As Determined by the Spinfuel Vape Staff
2017 was a great year to be a Vaper. (2018 looks to be even better so far!) Terrific new Mods were introduced constantly (especially by SMOKTech!). New Sub-Ohm Tanks, RDA’s, RDTA’s and RTA’s were introduced almost as much. It was hard for us to keep up, and we’re in the business of keeping up! There are the hundreds of reviews published right here in Spinfuel VAPE, written by a staff of professional writers, and more important, passionate Vapers. That being the case, it’s time (finally) to release the 2017-2018 Best Vape Mods, Tanks, and E-Liquids, according to the Spinfuel VAPE Staff.
Below is our detailed “Best Of List” created by the staff and broken down into; Box Mods, Tanks (Sub-Ohm or otherwise) , and e-Liquids that have been in release in 2017, and through January 2018. As the year progresses we expect to make changes to the list, or at least we hope we do. Changes to the list means a new Mod, a new Tank, or a new favorite E-Liquid has captured the hearts and imagination of the staff. And that’s a good thing! It means the vape industry is continuing to improve, maybe even innovate once and a while.
Now, naturally, not everyone will agree with our list of “our” best mods, tanks and eliquids, but we so hope it will provide our readers with a clear and concise overview of what we believe to be the best mods, tanks, and eliquids on the market today. As 2018 progresses, you can expect this list to change. We have our favorites, and we’re sure you do too. So, we’ve put together a Vape Survey that will allow you to voice your own Best Mods, Tanks, E-Liquids.

Great design, best sub-ohm tank, an obvious pick
SMOK X-PRIV Starter Kit
Why is the X-PRIV Kit the best of 2017/2018? Well, for one, as SMOK fans in general, the X-PRIV is the most sophisticated design to come from SMOK in forever. On the tall side, with a large OLED color display, this dual-18650 hi-amp machine is capable of pushing 225W of power. A full temperature suite is part of the newest chipset developed by SMOK, along with all the safety protections you come to expect from SMOKTech. But, it’s the colors, the corba resin super-glossy pattern that makes up the full body battery door, it’s ergonomic design built for any and every hand on a global scale, and of course, with the perfect matching Sub-Ohm Tank, the TFV12 Prince.

Starter Kit Runner Ups
SMOK G150 TC Starter Kit
We know, we know. Another SMOK product. When we counted up the votes of our entire staff we were just as surprised. But there is something about this little bugger that makes you fall in love with it. Largely ignored by vape community, this diminutive 150W internal battery mod, with its Big Baby tank, is too good to leave off. A 4200-mAh battery insures at least 5 hours of moderate vaping. We love this guy. You would too.
VOOPOO TOO Starter Kit
The VOOPOO TOO 180W TC Starter Kit is the latest vape kit equipped with the GENE-Chip, and includes the very decent UFORCE Sub-Ohm Tank for a gorgeous and unique design and high-performance vaping. Users to easily switch between a single 18650 battery and dual 18650 batteries. At first, discovering how to place the batteries into the body was sort of weird, but once we discovered it, the concept made sense.
