Just this last Sunday, I headed out to my local Yeti shop and declared to them proudly "I WANT A NEW SUB OHM TANK" (not really, I'm quite shy.)
Anyways, after a few days of considering my choices, which were going to be either the SMOK TFV4, because that thing is just insane in it's own right, an Arctic tank because I've heard so many good things about them, or the Herakles, which was the most visually appealing to me at least.
After many debates, I went with the Sense Herakles Plus.
Oh boy.
Quite a step up from my previous Sub- Ohm, which was the Subtank Nano. Obviously, it was much bigger, and quite striking. It comes in your typical plastic case with a nice black sleeve covering it, the Sense Lion and "HERAKLES SUB OHM TANK" written on the front of it. I'm getting a good vibe from it so far.
Noted to say I personally own the black version, but I believe it also comes in a stainless steel variant, and a few other colors as well.
Eager to fill and slap this baby on, I ran into one problem. I could not, for the life of me, open up the top piece so I could fill the sucker. After a few minutes of struggling, I, much to my dismay, asked for help. He told me a few tips about this specific tank which I wouldn't have seen until it was too late, such as the juice chamber shut- off mechanism, which you're supposed to slide to the left to fill, and slide to the right to let the juice in once you are done filling. He got the top of it off for me. "It'll break in once you use it," he told me. And of course over the course of about a day, everything was fine.
Now on to the review. This tank has been heralded as one of the best sub ohm tanks money can buy today, for good reason. The top airflow ACTUALLY DOES SOMETHING, there is great flavor and great vapor production from just about any wattage you throw this sucker to. I personally vape it at 50-55w on my MVP 3 Pro, and that's all I need. The mouthpiece (drip tip, I know it's called but it's still just a f***** mouthpiece) is a nice and wide one, which for me, adds sort of a placebo fake airflow feeling. It's a decent size and it seems to be pretty durable.
It's made out a nice metal with a glass tank piece, O rings and gromits to make everything snug, and there are PLENTY of airflow holes on this thing. 8 to be exact, 4 on the bottom, and 4 on the top. The COOL AS HELL thing about this tank is the top airflow mechanism, which is anything but gimmicky, considering it actually does something. You'll notice if you take it all apart there is actually a 2nd, slightly wider chamber around your main one which goes directly from your atomizer to the top of the device. This 2nd chamber is actually used for the 2nd airflow and receives air from the sides of the wick and travels up to meet with the rest of the vapor. Pretty ingenious.
So vapor production is great, flavor is awesome, tank looks freaking cool, what are the cons?
Well...
This tank, at least for me, leaks like a broken water main if not filled ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS. You have to make sure your chamber is closed before you fill it, or it's Niagara falls all over your hand, mod, etc. And even when you fill it, it's given me gurgly hits, mainly due to this stupid plastic piece they decided to slap on to the point where you fill it, restricting it to two slots you put your juice through rather than having it all open. If you get any juice onto that part, the upper airflow will suck it up and you'll get a mouthful of Rocket Pop flavoring like I did.
I also had bad leaking problems around the bottom, to the point of my complete surprise when I took the tank entirely off to find a puddle of juice almost seeping right into my connector.
Those cons don't detract it from being a great tank. If you're careful, you shouldn't have any problems.
Just be careful with it and you have got a great new offer from Sense, for a decent price (35.99 at my local shop.)
I'd recommend it.
