So after a few seconds of pressing down on the button, i will get hot e liquid on my lips that feels like little sparks, very unpleasant. Wondering what im doing wrong. Iv got an aspire elite kit, usin the 1 ohm atomizer and 20 watts. Issue doesnt happen with 15- watts but i dont really get much smoke either.

Sounds like you got liquid in your chimney. Take it apart and blow out the mouth piece and tube it connects to. I'm not familiar with that exact tank but they all have a similar design.
Disregarding wire gauge and coil count (variables which has a substantial effect on coil radiant temperature)... the Ohm's law parity value wattage for a 1.0Ω resistance at 4.2v is 17.7 watts.
At that wattage, and assuming a single coil build... if the wire used is 28 gauge or thinner, the heat flux (coil radiant heat value) is 320 mW/mm² or more. If the wire gauge is 27 or thicker, the HF is 226 mW/mm² or less.
Although exceeding 300 mW/mm² is not uncommon, randomly observed samples would indicate that most clearo type tank users using "above ohm" resistance... will run in the 150 to 250 mW/mm² (moderate temperatures) range.
What all that means is... 18 watts or less is probably a better way to go... that or get a screened or baffled drip tip.
Given the atlantis heads are built for large amount/fast wicking you may try moving up to the next larger airhole, the tighter the airflow/draw the more vacuum that's generated with each puff and therefore more juice drawn into the coil, the coil could be slightly flooding causing excess spitback.
The atlantis also has a pretty large bore drip-tip, so you could always consider replacing the drip-tip on the tank to one with a smaller bore/longer length, or even a baffled (mentioned above) to help reduce the spitback.
It also could be condensation buildup in the chimney, as mentioned above.
Best of luck!
It's not smoke, but vapor.
Agree with the above comments. Power is likely set too high for the coil. Turn it down.
Take slower gentler longer draws. Don't puff too hard.
So with 15 watts and slower, gentler inhales i get more throat hit surprisingly, less dense/large clouds unsurprisingly, and the little pops of hot liquid still happen, although a bit less, leading me to believe its moisture in the chimney. Does this happen when you refill the tank and get some in the middle bit? Or is it moisture from continuous use
No way to prevent condensation that I'm aware of. It's a common and natural phenomenon.
You could use a drip tip which is longer or has a baffle design to catch the condensation before it reaches your mouth:
Thought i had this under control, but i keep getting this problem, even when i start a vape session and there is no condensation, am i putting the e liquid in the wrong places? Is it leaking somewhere? Always happens when my vape starts to gurgle.
this happens for me when my coils are about to die. Blowing into the clearomizer ejects a bit of juice out of the air hole and it hits good for another 30 pulls or so.
A little crackle & pop from an atty simply means that it's working right. So it's a good thing, it's just not suppose to hit your mouth.
Back in the day we had a simple solution for this.
However in todays world most don't even know what an atomizer bridge even is, let alone have one to use.
The U shaped metal piece
See how the bridge would prevent the spiting from getting up to your mouth when using an old style atty?

That sounds strange. It's very unusual nowadays to not have interchangeable mouthpiece
Wait, I'm a bit confused. The Aspire eLite kit is the big ol' CF Maxxx guy with the Atlantis Mega right?
Is that even variable wattage/voltage?
And the Atlantis most definitely has a removable drip tip/mouthpiece.

Well they both happen from time to time, the spittingg one alot more often, just trying to work out whats causing it. I just blew out the airhole, dried everything up around the airholes and it seemed to help a bit, nothing ever completely fixes it though
If you want to vape at high wattage I'd say the best thing to do is just get used to it, I get spit back on my tongue all the time but that's because I run stupid low builds and use chuff style drip tips on my rdas. Otherwise, just turn your wattage down a bit and it wont happen as often.
