Well hello all, today im going to reviewing the Joyetech Delta 23 (triple coil), and the Kanger Aerotank Turbo. Bear with me as I cant write worth ****. Images will come later.
Note to potential buyers of either DO NOT USE EITHER OF THESE without a battery capable of at least a output of 20 amps continuous for safety. No ego batteries.
First up is the Kanger Aerotank Turbo. This massive beast designed for the 26650 mods, and devices is a good looking, pretty well made 2x2 coil tank effectively a quad coil.
The Turbo is a 6ml tank, uses two of the aerotank 1.6 ohm dual coils to give a "quad coil" set up in a tank, which adds up to a .8 ohm at the connector. With the proper amperage one can slap in two of the aerotank sub-ohm coils for even lower impedance vaping (tho with the exception of experienced vapers, I dont recommend doing this, and neither does Kanger do so at own risk). The tank is made of stainless steel, pyrex, and has a adjustable air flow ring on the bottom. The included drip tip is a nice semi wide bore steel piece, that doesnt restrict airflow. The top of the tank has the convergence space for the two chimneys into the drip tip, which removes to allow cleaning of condensate.
Filling: Filling the Turbo is fairly easy, it has a ring that unscrews to separate the base from the tank, and filling is just pouring in the liquid up to the base of the chimneys, which is also easy, the space to fill the tank is wide open, by far the easiest tank i've used to fill.
Airflow adjustment: This sucker is by far, so far the most free flowing tank I've used. 5 large ports feed air into the coil chamber. The intake is simply yawning huge. Open full throttle, there's very little draw resistance allowing full lung draws quickly, and easily. Turning the ring left or right allows airflow adjustment. I typically keep it set to 3, as the airflow is just too much full open.
vaping: now on to the good stuff, this thing vapes great, big clouds, plenty of flavor, and a good throat kick. It takes a sec for the coils to warm up to optimum, one reason why full wide open doesnt work to well. So far no dry hits, no gurgling. It does however plow through the liquid pretty fast, so the tank while a 6ml, will last about as long as a 3ml. Also can beat down a battery pretty good. One con possibly for some could be the airflow. While it flow perfectly for me, someone used to the draw on say a W6 full wide open, or the aerotank turbo full wide open might have issues.
Reliability. The tank is well built, with the pyrex protected by a steel shell. The coil reliability is, well they're Kanger coils so it's a toss up. It does leak, not at bad as a Aerotank, or a Aerotank 2, but it does leak. However the design of the intake helps prevent gurgling. However liquid can still form around the intake port so id take care in transport. Two coils in the system means a bit of frustration trying to figure out which coil to replace in the event of a failure. A bit of a annoyance, but is the nature of the beast.
Next up is the Delta 23 by Joyetech.
My first item from Joyetech, and a simply wonderful tank, by far my favorite. It takes the C3 dual, or triple coil. For this review it's only the triple coil, as I dont have any duals. The tank is pyrex, and stainless steel, with a three large intake ports in the coil base with a 360 degree adjustment ring. The coil is a nifty design, looking down into it, it has two coils stacked parallel on the bottom, with one at the top perpendicular to the bottom two, each coil has what looks like a silica wick inside it, and those wicks are placed against what looks like a cotton, or maybe polyester band in the shell of the coil. Now this band in my opinion does two great things. For one, it acts as a small "cache" if you will to keep the wicks that directly feed the coils with liquid in the event of chain vaping, and long draws. Two it helps prevent flooding, gurgles, and leaks. The triple coil only comes in a 1.4 ohm version The tank it's self holds 6ml of e liquid. The drip tip is a long, plastic...ish drip tip that is actually quite well made, and comfortable, however it's bore is small, and some might opt to go for a wide bore drip tip.
Filling: Filling is average, and typical for a BC tank. Unscrew the base, and fill on the sides. Not hard at all, but not as easy as the aerotank turbo.
Airflow adjustment: The Delta uses 3 slit ports that are regulated by a ring that rotates 360. At it's widest it flows well, and provides for a good lung fill, adjusting down to a hard draw. Due to what I believe is the coil design, the airflow isnt as free flow as the size of the slots would suggest, however it isnt restrictive at all.
Vaping: let me just say, out of all the Kanger tanks, Aspire tanks, even some drippers. This sucker is the best of the bunch offering the best flavor to vapor to throat hit ratios. It's balanced on all three, it when given enough power (over 12 watts) produces clouds of vapor, even besting out the aerotank turbo. No dry hits, no gurgling, and so far (knock on wood) no leaking. The coil visually replenishes itself, seeing bubbles go up as you vape. The C3 triple can handle up to 25.5 watts of power, I havnt pushed mine that far yet due to e liquids burning, on some e liquids it will slam out vapor at 22 watts all day. Like the Aerotank Turbo, the Delta plows through e liquid like a V8 through gas, but like a V8, its worth it.
Reliability: The Delta is very well made, fittings seem aligned right, and no crunchy feeling of the threads. The coils so far are well made, look well made, and have been consistant out of the coil packs. I've so far only had one coil blow out of the 3 coils i've used so far, and the one in my Delta now has gone through 24ml of hard vaping no sign of slowing down (knock on wood) the other coil I only replaced because it was getting gunky, so ill boil them once I have enough of them. The downside is when you do need to buy coils, the C3 coil is one expensive mother, around 5 bucks a coil.
Here's my brief take on two heavyweight tanks.
The clear winner in my eyes is the Delta, however the coil is quite demanding on the battery, so is best mated with at least a mod capable of 20 watts. Its vapor is just stunning for a tank, and my only regret is not finding it sooner. The only cons about the Delta I have is the cost of the coils, but given how well they're made, and perform, its a small con, the air flow(not for me personally), and slight asthetics about the top of the tank. The Delta provides a amazing capacity, insane vapor, lush flavor, and depending on nico level sledgehammer to the throat, throat hit. The Aerotank Turbo is a excellent tank, however it's size, and weight may drive some away.
At a glance.
Kanger Aerotank Turbo
pros: Very good, and full vape,no special coils, large capacity, "quad-coil", inexpensive,no gurgles, no dry hits, inexpensive to maintain, fits well with 26650 mods.
cons: Heavy, large, leaks, coil reliability, only will work well(visually) with 26650 mods.
Joyetech Delta 23
Pros: excellent, and full vape, large capacity, well made consistant coil design, triple coil, no gurgles, no dry hits, no leaks(yet)
Cons: pricy coils, not as free flowing intake as it seems.
