AMP Tank - Nothing compares!
Posted by Eric on 8th Sep 2014
As a veteran vaper since 2008, I started dripping on 510's, 306's, 901's, and 801's - Dripping for me has always been the best vape experience, bar none.
As the years past, I tried carto's, clearo's, RBA's, RDA's, etc. - Nothing compares to the flavor of a genuine atomizer.
I recently decided to go back to atomizers, and purchased this AMP Tank - I have a high regard/respect for Cisco, and his excellent work w/atty's, and atty technology.
Let me say this - I set up the AMP Tank, and primed the 1.5 Ohm BL atty, and started vaping - Mind blown, yet again - Nothing compares to this flavor, folks - Doesn't matter how much money you spend on high-end RBA's/RDA's - Hands down.
This is worth every penny to me, and I want to order at least 2 more in the near future.
FYI - I do not use the assisted auto-feed, I do manual pulls - It's certainly easier driving w/this wonderful unit! I remember the days of dripping and driving...NEVER AGAIN! Haha.
Great job to everyone involved in this highly-innovative & incredible piece of work, know as the AMP Tank.

Watch the video.

Quite a lot of money to drop on a tank. Worth every penny. Watched the video, followed it exactly, was up and vaping in no time. Anybody can use this, setup and use is simple. However, I think that experienced drippers will be the ones getting the best value. There is a certain nuance inherent with dripping directly on an atomizer and over time you develop a feel for it; how much to drip, when your atomizer is too hot, too cold, or running dry. Experience comes in handy for this tank.
I've not had a single issue with this tank yet. No leaks, seems sturdy. Has survived a few days without breaking. The auto feed feature seems a little broken with 70%VG, but the finger over the carb method of manually feeding is way easier than dripping and gives slightly more control than a bottom feeder mod. "finger over the hole, apply a slight vacuum, remove finger, repeat"
Very happy customer here.

Worth the Money...
Posted by Richard Moffett on 12th Jan 2014
There is definitely a learning curve, but its totally worth it. Took me a few days to get the hang of it. I'm a heavy vaper and recently switched from High voltage back to 3.7v with this tank, and it is Awesomesause! It will leak if you flood the atty, but then again anything leaks if you flood it... This device is just as easy to use as a carto tank IMO. This could be the last Tank I ever buy.

It's "OK" for new comers too
Posted by RC23 on 31st Oct 2013
Started vaping with mechanical mods...struggled for little. while getting used to RBAs for weeks, I had to get a protank. as soon as RBAs are dialed in, protank wasn't giving me the vape and the taste that i wanted. I've been through IGO-W, RSST, AIOS T and D, Omega, Protank II. Now I wanted to try dripping atomizer and just WOW...
AMP Tanks looks great and the manual feed is easy, no leaking, draw is PERFECT. I'ts easy.
If you are coming from 'easy' tanks and looking for upgrade, don't look elsewhere, this will save you hundreds of dollars at the end for your vaping journey.
atomizer is way much easier than the RBAs, i am not saying RBA is hard or bad but for flavor wise, you just can't beat the dripping atomizers. unless you are cloud maker for competition, cisco bl and HH357 will tie you down for while.
If this tank caught your eyes because of its design, just get it and taste your same juice. you will know what you were missing.
break-in/prime stage manual says wet the coil for 30 seconds but i would say 1 min+. it really depends on your juice type but look in to atomizer and make sure your juice is not visible on the side (until it gets sucked in). little gurgle will make perfect sense to you. Start with dropping when you are building the tank.
for refilling it is par or better than filling protanks.
I don't understand why a lot of people say AMP TANK is not for new comers or non-drip vapers, don't scare them away, let them taste the true flavors with good style.
another tip to feed carto.
from fully locked position, I turn 1/4 counter clock turn and lock it. And another 1/4 counter turn and lock it again. this method worked perfect for me.
I vape cisco bl 1.5 carto at 3.7~3.9v. over 4ish volts has too warmer muted taste.
enjoy.

Great product but one must be patient with the learning curve.
Posted by Reggie on 29th Apr 2013
The AMP tank offers a great dripping experience without the hassle of actually dripping. The build quality is very solid.
However, the learning curve is very steep. This is not a device for inexperienced drippers. The user must understand the atomizer being used, such as when it dry or when it has too much juice to utilize the AMP tank correctly. After that, it is a great experience.
If you love dripping and want to eliminate a lot of the hassle of doing so, this is a great product. However, experience with dripping is paramount to use the AMP tank effectively.
Helpful tips:
Drip with the atomizer that you intend to use on the AMP tank to understand its behavior. For me it is all in the degree of gurgle you hear in the atomizer when you draw. Know when the gurgle means it is perfect, when it is going to be dry and when it is flooded.
Only turn the atomizer until some bubbles escape from the connection. That is all you need and it is very slight. That maintains the assisted feed very well.
When it the atomizer begins to get dry, either a few unpowered pulls or a gentle carb pull is needed until there is a very slight gurgle or you get the sound you want. You are ready to vape on!
I hope these tips are helpful!

Great product with a few butts
Posted by Unknown on 18th Apr 2013
So. I got this tank after checking out a friends' tank. Not much else to say but its a great tank. Seeing as how there isnt another device (that I know of anyway) , its hard to compare it to anything else. I used it with my 357 mainly. The atomizer I got with it, well just kinda sucks. A good saturated fill on it and it still leaves a funky taste with the juice. I did change the juice a couple times to see if there was a change but nope but with the 357 its perfect.
The design of this device is pretty epic. will fit on most of the devices out there. Fantastic air flow. However here are MY downsides.
1. Leaks from around the glass tank seals - I dunno why it does this. But it just does. Its not a horrid leak by any means but a leak is a leak. Maybe some bigger seals is in order.
2. The "auto-draw" feature is hit or miss with me. Maybe I don't have it just right. ( Screw it on tight then back it off like 1/4 turn.) While its not a huge deal to cover the air hole and take a quick draw to draw the juice into the atomizer, I'd like it to work 99% of the time ^^ (Small pet peeve)
That's it! Other than those little bits, its a fantastic device. However for $135? I would prolly say no. I could buy a few 357's for that and just drip. It's not that difficult!

It's just awesome!
Posted by Francois on 5th Apr 2013
I use a 40/60 PG/VG mixture and a week into using it have to say the auto-feeding isn't really what I thought it should be. That being said, I love the tank. If you're a dripper this tank is a must. It's not a set it and forget it kind of thing, but to get juice to the attie i just that easy. It doesn't leak people. Not like you would expect something to leak anyway. If you flood it and leave juice in the attie without using the thing grafity does take it's toll and pull juice into the carb hole, but it's literally a drop. Screw the attie down and vape up most of the juice in it before you set it down and you're fine.
You get the hang soon enough. All in all it's what I've always wanted and probably the last thing I'll ever use. I love this tank. It's beautiful and works with not much fuss.
5 stars would mean it's perfect. That, it's not, but it's damn near as perfect as it can be. The price is top dollar, and I am happily paying that again for another one. Great work boys!

It's great
Posted by Scott on 29th Mar 2013
This is what I've been waiting for. An auto-feed tank for standard atties. It works great. But you must follow the instructions in the video and if you are failing, it is because you are doing something wrong. It is fiddly, but it is an advanced user product. It has a learning curve, short but sweet if you have experience vaping, attention to detail, and intuitiveness. It shouldn't leak. You should start with it closed and open only a millimeter at a time until it starts feeding (you'll see a bubble or two come up when you pull when it is feeding. It depends on your draw speed and you liquid viscosity as to how far to open it. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO OPEN IT MORE THAN 1/4 TURN, 1/2 FULL TURN AT MOST (90 TO 180 DEGREES ROTATION). If you go more, that is where 99% of the problems occur. Once you find the setting, even a millimeter turn one way or the other will cause it to feed to much or stop feeding so start slow and work your way up. Don't carb unless you absolutely have to and then vape until the liquid in your atty is used up or else you'll get leaking. It is worth the money if you use it properly. I love it and bought 3. Don't blame Cisco and Hanna for your own failure. They worked very hard to perfect this product and did a fantastic job.

Almost but not quite
Posted by Justin on 29th Mar 2013
Does it auto-feed? Sure when it wants to.
Does it leak out of the carb hole? Yep..and its pretty much unavoidable. You must manual feed when the tank decides not to auto feed and there is a very fine line between perfection and absolute flooding.
Does the performance outweigh the quirks? Not for $135. There is a lot of room for improvement and while the AMP tank isn't a total failure, it's flaws certainly make me regret purchasing it.

Tastes great and less filling..
Posted by Luv2Vap on 24th Mar 2013
The flavor I am getting from this tank with an HH357 is amazing. A bit of fiddle and a few leaks here and there is a small price to pay in my opinion. It usually works fine for me more than 95% of the time hassle free. It would be nice to have another to change up flavors. Well done Avid!

love it BUT!
Posted by Herbie on 23rd Mar 2013
I love the taste! hate the fiddle! When it is working rightish I get the best of both worlds tank and adddy. When it leak (carb hole) you get messy fingers. I would rate this as a great start!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice tank!
Posted by Barry (Obstinatus) on 20th Mar 2013
Great product! Solid construction and design. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because of the occasional leak (only after I flood it) and the fact that in auto feed mode the tank is a little wobbly.
-
So much better then anything else!
Posted by Unknown on 17th Mar 2013
being an old UFS user i had high expectations for the AMP tank, when i got it it far exceeds those expectations!
so easy to use and the dripping flavor is something else!
only slight problem i saw was when you expose the atomizer holes the tank wobbles a bit
no big deal really just nit picking
i am on the march to try and get another one!

No sir it's not

Has some flaws. Works when it works. Not for someone looking to replace their carto tank.

Finally found my goto device
Posted by Skyway on 11th Mar 2013
I have used and own quite a few devices. This is by far my best performing device with no headaches and ease of use.
In a new world of rebuildable atty's and carto tanks, this breathes new life into the old standard of an atty.
It is very simple to use and refill. I am using the atty it came with, which is a Cisco spec Bridgeless 2.5 510 atty and it just keeps surprising me tremendously.
I have been using it and nothing else for 5 days and so far I cannont see needing anything else. Perfect draw, no worries about having it leak if I set it on its side and amount of juice keeps it going for half a days worth of vaping. Using the 5ml glass would make it last even longer.
There has only been one case of any leakage and that was because I was testing some things and unscrewed the atty just a tad to much, even then it was only a small drop out of the carburator and once tightened back down, nothing else came out and I went about my merry way.
There is a slight loosness to the top section if you have it "opened up" but if you slide the top down the atty away from the drip tip, it will make up for this, plus it kind of has to be designed this way anyway. If they made the tank any tighter, you would not be able to alter the feeding properties.
I would go so far as to say it could be a device even for someone new to vaping it is so easy to work with.

A++
Posted by LK Riley on 10th Mar 2013
Great product. Simple to use, no tools necessary, easy for beginners. Used it all weekend, no leaking whatsoever, and worked with any of my 510 attys. I'm an avid fan of the hh 357, and had high hopes for this product. No disappointment, met and exceeded my expectations. Now I can use both together for fantastic performance. Well done ^^

Game Changer!

I can say without a doubt this IS everything I wished the GG AVS was and more!
Absolutely amazing. Bravo, Avid Vaper.

I think it is well designed and delivers the best of both worlds tanks and atty's very well. I applaud you sir WELL DONE!!!

Awesome
Posted by Eric on 7th Mar 2013
It's literally everything I kept wishing a carto tank was; easy to fill, easy to prime, easy to cure any dry hits and it delivers a truckload of vapor.
Oh and since I literally can't master carto punching...it's perfect. Sexy on a Provari too.
