Is the Tobeco Super Tank an upgrade over the Subtank Mini?

I've been using a Subtank Mini as my primary tank for about six months now, and I love the tank, but I'm getting a little bored with it. I've been eyeing some other options, and the Tobeco Super Tank seems like it might be worth trying out, especially for the price.

How does the vape compare between the two? I'd be using the stock premade coils, as I have no patience/skill for an RBA. I recently picked up a Herakles Plus, but leaking issues have relegated it to a home-only tank, and I'm looking for something that can replace the portability of my Subtank.

Is it worth getting a Super Tank, or is it pretty much a lateral move between that and the Subtank?

I definitely prefer nickel coils in the Super over the Subtank.

Yeah, I hear the nickel subtank coils are pretty shit. I'm honestly not that wowed by TC in general, I feel like kanthal just gives a better vape with less hassle.

the tobeco super tank mini also takes atlantis coils.

Yeah, I've heard that too, but mostly from people that don't want to buy temp control mods. In our experience premade kanthal coils have shorter coil life, more dry hits, and are overall inconsistent compared to nickel.

I run nichrome dual parallels in a Velocity on top of an Incubus, so tanks aren't really for me. My girlfriend prefers tanks though and says the Super is an upgrade from the Subtank she had, and having tried both, I agree. Whether you run it with a TC coil or not, I'd take the Super.

I went from using subtank minis, to a crown and tfv4 mini then, to a super tank mini. I haven't touched my crown or tfv4 mini since getting the super tank. I'm using the stock coils and love the flavor. I can vape comfortably at higher watts on the super tank. I tried the atlantis coils but much prefer the stock coils. They do take a tank or two to break in. Haven't had an issue with leaking or any issues at all really. I like it so much i have a second one on the way

I have the super tank and only had it leak 1 time and that due to the coil not being tight enough and cold to warm temperature. Good tank

I have a subtank mini and the one quirk I have with it is that it leaks a bit every time I refill it and tighten the glass. I am wicking correctly as it doesn't flood or anything - I just have to wipe the juice off as a small amount squeezes out . It's a small design flaw, but it bugged me enough so that now I only exclusively use my Zephyrus. Subtank mini still has a good flavor, but the Zephyrus has better airflow, no leakage, and topfill. Of course v2 is better than v1 (I am not a big fan of the red silicone plug).

As of now I'm eyeballing the Super Tank and UWell Crown. I don't think you can go wrong with either for the money. Love how saturated the market is now - great deals for us consumers!

Having owned a Subtank Mini, Triton, TFV4, Crown and a Supertank Mini....the Supertank Mini is the only one I keep going back to. The fact that it takes multiple brands of coils is a nice bonus.

I just got the supertank and have put away my subtank mini. This bad boy is legit. Plus I only paid $20 at my local B&M

Mine is the rba version NOT the tobeco mini tank
