510 Electronic Cigarette

510 Tank Electronic Cigarette

With the advent of the Tornado Tank at the beginning of the year, I thought it would only be a matter of time before the tank system was developed for the standard 510 style batteries, and as I thought the 510 tank system is now freely available, so I decided to give it a try.

I didn’t buy a full kit as I already had a handful of 510 batteries from previous kits, but they are getting a little old now, so I bought a white atomiser from Liberty Flights (Enter VAP10 for a 10% discount) as I already have white 510 batteries, plus two 510 batteries and an atomiser from Mirage Cigarettes, as I like the quality of finish on their products. One thing to note here is that you get 2 tank cartridges with every atomiser from Mirage Cigarettes, with liberty flights and other sellers however, you need to buy the cartridges separately.

As you would expect both these 510 tank systems are easy to use, simply remove the filling cap on the tank cartridge and fill with the e-liquid of your choice, then insert the cartridge into the atomizer and your ready to go, and as the tank cartridges are made from clear plastic you can easily tell how much liquid is in them.

The 510 range is noted for producing good throat hit and plenty of vapour, and the 510 tank is no different, if anything the tank may produce more vapour than the original 510 atomizer design. Something else the 510 range is noted for is that the flavour of e-liquids is muted compared to say a 901 atomizer or a clearomizer, but this isn’t necessarily a negative point. I personally find that some flavours taste better slightly better being muted. It’s just a matter of finding a liquid that you like the flavour of in the 510 tank atomizer, some liquids I prefer in the 510 tank atomizer others taste better in my clearomizers.

I couldn’t notice any difference between the two atomizers that I bought performance wise, both wicked will and produced equal amounts of vapour, but the Mirage Apollo 510 Tank cartridges are of a slightly different design than the standard ones you will get from Liberty Flights, which I presume are a Joytech design.

On the Mirage Apollo 510 cartridges there is a silicone filling cap with a circular hole in it that feeds the atomiser with liquid. With the Joytech design this filling cap is plastic, and the hole that feeds the liquid is sealed on new cartridges so you have to break the seal yourself, on first time use, by pushing them into the atomizer with a bit of force.

The cartridges for the Joytech design come with an outer silicone cap that will allow you to carry filled cartridges around with you without them leaking, The Mirage cigarette variety don’t have this outer cap though, so they will leak if filled and carried around loose. If you have any of the old 510 carts laying around though you can use the silicone caps from them to transport filled cartridges.

Of the two different cartridge designs I prefer the Mirage Cigarette design, as the silicone cap at the end is far easier to remove for filling than the plastic version of Joytech, plus you don’t have to force the cartridge into the atomiser on first use in order to puncture the caps seal. The only downside is that you can’t transport filled Mirage 510 Tank cartridges around unless you have some of the outer caps laying around.

Before rushing out to buy the Mirage Classic 510 Tank cartridges to use with your Joytech 510 Tank atomizers though, there is another difference to consider. The actual 510 Tank atomizer from Mirage Cigarettes is slightly smaller than the one I bought from Liberty Flights. The plastic tanks are also fractionally shorter on the Mirage as well, although with the silicon bung they seem to be exactly the same length overall.

I did use the Mirage Classic atomizers with the Liberty Flights (Joytech) atomizers and didn’t have any leaking issues while in use, but if left laying down for any length of time, say overnight, then there would be some liquid pooled underneath it.

As both Mirage Cigarette and Liberty Flights atomisers have a standard 510 connection they will happily work on any 510 design of battery, so you can use a Mirage Cigarettes 510 tank atomizer with a Liberty Flights (Joytech) battery, or vice versa.

Of the two different versions of the 510 tank system I prefer the Mirage Cigarettes version, not because of performance as both seem to be pretty equal there, but rather on the quality of finish and the fact that the Mirage cigarettes 510 tank is slightly smaller. The finish on all Mirage cigarettes is excellent and doesn’t wear off, the black and gold combination also, I think, looks really smart.
