The Atlantis is pretty much the best you can get in terms of vapor production without switching to an RTA, RDA, etc. Keep in mind that those will differ in vapor production and flavor depending on how you build it and wick it, as well as the composition of the juice you are using. If you want to take the time to learn about RTAs and how to properly build and maintain them, I would recommend this option strongly. If you want to go this route, I would recommend the Lemo as a solid RTA to start with. As for RDAs, there are so many and there are pros and cons for each. Personally, I would just pick up a solid, well-rounded RDA to begin with, such as a TOBH clone or a Mutation X, although this is completely up to you. Do some research first.
And make sure you are using the appropriate mod/battery for whatever you choose.
I prefer drippers myself, but some of my friends use RTAs. I have had personal experience with the Lemo, as well as some KayFun variants, and I really like the Lemo overall. Look up some reviews and see which one sounds like the best fit - it is likely that they all have their pros and cons.
I have experience in Lemos, and I didn't ;ike it compared to my Goblin. Far superior IMHO.
What about the Kanger SubTank? It's got 0.5 ohm coils, the mini and larger have the rebuildable coil heads. You could use either the rebuildables, or the replaceables. It has some pretty good vapor production, and some great flavor.
I happen to be in love with my Subtanks. I have about 6 of them, because I'm a tool like that. RBA section is nice, but the coils are great and consistent. I find the flavour great as well.
I just got a Lemo 2.......best RTA I've owned by far. I like the flavor and cloud production, build deck, juice flow, top fill, air flow and build quality. Best available at the moment 
The Lemo 2 is a real PITA compared to the Squape R. The Squape R is by far the easiest RTA I've ever had the pleasure to work with. You almost have to try to get something wrong, unlike the picky Lemo that is prone to leaking and dry hits if you get the wicking wrong and has that finicky deck that makes aligning and securing your coils a circus like balancing act. With the Squape R you just set the rod or screw your coil is wrapped around into the alignment groove in the deck, wrap the leads around the screws and tighten them. Literally 30 seconds and the coil is perfectly aligned and at the perfect height over the air hole every single time.
Wicking is almost impossible to get wrong. Run your wick through the coils and along the alignment groove, trim it flush with the edge of the deck, fluff it, and you're done. Works great every single time.
Align and secure your coil
Insert, trim, and fluff your wick
Wet with juice and you're done.
Plus the Squape R has easily swappable decks to allow you to easily produce different kinds of builds. Like dripping atomizers but want a tank, use the B deck and the deck works just like an RDA with the wicks resting in a pool of juice. Want a dual coil build, use the D deck and you've got alignment grooves for your two coils and an air hole under each one. Want to use a high VG juice, use the W deck and you've got nice wide juice channels for your thick juice. Want to use a tiny coil and silica wick for a tight draw mouth to lung hitter, use the standard S deck. Like that setup but want a bit more wicking, use the curved deck. Airflow adjustments from pinhole tight to easy straight lung hits with just a twist of the ring that clicks into place with each setting.
And if you're on a budget, EHPro makes an excellent clone that comes with the standard, curved, and wide decks that can be found for just $35-$40. Just a couple of dollars more than the Lemo 2.
The ONLY advantage the Lemo 2 has over it is the top filling hole, but the Squape R does let you remove the deck without emptying the tank and refilling is just as easy as an Aspire Nautilus.

I can comment on the Goblin. It' really good. Tons and tons of air, but you can close it down to intensify the flavor. I have found that the flavor drops off quite a bit when using the longer chimney section, so I just keep it in it's shorter configuration. Was a bit difficulty to build on at first, but if you keep your coils close to the center and use very short tails when wicking it works like a champ.

To me no RTA or RBA is worth a hundred fifty bucks.

Squape R decks.
D and B decks:
Wide deck:
Standard Deck
I don't know anyone who uses the curved deck.

What is the Squape R airflow comparable to wide open? I mainly use Orchids, but I have used a Lemo, Taifun, and KFL.
IMO, the Subtank and the Atlantis are pretty much equal. I do prefer the Atlantis to the Subtank though. The Subtank feels like it hits harder and it vapes much hotter. With 0.5 ohm coils in both, I don't run the Subtank higher than 22-23 watts otherwise the vape is just too warm and the juice starts to taste burnt when I chain vape. With the Atlantis, I run it around 32 watts and the vape is nice and cool.
I currently vape a 10PG/90VG juice in the Atlantis and it produces a ton of vapor.
I have an ipv mini 2 70w with a kanger subtank mini. I had a question as to why when it's been sitting for a few minutes, I get "hot vapor" and I look and my .5ohm coil reads at .9 or higher. Go to hit it again and it reads .1 higher than the .5 that is in there. Any help would be great.
I still love my delta II in terms of flavor and vapor production, but it really shines at 40-50w. Without going to something bigger then 30w I'd say you're where you need to be. The Artic Sub ohm is a nice deal if you manage to find the dual coil heads (mind you, you should be firing it at 50w or above to run properly) . This limit on options of increasing anything across the board just comes to a mix of power and willingness to upgrade. :3
