Heat distribution is more even. You get fewer hot spots developing on the wick, and flavour stays more consistent through the life of the coil rather than dropping off after the first day or two.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlat out, mesh coils changed how sub-ohm tanks perform.

SMOK calls it a straight bottom-to-top airflow system. Open them all, and you get a very airy, unrestricted lung draw. Close them down and the draw tightens up. The ring turns smoothly enough and stays where you put it, which is not always a given with cheaper tanks where the AFC ring drifts between refills.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePress-Button Locking Top Fill\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA button on the top cap. Press it, rotate the cap, and a kidney-shaped fill port opens up. Most standard bottle nozzles fit without making a mess. Push the cap back, and the button clicks into the locked position. This helps stop the cap from rotating open while the tank is in a pocket or bag. Plenty of tanks still rely on friction alone for this, and it shows.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFive Copper Braces on the Deck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePull the coil out, and you will see five vertical copper braces sitting on the deck. SMOK put them there to make direct contact with the coil base. The idea is more efficient power transfer from the mod to the coil. Whether you notice the difference in day-to-day use is debatable, but they are there, and they are part of the official design.

Coil seated properly, base tightened firmly, O-rings in good shape, not overfilled. That covers most leak issues. If you have changed the glass recently, double-check the seals are sitting flat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat is the difference between the TFV18 and the TFV18 Mini?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe full TFV18 is bigger all round. 31.6mm diameter, 7.5ml capacity in the non-TPD version, coils rated up to 140W. The Mini is 28mm, holds 2ml for UK compliance, and uses its own V18 Mini coil series at lower wattages. Easier to pair with smaller mods.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat e-liquid works best with this tank?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHigh VG. 70\/30 at minimum, 80\/20 if your bottle allows it. Mesh coils and thick juice go together.
