SMOK TFV16 Review, The Most Powerful Sub-Ohm Tank Ever!
SMOK is back at it again, this time they’ve released an update to the world’s best selling Sub-Ohm tank! This latest tank is called the King TFV16, a massive beast of a tank that takes sub-ohm vaping to a competition level. I’m sure that's been said of Sub-Ohm tanks in the past, but this tank is seriously a viable competitor to RDA’s in vape competitions. But I have to wonder, as I’m vaping this insanely powerful tank, has SMOK gone too far this time? I'm all for giving consumers more bang for their buck, but this is like selling a Prius driver a Bugatti!
In this review I’ll give you the world's first hands on look at the new SMOK TFV16 tank, if you’re a fan of high wattage sub-ohm vaping you’ll definitely want to check this tank out.
The Looks
Unfortunately, since I’m using an early release sample tank, I can’t say too much about the looks. I have a basic version with stainless steel coloring and a very chic red marble resin drip tip. What I can say about this tank, however, is that it’s a BIG BOY.
It comes with a HUUGE extended bubble glass tube so you can fit up to 9mL of E-liquid at a time. With how high the wattage goes on the TFV16 coils you’re going to need ever mL you can get! The base diameter is 28mm so make sure you have a big enough mod to mount this behemoth onto. For reference, it fits very snugly atop my YiHi SXmini SL Class with maybe a micron or two of overhang.
Refills are a breeze with SMOK’s locking twist to open fill ports. Simply press the lock button and swivel the cap counterclockwise to expose the fill port. Thanks to its press to open locking top cap, your tank is more secure from children and household pets. It’s an often overlooked safety feature, but I think it’s one that most people are glad to have.
How it Works
I’m really not sure how to describe just how well this tanks works without sounding like I’m advertising it. I mean I’ve used just about every Sub-Ohm tank on the market and I work for a vaping company, so I’m not exactly unbiased.
From the Freemax Mesh Pro and the DotMod DotTank, to the Brunhilde RTA and more, its safe to say I’ve experienced all the best that vaping has to offer. In all that time I have NEVER come across another tank that performs as well as the TFV16. I’m able to pull bigger clouds and more flavor out of my vape juice than I have with any other tank before. SMOK even extended the height of the tank base so they could fit wider airflow slots.
To give you an idea of what I’m talking about here, let me go over the Wattage ratings they give their coils. The standard single mesh coil that comes included with the tank is rated for 120W. That's their standard coil! The even have a dual mesh coil that's rated for usage up to 160W! Clearly SMOK is taking a bold stance with this new TFV Tank.
This might be the first non rebuildable tank I’ve ever seen that's designed specifically for veteran and professional vapers!
But don’t let that intimidate you, if you’re more of a sub 100W vaper they also have a triple mesh coil option. Although I should mention, that one is rated for best use at 90W.
A word of warning though, this tank blasts through E-Liquid like its nothing. That's part of the tradeoff when you start vaping at higher wattages. Sure you might get a much bigger cloud, a more satisfying hit, and fantastic flavor with 100W+ vaping but that comes at the expense of your E-Liquid.
The Verdict
I’ve been doing these product reviews more frequently now and this section is still the hardest part for me. Obviously, I recommend most of the products I review for a wide variety of reasons. Because most tanks and devices are geared towards beginner to moderate level vapers, I tend to give them a little more leeway in terms of the users I think will enjoy those devices.
But with the TFV16 I have to add a word of caution to the inexperienced vapers out there. If you already have a TFV12 and you want to get a TFV16 because you think its a newer version of that same great platform you’d be very wrong. This new TFV16 tank goes far beyond what any Sub-Ohm tank on the market is currently capable of and should not be taken lightly. I would say, for the best experience possible, you should only use this tank with dual battery 180W+ capable mods.
Now let me take off my nanny gloves and get real with you veteran vapers. This tank provides some serious power and more performance capability than I’ve ever seen in a production sub-ohm tank. If you’re looking for a tank that can replace your RDA’s and RTA’s, in terms of flavor and cloud production, then you’ve got to check out this new TFV16 Sub-Ohm tank from SMOK.
