Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Falcon Sub-Ohm Tank 7ml (metal edition) from Horizontech. The Horizon Falcon Sub-Ohm Tank 7ml was supplied for the purpose of this review by Pearl from Cigabuy.

Introduction
Sub-ohm tanks really had started to lose popularity with many who used them switching exclusively to RTA's and RDA's until 2018 when they have bounced back mainly due to the knockout flavour you can get from a mesh coil. The Falcon to the best of my knowledge started the acceleration of this fightback after Freemax had started it. On it's release it was greeted like a real champion of sub-ohm tanks with it's use of different wicking materials that give clean flavour and longevity and is still the tank that 2018 sub-ohm tanks are compared to, making it a very modern benchmark. Their are now other very good sub-ohm tanks out there as well as the Falcon and Freemax, both the Alpha and Bulldog i rate highly but would they exist if it wasn't for the Falcon? well probably but even though i'm late in the day it's still worth having a look!

In the Box
Contents:
1 x HorizonTech Falcon Tank
1 x 0.2ohm F1 Falcon Coil
1 x 0.15ohm M1 Mesh Falcon Coil
1 x 5ml Spare Glass Tube
1 x Set of O-Rings
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aesthetics
The Falcon comes in clear plastic octagonal presentation casing with all the included items in the bottom section and then the Falcon with pre-installed Resin 510 wide bore drip tip, M1 mesh coil and 7ml bubble glass standing on a little stand occupying the top section of the casing proudly. I received the Gunmetal Version, the Falcon metal edition which i received is also available in Carbon Black, Stainless Steel, Rainbow, Black, Green, Red, Blue, Pearl White, Brushed Bronze, Rose Gold, Purple and Orange. As mentioned the Falcon comes with installed wide bore Resin drip tip which tapers inwards towards the tip. The top-cap has machined heavy textured design which is excellently machined, the cap tapers outwards so is wider at the top than where it screws on to the tank. The base tapers outwards to the control ring then back inwards towards the very bottom of the tank, looking at the base it is featureless and has a gold plated 510. The air control ring has tri slots with stopper and heavy textured design that matches the top cap. Going back to the top-cap we have "HORIZONTECH" printed one side and "Falcon" (in very old style font) the other. The way the top tapers outwards and the in and out tapering at the bottom gives the Falcon in my opinion a very aesthetically pleasing shape and is also a shape that (again just my opinion) suits the bubble glass. Build quality wise the Falcon is one of the best made tanks i have received, no complaints whatsoever.

It's Various Parts
The tank it'self is pretty much like any other sub-ohm tank when it comes to it's various parts and how it all goes together. It comprises of a Resin wide bore 510 drip tip (a spare delrin drip tip is included), then a top-cap which is just a half turn and it's off but fits very securely and the small amount of threading is top quality. We then have the juice port section with attached air pipe, this has a solid metal service with 2 generous size kidney shaped fill ports. The base unscrews which actually unscrews the top of the coil head from the air pipe, the coil head screws into the base. Looking at the picture of the exploded view it looks like the base separates so the air control ring with tri cyclops slots with stopper can be removed but it seems one solid piece to me and gave up trying to remove the control ring. The glass is secured top and bottom with O-rings (you have the choice of the pre-installed 7ml bubble glass or the included 5ml straight glass) and can be easily removed. The tank goes back together again with ease and i can't emphasise enough how nice all the machining is and tolerances are spot on.

Coil Heads
The Falcon comes pre-installed with the M1 mesh coil which uses a mixture of 70% Organic Cotton and 30% Wood Pulp for it's wicking material. The coils resistance is 0.15ohm with a 0.03 variant and is recommended at between 60w and 80w.
The other coil that is included with the falcon is the F1 Nichrome parallel coil which again uses a mix of 70% Organic Cotton and 30% Wood Pulp for it's wicking material. This coils resistance is 0.2ohm and is recommended between 70w and 90w.
Their are two other coils available both of which are Nichrome parallel coils with a resistance of 0.2ohm. The F2 uses Flax Paper for it's wicking material and is recommended between 70w and 90w. The F3 uses a mix of Flax Fiber and Flax Paper for it's wicking material and is recommended between 60w and 80w.
