Wise men say? Owl take that
Advken have been on the top of my list for tanks for a while with the Mesh Manta and the RTA Manta and both are my go to choice for tanks and I must say they are great. Now having this as a decent top airflow was pretty much exceptional and claims there is no leakage at all. I’m impressed to see how this is going to be…

Out the Box
The Owl comes in 8 different colour options for the 25mm overall tank. The colour options are Black, Blue, Green, Purple, Copper/Bronze (Coffee), Rainbow, Gold and Stainless Steel, with the nipple top delrin tip. The price is $30USD, which is about £23GBP. A really good price with all the included kit and the build of this beauty.
The tank has a 3ml bubble glass and then a TPD 2ml glass which is the usual flat glass... There are loads of spare O-Rings and a spare coil which is the preferred 0.16ohm. I used the 0.2ohm coil in the Manta Mesh and I didn’t find it being great so I swung on by for this one, included within the Doctor Coil bags.
Along with the warranty card and all the other instructions to cover. Not a lot in this packet this time as it a sample test piece but I’m pretty sure there will be either a rubber spacer for the TPD when it goes on general sale.
Dimensions;
WxDxH - 25x30x45mm

The Build
The build quality Advken have on point and theses are sure to be amazing but the coils need to be checked over and redesigned…maybe. They seem to be bringing tanks out all the time. This top airflow system is great with the top filling hole also. Now I’m a big believer in that top is best and they have certainly got this right. But it’s so bulky why, simple It needed to be with the design feature. The top filling annoyed me every time…it’s too small of a tank and literally you use so much liquid in this tank… anyway the filling is so slow meaning you have to tilt the tank slightly to get the best filling options.
So, I’ve tried the tank in numerous stages see below;
30w – a nice starting vape here and it did work but took some time to come through with flavour, once primed it started to bring flavour
40w – OMG the flavour was amazing and it worked a treat the cloud was decent and there was a nice hit on the throat I would have like it maybe to go up a few more wattages just to give a more warmer vape experience.
50w - nice clean flavour very noticeable on the first draw, second pull beautiful…and then it started to change flavours become lessened…no chain vaping here…
60w - too hot for the coils it doesn’t draw the liquid up quick enough something needs to be looked at here I’m sure…
When priming the cotton it took about 10-15 minutes before the flavour was correct to the bottle name, however, you might say what is correct. Something which I have found on previous Mesh coils is that it don’t take too long to start vaping however, this one slightly did maybe because it was so compact, but it still works nice. Avoid chain vaping like the plague it will only hammer your coils.
The airflow is really is great and I’m really happy with the how it mixes well with the flavour. The airflow when fully open is far too much, I would advise to have it slightly closed. Now as I’ve previously said it’s a good top airflow function and the way there is no leaks is bang on.

- Slide action top fill
- Great airflow
- Easy coil replacement
- Love the design
Cons
- Small liquid capacity tank, but a big tank
- Small filling kidney
- You have to slow fill due to airlock
- Very heavy
Conclude
No let’s hear this one out now…I love Advken tanks. My favourite RTA to date is the Manta, never missed a beat and it’s still hit hard…beats anything hands down RTA wise…but this is about their sub ohming tanks and they are good and I do like them a lot but the coils are not the best.
Now would I buy it? Yes I would but only because its build quality is overall flavour and the way it clouds. Now I’m a big believer In the Squonker and RDA but who knows… Don’t get me wrong it’s a good set up and the performance of the lower wattage and yes it would keep the batteries lasting an age. Now I’m not one for making assumptions but this will be the start of something…maybe the new one could be called the Bat tank…
