Could somebody recommend me a small tank?

Hi everyone.

Today I received the Tesla Nano, and am really liking it's size, and currently using a derringer with a single 1 Ohm, 26G 2MM ID coil at around 17W.

I am really looking for a tiny tank to go with the mod. Preferably an RTA, or a tank with an RBA section.

I do have the goblin mini, and have rebuilt that with a single coil, but I find on occasions it can be a bit leaky. It hasn't leaked yet, with a full tank sitting in it-but I really would like a new, tiny tank to go with the Tesla.

Juice capacity isn't a big worry, as I can always refill. The only thing I dislike about the goblin mini is the bottom fill screw-so something that is top/side fill would be great.

So, if anyone can recommend me a tiny tank to go on a tiny mod, that would be a big help :).

Thank you all, Conan.

Smok has the new tfv4 micro, was checking it out myself. And there's always the goblin mini if air flow isn't an issue.

There is a Goblin Mini V2. No more fill screw and a few other of the old complaints have been solved. I have both the Goblin Mini V2 and the Billow Nano V2 and both are great tanks. Goblin slightly edges out the Billow on flavor, but the Billow is by far built better. Kind of like comparing a Crotch Rocket to a Cruiser Motorcycle. They're both fast "flavor" but one is built more for performance and the other for comfort.

Check out the Diablo, clone works great, can snatch one off eBay for ~$20, or if you're willing to wait from china for $10-15. The one thing to note is there are 2 different sizes, you can tell the difference easily by looking at the chimney, the larger version has what looks like ~7-10mm of chimney, the smaller version has maybe 1-2mm. The smaller version without the drip tip is about 33mm in height.

As said though if you like the Goblin there is a v2 with top fill. The Diablo has a velocity style and larger deck though, which is nice.

With the EU Regs about to kick in, we should be seeing a fuck-ton of new 2ml tanks.

I've been enjoying the Bachelor RTA a lot, so I'm actually looking forward to reviews of the upcoming Nano version.

It doesn't have an RBA section but I've been loving my Herakles v2. Nice and small and getting great performance out of it and a great coil lifespan.

Not a very popular rta but performs better than my griffin and moonshot:

Zero leaks. I'd also suggest the moonshot but it does leak if not wicked right. The Moradin has a great air and juice flow control. Taste is better than any of my rta's.

Do you know what-I didn't know there was a V2 of the goblin mini out.

I quite like the billows too, I own 2 of the v2 billows, the question is, do I go for something I know I already like-or try one of the other mentioned tanks, that all look great?

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I will look into all the tanks mentioned and see which I like the most :).

And @Neunerball, that would be perfect, I am just worried due to it's size it may not be as tough as a regular tank :p

I like the look of that-I must ask though, is it very small? I don't actually own a mini volt myself (Battery life was a concern for me), it is probably just how small the mini volt is making it look bigger.

Sounds great on the taste front-do you know how it performs with higher resistance coils, and is a single coil build possible in there?

If it is-I think this may be the tank, if not, a Goblin Mini V2 (I didn't know they existed-don't know how I missed that one), or a Billow V2 Nano. Or a Diablo. Bloody hard to choose lol.

Mini volt IIRC is about 55mm tall. So if I had to guess minus the drip tip that thing is around 35mm just guestimating from the picture.

Thank you to everyone that helped me out.

In the end, I decided for a Diablo 2 tank. I was a bit naughty and got a clone from FT though.
At first, I thought it was too big, until I realised that all the tanks include the 510 connection and drip tips in their measurements.

Only thing is, I was torn between the Goblin Mini V2 due to it's single coil capabilities, and the Diablo, without them. I then realised with the build deck how simple it will be to just block the channels on one side, as I have done with other tanks, if I really want single coil use. (I want to maximise battery life-I have been using a 1Ohm coil at around 16.5W with the Derringer, and around 17.5W on a 0.78 single coil on the OG goblin mini.

I quite like slightly higher resistance builds (Not exclusively, most of my vaping is sub ohm and around 40W or so) at lower wattages, but with the tesla nano, I was wondering just HOW a 3600MAH Li-Po can be inside the mod due to it's size. All 1200MAH(Which would be a 3600MAH Li-Po, unless it is a 2S Lipo then it would be a 1800MAH pack-much larger than the actual mod, but battery life DOES seem to be very good, I have not charged it yet and it was my exclusive mod yesterday).

I know they claim there is actually TWO Li-Pos in their providing the power, but I do not see how they would fit.

So, now the wait begins from FT. I do prefer FT, but must say gearbest is faster with their British express option. Things arrive within 5 days using that option-but, I could not find the Diablo 2 on there.

So, for now the derringer RDA and my V1 Goblin mini will get used until I get the diablo :).

EDIT: @JERUS, I really liked the tank you recommended, but I will be honest-I only had enough to get a clone tank, I allow myself a certain amount every 2 weeks for vape gear, I know if I dip into my savings I won't put it back if I am honest.

I have ordered the Istick Pico for Cheyenne though, in pink, I think next time I may order the Pico for myself, along with the tank you recommend.
I really enjoyed using the nano yesterday, no comments of "What is that in his hand, why is it so big", people couldn't even SEE I had a mod in my hand. I quite liked that :).

I got my PICO on Monday. May have to get another.
We know the performance of the current generation of JT/Wismec/Eleaf TC, and it's good. Sorry MiniVolt and Nugget fans.

If there's a downside... it's that without a riser of some sort, the batt cap means no 25mm toppers. Or tanks with wider AFC rings... ex: the Crown.

I've been enjoying the eLeaf Pico since Saturday, the melo 3 mini is a good tank and the istick finally lost the button rattle! As for the original question, I'd suggest the TFV4 Micro or the Melo 3 Mini. The Melo uses the Atlantis/Triton coils and the hidden AFC is pretty cool. The TFV4 Micro Kit comes with the RBA and extensions for 3.5 and 5 ml tank.
P.S. I'd have to add that the TFV4 Micro is slightly better on flavor, it could be the Clapton coil!

I ended up going with the Diablo 2.5ML, I did get a clone due to funds at the moment if I am honest.

I am going to order myself a Pico though this weekend when I am payed, so will want a tank for that too, so I am sure another tank mentioned here will get purchased.

I can't find any stockists of the Pico in the UK though, so I think it may be a China order, same as the Tesla. I only want these mods due to the size, a bit bored of carrying huge mods, with these you can't even see them in your hand :).

I was tempted by the Mini volt, but the issue there is battery life. I know it won't last me long enough, and won't get used, so would just be a waste unfortunately.
