Choosing the best vap tank

Recently, vaping - smoking electronic cigarettes - is at the peak of popularity. Although, according to vapers, smoking is not quite the correct term for this process, because in reality only vapor is inhaled, or "soaring." It is logical that in connection with the increased interest in electronic cigarettes, the range of accessories for vaping began to expand. Let us focus on the most important part of the steam generator - the atomizer, consider its structure, principle of operation, and determine the best atomizers for electronic cigarettes.

What is an atomizer

Today, more or less everyone knows about atomizers who have tried electronic cigarettes at least once.This is not surprising: it is this element that makes it possible to consider an electronic steam generator as a cigarette. Of course, the battery pack, through which current is supplied for the timely evaporation of liquid from the container, is also of no small importance. However, it is the atomizer that can be called the "heart" of an electronic cigarette. The design features of the atomizer provide the main properties of the vape device: the density and volume of the exhaled vapor, the richness of taste, and the aroma of the liquid filled into the device.

If you are new to the world of "floating" and do not yet understand exactly how the atomizer functions, remember ordinary boiler. It is with this simple device that you can compare our device. The design of the atomizer itself is a nichrome spiral, inside of which there is a wick (quartz filament) impregnated with a non-combustible liquid. When a voltage is applied to the coil from an electric power source (battery), it instantly heats up and heats the wick very hard. The liquid in the wick also reaches high temperatures and goes into a vapor state. Received steam and inhale vapers.

Accordingly, if the liquid is flavored, the steam also becomes palatable.

Thus, in order for the atomizer to work properly, the following component elements of the device are needed:

1. Battery acting as a source of electricity.
2. Refilled fluid (usually a replaceable cartridge). It is her wetted wick inside the helix.

A smoker is drawn in through a special mouthpiece. With the help of connecting elements, the battery mode and the atomizer, or, as it is called the tank, form a single electronic device with different characteristics.

Atomizer Classification

The vaping industry is constantly evolving, and manufacturers offer bathers a lot of options. These devices vary in size, design features, spiral resistance, maintenance. In order not to be mistaken in the choice of an atom, it is best to know the main features of one or another type.

Whenever possible service

The most common classification of devices for vaping is whenever possible.

1. Serviced. These are atomizers, the manufacturer of which enables the manual change of the heating element - nichrome spiral.As a rule, inside the construction of such atomizers there are special fixtures for convenient installation of the spiral. Some models allow you to also make an independent replacement of the wick and adjust the device to your taste (for example, adjust the winding of the spiral). This type of atomizers is suitable for those users who do not want to constantly buy new devices - it is easier to replace the necessary elements in an existing device. Perhaps newcomers serviced atomizer seem not the most successful acquisition, but over time, having figured out the range of accessories and having understood the principle of operation, they will opt for this type. Models with full service are found among clearomizers, bacomizezers, drips atomizer.
2. Semi-serviced. In this case, changing the spiral will not work, but the manufacturer allows you to change the whole evaporator, that is, part of the atomizer with a spiral and twisted wicks. In this case, there is no provision for a change in the winding of the spiral, which means that it is impossible to adjust the taste and amount of the generated steam. The replacement process is quite simple: it will be enough just to attach a new evaporator to replace the old one to the main base of the device.In general, it is even more convenient and takes much less time than the painstaking manual installation of the helix into the compartment with fasteners. This type includes the following devices: clearomizers, Ego-C atomizers, DCT tanks.
3. Unattended. These devices are considered disposable. They have a limited service life, because in case of a malfunction, it will be impossible to change the heating element. After a breakdown, you will most likely have to purchase a new model. However, disposable atomizers also have their own varieties: with replaceable cartridges (the most short-lived and inferior in taste to other types), more reliable tube-type cartomizers and clearomizers with a large capacity for liquid.

The degree of resistance of the spiral

As mentioned above, the devices are equipped with a nichrome spiral - the main heating element of the structure. Electrical resistance may vary. Ohm's law, known since the school physics course, states that the greater the resistance, the less current is supplied. In our case, the resistance of the spiral determines how thick and how much steam will be. If the figure is low, then very hot and dense steam is formed at the outlet. The size of the resistance and the number of turns in it affect the resistance value.

1. StandardA: Resistance ranges from 2.1 to 2.6 ohms. Forms a pair of medium density and saturation - this is the most acceptable option for vapers.
2. Low resistance: not more than 2 ohms. These devices generate much more steam than the standard models, but as a result of intensive work, they often fail.
3. High resistance: more than 3 ohms. Steam formation is powerful and rich, the taste of steam is usually bright. These tanks are equipped with a more capacious and high-quality battery than the rest.

By type of construction

The third and rather important criterion by which atomizers are classified is the type of design. In fact, it is the device device that determines its basic qualities.

1. Classic Atomizer Tank. The body consists of an evaporator and a replaceable cartridge, inside of which is a spiral and a synthetic winterizer, impregnated with non-combustible liquid. A metal bridge protects against the direct destructive contact of the spiral with the plastic padding material.In addition, the entire structure is securely shrouded in a metal sponge or meta-foam. In it go the ends of the wick spiral. Thus, the metal bridge and metapena serve as a kind of intermediaries in the interaction of fluid and the body of the helix. The evaporator itself is connected to the battery using a connector. Also in the connector there is a hole through which air is supplied during tightening. All of the above evaporative system is placed in a small metal cap of a cylindrical shape. The classic model is quite simple and looks very stylish, but has some drawbacks. For example, during long-term operation, a plaque forms on the surface of the spiral. It is difficult to clean it, burning is most effective, but this method is very dangerous. The appearance of plaque or soot most often occurs due to stagnation of the fluid in the metapene. As a result, the wetting of the wick becomes weaker, the taste of the steam deteriorates, the helix runs the risk of burnout. In addition, it can burn out and a synthetic winterizer, which also greatly impairs the taste and aroma of the vapor cloud.
   
2. Cartomizer. Here, the evaporator and the replaceable cartridge with the impregnated filler are mounted in one housing in the form of a cylinder. The filler is filled with a syringe through a special hole in the mouthpiece. Most often, cartomizers are a disposable device, and if one of the elements fails, the entire unit will have to be changed. Cartomizers work with electronic cigarettes of the eighth generation, for example, PS Royal, E-puffer Colibri, Smokoff Slim, etc. The advantage of the cartomizer lies in the good density of the pair and its rich taste.
   

3. Clearomizer. As a rule, this modification is made of polycarbonate plastic or glass. Instead of a sinteponovy filler here there is a wick to which the filled liquid comes. The convenience of the clearomizer lies in the transparency of the case, which means that you can constantly monitor the level of the liquid inside the tank. In addition, you can adjust the amount of fluid entering the wick up to the heating coil. Clearomizers can be fully serviced, so you will not be difficult to acquire a new tank or any other necessary item. Models can be repaired and buy replaceable coil for a spiral.The main disadvantage of clearomizers is its high cost compared to other modifications.
   

Top five best e-cigarette tanks

How to determine the best atomizer among the abundance of proven devices and the latest innovations? There are several criteria for identifying the best atomizer, but basically it is the taste and the duration of the puff. There are three types of puffs: hookah, medium and cigarette. If you purchase an electronic device for the purpose of quitting smoking, we advise you to stop the choice on the tanks cigarette puff. The taste of steam is more dependent on the liquid that permeates the synthetic winterizer. It is better to adjust the brightness of the taste yourself, which means you should pay attention only to serviced models. Having determined the main requirements for the purchase of a quality atomizer, we offer you a small rating of the best models. All of them were released during 2016 and 2017, and in a short time they proved to be among the experienced vapers only from the positive side.

5th place - Geek Vape Ammit RTA

In the fifth place of the top there is a tank with one helix and 3D blowing. This device was produced in 2016, and since its introduction has gained popularity among bathers.The reason for this is the excellent taste of steam due to its powerful and versatile, practically three-dimensional blowing inner helix. Air is supplied from two slots at the top and bottom, and air is also supplied from the side.

Inside the structure there are large holes for fastening the spiral, so it will be easy to replace even the beginning vaper.

In the delivery set there is an additional fastening-clip for correct and reliable installation of the heating element. The flow of liquid can be controlled independently due to the holes-slots in the tank. The Geek Vape Ammit RTA tank is easy to refill: just remove the top cover and load liquid into one of the slits. The body is made of stainless steel, the tank itself is glass. The diameter is 22 mm, the volume of the tank is 3.5 ml.

4th place - Billow v2

This model is a novelty with medium tightening, served by the tank maker from the manufacturer Ehpro. This modification implies installation of two spirals. There is a lower airflow in the spiral, while air comes from a pair of holes from the bottom of the base. You can adjust the airflow using the rotary ring. The liquid tank is characterized by large capacity - the volume is 5 ml.

The tank body is made of glass, which means that you can monitor the level of the liquid inside at any time.

The base of the atomizer is equipped with 3 racks with special slots for sturdy mounting of the spirals. The ends of the spiral are held by screws under the cross-head screwdriver. Refueling this bakomizer is simple: it is necessary to turn it with a drip-type down and disconnect the base. Next you will need to fill the liquid through one of the holes for filling, and then gently screw the base back. Minus Billow v2 compared with similar models is in education small amount of steam - to create a huge cloud around you, most likely, will not work.

3rd place - UD Goblin Mini V3 RTA

This modification was developed by UD Technology. The tank consists of five main parts: the base of the device, a removable deck, a dome of the evaporative chamber with an air duct, a body and a topkap - a lid for refueling. The tank can function with one or two spirals thanks to replacement system, and there is a rotary ring adjusting the blower, which can be adjusted to your liking. On the ring you can see a special engraving, meaning the degree of opening of the air inlet.There is also a mark by which you can track the amount of available fluid in the tank.

The volume of this atomizer is 2 ml of liquid, but you can additionally purchase a replaceable tank of up to 4 ml. The flask of the tank is glass, and the glass can be replaced with a new one if necessary.

All you need to fill the tank correctly is to stop filling the evaporator with liquid and unscrew the topcap. Then you just need to pour new liquid into the tank through one of the holes in the base. The obvious advantage of the UD Goblin Mini V3 RTA is its small size, functionality, ease of operation and excellent tight steam. The disadvantage lies in the need purchase additional partsFor example, a larger tank.

2 place - Crius

In the second place of the top there is a serviced Crius atomizer with bottom and side airflow. Tightening - hookah free. The first thing that catches the eye at the sight of the device - rich equipment and a huge selection of spare parts for the unlimited imagination of vapers and full control over the process of soaring. In the box with tank container under the main upper compartment there is a space in which manufacturers put a set of several spirals,part of the wire for self-winding spiral, as well as a piece of Japanese cotton filling. The manufacturer has taken care of a set of duplicate pivot rings and tank glass.

A convenient flow control is carried out in the tankizer: you just need to gently rotate the tank body relative to the base. The diameter is 22 ml, tank volume - 4.2 ml. Crius has the advantage of getting thick and bulky steambesides, the device refuels easily - just slide the tank lid and load the liquid into the opening.

1st Place - Steam Crave Aromamizer RDTA

One of the best tanks of 2017 is the Aromamizer RDTA from Steam Crave. This vaping device is equipped capacious tank volume of about 7 ml. In the newest model, the diameter of the tank is as much as 25 mm. There is a convenient base with two large racks to simplify the installation of the spiral. Blowing the spiral here is done from the side, and it is possible to adjust the air supply to your liking - there is a rotating ring for this.

To fill the tank, you will need to shut off the flow of liquid, turn the top cover and pour the liquid into the tank. Before unscrewing the tank cap, we recommend you pay attention to the corresponding mark.The body of the tank is made of high-quality glass (there is also a spare in the scope of delivery). Thus, the main advantage of this model can be considered convenient refueling, excellent roomy tank and a pleasant rich flavor of the resulting steam.
