Vaping has really grown in popularity in the UK. According to Chemist4u:
“Between 2012 and 2017, the number of UK residents turning to e-cigarettes skyrocketed by 314%, from 700,000 to 2.9 million.”
If you are a vaping newcomer, you may be oblivious to how vaping works and be unaware of what happens when you vape. Let us look at one of the components of an e-cigarette – the vaping tank.
A definition for vaping tanks
The area that stores e-liquid and helps to create the vapour that is linked to vaping, is usually known as a “vape tank”. This is a component of the overall APV (advanced personal vapouriser). The APV is also called a ‘mod’, numerous types are available for customisation and personal tailoring.
Understanding about the vape tank comes in handy when using and caring for your kit.

How does a vape tank work?
As we have seen from the earlier definition, the vape tank is a component of the Advanced Personal Vapouriser (APV). The tank stores e-liquid, prior to its vapourisation.
Most often the tank is located above the battery. Most tanks are cylindrical with a metal bottom and top and a body made from glass.
A stem goes all the way to the centre of the tank where it attaches to the coil. This in turn links the mouthpiece to the bottom section of the tank. The vape tank feeds a wick until the vape juice is finished, at this time new juice will need to be added.
How do you fill a vape tank?
Filling a tank can be achieved using several methods. There is one common rule of thumb: do not allow the e-liquid to contaminate the chimney (also called the centre tube). This is because it can lead to performance issues from the coils filling up with excess e-liquid, which could also cause a leak and general performance problems
When filling a vape tank it is important to be careful. Tilt the tank to enable the vape juice smoothly flows down the tank’s inside.
Most tanks may have clear indicators that show the maximum fill level and capacity and will guide you on the amount of e-liquid to use. If your tank does not have these indicators, ensure that you do not over-fill the tank. Avoiding overfills is important as it prevents the centre tube from contamination as you reassemble the APV components.
Once you are finished adding the e-liquid, leave the vape juice to acclimate for ten minutes. This helps avoid burning sensations and tastes while making for a smoother vaping session.
How do I clean my vape tank?
Vape tanks need to be cleaned and maintained regularly and consistently to enable your device to operate optimally and have a smooth vaping experience.
Rinse your tank regularly to cut on the buildup residues of e-liquid that gathers within it. Disassemble all the components and simply wash them clean using hot water, then dry them and place them as you found them back in the tank.
Modern designs of vape tanks enable all components (mouthpiece, coil, as well as the bottom) to be removed individually meaning you can wash them separately.
