Anatomy of a tank
In technical terms, the tank itself is the cylinder which you fill with e-liquid when you’re vaping. However, the word tank is often used interchangeably with whole e-cig kits, including the chamber, mouthpiece, coil, wick and battery.
You can get rebuildable tank atomizers (also known as an RTAs), which are best for people who want to manually wick their coils by placing fresh cotton into new coils which are often self-built by the user. The tank then gradually releases e-liquid onto the cotton. Cartomizer tanks absorb e-liquid through polyfill, so they hold more liquid and give longer vapes than some other e-cigarette types, and they’re particularly good for people who have everyday e-liquid flavours that they don’t change often. Clearomizer tanks have a clear, large chamber for e-liquid, have a long lifespan, and have short wicks for intense flavour delivery.
For the most part, though, when vapers talk about their tank they talk about clearomizers.
