Reviewer comments on business characteristics

VGOD is one of those “high end” brands that design in the United States but manufacture in China to remain competitive in terms of pricing. This brand has a good resonance with confirmed vapers. The product that we are going to discover together is an RDTA type atomizer.

The Trick Tank Pro offers a velocity plate in the high position made for double coil assemblies. It has a 4ml tank and a generous but fixed airflow system.

Offered at a price of 59.90 €, it is placed on the upper edge of the mid-range. 10 to 20 € more expensive than 100% Chinese productions of the same type, so it will be necessary to be convincing to find takers.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

The Trick Tank adopts the standard diameter of 24mm and is 47mm high. Dimensions completely within the current standards of this atomizer family.

Its design is very fluid, the lines are very simple and clean. A black delrin drip-top is screwed onto the top-cap. On this same top-cap, we find, as only decorative element, an engraving “VDOG”. Once in place, the latter cannot turn on itself. Indeed, it fits on the tray thanks to two notches.


Between the top-cap and the tank, we can distinguish the two air inlets cut in the mass. No adjustment system, the airflow will therefore be generous but fixed. The “upper” part of the atomizer is more extended than the lower part, which informs us of the high position of the coils, from the first glance. 

Then we find the 4ml tank in Pyrex, the base and its 510 gold plated stud.

Under the top-cap, we notice the velocity type plate made for double coil assemblies. It is able to receive cables of good diameter. The air arrives through four rectangular openings positioned in pairs, stacked under the coils. These air inlets are framed by round section holes which are intended to receive your cotton wicks.


Still under this top-cap, we discover on one side the filling system which consists of an opening of good diameter.
The realization does not suffer from any lack, the elements are perfectly machined, the finish is undoubtedly level.

An atomizer with a rather discreet style for an American creation. It is certainly a little massive but the simplicity and the “softness” of its lines allow it not to become too “heavy” aesthetically.

Functional features

  • Connection type: 510
  • Adjustable positive stud? No, flush mounting can only be guaranteed by adjusting the positive pad of the battery or the mod on which it will be installed.
  • Presence of air flow regulation? Yes, but fixed only
  • Diameter in mm maximum of the air regulation possible: 10
  • Minimum diameter in mm of the air regulation possible: 10
  • Positioning of the air regulation: Below and benefiting the resistances
  • Atomization chamber type: Bell type
  • Heat dissipation of the product: Normal

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The Trick Tank is designed for the production of generous and tasty clouds. It is made to accommodate two coils. These find their place on a velocity deck in the up position.

VGOD has chosen a fixed airflow system, so you will not be able to play on the air supply to vary the vape.


You will therefore have to play on the resistances to modulate your sensations, knowing that the generous airflow will leave you no other possibility than to practice a vape in direct inhalation.

Our atomizer is equipped with a filling system consisting of a single opening in order to create a certain pressure. The purpose of this system is to supply your wicks with juice correctly and that without having to immerse your cotton in the bottom of the tank.

VGOD has not adopted a dome for the interior of the bell, the proximity of the resistors and the lower air flow should in theory ensure a good definition of the flavors.

So little to add, this Trick Tank offers rather classic technical choices. Finally, the most original is the choice of a fixed airflow system. According to the manufacturer, it is perfectly designed to allow you to combine high production of steam and good taste sensations, which we will hasten to verify.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Type of attachment of the drip-tip: Owner only
  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
  • Length and type of drip-tip present: Short
  • Quality of the present drip-tip: Medium (not very pleasant in the mouth)

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

The drip-tip is more of a drip-top, it is screwed on the top-cap and there is no adapter in the pack, so no possibility of adopting another mouthpiece.

The tip is rather short, so your lips are very close to the resistors. Personally, I don't always find it very pleasant because when you get up a little the heat is quickly felt in the lips.

You can put an 810 drip-tip in it to lengthen it, but this may damage the aesthetics a little. Hopefully VGOD offers us a more practical alternative later.

Evaluation of the packaging

  • Presence of a box accompanying the product: Yes
  • Would you say that the packaging is up to the price of the product? Can do better
  • Presence of a user manual? Yes
  • Is the manual understandable for a non-English speaker? No
  • Does the manual explain ALL features? Yes

Vapelier's note on packaging: 3.5 / 5 3.5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

If VGOD claims to be of a higher median level, we can not say that this is felt in the presentation of the Trick Tank.
The fine cardboard box is well dressed, the different visuals of the product are rather pretty. We find all the factual and normative elements usually present on the packaging of products intended for the vape.

But, once in hand, we quickly realize that the “plumage” is not up to the “ramage”.

Inside, a simple dense foam receptacle in which we find our atomizer and accessories (spare pyrex, gasket, screws, coils, insulation, T-screwdriver).

Finally, there are two small stickers in the colors of the brand and a minimalist notice.

This presentation seems to me a notch below what is done elsewhere, VGOD plays it a little hair arm on this one.

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 3.5 / 5 3.5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

Is it necessary to tell you that mounting coils is no problem, the velocity type tray has proven itself. Cotton, on the other hand, is a little trickier to put in place.

Indeed, the holes provided for the passage of the latter are not very wide, it will be necessary to use tweezers to succeed in the operation. Fortunately, it is not necessary to immerse the wicks to the bottom of the tank.

The filling is done easily thanks to the hole located on the side of the deck. It can be done without any worry, even standing in the street.


Once again, I underline the absence of adjustment of the airflow, it is completely assumed on behalf of VGOD which imposes here an airflow of ideal intensity to exalt the flavors and ensure a beautiful production of flavor. And if you like direct vaping, no problem, the bet is successful.

The only really negative thing is, as I pointed out above, the small size of the drip-tip which can be a little uncomfortable, the proximity of the resistances is quickly felt at the level of the lips.

An atomizer in the right average in terms of its use but still must appreciate the vape.

Recommendations for use

  • With which type of mod is it advisable to use this product? Electronics AND Mechanics
  • Which mod model is it recommended to use this product with? An electro that has a little trunk or a good old bad guy
  • With which type of EJuice is it advisable to use this product? All liquids without problem
  • Description of the test configuration used: double alien clapton to 0.20Ω
  • Description of the ideal configuration with this product: A configuration made for the DL

was the product liked by the reviewer: Bof, it's not the craze

Overall average of the Vapelier for this product: 3.6 / 5 3.6 5 out of stars

The mood ticket of the reviewer

How can a VGOD product end with such an unflattering note? So no, it's not because the product is bad, it's actually pretty cool.

Its simple and refined style is very successful, the atomizer is imposing but not “heavy” visually speaking. The production is of a very good standard, no complaints, the parts are clean and well machined.

In use, it is quite practical: fitting the coils, filling the tank, everything is in place. We can point out all the same that cotton is a little tricky to put in place without tweezers.

The sensations are good, a nice steam, good flavors, nothing to say.

The only really negative point is with the drip-top, I find it a little too short, so I fitted it with an 810 drip-tip, but the visual result is not great, at least with the drip-tip that I had on hand.

So why a note so low?

I respect VGOD's idea of ​​offering us its vision of the vape by imposing the airflow and the double coil. It's a bit like buying a super sharp sports car and it can only fit on one track.

It is also typically the type of atomizer that will be found quickly on occasion because it will be necessary to appreciate the performance as it is. So yes, we can still slightly modulate the vape by playing on the coils, but the airflow will always be the same.

You have to be aware when buying the possibility of never finding your account. At 59.90 €, some will not take this risk and even if I appreciated this product, I underline with this note its total lack of versatility.

Good Vape,

Vince.
