Actually, I was a lung hitter till I put the 1.8 coil in. Now I don't want to lung hit anymore. This thing is sweet. Although I just read someone swapped the base of the coil with an Atlantis II coil base, they said it opened up the airflow nicely. I can't wait to get home and try it.

I got mine today. Cleaned it all out with alcohol, assembled it with .4 ohm coil, got some juice, filed it 1/3rd the way. The juice leaked right out thru the vent holes. That is a real joke! I took it apart made sure everything was tight, found nothing loose. Filled it again it leaked but not as bad. I turned the top from fill to vape and the leak stopped. WTF???? this is what i found on the Aspire forum...
if users don't use the tank for several hours or overnight,they can let the tank stand up,then let the arrow indicator point to “drip” position to prevent the e-juice from entering into the coil,If we don't use the tank,the e-juice inside the coil will not be atomized,however the e-juice still enter into the coil,if so much e-juice inside the coil,the leaking problem will happen,which is common happen to all other brand tanks. So,we suggest that if we don't use the tank,we can let the tank stand up and let the arrow indicator point to “drip” position to prevent the e-juice from entering into the coil.
I finally got it to stop leaking. .4ohm coil installed needs at least 32 watts to work ok 35 watts was better 40 watts omg!. I am afraid to leave it on my mod so will be taking it off when not using it till the world figures out the leaking problem.

I've had no overnight leaking issues with the 1.8ohm coil. But I can very easily believe that other leaking or coil flooding issues can be eliminated or at least severely reduced by finding the right wattage. Pretty sure that the stated wattages Aspire chose to go with are on the low side, and people will generally be better off exceeding them.
Anyone tried these tanks yet with the Atlantis TC Ni200 coils (by vaporshark)?
I want to buy this tank, but lack of TC coils especially designed for it and the leaking issue are holding me back...:-(

I've been using the VS Ni200 Coils for 3 days. No problem at all. Using 70VG/30PG Juice.
Doh, my triton & sigelei 75w took a tumble from my desk to the floor. Nothing changed with the sigelei, and the triton wasn't destroyed, but now the movement of the top part to switch between vape and fill mode is nowhere near as smooth as it was before.
I also conducted a coil flooding experiment, using 1.8ohm coil as I usually do. I bought a juice from a local store that has a much higher PG ratio than the juices I normally make or buy. It flooded straight away, even with minimal airflow settings and 20 watts. Switched back to my regular juice and the problem went away. I reckon I'll be able to avoid flooding with this and prior knowledge, although if it ever happens at least I can switch to fill mode and take some hits in order to start to desaturate the coil.

I've also been using the VS Atlantis nickel coils on the Triton and it works great. Have gone through 8 tanks of juice since Sunday and not a single leak. Currently vaping max VG juice in it.
I just tried one of the new 1.8 coils on my Atlantis and it's pretty nice. I'm also using my first 70/30 higher VG liquid on it (Space Jam has a new Cherry Limeade made High VG) and it's really clear as others have said, that this is how these coils were intended to be used.
The difference in more VG has made for zero extra liquid. In fact, I have a clear drip tip that I always use, and on the Triton with 50/50 juice it's like a rain forest inside. But on this setup- not even a drop. I'll double check on my Triton soon, but I don't think the tank is the issue with flooding and gurgling. Just the new coils being made with high VG in mind.
I'm sorta disappointed that I'll have to figure out a way to convert all of my 50/50 juices for it.

I only vape 50/50, I don't like high VG juice, so hoping using the RTA section doesn't leak like the coils using 50/50 juice, not going to change my ratio for a tank.
Yeah I'm realizing right now that I don't like high VG either...just too thick. I'm hoping something like 60/40 will do the trick, but I'm not going to change my whole routine just for Aspire.
I have the rebuildable head ordered with the triton, so I am sure I will be able to make it work without leaking, just might take some playing with the amount of cotton to get it right.
Well, this tank is turning out to be really disappointing. The more I use it, the less I like it. When it works it's amazing, but I am still struggling with it most of the time. There are a string of threads about leaking/flooding/spitting/gurgling on the aspire forums and most of them are being closed down...yay for covering up the problems.
If anyone is up for a not-so quick read, their rep Tina posted the below in response to the issues. In short, they're chalking it up to user error and the "solutions" are crazy. If we have to clean the whole unit and coil after 2 tanks...w.t.f is the point of having it be top-fill:
"Dear All
it is true that the coils holes don't match up with the internal part of the tank,we have a special design that there is gap between the coils holes and the internal part of the tank,the wick holes don't be covered in fact.
When the first customer complaint the leaking problem,our workers and I both did test for the triton tanks in person(in total:20 people attended to this test,we did as the user manual and below precautions,two weeks passed away,we don't meet the leaking problem until now)
here are some precautions from our engineer for your reference.
while vaping,users open the airflow hole on the drip tip,the warm vapor meet the cool air from the airflow hole on the drip tip,some vapor condensation(looks like e-juice) may happen on the Top Fill area of the the unit,so,after one or two tank of e-juice working out,users need clean the drip tip and top fill area with q-tip or clean paper.What's more,after refilling,please make sure that there is on e-juice stay enter into the center top or there is no e-juice stay on the top fill area,after refill,please use a clean paper to clean out the e-juice on the top fill area
last,if users don't use the tank for several hours or overnight,they can let the tank stand up,then let the arrow indicator point to “drip” position to prevent the e-juice from entering into the coil,If we don't use the tank,the e-juice inside the coil will not be atomized,however the e-juice still enter into the coil,if so much e-juice inside the coil,the leaking problem will happen,which is common happen to all other brand tanks.
So,we suggest that if we don't use the tank,we can let the tank stand up and let the arrow indicator point to “drip” position to prevent the e-juice from entering into the coil.What's more.regular cleaning is very important,after one or two tanks of e-juice working out,before refilling,we not only need clean the drip tip and the top filling area,but also,we need clean the base hardware with q-tip or clean paper.
At last , regular checking is also very important,please check if the coil looses from the base hardware,please make sure the coil is screwed to the base hardware tightly,the base hardware screwed to the tank tightly.otherwise the e-juice will leak out from airflow hole on the bottom or from the battery connector pin.
We are sorry for the inconvenience you have met.If any problem,please feel free to contact our service:service@aspirecig.com.
Please tell them the details about your problem:
what is the resistance of coil did you use have the leaking problem?
Where it is leaking?
What wattage did you use?
What is the vg/pg of your e-juice?
Did it leaking while you use the tank or did it leaking when you let it stand up unused?
A picture for the security code of your product?
A picture for the drip tip
our service will check with our chief engineer for your problems one by one.

After 10 days of use I have the opposite experience - the more I use it the less problems I have and the more I love it.
The problem for Aspire is that even if its possible to get brilliant results with this tank, a mass market product that requires such careful use by users is going to cause big problems and reputation damage.
I fear that part of the problem is actually down to them listening to users in the past. People complaining about coils not wicking quickly enough when using high watts or high VG. They fixed that problem but probably created a bigger one.

I fear part of the problem is the end users. Can't please everybody.
I've had mine for about a week. My wife was in the hospital for 3 days and each one I left the tank in the car standing upright for 8-10 hours in 80+ degree heat. It never leaked a drop. The juice was 70/30 vg/pg. I'm really happy with it.
As a mouth-to-lung / flavour chaser I am totally impressed with Triton (@1.8 ohm, PG20/VG80, 17W). Very well made, no leaking or any other issues to report. Great saturated vape.
A guy I work with, came in with the triton today, he normally sub ohms, but I told him try the 1.8ohm coil 1st, I must say we was both really impressed, he had the 1.8ohm coil up to 25watts and was blowing clouds, couldn't believe it was a 1.8ohm coil. I did warn him of reports of leaking, but so far it hasn't leaked at all, and he is using 50/50 juice.
I'm using 60/40 Vg/Pg and my Triton leaked like a sieve with the .4 ohm coil. I switched to the 1.8 ohm and I have been vaping all day with no issues. It is a good tank with the 1.8 ohm coil but you really have to fiddle with it before you find just what works. I did pick up a regular .5 ohm Atlantis Coil and I will try that when the 1.8 dies, I have heard that they don't leak as much.
So after some testing today I've established that all 50/50 juices gurgle, spit, or flood the 1.8 coils on both of my Triton's (don't ask me why I bought 2.) I've tried various combos of batteries, drip tips and juices that are all 50/50.
But today I took one of the 1.8 coils from the Triton over to the Atlantis one with 50/50 and it's like night and day. Same juice, coil and everything- just changed tanks. It appears that the coils aren't the problem alone, but something about the tank and juice. It's just simply over saturated.
Anyway, if anyone is having issues like me, this will give your Atlantis new life at least.

The guys at the local B&M broke my Triton down and compared with a new one looking for missing gaskets etc and could find no problems. They recommended that I close the airflow and set to fill when not in use and to close the airflow and vape any extra juice out of the coil head. It seems like the coil heads are over saturating. I haven't had any leaks on the 1.8 ohm coil so far but I am using the Triton on my water resistant Invader Mini as I didn't want to risk juice dripping into my new Sig 75
