Vape Tanks

Is the Sense Screen tank better than the Falcon tank? Rip Trippers reckons it is… And now I’ve had a go on it I think he’s right – this is one of the greatest mesh coil tanks ever created!

I have a long and loving history with Sense. I’ve used a ton of its tanks over the years and they have always been great. Largely because of the coil heads, but mostly down to expert engineering.

Either way, Sense is a very good brand that makes excellent product – be it sub ohm tanks or rebuildable RTAs.

And now it’s the turn of the Sense Screen Tank, a mesh coil tank that is designed to take on the likes of HorizenTech’s Falcon Tank and GeekVape’s ALPHA.

So is it any good? Let’s take a look, shall we…

Sense SCREEN Tank Design

CHECK PRICES!

The design of the Sense SCREEN tank follows a similar style of what we’ve seen from most of the big players during the past 18 months. You got curved glass, bottom airflow, and a proprietary 810-like resin drip tip.

Stylistically, it kind of reminds me of a hybrid between the Falcon and the UWELL Valyrian. Either way, it’s a great looking tank that is solidly built with great color options.

Speaking of color options, you have the following to choose from:

• Black, Blue, Red
• Black & White, Red & Purple
• Wood
• Black & White with Gold
• Blue & White

Triple & Quad Mesh Coils – The Flavor Makers…

Sense’s Mesh Coils, however, are what really separates this vape tank from the rest of the pack in 2019. The Sense Screen comes with both dual and triple mesh coils in the box.

And this is significant; no one else is doing this.

If you want a triple mesh coil for any of the main players right now, you have to buy it separately.

Sense has clearly listened to the market and has come forward with what people REALLY want – a true mesh coil tank that packs in triple and dual mesh as standard.

Expect to see HorizenTech and GeekVape following suit very soon…

Are The Coils Any Good Though?

HELL YES! The coils that come with the Sense Screen are utterly fantastic. I have been blown away by just how well they perform. Flavor is off the charts and they last EONS as well – both good things.

Rip Trippers reckons the Sense Screen is better than the Falcon Tank, and I have to agree with him. The coil heads here are superior and they deliver better flavor. And if you know the Falcon, you will know that is a BOLD statement to be making.

The Falcon Tank has been sat at the top of our best vape tank guide for the best part of six months. The Sense Screen changed this overnight, however, with its insane flavor and brilliant coil heads.

There is a new sheriff in town, basically. And he’s a proper badass.

Sense SCREEN Specifications

Features – What’s New/Unique?

The SCREEN In Wood – Looks Awesome, Right!? Check Out Full Color Range Here

The main event here is the coil heads. You have dual, triple, and quad coil heads to play with. That means insane vapor production and better than RDA-grade flavor.

The triple and quad mesh coils are phenomenal, kicking out flavor unlike anything I have ever experienced. And the Sense Screen DOES NOT leak, unlike the Falcon tank.

Plenty of users were annoyed by the Falcon Tank leaking. If that was you, good news… the Sense Screen is 100% leak-proof. And it doesn’t require any specialist knowledge to run it either; just prime it and you’re good to go.

As I said earlier, the tank to beat in 2018 was the Falcon Tank. It came, it saw, and it destroyed the competition. But know we have a proper contender for the best vape tank for 2019 in the form of the Sense Screen.

I honestly cannot see anything beating this tank right now. Not the Falcon, not the GeekVape ALPHA. It does everything right from the overall design and finish of the tank, right down to the coil head selection and performance.

Bottomline: Sense has created the ultimate mesh coil tank and you will be hearing A LOT more about this tank throughout the year. And the reason for this is simple: it is now 100% the mesh coil tank to beat…

Can UWELL’s Crown 4 take on the likes of the Falcon Tank and the UWELL Valyrian for the best tank of 2018? 

The original UWELL Crown was perhaps one of the greatest sub ohm tanks ever created.

It originally launched at a time when sub ohm tanks were, well… not all that sophisticated.

The UWELL Crown changed this, bringing immense flavor, excellent coil performance, and massive cloud production to the masses.

It was a hit. Big time.

But the follow-ups to it (The Crown 2 and Crown 3) weren’t all that good.

They were OK, but they lacked the finesse of many of their peers.

So… How does the UWELL Crown 4 do?

UWELL Crown 4 Design

Big. Bold. And Beautiful! The UWELL Crown 4 Certainly Looks The Part – Especially in This Regale Blue Hue (Click Here For All Color Options) 

The UWELL Crown 4 is a very good-looking tank. It’s solid and robust. On top of this, the tank will hold a whopping 6ml of E Juice too.

This is good. Very good. Unless you’re in the UK, then you’re going to have to use a TPD-compliant version which will limit it to 2ml.

UWELL’s kept the Pull N’ Plug coil system from previous Crown iterations and this ensures coils are easy to install and remove.

It’s a cool feature. I actually wish more tank makers would adopt it.

Divisive Purple. This Color Definitely Won’t Suit All Tastes, But For Anyone That Likes Their Vape Tanks LOUD, It Certainly Delivers The Goods!

You know that annoying condensation you get at the bottom of your tank, where the coil head attaches? Well, UWELL’s figured out a way of getting rid of that….

And it actually works, meaning ZERO condensation on your mod or in the base of the tank (where it connects to the mod).

Beyond this, the tank features some brand new coil heads (no mesh ones, though, bizarrely) that are designed for mega flavor and massive clouds.

Overall, the UWELL Crown 4 is a very handsome chap. It’s big and chunky and is designed very much with the user in mind.

I also really like the Pull N’ Plug coil system as well as the overall styling and finish of the tank itself.

🔥6.0ml Max Capacity
🔥Anti Leak Threaded Top Fill Method

UWELL Crown 4 Coils (What… No Mesh!?)

For some insane reason, UWELL has decided to release this tank without any mesh coils.

Why? I have no idea. I guess it’s trying to be different. Thing is… I don’t think this will impress anybody.

How UWELL’s New Coil Heads Work: Rapid Wicking + Excellent Airflow = BIG FLAVOR (See All Coil Head Options Here)

Or, maybe it’s because UWELL is so confident its new coil heads will perform that it has decided to double down on them instead of following the pack with mesh coils?

Either way, these are the available coil heads for the UWELL Crown 4:

• Dual SS904L: 0.2 ohms, 70 to 80W, Organic Cotton
• Dual SS904L: 0.4 ohms, 60 to 70W, Organic Cotton
• SS304 UN1: 0.25 ohms, 55 to 65W, Organic Cotton
• FeCrAl UN2: 0.23 ohms, 60 to 70W, Organic Cotton

Each coil features a bespoke, vertical coil arrangement and triple vertical wicking slots that ensures rapid wicking. This means less time messing around with priming and more time vaping.

I’d still like to have seen a mesh coil included, but the concept of these new coils head does sound very interesting. I just hope they live up to expectation in practice!

UWELL Crown 4 vs. Best of The Rest

All The Colors of The UWELL Crown 4 – Which Do You Like Best?

Right now, UWELL has a TON of competition. There are so many great vape tanks around right now it is impossible to pick a de facto king of the space.

The highest-rated vape tanks we’ve tested in the past 12 months are all listed inside our Best Vape Tank Guide.

Speaking personally, I am a huge fan of the Falcon Tank and the UWELL Valyrian.

I do really like the FreeMax Mesh PRO too.

Bottomline: UWELL has a lot of stiff competition to fend off with the UWELL Crown 4.

UWELL Crown 4 Release Date, Price & Availability

The UWELL Crown 4 is now available; it retails for $33.49 via DirectVapor (FREE SHIPPING).

You have six possible color options to choose from: black, blue, green, purple, rainbow, stainless steel.

The GeekVape ALPHA Tank is freakin’ amazing. I just want to get that out there right off the bat.

I’ve tested what feels like about a million mesh coil tanks in 2018, some were good, some were average… but only a select few have been as good as the GeekVape ALPHA.

Not that anyone should be surprised by this.

GeekVape has been having something of a renaissance in 2018, pumping out brilliant mods, tanks, and RTAs left, right, and center.

The GeekVape ALPHA Tank is the latest offering from the company and, as you can probably already gather, it is very good.

But that’s not the full story.

In order to get a better idea of just how good this tank is we need to go into more detail.

And for that, as always, read on…

GeekVape ALPHA Tank Review

Rocking The ALPHA On The Wotofo FLUX Mod

Design

The ALPHA tank has all the hallmarks of a modern, mesh coil tank. Bubble glass? Check. Longish resin drip tip? Check. Bottom-mounted airflow? Check.

Design-wise, it’s actually nothing that special to look at.

I mean, it just looks like a modern, mesh coil tank – you couldn’t pick it out from the crowd even if you tried.

Side-Profile

But it does have one very cool USP (unique selling point). Access to the kidney refill ports is done via a button which flings open the top section of the tank. This is super handy and I really like it,

There are resin accents along the top and bottom of the tank, and the 810 drip tip is made from resin too, ensuring excellent heat retardation.

The 810 Resin Drip Tip

From top to bottom, the ALPHA tank looks great. Nothing is out of place and the inclusion of the quick-release top cap via a button mechanism is a masterstroke.

GeekVape ALPHA Tank Specifications

• Base diameter 25 mm
• Maximum juice capacity 4 mL
• Stainless steel & resin construction
• High-grade glass
• Geekvape Meshmellow coil system
• Top-fill rotary design – lock button mechanism
• Dual adjustable airflow control at the base
• 810 18-mm wide resin drip tip
• 510 connection

It runs two types of coil: the MM X1 single mesh 0.15-ohm coil (rated for 60-110 watts), and the MM X2 dual mesh coil 0.4-ohm coil (rated for 50-80 watts). Both are packed with premium Egyptian cotton.

Performance

As noted in the opening paragraph of this post, the ALPHA tank is very, very good. I’ve been using it for almost a month and it is easily one of the best mesh coil tanks I’ve used in 2018.

The Button That Fires Open The Top Cap

The flavor is brilliant. Nice and precise – you can really taste your E Juice with this tank. I also really like the draw, it’s nice and smooth and the vapor you get from the coils is mega-dense.

If you’re after a mesh coil tank that delivers brilliant flavor and dense vapor, the ALPHA could be the one to go for.

With the exception of the Falcon Tank, I’d say it is probably one of the best around right now.

GeekVape MeshMellow Coil Performance

Again, very, very good. I had two units to test, so I outfitted each with one type of coil head.

The performance on both is exceptional. I’m almost a month into testing now and the flavor is still 100% on point on both tanks.

The EPIC Coil Heads’ Specs

This is very good, even for a mesh coil tank. I normally expect a week or two from my mesh coils. But to go almost a month without any noticeable drop in flavor is frankly insane.

Whatever GeekVape is doing with its coils is working.

And if you work for SMOK and you’re reading this, you should 100% copy whatever GeekVape is doing because the performance and longevity of these coils is BONKERS!

The coils have ratings associated with them, but during my time with them, I have found that they can handle pretty much whatever you throw at them.

I’ve run them at 120W, 80W, and 75W and the tank performed brilliantly.

Ready To RIP

The vape never gets too hot, nor does the flavor drop off at lower or higher extremes.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve come across a more capable sub ohm tank coil than the one inside the GeekVape ALPHA Tank.

The only real negative about this tank is that it gets through E Juice very quickly at higher wattages. But then so too does pretty much every other high-performance vape tank on market right now.

I also found that the coils prime-up really quickly; you do it in the normal fashion (saturate the cotton and leave it to stand for five minutes). Once this is complete it delivers 100% of the flavor right off the bat.

For me, this was the most impressive thing about the GeekVape ALPHA Tank – how it just delivers flavor right away from a fresh coil.

This is why it was added to our A-List for 2018’s Best Vape Tanks.

The ALPHA Tank | Best Deal For US – VaporDNA ($29.99)

Normally it takes a tank-full of E Juice or thereabouts.

Not here. This thing gives you 100% right away.

Exceptional work, GeekVape!

What I Liked

• The Flavor is Incredible
• Exceptional Coil Head Performance & Longevity
• Solid, Robust Design
• Simple To Use
• Top Cap Release Mechanism
• Excellent Value For Money (It Retails For Just $29.99 via VaporDNA)
