Hi - you'll probably find this helpful: Baditude’s Blog: Is it a carto? atty? clearo?
First, a thanks to Ocelot for linking my blog article on the more common juice delivery devices.
Cartotanks have been around for a couple of years now without many variations other than parts or materials used. The tube material can be either clear plastic (polycarbonate), frosted plastic (polypropylene), pyrex or quartz glass, or metal. The end cap material can be acrylic, delrin, or metal. Some tanks have a juice fill hole either in the top cap or in the tube. All cartotanks use a cartomizer with holes which allows juice from the tank to enter the cartomizer while vaping.
The AMP tank is a new tank system which uses a dripping atomizer in place of the cartomizer in a tank. It is in its first version, and it is often wise to wait for expected improvements to made with future versions before purchasing items unless you are a gadget lover that likes to buy the first new thing out on the market. I've heard both good and bad things about the AMP tank. There are some threads on the AMP tank here on the forum in the tank sub-forum if you seek more info.
Theoretically vaping on an atomizer is the purest form of juice delivery and flavor production. No wicking materials to affect the flow of juice to the heating coil or alter the flavor of the juice. The main con of using an atomizer is the ritual required to drip a few drops of juice, vape it a few times, and add a few more drops, vape some more. It's a ritual, and the constant activity of dripping frequently can be a pain in certain situations, such as driving and vaping.
so if you we're to use the amp tank or other atomizer tanks you would have to keep dripping still? I know an atty by itself requires dripping. but if its in a tank, what's the purpose of having it filled with liquid if You have to continue dripping?
I'm so confused

The in tank atomizer is a fairly new addition to the vaping community. The biggest difference between a cartomizer and an atomizer is the cartomizer has filler material to feed the wick and coil.
The Amp Tank uses a 510 atomizer inside a tank filled with juice. When working properly when you take a puff the vacuum created draws enough juice in through the bottom of the atomizer for the next puff. From the majority of reviews it is very fussy about working and leaks a good bit through the breather hole.
The Killer 705 is an in tank atomizer that is rebuildable and will fit in 95% of the tanks out there. Currently I am using 2 of them and they perform very well. They can also be used as a dripping atomizer without a tank.
The Diver is another in tank rebuildable that can be used in any 35mm length carto tank, I just received one in today's vape mail and haven't set it up yet but reports are good on it as well.
For folks who do not want to make the large investment in the above there is the Raven from Got Vapes. It is a disposable in tank atomizer and is fairly cheap, 3 bucks or so. I have been vaping 3 of them pretty hard for the past few days and the vapor production and flavor are excellent. As you can see there is no filler and it has two feeder slots for the juuice to feed the wick and coil. I am pretty impressed with these.
There are a few other tank atomizers such as the Vela Latina but they are not readily available.

thanks guys. I would love to step into this new world. at least it's new to me, but anywho I would like to start messing with attys and atty tanks. I'm getting tired of the carto tank I have. what are the components in the atomizer and what's their significance ?
The only real difference between a 510 cartomizer and 510 atomizer is the filler material in the cartomizer. It is that filler which seems to mute flavors and there is a wrap over the coils that can burn when dry.
I just got an octopus RDA atomizer and my cartotanks have not been in use for a week. I'm loving this little atty!
