Restricted Direct Lung Tank Recommendations

[Goose Girl]

I have recently discovered restricted direct lung vaping, and it suits me perfectly, but I need a good tank. The loose draw and airy vape is great, but I am still a modified MTL vaper, so I like low wattage. I am currently using 0.5 coils on a Vaporesso Veco tank, but I would like to pick up a few options during the Labor Day sales. I will not be building my own coils, so it must have good pre-built coils.

Any suggestions?

I like the Ego One tanks with CLR coils. They are easily rewickable/rebuildable but are cheap enough to be disposable. I like a restricted DL inhale too. The .5 ohm coils are more airy than the 1 ohm coils.

A lot of people like the Subtank and its many variants. It has good air control and a very wide variety of coils.

I second the Ego Mega v2 tank....very good

As is the Subtank mini. I use both. Can't really tell much difference between the vape on either.

Subtank has RBA and the Ego has CLR rebuildable coils.



Mt Baker has the Subtank Mini bottom fill for $13.99. comes with RBA and two other coils.

Beat me to it. Top of the line tank with 4ml capacity and very versatile.

Best price on the planet:

Kanger Mini SUBTANK Clearomizer

That's already on clearance.

Thanks guys, but that is not really what I am looking for. I guess I didn't describe it well enough. I want a direct lung tank, but I am more into flavor than clouds, and I have found that many of the direct lung tanks are not flavor oriented, and have coils that burn out fast. I still MTL in the mornings, but direct lung in the afternoons, so I might pick up a few of the tanks you suggested for mornings tanks. I am really clumsy before my coffee, so cheap replacement tanks are a great idea.

I will never rebuild, so that really is not necessary. Unfortunately, arthritis has taken my fine motor skills, so I would never trust the safety of my own build.

Might look into the Nautilus X because it might be what you looking for.

Thanks for the input, but I am looking for something with a much looser draw.

You said you want a Restricted draw which you can achieve with the N-X but also can open the A/F and have a very unrestricted draw. I am using it as I type this and I think you should test one out.

I'm a MTL vaper that likes an airier draw. The Subtank/Toptank would seem to fit your needs. They have coils both for MTL and DL vaping. I mainly rebuild the RBA, but do also use the 1.5 coil heads. @Coastal Cowboy linked a great price that may be worth giving it a try and see?

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Maybe a kangar sub tank mini / top tank mini.
Widely variable air flow, has a selection of replaceable heads in various Ω, 2 specifically for MTL, 5 others for DTL.

The Nautilus 2 is a good choice, I started MTL on that. Everyone was saying the best tank for drop in coils and MTL flavor is the Kabuki and the newest version holds 3 ml, not 2 like the Nautilus 2, I sprung for the original as I was told it IS better than the clones, but some of the clones are great. I do NOT regret my purchase in ANY way, it was the best flavor I've ever tasted for drop-in coils and even though I'm using those same Nautilus BVC coils, they are lasting longer, (surprisingly so), the flavor is WAYYY better, and I like the increased tank capacity. It might be worth getting a clone to check it out and see how you like it. I actually own the Nautilus X but it arrived a day after my Kabuki, and right now I'm obsessed with THAT. Great airflow adjustment to vape exactly at the style you want (more airy, or tighter draw) it doesn't drink juice, and it's an easy fill, even though it IS bottom fill, the tank kind of comes completely apart, and you aren't dropping juice into tiny holes.

The tank cost me more than any other single item vape purchase (other than Nic base) but I do not regret spending one dime of what I did.

You might try the Nautilus 2 as it's cheaper, and if you like it upgrade to a clone, and/or start with a Kabuki clone to see if you like the tank.

Best of luck, Goosegirl!

Folks, I don't want a MTL tank. I have used the Nautilus and the Subtank, and they are great. I am looking for a direct lung tank that has an adjustable airflow that can be restricted enough that I am not clouding up a room to a ridiculous level. We are going in opposite directions.

 

[stols001]

Doood, I'm sorry (early in my coffee drinking). Uummm... DL and adjustable airflow.... The Cleto, maybe? The airflow's super adjustable, but I couldn't get low enough to not cloud up a room... I might ask this question in the tanks section, or check out tanks people are liking that are crossovers.

You can DL on an Nautilus 2 using the 0.7 coil, or even if you have the original Nautlius, you could put a 0.7 coil in there, maybe? I haven't done that. But, I can DL the Nautilus 2 if I want quite easily without room fog, using the 0.7 coil and the correct adjustment, but it does use a smidge more juice, the issue being that you will be refilling more quickly. I think it's almost easier to adjust a MTL tank that comes with sub0hm coils that aren't too intense than the other direction, but I haven't used a ton of DL devices. If you want to build your coils, then you have lots of options and oftentimes can build to exactly what you want. The Nautilus X survival kit might work for you too, it's a pretty versatile kit and also comes with a tank extender and a RTA deck, so you could try it in various fashions and I got the tank and kit for under $30, now I wish I'd vaped it to give a more definitive answer for you.

I honestly think it may be easier to setup a crossover tank from the "MTL" ranges than to lower airflow to where you want to get it, because if the coil has a low resistance which most DL tanks do, you're still going to be using enough wattage to give you some reasonable clouds, whereas there are "MTL" crossover COILS and airflow setups that might give you that experience on the right settings. Buying some 0.7 nautilus coils and putting them in your Nautilus might be a cheaper first step?

But, I'm not a DL person, though I've tried a couple. I hope you get your better answers soon!

Apologies for misunderstanding....

Anna, the quartz tank on the Kabuki is a turn off for me. I am very hard on tanks, and the Pyrex is a little harder to break. Have you tried the Smok spiral tank? That is what I use when I MTL in the morning. The flavor is outstanding, restricted draw, but not very adjustable, and really inexpensive.

[stols001]

Goosegirl, I haven't. The Kabuki I got came with a pyrex replacement. I'm using the quartz one ATM but I've knocked it over once and dropped it once (not from a GREAT height), and it has been fine. I expect it to die eventually, but I have the pyrex replacement. I bought the Titanium limited edition though, not sure if the other versions have it included. That being said, the clones are most likely pyrex (I don't know that for sure) but it's easy to get replacements on FT or whatever. I do think the Kabuki and a 0.7 coil with the airflow wide open might give you a great vape and perhaps what you are looking for. This is kind of an odd situation where I'd RECOMMEND a clone because from what I've heard they aren't BAD, I picked one up at FT for under $15 for my backup tank when out and about, and IMO with the better fill size, and the more adjustable airflow, this might be a great tank for crossing over for you, but I wouldn't spend that much on an original just to find out

Don't people use vape bands to protect their glass tanks anymore??

It's on my "things to buy when I get around to it" list...

Well i recently got the triton 2 from aspire, has coils for both mtl and dtl should you choose to change it up, the airflow is limited and imo it's a restricted dtl with it's .5 coil, thing is restricted or not it's still mostly sub 0hm so anything from .5-.7 0hm should be what you're looking for coil wise. For flavor i'd consider Freemax they have some good models with coils that seem to last a while tbh. I use the Fat Scylla Sv, has a 4-4.5 ml capacity and awesome flavor.

The Kangar Subtank / top tank is a DTL delivery device with easy open airflow that can also be used MTL by restricting airflow via the airflow controller.

Clouding up a room has more to do with pg/vg ratio, power level used, strength / length of inhale, airflow & resistance of the head.
Vapor production is a result of a fairly matched combination of all the above, restricting airflow enough to reduce vapor output using a DTL 'tank' is gonna create problems, flooding, leaking, over heating, burning wicking material, reduced head life.

One reason you're not getting suggestions you like is it seems you're looking for two completely different types of delivery devices all in one.
One that is equally as good for MTL as it is for DTL using the same replaceable head, adjusting only the airflow control. Airflow is the heads cooling system.

I've used both the smoke spirals and spirals plus delivery devices, if the kangar sub/top tank wasn't an improvement in your opinion probably best to stick with the spirals.
