💨 Airflow & Vapor Production

- Vapor production: Dense
👉 This tank leans more toward:
- Flavor focused
💧 Coil Performance & Longevity
- Coil lifespan: 14 days estimate
- Flavor drop-off: I usually start to see a drop off after a couple of weeks, but some coils have lasted for longer
- Break-in time: Quick
👉 Coil cost: I would say about average. 3 packs are available for +/- $13.00 USD
👉 Real-world take: Some of the best and longest lasting coils I’ve used.
⚠️ Leaking & Reliability
During use:
- Any leaking? There is some condensation and leaks on the lid when you remove the top, but this is to be expected if you move your mod around a lot and travel with it like I do.
- Condensation buildup? Minimal
- Airflow seepage? No
👉 Reliability verdict: Reliable, apart from the leaking on the inside of the lid. With the openings for the juice fill it’s to be expected.
👍 What It Gets Right
✔ Fantastic flavor
✔ Smooth airflow
✔ Solid build, looks awesome
👎 Where It Falls Short
✖ It can be a juice hog
✖ The airflow takes a little bit of getting used to, can be overwhelming at first if you aren’t accustomed to it.
🧠 Who This Tank Is For
This tank is ideal if you:
- Want strong flavors
- Easy to use, take apart and replace coils
- A nice looking tank that performs
Skip it if you:
- Prefer MTL vaping
- Want lower juice consumption
- Want a wide range of coil ohm options
🪑 Final Verdict
I’m a big fan of Hellvape. Damn near everything I’ve bought from them has been great and looks cool. You can find this tank for +/- $25 USD and at that price you can’t go wrong. The coil cranks out fantastic flavors, but you can almost watch the juice level go down as you’re vaping. If you really want the flavors in your juice to shine, this is the tank for you. Yes, it can be a juice hog, but when the flavors are this good I feel like I’m getting my moneys worth and enjoyment out of my juices. I’ve read it has some cross capability with other coils but I’ve never tried it myself, I’ve never felt a need to change what works.
The airflow does take a little getting used to, but after I got used to it this has become my go-to tank. It’s easy to take apart and replace coils, and it feels sturdy and solid. The only other small gripe I have is there are no O rings in the tip, but it doesn’t seem like that’s too common.
This tank has become my go-to, if I wasn’t trying so many other tanks for reviews I’d get more of them.
Score: 9/10
