The best–ranked beginner tanks.

Beginner vape tanks offer a great introduction into the world of vaping, but with so much choice available deciding on the right one can be a confusing issue. These tanks, whilst predominantly aimed at users switching over from smoking and who are starting their vaping journey, are also very popular with more experienced vapers due to their simple operation and resolute performance.

The majority of beginner vape tanks offer a MTL (Mouth To Lung) inhale, which basically replicates the notion of smoking a cigarette. This means when vapour is inhaled, it enters the mouth and is then further inhaled into the lungs in a two-step process. There are a few beginner vape tanks that can also offer a DTL (Direct To Lung) inhale, which is where vapour is inhaled straight to the lungs.

These vape tanks usually are a bit more advanced in nature, requiring mods with features such as variable wattage in order for the user to have the best experience from the tanks. For more information on sub ohm vaping, check out our detailed beginner’s guide on sub ohm vaping.

From the bestselling brands on the market as well as some of our personal favourites, here’s our rundown of the best beginner vape tanks on the market:

One of many in the Innokin Go family, the Innokin Go Z is a great choice if you’re after a hardwearing MTL tank. Unlike most tanks, this one is constructed with plastic, which means it’s far more hardwearing than its glass equivalents. Its sliding top-fill design also means that you can easily refill this tank – you won’t even need to remove it from your device.

You can use this tank with the Innokin Zenith coils and a 1.6 Ohm coil is included. This coil will create a discreet amount of vapour, for an MTL inhale that feels like a cigarette. If you fancy changing how tight or loose each draw feels, just adjust the airflow control slider. When the coil inside is finished you can replace the entire tank – for a maintenance-light option.

The large drip tip is perfect for sub ohm vapers, since it leaves more space for vapour to pass through and it can be removed to quickly access the top-filling e-liquid port. Adjust the airflow slider when you fancy tailoring how tight or loose your draw feels, or experiment with vapour production by switching between the included 0.2 Ohm and 0.4 Ohm coils.
