Voopoo Maat Tank New: What It Is and Who Makes It

The Voopoo Maat Tank New is a refillable sub-ohm style tank built around Voopoo's PnP coil platform. It is a hardware accessory rather than a complete vape, which means there is no battery inside it and it does not arrive filled with e-liquid. You screw it onto a compatible 510-thread mod or pod-mod device, fill it with the nicotine e-liquid or shortfill of your choice, and vape. If you already own a Voopoo device, or any 510 device that can output enough power to drive a mesh coil, a tank like this is the part that decides how your vape actually tastes and feels.

Voopoo is a Shenzhen-based manufacturer that has been making vaping hardware for several years. The brand is best known for the Drag range of mods and for the PnP coil system, a plug-and-play coil design that has been reused across a long list of tanks and pods. The Maat Tank sits inside that ecosystem. Because it shares the same coil family as other Voopoo products, replacement coils are easy to find in UK shops, and if you already stock PnP coils for another Voopoo tank or pod, there is a good chance some of them will fit here too. Always confirm the exact coil code against the box or the specification on this page before you buy a spare pack.

The word 'New' in the product name points to the revised release of the Maat Tank. This listing is a family of four variants, which for an accessory like this normally means different finishes or colourways of the same tank rather than different performance. Pick the variant that suits your mod, since a tank in a finish that matches your device looks tidier than one that clashes, and the internals are the same across the family.

There is a wider UK context worth understanding too. Since 1 June 2025, single-use disposable vapes can no longer legally be sold in the UK, so refillable hardware has become the main route for anyone who wants to keep vaping at a sensible cost. A tank like the Maat sits at the flexible end of that spectrum: you control the e-liquid, the nicotine strength, the airflow and the coil, and you can swap parts when something wears out instead of binning the whole device. The trade-off is a little more routine, such as filling, priming and coil changes, which this guide walks through step by step.

• What you get: the tank, a coil (check the contents list on the box), spare seals and the usual small parts.
• What you need: a compatible 510 device, e-liquid, and a charger for your device.
• Age: vaping products are for adults only, so you must be 18 or over to buy.

Specifications at a Glance

Before getting into how the tank performs, here is a plain summary of what the Voopoo Maat Tank New is and what the numbers mean for everyday use. Specifications can vary slightly between regional editions and between the four variants in this family, so treat the points below as a guide and check the product title, the variant selector and the printed box for the exact details of the unit you are ordering.

• Type: refillable sub-ohm style tank, accessory only, sold without a battery.
• Connection: standard 510 thread, which fits the large majority of mods and pod-mod devices on the UK market.
• Diameter: in the mid-20mm range, which sits neatly on most mid-sized mods without overhanging badly.
• E-liquid capacity: UK-sold tanks are limited to 2ml by law. Larger glass or bubble-glass capacities exist on tanks sold in other markets, so do not expect more than 2ml from a unit supplied for UK retail.
• Coil system: Voopoo PnP series coils, a drop-in plug-and-play design in mesh and conventional wire versions depending on the code you choose.
• Filling: top-fill design in the usual style, so you do not need to unscrew the tank from your device to refill it.
• Airflow: adjustable, so the same tank can be set tight for a restricted draw or open for a looser, more cloud-oriented pull.
• Typical power range: mesh sub-ohm coils of this kind usually run at roughly 40W to 80W, but the exact range is printed on each coil and that printed range is the one to follow.
• Materials: a metal body with a glass or high-grade polymer tube, depending on the variant, and silicone seals.

Two numbers deserve a bit more explanation. First, the 2ml capacity. It looks small next to the larger tanks sold abroad, but 2ml of e-liquid is far from a trivial amount, and the UK cap exists because it limits the amount of nicotine-containing liquid in one container. In practice most users top up once or twice a day depending on power and coil, and the quick top-fill makes that a ten-second job. Second, the coil resistance. Lower-resistance coils (towards 0.15 ohm) draw more power, make bigger vapour and use e-liquid faster, while higher-resistance coils (0.3 ohm and above) are better for flavour at moderate power and are kinder to your bottle. Which one is right for you depends on how you like to vape, which the sections below cover.

Performance and Vapour Delivery

The point of a sub-ohm tank is to give a warm, dense, easy draw with a large cloud, as opposed to the tight, cooler draw of a mouth-to-lung pod system. The Maat Tank is designed around that idea. With a mesh coil, vapour production tends to be steady from the first second of the draw because the large mesh surface heats evenly, and there is little of the hot spot effect that older round-wire coils could suffer from. You press the button, you inhale, and the vapour arrives in a smooth, consistent stream rather than a sputtering one.

How much vapour you get depends on three things you control. The first is power. Within the printed range on the coil, going up in wattage raises both the temperature and the volume of vapour. Start at the lower end of the range, take a few draws, and move up in small steps of two or three watts until the flavour and warmth feel right. Pushing to the very top of the range is rarely the best choice, because the coil burns through e-liquid faster and the flavour starts to turn sharp or toasty. The second is airflow. Closing the airflow ring down gives a denser, warmer, more concentrated draw, which many vapers moving from a pod device prefer. Opening it up gives a cooler, airier, bigger pull. The third is the e-liquid itself, specifically its VG and PG split, which affects thickness and throat feel.

For wicking, a mesh coil wicks well with high-VG liquids, and most 70VG/30PG shortfills will work happily. Very thick liquids, such as those with a VG ratio above 80 percent, can struggle on low-power settings, which shows up as a slightly dry or hot draw. If you notice that, move the wattage up a touch or switch to a 50/50 or 70/30 liquid.

In terms of day-to-day use, you can expect a mesh coil to give consistent performance for around one to two weeks of normal use. That range is wide on purpose. Coil life depends heavily on how sweet your e-liquid is, how often you chain vape, and the power you run. Sweet, dessert-style liquids leave residue on the mesh and shorten life, while fruit and menthol profiles are generally gentler. A coil that tastes muted or burnt after a proper prime is telling you it is time for a fresh one.

• Draw style: direct to lung, with airflow that can be tightened for a more restricted pull.
• Vapour: medium to large, scaling with wattage and coil choice.
• Throat feel: smooth at lower nicotine strengths, noticeably firmer with higher strengths and with PG-heavy liquids.

Flavour Profile

A tank has no flavour of its own, so when people talk about flavour on a tank like the Maat, they mean how faithfully and how fully it reproduces whatever e-liquid you fill it with. This is where mesh coils earn their place. Because the mesh has a large surface area and heats evenly, it vaporises the e-liquid without scorching part of it, and that tends to produce a rounder, more complete flavour than a thin round wire coil can manage at the same wattage.

The character of the flavour shifts with the settings you choose. At lower wattages and with tighter airflow, the vapour is warmer and more concentrated, which suits rich flavours such as custards, desserts, tobacco blends and sweet candy profiles. At higher wattages with open airflow, the vapour is cooler and airier, which suits crisp fruit, menthol and ice profiles, where a cool, fresh hit is part of the appeal. If you find a flavour tastes flat, the first thing to try is dropping the airflow a notch, since less incoming air means less dilution of the vapour. If it tastes harsh or too hot, lower the wattage a few watts.

It also helps to match the liquid to the coil. A lower-resistance mesh coil at a higher wattage is intended for big clouds, and it works best with 70VG liquids at lower nicotine strengths. A higher-resistance coil at moderate wattage is the better choice if flavour is your priority. A frequent mistake is using a high-nicotine liquid with a low-resistance coil. The combination feels harsh on the throat because the coil is producing a lot of vapour carrying a lot of nicotine per puff.

One practical thing to remember when you change flavours is ghosting. A coil that has been used with one strong flavour, such as menthol or a rich dessert, will hold traces of it for a while, and a new liquid filled into the same coil will taste of both for the first few tanks. If you swap flavours often, the cleanest route is to run a different coil for each flavour family, or at minimum to flush the tank with warm water and let it dry fully when you change coil. If you stick to a single flavour family, the coil will keep tasting consistent until it wears out.

• Best suited to: fruit, ice, menthol, dessert and tobacco-style liquids at 3mg to 6mg strengths or nic salts at 10mg to 20mg depending on the coil.
• Less suited to: very thick, syrupy liquids at the lowest wattages, and any liquid with heavy sweeteners if you want long coil life.

Design and Build Quality

The Maat Tank follows a familiar and practical design for this class of tank: a cylindrical body with a threaded base, a top cap that slides or twists open for filling, an airflow ring around the base, and a drip-tip style mouthpiece on top. Voopoo has a reputation for neat industrial design, and the Maat keeps the lines clean rather than covered in decoration, which helps it sit comfortably on a wide range of mods without looking out of place. The four variants in this family are mostly finish choices, so you can pick one that suits your device.

The body is metal, which gives it good heft and durability for something that is going to live in a pocket or bag. The viewing window shows the e-liquid level so you can see when it is time to top up, which matters more than it sounds. Running a mesh coil on a low or empty tank is one of the quickest ways to burn it, and a clear window lets you catch the problem early. Silicone seals around the glass and the coil base keep leaks under control as long as they are seated properly and not nipped when you reassemble the tank.

The top-fill design is one of the more useful features day to day. You slide or twist the top cap, drop the liquid into the fill port, and close it again, without having to unscrew the tank from your mod and risk spilling. For a UK-sized 2ml tank this is particularly convenient, because you will be topping up more often than someone using a larger tank, and an easy refill makes the smaller capacity feel less of an inconvenience. Take care not to overfill past the maximum line and not to pour into the central airflow tube, as e-liquid in the chimney is the usual cause of gurgling and spitting on the first few draws.

The airflow ring has a sensible range. It turns smoothly enough to adjust with a thumb but is stiff enough that it does not drift in a pocket. The drip tip is a standard size for this class of tank and is comfortable for long sessions, although some people swap it for a slightly wider or narrower aftermarket tip to suit their draw preference. Overall, the build is what you would expect from a mainstream brand at this price point: sturdy, sensibly finished and straightforward to maintain.

• Body: metal, with a glass or polymer viewing section depending on the variant.
• Fill: top-fill, no need to remove the tank.
• Seals: silicone, worth inspecting each time you change the coil.
• Airflow: adjustable ring around the base.

Power, Battery and Charging Considerations

Because the Maat Tank is an accessory, it has no battery of its own, and so the usual questions about mAh and charging time relate to the device you pair it with. That does not make the topic unimportant. A tank is only as good as the power source underneath it, and choosing the wrong pairing is one of the most common reasons new users end up disappointed with a perfectly good tank.

Mesh sub-ohm coils need a device that can deliver enough steady power. Look for a mod or pod-mod with an adjustable output that reaches at least 60W, and ideally somewhat higher, so you can sit comfortably in the middle of the coil's range rather than running flat out. A device with a fixed low output, such as a small pod system tuned for 15W or 20W, will not drive a sub-ohm mesh coil properly. The result is a weak, lukewarm draw and flat flavour, and it is not the tank's fault. Voopoo's own Drag range is the natural partner for this tank, but any quality 510 device with variable wattage will do the job.

Battery size matters because mesh coils draw more current than the small coils in pod systems. A mod with a single 18650 or 21700 cell, or an integrated battery of around 3,000mAh or more, is a sensible target. At a typical 50W to 60W setting, a 3,000mAh integrated battery will usually last a moderate user most of a day, while a heavy user may want a spare cell or a top-up charge during the day. Smaller batteries around 1,000mAh to 1,500mAh will drain in a few hours at those wattages, which is another reason to avoid pairing a high-power tank with a very compact device.

For charging, use the cable that came with your device, plugged into a decent plug-in USB adapter or a computer port. Avoid cheap unbranded chargers, which can deliver unstable voltage and shorten battery life. Never leave a lithium battery charging unattended overnight, and do not charge on a bed or sofa where heat cannot escape. If your device uses removable cells, use a proper external charger and only cells from a reputable supplier that match the device's current requirements.

• Minimum sensible pairing: adjustable output up to at least 60W.
• Battery size: around 3,000mAh integrated or a single high-drain 18650 or 21700 cell.
• Safe charging: original cable, supervised, away from soft furnishings.

Coil and Mesh Technology Explained

The coil is the working heart of any tank, and the Maat Tank uses Voopoo's PnP series, a plug-and-play coil format that pushes into the base of the tank without any threads to screw. The design makes changing a coil quick and mess-light, and it is one of the reasons the PnP platform has been adopted so widely across the Voopoo range.

In the simplest terms, a coil is a heating element wrapped around or built into a wicking material, usually cotton. When you press the fire button, electricity heats the element, the wick feeds e-liquid to it, and the liquid turns into vapour. A conventional coil uses a round or flat wire wrapped around a cotton core. A mesh coil replaces that with a flat sheet of fine metal mesh, rolled into a cylinder and lined with cotton. The mesh has far more contact area with the wick, which means more of the e-liquid is warmed evenly at once. The benefits are quicker ramp-up, steadier vapour, richer flavour, and less tendency to dry-hit.

PnP coils come in a range of resistances. The lower-resistance options in the 0.15 ohm to 0.2 ohm region are built for higher power and large vapour production, and they use more e-liquid. The mid-range options around 0.3 ohm are the practical all-rounder for most people, giving good flavour at moderate power with acceptable e-liquid consumption. Higher-resistance coils above 0.5 ohm sit closer to the restricted-lung style and suit lower-wattage devices. The exact codes on offer vary, so check the coil list on the product page and the printed range on the coil itself.

Priming is the single most important habit for coil life. A new coil comes dry, and if you fire it before the cotton has soaked up liquid it will burn on the very first draw and be ruined. After inserting the coil, put a few drops of e-liquid directly into the cotton through the side holes, fill the tank, and then wait at least five to ten minutes before vaping. Some people also take a few unpowered draws, without pressing the button, to pull liquid through. Starting at the low end of the wattage range, then stepping up, finishes the job.

Look after the coil and it will look after you. Signs that a coil is coming to the end of its life include a muted or slightly burnt taste, a darkened colour on the visible part of the cotton, gurgling that does not clear with a prime, and a draw that feels weaker than before. Replacing at that point is cheaper than persisting with poor flavour and a potential dry hit.

• Coil format: PnP plug-and-play, no threads, push-fit.
• Resistance guide: lower for clouds, middle for balance, higher for lower-power devices.
• Priming time: 5 to 10 minutes minimum.

Choosing E-Liquid and Nicotine Strength

A sub-ohm tank produces much more vapour per puff than a pod system, and so the nicotine strength you choose has to be thought about differently. The golden rule is that more vapour means more nicotine delivered per draw, so you need a lower strength in the bottle than you would use in a restricted-lung device.

In the UK, nicotine e-liquid is limited to a maximum of 20mg per ml, and bottles of nicotine-containing liquid are capped at 10ml. That 20mg cap applies across the board, including to the disposable vapes that were on sale until the ban in June 2025. A 20mg nic salt is the highest strength on the market, and it is designed for small, low-power pod devices with a tight draw. It is not intended for use in a high-power sub-ohm tank, where it would feel overwhelmingly strong. For this tank the usual starting points are as follows.

• Freebase shortfill with added nic shots (3mg): the classic choice for sub-ohm vaping. A 50ml shortfill topped up with one 10ml 18mg nicotine shot makes roughly 3mg per ml, suitable for most former smokers who are moving to a tank at moderate power.
• Freebase 6mg: for heavier smokers or those who find 3mg does not satisfy, particularly at lower wattages with tighter airflow.
• Freebase 0mg: for people who have stepped down completely or who vape purely for the flavour and the habit.
• Nic salts 10mg: workable with higher-resistance coils at moderate power, but a lower strength is usually more comfortable with low-resistance mesh coils.
• Nic salts 20mg: generally unsuitable for this tank, because of the vapour volume.

On the VG and PG split, 70VG/30PG is a sound all-round pick for mesh coils, giving good vapour and decent flavour. A 50/50 blend gives a stronger throat hit and wicks more easily, and it is useful if you are running at lower wattage. Anything above 80VG tends to wick slowly and suits only the highest-power settings. Always avoid liquids marketed for other purposes, such as those without clear labelling or with unknown ingredients, and buy from retailers that show full ingredient information on the bottle.

If you are unsure, begin lower than you think you need. It is easy to step up the nicotine strength after a few days, but a too-strong first experience can put people off altogether. Over time, many users find they naturally step down as their cravings reduce, which is a perfectly good outcome.

Who the Voopoo Maat Tank New Suits

No single tank is right for every vaper, so it is worth being clear about who gets the most out of this one and who may be better served by something else.

It suits existing Voopoo owners. If you already have a Voopoo mod and you use PnP coils in other devices, this tank fits into a system you already understand. You can buy coils in familiar formats, and the tank's size and look will match your device.

It suits vapers moving up from a pod. If you have been using a small pod kit and want more vapour and a warmer, more satisfying draw, a sub-ohm tank is the usual next step. The Maat Tank is simple enough to learn quickly, with a top-fill and a push-in coil, and it does not demand any building skills.

It suits people who want control without complexity. You choose the e-liquid, the nicotine strength, the coil and the airflow, but the platform is plug and play. There is no wire to wrap and no cotton to cut. If you want a vape you can tune without learning to build coils, this fits.

It suits people looking for a cost-effective route. Refillable vaping is generally cheaper than repeatedly buying disposables, and since disposable vapes can no longer be sold in the UK, that is the direction most UK vapers have gone. Coils are a regular cost, but e-liquid is far cheaper per millilitre than the liquid in a pre-filled device.

It may not suit you if:

• You want the smallest, simplest vape possible. A pod kit with pre-filled or refillable pods is more pocket-friendly and has less to maintain.
• You vape with a low-power device that cannot reach around 40W to 60W. The coil will not perform properly.
• You want a tight, cigarette-like mouth-to-lung draw with a high-strength nic salt. A pod system built for that is a better match.
• You are not a current smoker or vaper. Vaping products are for adults who already use nicotine and want an alternative, and they are not recommended for non-smokers or for anyone under 18.

It is also worth remembering that if you are using vaping to quit smoking, NHS stop smoking services in the UK can offer free support and advice alongside a vape. Combining an alternative product with proper support improves the chances of stopping for good.

How to Fill, Prime and Use the Tank

Getting started is straightforward, and doing the setup properly the first time prevents the majority of leaks and burnt coils. Follow these steps whenever you fit a new coil.

• Step 1, unpack and inspect. Check the tank for visible damage and make sure the seals are in place. Rinse the metal and glass parts with warm water and let them dry fully, which clears any factory residue.
• Step 2, fit the coil. Push the PnP coil firmly into the base until it seats. It should sit flush with no gap, and a loose coil is a common cause of leaks.
• Step 3, prime the coil. Add a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the exposed cotton through the side holes, until it looks saturated.
• Step 4, fill the tank. Slide or twist open the top cap, tilt the tank slightly, and fill with e-liquid, keeping the liquid away from the central airflow tube. Stop below the maximum line and close the cap.
• Step 5, wait. Leave the tank upright for five to ten minutes so the cotton can fully soak.
• Step 6, screw it on. Attach the tank to your device and set the airflow to roughly halfway.
• Step 7, start low. Set the device to the lower end of the coil's printed wattage range, take a couple of gentle draws, then raise the power in small steps until the flavour feels right.

For everyday use, keep the tank more than a quarter full so the coil always has liquid to draw from. Top up before it gets low rather than waiting for the last drop. Pause between long draws to give the wick time to refill, because chain vaping hard can outpace the wick and cause a dry hit.

For maintenance, wipe the 510 connection and the base with a dry cloth every few days, since residue there can interrupt the electrical contact. Every couple of weeks, or when changing flavours, strip the tank down, rinse the parts in warm water, dry them completely and reassemble with a fresh coil. Store the tank upright where possible, and keep devices away from heat, direct sun and pockets with loose change or keys.

If you travel by air, empty the tank before you fly. Changes in cabin pressure can force e-liquid out of any refillable tank, and an empty tank in a sealed bag is the safest way to carry one.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

Most problems with a tank like this are small and easy to fix. Here are the issues vapers meet most often, along with what usually causes them.

• Leaking from the base or airflow. The usual causes are overfilling, a coil that is not fully seated, a damaged or pinched silicone seal, or a tank that has been left on its side. Check the seals, push the coil in firmly, fill to below the maximum line and store the tank upright.
• Gurgling or spitting. This is almost always e-liquid in the central chimney or condensation in the airflow. Blow gently through the drip tip with the tank off the device to clear it, wipe away any excess and avoid pouring liquid into the middle.
• Dry or burnt taste. This points to an unprimed coil, a tank running low, a wattage set too high, or a coil near the end of its life. Check the level, drop the wattage and re-prime. If the taste persists, fit a new coil.
• Weak vapour or flat flavour. The coil may be worn, the device may be low on battery, the wattage may be too low for the coil, or the airflow may be too open. Try tightening the airflow, increasing power slightly and checking the battery.
• Device shows an error such as short circuit or no atomiser. Wipe the 510 connector on both the tank and the device, check that the tank is screwed on fully, and make sure the coil is seated properly.
• Coil lasts only a few days. Very sweet e-liquids, high wattage and chain vaping all shorten coil life. Try a less sweet liquid, lower the wattage and give the coil a rest between draws.
• Liquid drains too quickly. A lower-resistance coil at high power uses a lot of e-liquid. Moving to a higher-resistance coil or reducing power can make a bottle last noticeably longer.
• Hot vapour. Lower the wattage and open the airflow slightly.

If a fault persists after you have tried the checks above, stop using the tank and contact the retailer. Do not attempt to repair the electronics of the device yourself, and if you ever see a battery swelling, getting unusually hot or smelling odd, stop using it immediately and keep it away from anything flammable.

When parts are finally worn out, dispose of them responsibly. Used coils, tanks and vape devices should not go in household bin bags. In the UK, retailers that sell vaping products are required to take back old devices, and local council recycling centres accept small electricals. Make sure any device containing a battery goes to a proper drop-off point, where it can be recycled safely rather than ending up in landfill.

Value for Money, Honest Comparisons and UK Rules

Judging value on a tank means looking at the upfront price, the running cost of coils and e-liquid, and how long the hardware keeps working. The Maat Tank is a mid-market accessory from a mainstream brand, and its main selling point on value is the PnP coil ecosystem. Those coils are widely stocked in UK shops, so you are unlikely to be stuck waiting for a replacement, and the competition between sellers tends to keep prices fair. Running costs depend on you. A typical user going through one coil every week or two, plus e-liquid, will still spend noticeably less per month than someone buying single-use devices repeatedly, which is why refillable vaping remains the lower-cost route.

To keep things honest, here is how it compares with other approaches you might be considering.

• Against other mesh tanks from larger rivals. Freemax, Vaporesso, Smok, Geekvape and others all sell mesh tanks that perform in the same broad territory. Differences come down to coil availability, finish, filling mechanism and personal taste, not a decisive gap in vapour or flavour. The most practical test is which coil family you can buy easily and which you already own.
• Coil lock-in. PnP coils are not interchangeable with GTX, Freemax or Smok coils. If you already own a different brand's mod and spare coils, switching to a PnP tank means starting a new coil stock. If your device and coils are Voopoo, the opposite is true and the tank is a natural fit.
• Against pod kits. A pod kit is smaller, simpler and easier to carry, and is better suited to people who want a tight draw and no maintenance. A tank gives more vapour, more flavour range and more control, at the cost of more routine and a bigger device.
• Against rebuildable tanks. Rebuildable atomisers cost less to run and allow customisation, but they take skill and time. A plug-and-play tank asks for none of that.

On the UK rules, a few facts are worth knowing. Tanks sold at retail are limited to 2ml. Nicotine e-liquid is limited to 20mg per ml and 10ml per bottle, with larger shortfill bottles sold nicotine-free and used with separate nicotine shots. Vaping products must carry health warnings and be sold only to adults over 18, and the sale of single-use disposable vapes has been prohibited since 1 June 2025. Retailers are expected to offer take-back of old devices, and you can also use council recycling points.

The overall verdict is a measured one. The Voopoo Maat Tank New is a sturdy, well-made and easy-to-use tank that does what it is meant to do, and it makes particular sense for anyone already using Voopoo hardware. If you are new to sub-ohm tanks, pair it with a capable device, choose a modest nicotine strength, prime the coil properly and take your time over the settings, and it should give you a steady and enjoyable vape.
