found the problem. only the top wicking hole peaks above the rim on the base of the atlantis, while the bottom ones are covered by the recessed threading, choking the coil. looks like these coils will not work in the atlantis or at least not with 60/40 juice. this sux, looks like $10 wasted.

EDIT....I refuse to lose money. this is my fix. i used flush cutters and a jewelers file to file and cut away some of the gold plated brass to expose two of the juice holes. i see now why these coils are so popular. sooooo smooth........what a vape!

Thing is, I don't think GrimmGreen should have started the rumor WITHOUT either having backup for it OR stating the name of the company doing the testing. Had I known it was Vapor Shark - knowing that they do A LOT of independent testing - I might have heeded the warnings. As it was, I thought it was likely sour grapes from Guo (makes of the Altus), or Freemax (makers of the Scylla), or Gigue (makers of the Dolphin), or any number of other "me too" companies on coming to market with their own ceramic coils.

I love this mod. I've had it for almost 3 weeks. I've recently started to get a burnt taste though. I keep it on 35.0watts and its at 600 degrees F, and it asked me about 3 times if it was a new atomizer (And it wasn't) . I put in the 2nd coil that came with the kit, and I let it sit for a few minutes like it says to, it didn't ask me if it was a new atomizer either. After I hit my vape with the new coil it tasted like straight fire.
No they are both the kanthal . The new one isn't burning anymore. I'll try cleaning my original one though. thanks!
You are using that Target Mod with a Kanthal cCell in Temp Mode? You said both cCells are Kanthal. The Target Mod is supposed to switch out of TC Mode into VW Mode with a non-TC coil. If you are using the Target Mod with a Kanthal cCell in TC Mode, then there is something very wrong with your Target Mod.

What Ohms is it reading. The Kanthal cCell is 0.9Ω, and the Ni200 cCell is 0.2Ω.

And 600°F is the Max Temp, which could burn it out quickly.

Phil also commented on this today, 2nd posting down: http://www.tasteyourjuice.com/wordpress/

Good news indeed, but this whole saga is strange. I get the feeling from what they wrote to Phil that VaporShark is going to keep testing.

I hope they give more context on what caused them to get worried with initial results etc. But who knows, maybe it was them just not understanding and jumping to a conclusion too soon.

Also, am I the only one annoyed that folks can't spell or pronounce VapOresso correctly?!? Grimmgreen and a few others constantly spell and call it the Vapresso...

You want annoying? I got annoying!

A friend of mind claims she's smoking oil out of a Hercules tank on a Vapresso mod.

As soon as we create something idiot-proof, Mother Nature will create a better idiot.

Us smart people cannot win!

I may be wrong, too. I just assumed as long as I don't go over what I set the wattage mode for when it's in TC mode it would be okay. It never gets hot but it responds a whole lot better in wattage mode than it does in TC. I don't get any funky taste from it... I better go do some research. I don't wanna grow a third eye! :)

Nickel does not behave like Kanthal, there is a large difference in resistance, with nickel wire the resistance rises dramatically when heated and you run a risk of vaping some very objectionable stuff if you overheat nickel.
