vaping.
When it comes to buying a vape tank, you can either opt for a vape kit that already has a tank installed or buy a vape mod and choose your own tank to use with it. As long as your vape mod has a 510 connection, it will be compatible with most vape tanks on the market.
There are a lot of different vape tanks and it can be tough to know which one to pick up if you're just starting out. Here's a look at some of the best beginner vape tanks, so you can make an informed decision about which starter tank is right for you.
Vaporesso iTank M
The Vaporesso iTank M is a great option if you're switching from cigarettes to vapes. It's a great all-around tank that's easy to use and produces good results when MTL vaping.
The iTank M by Vaporesso is a good choice for beginners because it's easy to use and has a lot of features that make it user-friendly while also offering impressive performance. For example, the pre-installed 1.2 ohm MTX coil has a push-fit mechanism for easy replacement; no fiddly coil changes are necessary!
The iTank M also has an adjustable airflow control ring, so you can customise the airflow to your liking. The top-filling feature also means you don't have to remove the whole mod to refill the tank with e-liquid. Plus, with its 510 thread connection, it's compatible with the majority of mods.
Aspire Nautilus 3
The Aspire Nautilus 3 is another great mouth-to-lung option for new vapers. It has a 2ml capacity and 7 different adjustable airflow options, perfect for those new to vaping and just figuring out their ideal configurations. Similarly to the Vaporesso iTank M, this tank from Aspire comes with a top-filling feature and innovative sliding cap which makes filling your tanks cleaner, quicker, and easier. Its 510 connection also means you can mod them easily when you do decide to customise your kit and experiment with different mods.
The vape tank is also compatible with the entire Aspire Nautilus BVC coil range. They're widely available as well which means you can easily customise your vape to your personal preference.

The tank also comes with the Aspire BVC 1.8 ohm coil already pre-installed and it's also compatible with the Aspire Spryte coil if you want to try something new. We recommend pairing this vape with 50-50 e-liquids or nicotine salts.

The Innokin Zlide is a tank that offers flexibility for vapers in that although it is a sub ohm tank, you can use it for both mouth-to-lung and direct-to-lung smoking. It's compatible with both 50-50 e-liquid and high VG e-liquid. The tank comes with two coils: the Z-PLEX3D 0.48 ohm mesh coil - which comes pre-installed into the tank - and the 1.6 ohm Kanthal Coil. With these two coils you can easily switch between a mouth-to-lung and direct-to-lung vaping experience. It's also compatible with the entire Zenith coil range.
One of this Innokin tank's best features is that it also lets you change the coil without having to empty the tank. You can simply screw out the old coil and it's ready to have a new one fitted in. This vape tank also has a large glass window so you can easily look into the tank to see how much e-liquid you have left without opening the vape tank up.
Hellvape x WiRice Launcher Mini Sub-ohm Tank
The Hellvape x WiRice Launcher Mini Sub-ohm Tank is another great starter kit option that offers dual mouth-to-lung and direct-to-lung vaping experiences. It has 5 adjustable airflow options and comes with two T3 coils with 0.7 and 1.2 ohm resistance. Although labelled as a sub ohm tank, the 1.2 ohm coil will offer restricted direct-to-lung resistance and with the right vape mods you can also use this tank for MTL vaping.
Refills also couldn't be easier with this Hellvape tank as you can easily unscrew the top ring, fill it up with your favourite vape juice, and install the top ring again. The tank's efficient design also automatically locks in the liquid and ensures it is leak-proof all day long.
