Aspire official statement on Atlantis coils material

[Katya]

True story that.

A haiku, eh?

Goodnight, DB.

"db? This is one of your better angels again. I know a whole slew of jokes and one-liners are going through your head, but this is a classy woman who deserves better. Write her a poem or something."

Meagan, because it's been such an inspiring evening and it's been awhile since I baked a truly awkward cake, enjoy the haiku I wrote just for you:

she don't like vaccines
but she loved penicillin
when it hurt to pee

Guessing this is now even more awkward than the time Katya told me she was a working girl, so I told her while I didn't judge I wasn't paying for the hug, she didn't get that I was intentionally misinterpreting the term working girl for comedic effect, and I got an offended earful.

db, you certainly are the sweet talker. First, you tell me you're prettier than me, now you write me a haiku about VD. I would be offended if I wasn't such a weirdo and slightly turned on right now. I like what you're putting down.

Haha... you're such a nerd

Nicee!! I'm hoping I can find a 5-pack or 2 of COTTON Atlantis coils for about $18 or less, by the time I run out of this last pack of regular (ceramic) coils..
Good move Aspire

Just received word back from KP that they are indeed Aspire Cotton Coils Yay! I will still most likely be dissecting the first one but I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger....I'm still probably going to get the Melo when it comes out though. Not happy about paying $21+ for coils...

Hi Meagan,

The cotton coils are indeed from Aspire, you can check them by scratching the backside of them and verifying their authenticity on the aspire website.

Thanks,
Dustin

Delta II review

Good catch mate, thanks for passing that on in a big way as I'm suuuuuper behind my youtubes (and to pbusardo for catching it). Will send off an email, but yeah that looks identical to the Atlantis material, which blows in a big way. I think I'll make a new thread so people can track it and we can point others towards it.

yup
hes waiting on confirmation on what the material is but the wick should not be able to break apart/disintegrate between the fingers like that

So this is interesting, I was just looking at the Melo and realized that eLeaf describes it as Organic Cotton and Glass Fiber Cotton on the site. The vendors that have it for pre-order are all listing the coil as 100% organic cotton.

Someone on Reddit emailed eLeaf and received this response:

Dear friend, Thanks for your email. In fact, we have made a mistake in the description of the coil. This is the fiber cotton, not glass fiber cotton. Hope you can understand and if any problems feel free to contact us. Have a nice day. Best wishes! Wendy Ismoka service

Interesting to note, the website has not been corrected even though this email is from a month ago....the plot thickens...


MELO Atomizer

Soooooooooooooooo....

Glass fiber cotton in Melo coils also?

And what about those wonderful Eleaf GS Air coils? I just got one and I love it. But I can't take a coil head apart--it seems to be press fitted so tight that it won't budge.

Eleaf iSmoka is Joyetech's sister company/subsidiary/whatever... Joyetech e-grip's CS coils are almost identical to GS coils and are, if fact, interchangeable.

Grrrrr...

I have a thread opened here:

I was surprised to see that too.

What is going on with these manufacturers? You would think after the controversy with Aspire that they would be more forthcoming with what was used in their coils - they know we (or someone) is going to pull them apart eventually. If they want to use something funky, fine, but TELL us. That's my biggest pet peeve. That's what I was afraid of with BT. I don't want to be afraid of it with every new coil / tank that comes onto the market now too and atm, it sure is beginning to feel that way.

Well, if db is correct, Glass Fiber is just how they refer to silica. That still doesn't explain how the coils can be 100% organic cotton and use silica as well. Now, if that is the case and it is a combination of Silica and Cotton that's fine, why not just state that then. Unless it really was just a typo, and they did mean fiber cotton or cotton fiber, you would think they'd update the website with the correct specs by now though. I really don't know what to think about all this, deliberate misinformation or just a case of mistranslation?

I should have my new Atlantis Coils on Saturday and I will be promptly dissecting one to settle this part of the debate. I will post pics here as well so we can all see what's going on.

 

[Katya]

There's good silica (amorphous, used widely as a wicking material in almost all commercially made atomizers) and bad silica (crystalline). I have no problem whatsoever with amorphous silica wicks. I want to know what kind of silica Aspire and now Joyetech are using.

Have the coils with the bigger holes been confirmed to have cotton?

Nope, I've heard that too and I don't know where it's coming from except that maybe people heard something about cotton, saw the changes in the holes and are conflating the two. My source for this is things like this:

Aspire Support: •View topic - Different revisions of BVC coils?

That's one of the times they said they were implimenting the change in the factory, but there are other posts of people asking about the new holes before... so stock of BVCs with larger holes definitely predates the switch to cotton as that's just starting to trickle out. The larger holes appear to be a design change to help alleviate dry hits, etc.

I just read a report on another forum that they recieved new coils from Kidney Puncher and they were 100% cotton. None of the crumbly stuff. You might want to check there and see if they confirmed that.

"We are now doing running charging." ????

Any idea what that means?

That is what I was thinking. Just got a new pack with the bigger holes. Think I'm going to tear one down this weekend, see what's in there.....
