20 Questions
@gremla-hemlock and @westywrites have both tagged me back in the 10 Questions game, so I’ve decided to put them into one post and then add 10 new questions back at the end. I’ll tag you both back as well as @ruledbyserenity, @theflowofink and @bookbrd! Ignore this if you don’t want to take part :)
@gremla-hemlock‘s questions:
How many chapters do you expect to have? Are they short chapters that only last a couple pages or large chapters spanning 20+ pages?
In the first draft of Parts 1 - 3 of my series, there are 130 chapters. That’d average each chapter as 2415 words. Some of my chapters are as short as a sentence whereas others are 6/7K words based on whether it’s a backstory or amidst the action.
What is/would be your main character’s favorite type of vehicle to drive? (Go as crazy as you want – tank, helicopter, drone, robot armor)
There aren’t many vehicles in my series! But given the choice (I’m not that crazy haha):
Alex: Train. His family have worked in producing train tracks in the past, so he’d like to test out what they made.
Miriam: Miriam would be all or nothing. She’d either walk or have some crazy over the top tank.
Sebastian: Skateboard. Motorised if he needs to be anywhere soon.
Aiden: Why drive when you're capable of flying?
Noah: Train. Something simple in concept but complex to drive.
Roman: Roman’s late grandfather was a famous airship driver. He’ll be nervous about it, but he’ll try flying it himself later in the series and love it!
Cyrus: He makes his own motorbikes canonically, so I think he’d stick to those.
Which true crime story is your plot most like, even if it’s a stretch?
I have no idea, to be honest! True crime isn’t really my thing haha
Who would be the first in your main characters to punch a Nazi?
Probably Sebastian
If your book were to become a smash hit with a fandom, what word or phrase could you say that would make the masses break into mass hysteria?
Rather than a word or phrase, it would be a name: ROMAN
In cleaning a house or apartment as a punishment, which room would your character(s) least likely want to clean and why? No doubling up rooms.
Alex: Kitchen. He and kitchens aren’t compatible whatever the scenario.
Miriam: The library because she knows she’ll just get distracted.
Sebastian: Hallways. Hallways are just boring, he can’t snoop much there (that’s a lie though, he snoops in a hallway in Book 3).
Aiden: Aiden actually likes cleaning (weirdo). But if he’d have to pick one, it’d be the attic/basement. No particular reason.
Noah: Bathroom. Ew body hair.
Roman: Any bedroom that isn’t his. He never goes into other bedrooms so it’d make him uncomfortable.
Cyrus: Any hobby rooms (shed, study, art room etc.). He’s usually clean but hates having to tidy up his hobby stuff each time he has to take a break.
On a scale of 1-10 how are evil are you to your characters and writing your books?
Alex: He starts pretty low then it shoots up as of Book 3. Like a 3 to an 8/9.
Miriam: 8. One bad thing is sorted out and then another one happens.
Sebastian: 4. Mostly he just sulks because nobody has considered him in issues, although there are only really three major things that affect him. It’d be higher if it wasn’t in comparison to the others.
Aiden: 1. Aiden is put on a pedestal so he gets a good life.
Noah: 4. Aiden is put on a pedestal so he gets a not so good life.
Roman: 8. The same reason as Miriam.
Cyrus: 7. His is mostly emotional, he doesn’t get into so many physical problems unlike Alex, Miriam and Roman, hence the slightly lower score.
Writing: 11 ofc.
In the world of Avatar, which element would your characters be?
Air: Aiden
Water: Roman, Cyrus,
Fire: Miriam, Alex
Earth: Noah, Sebastian
If you have a villain, could the plot progress without them? What would that look like?
A lot of people are ambiguous anti-heroes/anti-villains, but I do have a few villains! Namely Dr A, Luka and the Highest Empress.
In the beginning, it is namely Miriam vs. Alex even though neither of them are really villains. It couldn’t progress without either of them. But I think it could go on without the Highest Empress. She just adds another scale to the guy's villainy and was a late addition anyway.
What would your sequel be about? If you don’t intend to have a sequel but were forced to write one, what would the plot be?
I’m working on a series right now and I’m three parts in. Part 4 involves Miriam going on a tour of the nine Empire’s to establish her political connections between the Grand Master’s since it seems likely that Grand Master Ivanov may not be in his role for much longer.
Alex is on the tour and is dealing with a lot of issues from a revelation made in Book 3.
@westywrites‘ questions:
Do your mcs like cats or dogs more?
Cats: Cyrus (he got attacked by a dog when he was a little boy so it’s he doesn’t like dogs rather than he’s a cat fan), Noah
Dogs: MIRIAM AND ROMAN, Aiden (is a doggo in human form), Sebastian, Alex
Do they prefer to be hot or cold?
Hot: Aiden, Alex, Sebastian, Cyrus
Cold: Miriam (she rules the Empire of Ice), Roman, Noah
Do they prefer action movies or rom-coms?
Action: Sebastian, Alex, Miriam
Rom-com: Aiden, Cyrus, Noah (don’t tell Aiden pls), Roman
Choose one character and tell me what flavour of ice cream they’d be. Why?
There is a running gag between Aiden and Miriam about salted caramel ice cream. In Aid’s first appearance, he literally bans her from eating it because she’s salty enough as it is.
What was the plot of the best short story you’ve ever read?
I’m personally not a huge fan of short stories! I love series so much that I tend to wait until they’re finished (if they’re near the end) so I can binge in one go rather than wait.
If you write short stories, what’s the plot of your favourite one you’ve ever written?
Despite what I just said, I actually came in the top 5% for a national short story writing competition once (the only one I’ve entered). It’s prompt was an era in historical fiction that isn’t as well known about. The interwar period qualified, so my work was about Kristallnacht. I originally wrote it for my GCSE English Literature course. The prompt was ‘use a theme presented in Shakespeare’ (so almost write whatever you want to be honest, it was both a great and cruddy prompt), so I used the theme of conflict.
What is the meanest thing you’ve ever done to a character?
A character in my side project goes through Chinese Water Torture.
What was the kindest thing you’ve ever done to a character?
Two characters who are desperate for a child have a surrogate offer to carry a child for them :)
Was writing something you always wanted to do or something you stumbled into?
I started when I was six so I don’t remember not writing to be honest! When I was little, I won just enough writing awards to keep my flitty self motivated to stick at it. When I was in Junior school (7-10), a few school projects that I got praised for were:
- An adventure story. All I remember is the villain was named Candy and that we got to sit outside to write them.
- Webcomic promoting saving water: Wacky Wayne the water drop.
- A rendition of Little Red Riding Hood where Red Riding Hood (Bossy Blue Stomping Hoodie or something like that) was rude af and the grandma injured herself in an international gymnastics tournament.
Do you have any quotes from your own writing that mean a lot to you?
“Tears do not mean fear, they mean you hold your true self dear.” - Noah and Aiden’s mother.
She taught it to them to let them know that boys allowed to cry rather and shouldn’t feel fearful of judgement, but that applies to everyone!
DON’T BOTTLE UP YOUR EMOTIONS!
My questions:
Do you have birthdays assigned for your characters? What zodiac signs do they fall under? (If not, then which zodiac stereotype are they most like?)
What are your MC’s thoughts on hugs?
Are any of your characters abnormally tall or short?
Did your MC’s have any other names before you settled on their current ones?
If you had to compare your MC(s) to an animal, which would you pick?
Do any characters have unique physical features (from birth or acquired)?
How do/would your MC’s take their coffee/tea?
If your MC’s were in this universe, which country do you think they’d like to visit?
How many children does your MC have? Or how many do you think they’ll have/would like to have?
Which of your MC’s would be the best in a physical fight?

Tony Stark Has Many Problems
“Ah, my friends!" Thor booms, and it's a strangely-familiar sound amid the slick noises emanating from Loki's (very pert) bottom. "My brother and I could hear your lovers' quarrel from our positions here. Would you care to join us?"
Tony and Steve have been dating for a while, but one little problem - they haven't had sex. It's making Tony very frustrated - he's never been this sexually inactive in his life - frustrated enough to take his anger out on Steve. Unfortunately (or fortunately) for them, Thor and Loki, recently reconciled and newly intimate, are more than happy to share their expertise with Steve and Tony.
Rating: Explicit
Relationships: Steve/Tony, Thor/Loki (but mainly steve/tony centric)
Read on AO3 (bc tumblr messes up the formatting)
Count: 7k
Tony Stark has many problems.
Dum-E's gotten smart enough to figure out how to brew a cup of coffee, but not smart enough to realise that bringing a hot, steaming cup of coffee to Tony's worktable when he's holding a blowtorch, and spilling said cup of coffee all over Tony's lap, isn't usually the way coffee is served. Clint needs new arrows but this time he wants arrows that play Taylor Swift music when they explode - God only knows why - and Tony is having a really hard time trying to pick a song of hers that doesn't make him puke at the first teeny-boppy chord. Loki has recently taken up residence in his tower - his tower, goddammnit! - and hasn't caused any mischief in the past two days; in fact, he's even helped Tony out of a sticky situation on the battlefield, and things are getting so unreal right now, and oh, Pepper isn't answering his calls because he forgot to vet her speech for the Stark Industries annual ball even though she sent him twenty emails to remind him about her speech, and he really needs chocolate but Thor ate the last Kit-Kat yesterday, and Jarvis - that asshole - conveniently forgets to add chocolate to his grocery list, there's nothing wrong with his weight, goddamnit -
Oh, right, where was he?
Tony Stark has many problems, yes, but his new relationship with Steve isn't one of them. The fact that he's actually started dating the star-spangled, pinnacle-of-human-achievement, Spandex-wearing Captain America hadn't quite sunk in until after Steve had asked him out to lunch at the new diner down the road, and he'd looked down and seen that little burn mark on Steve's thumb, and felt a warm sensation flare in his chest. Because Steve'd told everyone he'd gotten it from fighting the Doombots that morning, but Tony alone knew he'd really gotten it from accidentally sticking his hand in the microwave when it hadn't been switched on. The memory had reminded him that, behind the facade of stoic patriotism and stern-faced Mama-bearism that Steve Rogers wears, he really is just Steve , a dork of the highest degree, who still thinks Jarvis is an actual human being hiding somewhere on one of the ninety-three floors of Stark Tower.
So yes, Tony can hardly believe that Steve is his, really his. It still has somewhat of a dreamlike quality about it, him and his childhood idol, holding hands on a picnic mat under the stars, watching Pretty Woman on Netflix while Steve respectfully gushes about how beautiful Julia Roberts is, kissing desperately in Steve's room while Clint and Thor play Mario Kart in the living room next door -
Okay, maybe there is one teeny-tiny, miniscule, quark-sized problem. And the problem is that Steve is absolutely not down for anything involving him, Tony, a bed and possibly fruit-flavoured condoms (well, a man can always dream). Sure, they'd kissed a couple of times, and maybe even engaged in some heavy petting where Tony had gotten to touch one marvellously-shaped pec before Steve had broken off stammering and red-faced, unable to look him in the eye and sporting an impressive bulge that had Tony drooling. But of course, Tony is all about respect - how proud Pepper would be of him now, if she'd only answer his calls - and he'd mournfully backed off every time Steve had called the festivities to a halt and gone off to spend a suspiciously long time in the bathroom.
Tony thinks sadly of the steamy dream he'd had last night - Steve on his lap, hands down each others' pants, and stroking each other to completion. If his younger self were here now, he'd be laughing his head off at how fucking tame Tony has become. Fifty Shades of Grey has nothing on his college days, but now he's with Steve, quite possibly the love of his life, and even the thought of a quick handjob between the sheets is arousing as hell to Tony.
Tony thinks the problem between them's because Steve's still a virgin. Hell, he knows it's because Steve's a virgin - no girl had wanted to put their hands on the skinny, asthmatic twig that had been Steven Rogers in the good ole pre-world war days, and once he'd become the gold standard for male attractiveness, being a war hero and propaganda tool hadn't exactly left much time for him to indulge. And now, in this new world where sex isn't as big a taboo as it used to be and with everyone speaking practically a foreign language, it's made Steve even more wary of carnal relations.
Yeah, Tony understands, and he's heartbroken for Steve, really he is, thinking about all the times someone'd rejected him just because they could curl their whole hand around his wrist and have their fingers meet, and about how Steve sometimes comes back after a solo jaunt about Brooklyn and just needs to lie down in Tony's lap for a while.
Unfortunately, he's also suffering from the worst case of blue balls in the entire American history. No, scratch that, the entire history of humankind, and animalkind, the entire history of the universe . Hell, he'd gone out and seen a pair of squirrels in flagrante delicto on a nearby tree branch, and he'd been so frustrated he'd pulled on his suit and taken out a whole fleet of robots in the training room.
The two sides of him - the one that's all sappy and pussywhipped and wants to worship and adore the very ground Steve walks on, versus the side making him make a bonfire out of all the Avengers' porn mags (except Natasha, because he actually values his life, despite what everyone says, and he doesn't even know if she has porn mags. Do girls read porn?) - are in huge conflict, and it's driving him crazy. Crazy enough that he's taken to avoiding spars with Steve, because if he has to endure one more chokehold with Steve's very hard, very manly body pressed against the entirety of his back, he will possibly fly to Latveria himself and offer himself as a sacrifice to Doom. Which is not a very welcoming thought, and Tony is sorry he even thought about it.
And of course avoiding Steve never works, because they know each other so well. Instead, Steve has started following him around Stark Tower and hiding outside his workshop to give him heart attacks at one am, with his goddamn baby blue puppy eyes. He doesn't even need to say anything, and already Tony feels guilty.
That's why Steve manages to corner him when he's dragged himself out of his workshop at - surprise! - a perfectly respectable hour to scrounge up some dinner, holding a plate of mac and cheese and touching Tony’s bicep with a gentle enough touch that makes Tony want to scream.
"Tony?" he says, and his eyes are very blue. "Can I talk to you?"
Tony knows he's lost the moment Steve opens his mouth, but he feels the telltale itch in his left ball - the one he gets when he hasn't experienced a release in many days - and suddenly he's resigned to the conversation that will follow. He sighs, and grabs the plate from Steve. At least he won't be hungry later during the inevitable argument, he tells himself, sadly.
He keeps walking to the kitchen anyway, hoping to get a cup of coffee, and slowing down to keep Steve at his side as a concession. Steve looks at him, his eyes crinkling, and oh no, that's not a good crinkle, it's a bad crinkle, and it usually means he's sad about something, and this time it isn't Tony's left ball that twinges, it's somewhere in his chest.
"Tony, you've been avoiding me," Steve says, directly, without preamble, because that's just the kind of guy he is. "At first I thought you were injured, y'know, because you only avoided me when we were supposed to spar, but then I realised you're not doing the same for Clint and Thor and Natasha and uh, I just wanted to ask..." He trails off, and Tony stops. He feels his heart in his mouth (and the macaroni too, but that's a different matter altogether) as he looks into Steve's eyes, and sees them bad-crinkle even further.
"Is something wrong?" Steve finally asks, and holy shit, he must've just bathed, because there's a strand of blond hair so dark it looks almost brown, escaped from his perfectly groomed fringe, and hanging over his eyes. It's adorable, and yep, Tony is totally whipped, because he automatically lifts a hand to brush it away, and immediately Steve's expression softens.
But he's still waiting for an answer.
Tony sighs. Best to get it over with, then. He fidgets with the spoon and can't meet Steve's eyes as he says, "Well, it's not something wrong , per se... Just, y'know, I'm just feeling a little... a little sick. Yeah, that's right. Feeling a little... under the weather. I think it was something Dum-E gave me, that salad he served me the other day didn't look very fresh..."
God, he's such a chicken, and when did he become such a bad liar, because Steve looks totally unconvinced. He steps closer and lays a hand on Tony's forehead instead, and that was such a bad idea, he should've said he'd gotten food poisoning instead, because now he can smell Steve's scent, the smell of fresh pine trees from his deodorant and underneath, that musky smell that is, uniquely, Steve's. Hasn't he read somewhere that if you liked a person's smell, you were compatible, because you had the same kind of olfactory receptors, or something? He tries not to think about it, and focus instead on not spontaneously combusting or ejaculating in his pants or something equally embarrassing.
Thankfully, Steve steps away after a harrowing few seconds, frowning. "You don't feel like you have a temperature, though," he murmurs, and there's so much concern in his voice that, suddenly, Tony feels irrationally annoyed. He's being such a mother hen, God , and usually Tony finds it adorable, but this time he's in a mood, a sexually-deprived, pissed-off mood, and he just wants to hole himself up in his room with twenty boxes of tissues and his Cockyboys lifetime subscription. And meanwhile he has this actual hunk of man-meat all to himself, but he can't touch him - the gods are truly evil. Tony wonders if switching to Norse pagan faith would give him better luck, seeing as how he's currently housing two deities of said faith under his roof, at great personal and financial cost.
His patience finally snaps when Steve produces a thermometer out of absolutely nowhere , and tries to stick it in his mouth. Angrily, he pushes him away, and tries to make excuses for running up to his room, but Steve is having none of it, and really Tony can't be blamed for finally yelling: "I'M ANGRY BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD SEX, OKAY?? Now will you stop bothering me and let me go upstairs so I can jerk off over the one porn mag I have left?"
It's almost worth it for the comical expression of shock on Steve's face, his plump, beautiful lips in a perfect 'o', the one strand of hair once again escaping his fringe to hang over his eyes. Then of course his mouth snaps shut and pinches into an unhappy line, his eyes bad-crinkle even further, and Tony wants to hit himself. God, he's the worst person ever , isn't he? Yelling at Steve when all he'd been trying to do was make sure Tony's okay, taking out his frustration on Steve and bringing up the one thing he knows will hit his boyfriend the hardest. A low blow it was, and Tony immediately regrets ever opening his mouth. This is why people aren't supposed to talk to him when he hasn't had his caffeine, dammit!
He grabs Steve's biceps and, for the first time, doesn't focus on how they feel like the goddamn rock of Gibraltar under this hands. "Look, I didn't mean that," he babbles, frantically trying to erase the past few minutes. If he doesn't remember it, it means it doesn't exist, right? "I just meant, uh, I've been really tired recently and I haven't been able to -"
"To indulge yourself?" Steve interrupts him, and his voice is strangely steady. In surprise, Tony lets go of his biceps, and, finding nothing to do with his hands, lets them fall limply to his sides. Steve is staring down at the ground now, his face expressionless, but Tony knows him - he knows he's thinking.
"I'm just... I'm just afraid," he finally whispers, so soft that Tony hardly hears it.
"Sorry?" Tony says. He can't believe his ears.
Steve finally looks up, and his eyes are burning with anger and frustration and hell, is it inappropriate for Tony to be having an erection right now? Because his dick has taken the train to Bonerland and it sure as hell didn't buy a return ticket. Just imagining that intensity focused on him, in the throes of passion, Steve's strong hands pinning him down as he pounds his ass to high heaven -
"I said, I'm just afraid of sex! With you!" Steve says, and it hits Tony that he's yelling, his face blotchy with anger and his fists balled at his side. "It's easy for you, isn't it, you've done it a thousand times, how could I possibly compare? The farthest I've ever gotten is kissing - with you , I might add - and I'm just a virgin with hardly any experience, how would I know anything about how to please you, and after a while you're going to get bored of me because I don't know how to fuck you properly, and then you'll leave me and I'll just - ugh! " Breaking off with the most eloquent, disgusted exhalation of fury Tony has ever heard, Steve turns on his heel and stomps angrily down the hall towards the kitchen.
Tony stands stock still for a few seconds, his mind rapidly whirring through the deluge of words, before it finally clicks and it all falls into place.
Steve's scared , scared of having sex with Tony, because he thinks he's not good enough, with all Tony's experience, never mind that Tony's had sex a thousand times before, sure, but he can count the number of times he's made love on one hand. Steve isn't going to be a nameless fuck to him, Tony knows he's special , and he curses himself as he realises it's his fault for not making absolutely sure Steve knows it too.
He turns and runs down the hall to the kitchen, where Steve has already disappeared behind the door, pushing it open and fully intending on explaining himself to Steve, when the scene before him makes him stand absolutely still again, for the second time in minutes.
Because there's Thor, and there's Loki, and a whole lot of naked skin, and they're fucking against his kitchen counter .
A voice in his brain reminds him that this is hardly sanitary, but he brushes it aside in favour of looking at Steve, who's also standing there in shock, his hand gripping the table as if he can hardly stand upright.
"Ah, my friends!" Thor booms, and it's a strangely-familiar sound amid the slick noises emanating from Loki's (very pert) bottom. "My brother and I could hear your lovers' quarrel from our positions here. Would you care to join us?"
---
Tony can't move his limbs. Although he's seen a good many bodies in his lifetime - and with many of them belonging to the sexiest stars of his generation and the next - there's just something different about watching Thor and Loki going at it. For one, they're brothers - adopted , Loki always insists, but it never seems to make a difference to the way they treat each other - which adds an illicit touch to the whole affair that makes it just that tad bit more arousing. And for another, it's just unfair the way some people seem to get all the luck. Even though Loki's an evil son of a bitch, there's hardly a blemish on his soft skin, and the smooth lines of his back flex as he writhes and undulates sinuously under Thor's body. He's bent over with his hands braced on the counter, neck thrown back, and Thor pauses in his movements to lean forward and issue a sharp bite to the back of his neck that leaves a bright red mark against the pale skin. In response to that, Loki utters a high, unabashed keen that sends a thrill up Tony's spine, and Steve's too, from the way he shudders next to Tony.
You'd think he'd be embarrassed, but no, the smug smile he gives Tony while he glances at him under his lashes, speaks otherwise.
"Ah, yes, the noble - ah! - Captain, and the - uhh , Thor, harder - and the man of iron," he says, the breathless moans punctuating his sentences. "Quite a spate of good weather we've been having - ohh, Thor, don't stop , fuck, right there - don't you think?" and yes, he's an absolutely evil piece of shit, because it's been raining and thundering like an Indian monsoon every single day the past two days since Loki had joined them, and now Tony thinks he knows why.
Thor grips Loki's hips and adjusts him, his cock driving into him in a way that makes Loki squeal and lift his arm to curl around Thor's head and dig into his hair. Tony can now see his cock, and he's really going at it, driving it like a piston into Loki's bottom, and why can't he look away?
Steve has been standing silent and stock-still for the past few moments, but now he rouses himself and lets go of the table. "But - but - you're brothers! " he cries, his eyelashes fluttering, and Tony has to swoon a little at that. What, he's only a man, a very mortal man, with a very aching hard-on in his tight work pants and surely there's no harm no foul if he just slips his hand down to cup himself for a bit -
"Yes, Loki and I are brothers - "
" Adopted - " Loki sighs, like an afterthought, and Thor gives him a particularly athletic thrust as if to shut him up.
" - but that far from diminishes the love we feel for each other!" Thor booms, again - he only has one default way of speaking. "Actually, we have you my shield brothers to thank for helping us rediscover our love for each other. It was only when Loki came to Midgard last week to greet us that we discovered our passion for each other was beyond that of brotherly love. Loki, say thank you," and he slips an arm under Loki's chest and heaves him upright so he's facing the two of them, and Tony can see the blissed-out expression on his face and his very long, pale, slim cock bouncing with every thrust.
"Thank you, " Loki breathes, his eyes half-shut, the words like a prayer, but Tony swears that he's looking straight into Tony's eyes, and there's a little half-smirk lifting the corner of his mouth. Yup, he's definitely the devil. A devil, actually, seeing as how they've met the actual, literal devil - but really, Mephisto isn't the one Tony wants to be thinking about, right now.
Instead, he moves closer to Steve and grips his elbow, right as Steve says, his face a little green: "You mean last week when Loki unlocked all the zoo enclosure gates and let the animals out into Central Park - when you two disappeared halfway through the fight - you mean you were - "
"Yes!" Thor rumbles, an ecstatic smile lighting up his face, and really, it's not like Tony's never noticed that, objectively, Thor is probably the most attractive member of the team. Because nothing can hold a candle to Steve, his Steve, but this is really doing a number on Tony's poor battered underserved libido, all that rippling golden muscle and the way his hand is moving over Loki's skin, pinching at his nipples and leaving pink trails where his nails have cut into the flesh.
"And we couldn't help overhearing your argument from just now - " Loki butts in, one hand now gripping Thor's hand and guiding it up to clamp around his throat in a parody of the intimate touch Thor often exclusively confers on his brother. Now, his voice sounds a little bit choked, and a lot breathier , but still he continues. "And we were wondering if we couldn't offer some, ah, assistance ."
"Assistance?!" Steve says loudly, and yes, he is turning green, but Tony chances a peek downwards, and it appears that even though Steve is uncomfortable with the whole situation, certain... parts of his anatomy... don't seem as uncomfortable.
"Yes! My brother and myself, having recently discovered the wonders of carnal pleasure in each others' bodies, are of course enthusiastic for the rest of our beloved team members to find the same! Especially for such beloved shield brothers as the two of you, Friend Anthony and Steven," Thor exclaims, with a series of vigorous thrusts that make Loki go "oof - oof - oof - Thor, there, fuck - "
Tony finally rouses himself out of his reverie at these words, feeling that he has to at least try to look after Steve - even though the words leave him shivering with unadulterated lust, especially after the deep growl that rumbles through Thor's chest as he drills deep into Loki and holds himself there. He grips Steve's elbow tighter and attempts to smile without letting on how frazzled he is.
"Uh, thanks for the offer, Point Break, but I think we'll figure it out ourselves - " he says, already ready to drag Steve out of the room where they can go and finish their argument, but to his absolute surprise, Steve rips his arm out of Tony's grip and turns to face him. His eyes are burning again, but this time with a determined expression that tells Tony that he's already made up his mind.
"I want to do it, Tony," he says, decisively. "I want to... I want to learn how to pleasure you."
Tony's eyes widen. "I can do that," he offers weakly. "I know you have your insecurities, but really - "
That was totally the wrong thing to say, and Steve's eyes narrow stubbornly. Instead, he turns away from Tony and strides over to Loki and Thor, who have paused in their lovemaking to look at the two of them. Loki has a speculative gleam in his eye that bodes no good, but still, Tony follows Steve helplessly, caught in his orbit. He only just remembers to set down the macaroni plate, with a tremor in his hands that he quickly stills.
"Tell me what to do," Steve says, and the purposeful lilt to his voice makes Tony adjust himself again. God, he's using his Captain America voice , as if he doesn't know that that drives Tony absolutely crazy - except, well, he probably doesn't.
Thor and Loki exchange glances, then Thor places a hand in the small of Loki's back and bends him over. He takes Steve's hand and places it right there , where Thor's fat cock is half thrust in, the rim of Loki's hole is stretched taut around the expanse of Thor's dark, almost-purple cock. It's obscene, and possibly the most arousing thing Tony has ever seen.
"Can you feel that?" Thor whispers, and the reverence in his voice is startling. Steve nods sharply, panting in quick, short breaths, his eyes half-closed as if he's trying to block out what's happening. Almost involuntarily, his fingers gently caress the stretched rim of Loki's hole, where lube is glistening on the wrinkled skin.
Thor presses down on Steve's hand, and Steve gasps as his finger slips in with a wet pop. His bottom lip is caught between his teeth, as he watches Loki's hole clench and ripple around the unexpected intrusion. That same low growl rumbles through Thor's chest again, just when Loki lets out a hiss of shock that ends in a high-pitched whimper.
"That's right," Thor murmurs. "Finger him. Feel him open under you. Get him wet and open and ready to take your cock. If you press there - " Thor's finger slips in and guides Steve to below his cock, where he presses and makes Loki convulse with the stimulation to his prostate. If Tony was a woman, he'd be creaming his pants right now - as it stands, he really needs to wash his boxers already.
For a long moment, there's only the sound of Thor's cock, and the two fingers, squelching around inside Loki's hole, and the pants issuing from Loki's mouth as he swivels his hips in a desperate plea for more stimulation. Then Steve speaks, his voice breathless and rough with lust: "Is that - is that how you start? Is that it?"
Loki bangs his hand against the table in frustration, finally finding his tongue. "Thor, you imbecile, you skipped foreplay," he snaps, bitingly. "Pull out, pull out, show him from the start."
Thor rolls his eyes, clearly used to Loki being a demanding little bitch, and unceremoniously pulls out. Tony isn't sure what's worse, the unabashed fucking of earlier, or seeing Thor's cock flushed and leaking, and the swollen rim of Loki's hole. And is that beard burn around the swell of Loki's buttocks - ?
With his other arm, Thor pulls Loki up again, the other hand on his hip steadying Loki as his legs threaten to give out. He regards Steve thoughtfully for a few minutes, then gestures to Loki's nipples.
"First, you have to arouse him, bring him pleasure so he will writhe and crave your touch," Thor advises, when Steve looks puzzled. "Touch him at his erogenous zones. Stroke him across his neck, his nipples, his belly, the area above his cock, where he likes it the most - but of course Anthony will have his own preferences."
Steve lifts his hand hesitantly and touches Loki's chest gently, right in the centre of his cleavage, his fingers trailing feather-light over the almost-translucent skin. Loki, already on the edge of orgasm and high-strung from Thor's cock, twists and shakes in agitation. He tilts his head, helplessly seeking, his mouth moving and mouthing soundless words. Thor drops his head and answers with a tender kiss, breathing softly across Loki's lips and mouthing absently over his cheekbones.
Although there is the delicious vision of the two gods' cocks dripping below their legs, and the scratches marking the expanse of Loki's chest, Tony cannot tear his eyes away from the sight of Thor and Loki kissing. The movement of Loki's head had seemed so unconscious, without artifice, a desperate wish for contact, and Thor's kiss so tender and intimate that it makes Tony's chest twist. One glance at Steve's face tells him that Steve feels the same, his fingers frozen and unmoving, his eyes full of desire and wanting and trained on Loki's tongue licking at Thor's half-open lips.
A surge of boldness flows through Tony, and he steps closer, next to Steve, and cups one side of Steve's face with his hand. Steve turns to look at him, and although he is much taller than Tony, somehow the warm glow in his eyes makes Tony feel like the greater one. He pulls Steve down and they kiss, lips moving quietly over each other. Steve whispers something against his lips, and the soft caress of his breath across Tony's skin feels unbearably close. Tony pulls away and, with one swift, suddenly-brave movement, pulls his wifebeater over his head and bares his chest to Steve.
Suddenly, he's glad he bathed yesterday.
Steve's fingers settle on his chest, over the blue glow of the reactor. Tony tenses, wondering if perhaps he's made a mistake - if Steve feels repulsion at the inhumane - thing - he's made himself into - but then Steve leans down, and presses his lips to the scarred skin surrounding the reactor. Tony can't feel any sensation from the nerveless skin, but as Steve lifts his head, eyes sparkling, and says "I didn't expect it to be warm - "
Tony pulls him up and lunges for his mouth. Perhaps it's less of a kiss, more of a desperate, sloppy, desire-filled devouring, but Tony feels an unaccountable warmth filling his body, right down to his fingertips and the tips of his toes as Steve keeps his hand steady on his chest, his anchor. He digs his fingers into the soft golden hair at the base of Steve's skull, and strokes frantically through the fine strands, pulling Steve's body flush against his as if by doing so, he could swallow Steve into himself and possess him fully, underneath his skin and in his heart where he's already wormed himself in.
A soft laugh beside them reminds Tony, suddenly, that they have an audience, and simultaneously, he and Steve turn their heads to regard Loki and Thor. There is a new line of bruises along Loki's jawline, outlining the smirk that pulls Loki's mouth to one side.
"Why don't you take his pants off?" he asks, his voice a bored affectation but belying the sharp, keen interest in his eyes, as Thor carelessly kneads the swell of this buttocks between his large hands and watches them, his pupils dilated. "You do know how the basic biology works, don’t you, Captain?"
Steve flushes a bright red, and for a moment Tony panicks and wonders if Loki's words had been too much, perhaps he's scared Steve off with his brazenness and callous words - but then Steve turns back to Tony, and, miracles of miracles, he starts furiously working at Tony's buttons. Tony could almost weep for joy. A little bitter that he hadn't thought to try taunting at first - but maybe it wouldn't have worked, coming from him - Tony's fingers move automatically to his jeans and help Steve. When the jeans finally come off, and Steve yanks them off his legs, he groans involuntarily, his cock springing out, red and throbbing from the pressure of having been confined in his tight-ass jeans.
"What now?" Steve says, defiantly, the flush still high on his cheekbones, and Loki lifts a dainty eyebrow, as though unimpressed by his bravado. He glances over his shoulder at Thor, levelling the same disinterested look at his partner, and Thor smiles lazily, his eyes hooded. With a violent movement, Thor pushes Loki down onto the counter and holds him there with a strong hand at the base of his spine. Loki arches his back and thrashes a bit, but it looks futile, and he's clearly enjoying it, so Tony just rolls his eyes.
Thor reaches down and picks up a bottle of lube from under the counter, and Tony makes a strangled noise, because that's his emergency kitchen lube, and it's mint-flavoured too, and it's half-empty, goddammnit, it hadn't been like that the last time he'd used it , clearly some people have been very, very busy. He squeezes a generous helping onto Steve's outstretched hands, and his own large, thick fingers, and places them on top of Loki's buttocks. Steve mimicks the action, and his fingers are warm against Tony's skin.
"What I showed you before," Thor murmurs, gesturing a rude gesture with two fingers liberally coated in lube, "do it to Friend Anthony. One finger." And with that, he trails his finger down Loki's crack, a soft caress, and probes in slowly. Loki wiggles his bum, clearly impatient, but Thor stills him with a heavy hand on his hip.
Tony watches as Steve's Adam's apple bobs, as he swallows, and he looks down at Tony's hole with such trepidation that Tony feels slightly offended. So he strengthens his hold on Steve's cheek, forces him to look into Tony's eyes.
"Hey," he whispers, "It's alright. It's just me, okay? Little ole Tony Stark. I want you, any way you'll have me. Any way you want. You can take it slow." At his words, Steve's jaw clenches, and he nods, like he's made up his mind. He smears the lube all over his fingers, makes sure they're thoroughly covered, then places his fingers on Tony's hole and pushes.
Tony gasps. It's been such a long time since he'd been penetrated, he'd almost forgotten how painful - and how pleasureable - it could be. It does feel a little clinical, like he's getting a doctor's examination, with the cautious but determined way Steve's spelunking around, but one look at the adorable furrow between Steve's brows, and Tony's unbelieveably turned on, beyond anything he's ever felt before. The simple knowledge that Steve's pushing beyond his boundaries, beyond what he'd initially been comfortable, just for Tony ... the thought makes Tony want to curl up into a ball and squeal like a girl. Except he'd probably take someone's eye out with his dick, which is already hard enough to hammer nails.
"Does it feel good?" Steve breathes. "I'm trying to find the - the prostate - but I can't really, um..."
"It feels good," Tony slurs. He's going out of his mind, but hell, this is possibly the best way to go. He envisions the headlines: CAPTAIN'S COCK CRUSHES CEO. STARK SACRIFICES HIS ASS FOR AMERICA. "A little bit lower, yeah, yeah, lower... uh, not there... ah!" He jerks as Steve brushes his fingers over the spot, sending a warm thrum of liquid pleasure through him and his cock spitting out drops of pre-cum over his stomach as it bobs.
And all the while, Steve keeps relentlessly at it, his touch starting to feel a little less like Tony's last prostate exam - conducted by Bruce, and hadn't it been awkward . Steve's always been a fast learner, even before the serum, from what Tony's heard, and of course now he has the serum coursing through his blood he's practically a genius, because he's found a way of massaging just so in a way that makes Tony utter a very undignified screech, and clutch tight at the base of his cock so he doesn't spill prematurely. Because that would just be the cherry on the cake, wouldn't it.
When he can finally open his eyes, he realises Steve is staring at him with a rapt expression, awe and lust warring in his big baby blues, and Tony fucking blushes , yeah he does, like a goddamn virgin. Because this is turning him on like you wouldn't believe, being despoiled by his hero, being taken apart slowly by Steve , with his hesitant but sure finger pressing at his prostate, and his other hand stroking up and down Tony's side like he needs to keep touching Tony.
"Can I add another?" Steve whispers, his voice tender, and Tony nods, once, tight, not trusting his voice. Steve draws his finger out and presses back in without giving Tony a chance to recover, just the way he likes it. Tony gasps, because now Steve's scissoring, all on his own, and Tony feels almost proud of him, except that he's too busy trying not to die of a heart attack because of Steve's fingers rubbing against his walls and massaging him persistently. Sue him, he's old, and he has a goddamn heart problem. In fact, if he didn't have the arc reactor in, Tony's sure he would have expired of a heart attack ages ago, because now Steve is breathing fast as he looks down at his fingers and Tony's hole tight around them - pained, short, sharp pants of breath as if he's not getting enough oxygen, and it's the most adorable thing ever.
Steve starts moving his fingers in and out, slowly at first, then faster as he gets more sure of himself, fucking Tony on his fingers. And Tony can't help the whimpers coming out of his mouth, because it feels too good, can't help the involuntary swivels of his hips as he tries to grind down on Steve's fingers. But Steve gives a nervous little laugh, and pulls away - Tony thinks he's been scared off, and looks at him, but he sees a hint of a smug smirk around the edges of Steve's mouth, and he can't help it, he laughs a little too, because under the whole goody-two-shoes exterior Steve's actually a little bit of a little shit. And a fucking tease too, apparently.
Tony feels himself loosening, and he knows he's ready. He wants it, wants Steve's cock, so he lifts his foot and strokes one sinful, long stroke over the bulge in Steve's pants. With his toes, he deftly pulls the zipper down and dips inside, caressing the hot flesh within with his foot. Steve's mouth drops open, and his eyes shut, eyelashes sweeping over his cheekbones like a benediction. And hell yes, Tony does feel blessed, thank you very much.
"You going to give it to me, big boy?" Tony breathes. "Gonna give me your big fat cock? Gonna press me down into the sheets and fuck me rough and hard? Can't wait for it. Can't wait to take your cock." And bingo, he'd guessed dirty talk would press Steve's buttons, because Steve is tearing at his button and shoving his jeans down feverishly like he can't wait to get naked. Tony gives a triumphant smile and a mental high-five to himself.
A moan next to his ear reminds him, all of a sudden, that they're not alone. He turns his head and sees Loki's bright green eyes a few centimetres away from him, his pale skin covered in a sheen of sweat, pink tongue darting out to lick at his lips, as Thor fists him vigorously with his hand. Tony cranes his neck to see because, wow, Thor has really big hands, and when he pulls them out Tony can see the slick glisten from the lube, and the way Loki's hole clings to Thor's hands like he's not willing to let go.
Loki lifts a hand and lays it on Tony's cheek, his mouth curling into a mischievous smile. He thumbs at the corner of Tony's mouth, wipes some of his saliva away, and leans closer.
"You and I are much alike, Tony Stark," he purrs, the rich timbre of his voice like silk. "What say you we taunt the boys a bit, hmm?"
Tony's up for anything, he is, and he returns Loki's grin with one of his own. He's not expecting, however, for Loki to grip his chin withh superhuman strength, and yank him into a deep kiss that involves a lot, a lot, a lot of tongue. Loki moans into his mouth, and God, that sounds a lot sexier that it usually does, muffled by his own lips, and Tony gives back as good as he gets, nipping at the corner of Loki's mouth and tangling his tongue with Loki's.
They're ripped apart from each other suddenly, Loki keening a high, unsatisfied keen, and Tony blinking disorientedly. He looks up and sees Thor's hands fisted in Loki's hair, pulling him backwards and forcing his back to curve into a sleek, sinuous arch that pulls his skin taut. Immediately, Thor bends forward and captures Loki's mouth, swallowing his whine in an angry, vicious kiss. Tony can't look away.
Until Steve curls his arms under Tony's buttocks, and lifts him bodily from the kitchen counter.
Tony yelps, and looks at Steve accusingly, a stinging rejoinder ready, but the words die on his lips as he sees the look on Steve's face. His eyes are dark, blown with lust, but more than anything, with possessive anger and intensity that makes Tony shiver uncontrolledly. There's no more shy virgin in Steve now, that's for sure, especially when he wrenches Tony close and presses them together in a full body caress, pressing their lips together in a greedy kiss. He mutters words into Tony's mouth - mine, mine, mine - and Tony answers mindlessly - yours - and he only vaguely registers being carried up the stairs like he weighs nothing more than a feather, and then finally, into Steve's bedroom.
Steve lays him out on the bed and rips off his own shirt, shaking his head as if to clear his thoughts, but it only serves to make him look like a man in a L'Oreal commercial. Really, his looks should be illegal, it's criminally unfair that he looks the way he does, all fair, freckled Irish skin across his shoulders, the deep vee of his hipbones, the dusting of golden hair on his chest and happy trail leading down to Happyland. As he approaches, Tony grips his deltoid wonderingly, feeling how the muscle stretches and flexes under his hungry, questing fingers.
Suddenly, Steve stops, and Tony sees a strange vulnerability in his face.
"Is it the... is it the muscles?" he asks, haltingly. “Is it the muscles that you - ?” And suddenly, Tony remembers - remembers the boy he'd seen in Howard's memorabilia pictures, Steven Grant Rogers before the serum, a scrawny, weak-looking thing - but still effortlessly, ethereally beautiful to Tony, even if everyone'd been too fool to notice at the time. Vehemently, Tony shakes his head, trembling with the strength of his emotion.
"Steve," he says, instead of all the words he wants to say, and that's enough. Steve comes to him, wraps him up in his arms, and slides home. He thrusts deep into Tony, into his core, until Tony can't tell where he ends and where Steve begins. Steve laves kisses over his jaw, his neck, the tender inside of his wrist, until Tony knows he'll have to wear a turtleneck with long sleeves tomorrow. Somehow, the thought excites him, knowing that only he will know the bruises underneath the fabric exist, knowing that he's been marked by Steve, that he's Steve's .
He can feel his climax approaching, almost a distant afterthought, because he's so focussed on the feeling of Steve, around him, inside him. But then Steve grips his cock with a steady hand and starts working him, and Tony tries to hold on, he really does - but he's not released in a long while, and all too quickly it's over. He spurts, long white strands of cum, all over Steve's hand and his abdomen and Tony's own stomach. Steve gasps at the feeling of Tony clenching around him, in the throes of his orgasms, and it's not long before he follows, a mass of hot, sticky fluid filling Tony's insides.
It's the best feeling Tony's had for a long time, all of it. His head's in the clouds, he feels like he's floating on air, and also Steve's cum dripping out of him is possibly the only thing he wants to feel for the rest of his life. He realises Steve feels the same when he feels Steve probing at his poor overstimulated hole, and although he hisses at the sensation, his hips involuntarily jerk towards Steve's fingers.
"Next time," Steve says, distractedly, like he's not even aware of his words, "I'll buy you a plug. So you can keep my cum in you all day, and whenever I look at you, talk to you, kiss you, I'll know you're full of me. Inside you."
Tony sits bolt upright. "You..." he manages, because where did that come from?? But Steve is looking at him now, fondly, that familiar one-sided smirk curving his lips, and really, the thought of being plugged up like that, full to the brim with Steve's cum, and not being able to do anything about it... Well, it turns him on, and his cock gives one valiant twitch. He lies back down.
They lie there in contented silence for a while, Steve humming an unfamiliar tune, and combing his fingers through the sparse curls above Tony's cock. There's so much Tony wants to say, but at the same time, he can't bring himself to say it. Steve looks at him, their eyes meet, and Tony opens his mouth.
"You think they're still going down there? We're going to have to eat breakfast on those countertops tomorrow, y'know," is what comes out instead, and Steve laughs, a quiet, exasperated laugh. Happy and satiated, Tony closes his eyes, wraps his arms around his Steve, and goes to sleep.
His left ball doesn't itch anymore.
---
Precisely at that moment, downstairs:
Loki draws pictures on the countertop with his and Thor's mingled cum. He traces the outline of Mjolnir, remembers the time last week he'd stretched Thor out and made him sit on the hammer for two hours, loose and wet and wanting, and thinks, we'll have to try that again sometime . Thor is slumped over him, watching him trace his little pictures on the countertop with an affectionate look in his eye, one hand carding absent-mindedly through his hair. It's a bit sticky, and uncomfortable, but Loki decides magnanimously that he'll allow Thor this liberty, just this once.
"That was a good thing we did there," Thor rumbles, in his usual self-satisfied manner. Loki rolls his eyes, but quietly, because he's still feeling generous. With both of Thor's fists up his arse, he orgasmed twice, and he's still floating on the cloud of endorphins, so he supposes he should be thankful to Thor, at least...
In fact, he's still feeling a little randy. His cock is beginning to harden again, where it lies against his thigh, and he knows Thor isn't finished with him yet. Thor's not known for being a fertility god for nothing, he isn't.
"You didn't tell me Tony Stark was quite so good-looking," he sighs, affecting a dreamy air. He feels the air pressure around him drop, the distant roar of thunder outside the windows, and smiles a secret smile. Yes, he knows how to rile Thor up, like no one else can - no one knows his brother like he does. That mortal woman can't even compare. Pity she and Thor used to date, because from the things he's heard of her, he thinks he and her might have gotten on, if it weren't for her unfortunate romantic past with his brother. After all, he is something of a scientist, as is she, but daring to touch his Thor isn't a transgression he forgives easily. He can't count how many past lovers of Thor's he's vanquished, and not only that, how many of these past lovers Thor himself had willingly left, just for Loki. No one can take his place at his brother's side, just as he's unwilling to give up this place he's rightfully earned.
As Thor roughly yanks his buttocks apart and settles between his knees, Loki sighs a satisfied sigh, and turns around to gaze languidly at his brother. There's a twinkle in his brother's eyes that signals that he knows he's being played, knows it, and enjoys it, just like how he'd wrested the truth of his past lovers' 'mysterious' disappearances from Loki and simply laughed the matter off before. How can the puny mortal Tony Stark even hope to compare?
Yes, there is no one but Thor for Loki, and no one but Loki for Thor, thinks Loki hazily, as he buries his face in his arms and loses himself to the wicked pleasures of Thor's tongue.

Sub-ohm tanks: the best vape tanks for 2018
It’s been a full year since we looked at six of the best super sub-ohm tanks back in May, 2017. Those tanks were for the cloud chasers – people looking to blow big clouds at above 100 watts. And while they’re still all great tanks, vaping technology moves quickly. It’s time to give you all an update on the best tanks available.
Last year everything moved to top-filling, making it much easier to top up your e-liquid on-the-go. So far in 2018 there have been a couple of new innovations which have made these tanks even better.
Mesh coils
I’m going to write more about mesh coils in a brand new blog post soon, just because it’s such an interesting (and sometimes controversial) topic. But let’s just take a quick peek here.
Mesh started becoming a popular choice for manufacturers with the release of the updated Freemax Fireluke Mesh tank, which came in a variety of finishes (and which we’ll look at more a bit later).
What’s the advantage of mesh coils? Proponents will tell you that not only does mesh give you amazing flavour because of the surface area covered, but it also allows you to run at a lower wattage and therefore preserve battery life.
People who aren’t aboard the mesh train will often state that it drinks your juice, going through a full tank far quicker than other materials. And, of course, some mesh coils are better than others.
Whether or not you’re a fan, mesh coils are evolving over time and it’s a movement worth paying attention to. Most manufacturers are including a mesh coil option with most tanks, whether in the original package or available separately. So it looks like it’s going to be around for quite a while.
Bulb glass
The other major change so far in 2018 is the shape of your tank. You may be used to straight glass, since that’s the way it’s always been. But when you try to increase e-liquid capacity, straight glass means you have to go either wider or taller, neither of which is a great option unless you want your vape to be the equivalent of an old Nokia brick phone.
To reduce height while still allowing tanks to fit within the standard 24 to 28mm measurements that most devices are comfortable with, we’ve seen the advent of bulb glass – it’s exactly what it sounds like, glass in the shape of a bulb, wider in the middle than at the top and bottom.
When you first see it, this may look a bit odd. But when you consider that some of these bulb glasses allow a massive 8ml or more of e-liquid, you can see why it’s becoming popular.
With that covered, let’s take a look at some of this year’s best sub-ohm tanks…
Smok TFV8 X-Baby Tank – “Baby Beast Brother”
Last year, it was all about the TFV8 Baby and TFV8 Big Baby. Smok hit a home run with both of those tanks, combining ease of use with amazing flavour in a wide variety of coils that were able to vaped anywhere from 30-40 watts all the way to just over 100 watts.
The company updated these tanks with the aptly-named “Baby Beast Brother” at the start of this year. It utilises a slightly different coil – the Smok TFV8 X-Baby Coils – and while it looked very similar to its predecessors, it changed from bottom airflow to top airflow, reducing the chance of any leakage.
Combining it with a pen-style mod in the Smok Stick X8 Kit was another masterstroke, meaning they’d also updated one of their best-selling series of devices at the same time. Those who have made the switch to the X-Baby have been thrilled with the results, getting an excellent vape and a very decent 4ml capacity.
Smok TFV12 Prince Series
This one is actually brand new, and you could consider it an even bigger update to the TFV8 Baby series, but also an update to the full-size TFV8 and TFV12 tanks, as well.
There’s three models of the Prince series – the full-size Prince Tank, the resin-finished Resa Prince Tank, and the miniature Prince Baby Tank. All of them are unique. This is also the first example of the bulb glass in action, and boy does it work.
The full-size Smok TFV12 Prince Cloud Beast Tank holds an impressive 8ml of e-liquid, but retains a smaller height than its comparable predecessors. Last year’s Smok TFV12 Tank measured 70mm tall and held 6ml of juice, but this one holds the extra 2ml and actually measures shorter at just 63mm.
Same goes for the Smok TFV12 Resa Prince Cloud Beast Tank, which holds slightly less at 7.5ml, but measures just 58mm tall. The bulb glass extends to 30mm diameter at its widest point, sitting atop a 25mm base. Both of these tanks use the brand new Smok TFV12 Prince Coils, which of course are available in a wide variety of resistances for all wattages.
If you still prefer the Smok TFV8 Baby Coils, then maybe you’d prefer the Smok TFV12 Prince Baby Tank. Yes, we know that’s confusing, but stick with us here.
The Prince Baby Tank increases capacity to 4.5ml while standing just 53.7mm tall – that’s about 5% shorter than the TFV8 Big Baby while retaining almost the same e-liquid capacity. Since the big selling-point of a smaller tank is obviously a smaller size, we’d say this is a pretty big factor.
All three of these options are pretty awesome. Want a bigger cloud? Go for the TFV12 Prince. Like resin? The Resa Prince is made just for you. Prefer the TFV8 Baby coils, or just want a smaller size? Then it’s got to be the Prince Baby.
Vaporesso Cascade
Vaporesso have been the natural opposition to Smok for about twelve months now. When Smok released the Alien, Vaporesso soon followed up with the Revenger. Updates to both kits have added features while retaining a similar low-200s wattage range, and now Vaporesso’s Revenger X Kit is among the best-selling of these high-wattage kits.
So it’s no surprise that the company decided to compete in the high-wattage tank market against Smok’s TFV12 with their own sub-ohm beast. Hence, the Cascade was born.
Holding 7ml of e-liquid, the Cascade differs from Smok tanks in a few vital ways. While both utilise a slide-and-fill top-filling mechanism, Vaporesso have plug-and-pull coils rather than your standard screw-in type. Personally, I’ve found plug-and-pull coils to be almost leak-proof on my personal favourite tank (we’ll get to that one later), and I love that the technology is becoming more and more popular.
Couple that with Vaporesso’s new GTM coils (the tank is compatible with their NRG-tank GT coils, too) and the innovative juice isolation structure (which separates the juice well from the coil, meaning “a fresh vape for every vape”) and you’ve got a very impressive tank that can run anywhere from 40 to 200 watts.
Freemax Fireluke Pro & Freemax Fireluke Mesh
These are actually completely different tanks, but they’re both part of the Fireluke series so we’ve combined them here.
The Fireluke Pro is the flag-bearer for the series, combining the biggest e-liquid capacity (4ml) with the highest available wattages (anywhere from 50 up to a massive 140 watts). It’s available in carbon fibre or resin finishes.
The Fireluke Mesh is one we mentioned before, when we talked about mesh coils. And, honestly, we just can’t go past that stainless steel version, which is one of the most unique looks on the market.
This sub-ohm tank combines its own mesh coils, which are available in different colours for each of the different coloured tanks, with a 3ml e-liquid capacity. Better yet, you only need to run this one at around 40-50 watts to create a decent cloud, which will no doubt increase your battery life, although you can go all the way to 90 watts if you’d prefer.
Uwell Valyrian
I’m saving the best for last, but remember that this is just my opinion.
Uwell are renowned for their impressive build quality, and their super high-wattage Valyrian tank is no different. Out of the box this will hold 5ml of e-liquid and run anywhere from 95 to 120 watts (Uwell don’t overestimate their coils, so there’s always extra wiggle-room at the top end for those who’d prefer more wattage).
Buy the separate 8ml replacement glass tube and you’ve got a real beast, though. This small moves makes the Valyrian a great option for an all-day vape.
Uwell also included something very different. A series of pins comes with the package, each of which – spiral, wave or unrestricted – changes the airflow that travels through the tank and gives you a different style of vape. This allows more customisation than we’re used to, especially with the single coil type (0.15 ohms) that’s available for this tank.
Uwell don’t release many products, but when they do, they get it right.
Uwell Crown 3
Okay, I’m cheating. This one came out in 2017, but a significant update this year makes it my favourite tank on the market.
Before we get to that, I’ve just got to say that I’ve been using the Uwell Crown 3 Tank since its release last year, and never once have I had a drop of leakage from the bottom airflow holes. If you’ve been vaping for a while, you’ll know that’s pretty crazy. That’s the main reason I’m a big proponent of the plug-and-pull coil system, which Uwell utilises here.
Everything else about this tank is great, too – the juice capacity is a generous 5ml, and top-filling is easy enough. While you have to unscrew the top cap to refill, which is more work than most of the other tanks on this list, it does make it feel a little bit more solid and less prone to degradation over time.
So, what was that big improvement?
Well, when the Crown 3 was originally released (and still, to this day) it came with the only two available coils: a 0.25 ohm (80-90 watts) and a 0.5 ohm (70-80 watts). The release of the Uwell Crown 3 Mini Tank later on brought out a brand new 0.4 ohm coil (55-65 watts), and that coil is compatible with the full-size tank.
That’s it. A new coil. While the 0.25 ohm and 0.5 ohm coils are great for cloud chasers, I personally felt they lacked the excellent flavour that made the original Uwell Crown tank such a mandatory purchase.
The 0.4 ohm coil changed all of that. Flavour has never been better. The Uwell Crown 3 is once again a mandatory purchase, and that’s hard to say in a marketplace stacked with options.
So, there we go. Six of the best. (Well, a few more than six.)
What do you think? Did we leave anything out? Leave us a comment below to let us know which of these is your favourite sub-ohm tank of 2018, or if you think there’s something even better on the market.
