Here are some tips for using sub-ohm tanks: Be sure read the user manual of your sub-ohm tank carefully before using it. For a great combination of vapor and flavor, use e-liquids with more than 50% VG. Be sure to prime your sub-ohm coils before using. Wait at least 5 minutes before vaping so that the wick can fully saturate the e-liquid. Arctic 5 Pack Replacement Coils 0.2 Ohm BTDC.

The original Horizontech Arctic Sub Ohm tank was a great tank on paper than unfortunately was massively let down by very poor build quality of the tank itself, leaking issues and extremely questionable quality control on the coil heads, that was widely reported across the vaping fraternity by reviewers and consumers alike. It seems like Horizontech listened to the feedback, and have come up with the Horizontech Arctic Turbo, which has been redesigned from the ground up, the only resemblance to its predecessor being the name.

Most interestingly the Arctic Turbo also sports a coil configuration never seen before in any other sub ohm tank I am aware of, with three dual vertical coils placed independently of each other in the base of the tank, and the Arctic Turbo can be run with either one, two or all three of these coil heads in place, and Horizontech claim the coils can handle up to 120 watts. The coil placement is a really interesting feature and something I was really keen to test out! The whole tank itself sports a completely different look to the original Arctic tank, with top and bottom airflow included, a whole new appearance and a bump in capacity to 3.5ml.

Does the radical redesign from Horizontech make for a killer sub ohm tank? Let’s find out…

Specs

  • Dimensions: 3-1/4'L x 7/8'D (Including threads)
  • 22mm Diameter
  • Can be configured to use 1,2 or 3 Dual coil atomizers with the included spacers (coil stoppers)
  • 3.5ml Juice Capacity
  • Convenient top filling
  • 510 Threaded
  • 304 Stainless Steel Construction
  • Glass Tank
  • Intuitive Sextuplet Coil Design (0.2 ohm when using all three atomizer heads)
  • Top and Bottom Adjustable Airflow Control
  • Top Turbine Cooling System
  • Stainless Steel Wide Bore Drip Tip
  • RBA Head Option (Sold Separately)

What's in the box?

There’s a fair amount included in the retail box here, inside the packaging you get:

  • 1x Horizontech Arctic Turbo tank with three pre installed 0.6ohm BTDC coils for a final resistance of 0.2ohm
  • 3x replacement 0.6ohm BTDC coils
  • 2x replacement ‘coil stoppers’ (described as ‘coil models’ by Horizontech)
  • 1x Replacement pyrex glass tank section
  • 4x replacement o-rings
  • 1x User Manual

It’s worth taking time out to read through the user manual to get a grasp of how the coil system works, and if you are new to sub ohm tanks this does contain important safety information.

Horizontech Arctic Turbo Looks and Capacity

Looks wise, the Arctic Turbo bears no resemblance to it’s predecessor, the Horizontech Arctic Sub Ohm tank. If you took the logos away and stood these tanks side by side, chances are you wouldn’t even know they came from the same manufacturer. The capacity has received an increase to 3.5ml and the Arctic Turbo is a taller tank than the previous version, there’s an even wider bore drip tip as well as top and bottom airflow.

It’s constructed of stainless steel with a pyrex glass tank section, and in hand it feels solidly made. It’s a little on the tall side, one of the tallest tanks I have come across for sure, but I can’t have complaints about the build quality. It’s top filling, so the top cap screws off to reveal the top fill port, which is a nice wide slot able to accept pretty much any bottle nozzle you can think of. Inside here is also a small removable fan, known as the Top Turbine Cooling System, which helps even more to cool down your vape as well as provide a level of spitback protection too. I will say one thing, and that is the Top Turbine Cooling System definitely creates a loud whistling noise, which some users may be uncomfortable with, if it does bother you then you can remove the fan without affecting the vape too much I have found.

Horizontech Arctic Turbo Airflow

With a top and bottom adjustable cyclops airflow slot the airflow is absolutely gargantuan with the Arctic Turbo, the huge bottom airflow maximises airflow intake for huge vapour production, the top airflow will cool your vape down at high wattage when wide open, or keep it warm when closed off. I’d highly recommend keeping it open when going above 70+ watts, as with it closed things can get uncomfortably hot. The airflow control ring itself is smooth and easily adjusted, and when you have set it to your desired airflow setting it stays in place until you change it. Airflow is also influenced by the Top Turbine Cooling System, which spins to cool the vapour down and also, Horizontech claim, increase vapour production too.

Horizontech Arctic Turbo Coils and Performance

As we have covered above, the Arctic Turbo sports a new coil system that has three individual dual vertical coils each inserted separately from each other into the deck. Each of these new BTDC coils has a resistance of 0.6ohms and with three of these together, you have a final resistance of 0.2ohm. You can use one or two of these coils rather than all three, simply by swapping out the BTDC coil for one of the coil stoppers, however I didn’t get terribly good flavour or vapour production by using any less than three of the BTDC coils.

The new BTDC coils are a big improvement on the old problematic Arctic coils, with a much more solid build quality and there’s no need to boil them before use this time around! Each coil is a dual vertical coil set up and is 0.6ohm each, and the lifespan of these is far better than it was the first time around too, with the coils lasting me two weeks before needing a change. You can replace individual coils, so if one burns out it can be swapped out for another.

I have found that you need an absolute minimum of 60w to get going with this tank, anything less just results in a very weak experience. At 80w, this tank really starts kicking out some quite incredible clouds and when you go over 100w and start approaching the 120w mark, it’s really quite something else. Just ensure you have the top airflow wide open when over 100w as otherwise it really does have a tendency to get scorching hot! Flavour with this tank isn’t particularly impressive, it’s an improvement on the original but it is still average at best, but that’s not what this tank is about- this tank is all about throwing down the biggest clouds humanly possible. I’ve been running it at 100-110w and just having some great fun with it chucking some huge clouds of vapour around with high VG juice and generally annoying my missus by clouding out not just rooms but entire areas in seconds!

With a cloud chasing sub ohm tank, chances are you will be using high VG juice to maximise your cloud performance, and the Arctic Turbo is great at wicking high VG juice. I used juices at up to 90VG and the Arctic Turbo wicked them with ease, it didn’t seem to struggle with the wicking aspect at all and I have only experienced two dry hits with this tank. That being said, it’s an extremely thirsty tank, even though the capacity is 3.5ml you will be going through tanks of juice in no time.

Conclusion

If you are looking for a high power tank with huge airflow that can really chuck the clouds, then look no further than the Horizontech Arctic Turbo, as this is quite arguably the very best of the bunch when it comes to flinging out the vapour! There’s not many tanks around that can match the Arctic Turbo on sheer vapour production, coupled with high VG juice and 80+ watts of power you’ll have in your hands a portable fog machine that can cloud a room out in seconds.

It’s good to see Horizontech have righted the issues raised with the original Arctic tank, with the Arctic Turbo providing coils of a much better quality this time, and a tank with a far better build quality that hasn’t leaked on me as yet. Plus, it can handle the high power, though it does get a little warm! If cloud chasing is your thing and you are looking for a tank that throws the biggest, and densest clouds, then the Horizontech Arctic Turbo is the one I would recommend!

It’s gotten much harder these days to find the best sub ohm tank, as a flurry of new products have hit the shelves the last few months. Sub ohm tanks are relatively new type of product, blurring the line between RDA and clearomizer performance.

It’s hard to argue that rebuildable dripping atomizer setups have tended to deliver a much more potent vaping experience than standard clearomizers and tanks, but for the vape enthusiast who values simplicity over all, it’s tough to beat the convenience that these setups offer: just fill it and go as long as it works, then change the atomizer (or toss it and spend another $10) when it doesn’t.

That being said, there’s no real reason why a savvy vaper shouldn’t be able to have the ultimate in flavor and convenience.

After all, technology is about eliminating hard choices, not making more, and so to say a product like the Horizon Tech Arctic Tank has its place in the market is an understatement.

The Arctic tank is a superior option for those who like tanks such as the Aspire Atlantis, using its organic cotton coils and quad intake valves to deliver the flavor and punch of RDA vaping with the laze-friendliness of more conventional tanks. At least, that’s what the ads say. Let’s dive in shall we?

What’s New- Arctic Tank

Put quite simply, the Arctic Clearomizer Tank was designed by Horizon Tech to be THE sub-ohm tank. Its quad intake features elliptical holes for improved airflow and the organic cotton coils are specially manufactured to wick juice more efficiently for more flavor in every draw.

The custom coils for the Arctic Sub-Ohm tank come in two varieties, 0.2ohm, with a suggested range of 20-80w, and 0.5ohm, which has a suggested wattage range of 20-60w. Though the max suggested wattage is 80W, it does vape well up to 100w. All told, this is a tank designed to finally bridge the gap between traditional tanks and RDAs.

It sounds like a description of the Batmobile’s transmission, but what does it mean?

Well, BTDC technology features 4 huge air intakes at the base of the tank and vertically wired dual coils. So it means incredible airflow and vapor production, that’s what.

Suggested Mods for the Arctic Tank

Innokin iTaste MVP3

If you’re going to seek out a top-flight tank like this, you’ll want a reliable long-term dance partner with all the necessary features, and few devices fit that description like the iTaste MVP 3.0 from Innokin.

The MVP 3.0 features variable voltage and wattage as well as a true hoss of a USB-charged internal battery that’s nearly legendary for its ability to shrug off a skipped night’s charge. It even serves as a mobile power source for the puny electronic devices with less stamina than itself!

The max wattage of the MVP3 is 30W, so you can only vape this tank on the lower end of the suggested wattage. It also only fires down to 0.4 ohms, so your only option would be the 0.5ohm coil heads. We took a longer look at the iTaste MVP 3.0 here so you can get the full story on this popular mod.

Sigelei 100w Box Mod

If you’re looking to test the limits of what your new tank can do, there may be no better beast than the Sigelei 100w Box Mod. This monster mod features up to 100 watts of vaping power.

Since power without control is an imminent disaster; a manufacturer-exclusive build of the famed YiHi chip provides advanced regulation and device stability features.

Organic Cotton Coils

The vaping community at large was first introduced to the OCC build with the release of the Kanger Subtank back in December.

Since than, the organic cotton coils’ construction has become the conduit of choice.

Organic Cotton Coils deliver cleaner, truer e juice flavors than other materials like silica. Many veteran vapors compare their first hit of juice from an OCC build to tasting their favorite flavor for the first time.

We were excited when we browsed the spec list and saw Horizon Tech went for the gold, as it’s pretty tough to go back once you’ve made the switch.

Ice Cold Coils

The coil heads of the Arctic Tank are another redesign from traditional tank models, specially engineered to keep the tank and its mouthpiece cool regardless of the attached mod’s power and discharge level.

Anyone who has ever scorched their lip on a hot mouthpiece when pushing through about 120 watts knows how welcome an innovation that is.

Battle of the Sub-Ohming Clearomizers

Sub Ohm Tank Clearance

It doesn’t matter if you’re a newb vaper, or a seasoned vet; the evolution of the clearomizer has left it’s mark. It has been a heated battle now between Kanger, Aspire & Innokin since the beginning.

When Aspire released the Atlantis tank, we knew this was only the start. These companies are creating better products that will have your grandma chain vaping within days.

Aspire Atlantis Clearomizer

The Aspire Atlantis tank is a sub ohming monster. Released late in 2014 (December), this clearomizer had even better success than the Nautilus.

With a tank capacity of only 2ml, that’s really the only major downfall of this device. Everyone welcomes ease of sub ohming with this beauty!

Kanger Subtank Clearomizer

Shortly after the release of the Atlantis (Jan. 2015), Kanger was already prepared with their first run into sub-ohm land.

The one thing the Subtank has that the Atlantis doesn’t; tank size. The Kanger Subtank holds an impressive 6 ml of juice. Back that up with a colored red finish around the tank edges, make the Subtank stand out.

Standing Ovation

We won’t keep you in suspense long: we love pretty much everything about this tank. Its airflow and vapor production are outstanding at a wide range of power levels, even generating some of those vape shop clouds that are next to impossible with most clearomizers.

Speaking of power levels, the Arctic Clearomizer fears no device. From a garden-variety 30 watt box mod to the newer models that are quickly approaching 200w, all the way up to 300+ watt custom mods (not that the instruction manual instructs anyone to try it), the Arctic Tank shrugs and goes to work with little issue.

Even better, it does its heavy lifting in near-silence, unlike some other tanks whose loud cracking and popping at higher voltage levels can be compared to the guy at the gym who has to unleash his audible rage during his entire workout. For powerful mods, the Arctic Tank is a clear choice.

Flavor & Vapor Production

Of course, none of the great specs of the Arctic tank matter if the vapor produced tastes like it’s burning, but fortunately flavor is where the Arctic Tank truly shines.

The Horizon Tech Arctic tank consistently produces a dense vapor full of the deepest flavor profiles of our favorite juices. It also adds an element rarely seen in standard clearomizers: that comforting warmth that keeps RDA builders tinkering away at all hours of the night.

It once seemed impossible to get that kind of performance from a clearomizer, but here it is. Welcome to the future of vaping. Yes, it’s 2015.

Digging for Gripes

If we’re going to dig for complaints about the Horizon Tech Arctic Tank, one is that the Pyrex tank is non-removable.

This makes it more difficult to clean and if it breaks, you’re out of luck.It also goes through e juice at a ridiculous rate. If you look closely during an intense vaping session, you can actually watch your juice slowly drain away with this tank.

However, in fairness, that’s just the drawback of such a powerful tank setup. What do you think is in all those giant delicious clouds of aroma and flavor?

Final Thoughts

Sub Ohm Tanks For Sale

Overall, we highly recommend the Arctic Tank to anyone who vapes. If you’re a high-wattage vaper, this tank offers the total package in performance and flavor for your more powerful builds.

If you’re a mid-range vaper with a mod that doesn’t double as a tazer, it still offers one of the best vaping experiences on the market.

Just remember that the coil heads are 0.2ohm and 0.5ohm, so make sure that your vaporizer of choice can handle resistances this low. The Horizon Tech Arctic Sub-Ohm Tank is a true standout, and one that few if any will regret adding to their collections.
