Atlantis coil life

[Noraj1067]

The guys at the bm store are all saying they're getting two weeks out of their coils. I'm lucky if I get a week. After a few days I notice a dramatic reduction in vapor production. Has anyone had the same problem? I'm also having a lot of juice buildup and burnt hits. I run around 15 watts on my Hana clone and us good quality juice. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm running out of money.

I know how you feel about running out of money, lol
I've been using the same coil over three weeks now and its still hitting awesome!
But I run it between 35-40 watts on my IPV3..This coil seems to like higher wattages, least its been that way with me...

The actual juice has a lot to do with it. Typically, the darker or sweeter a juice is the faster it gunks coils. Light and clear juices give you the best coil longevity.

Interesting..... I was using my Atlantis heads for about 5 days and they were raunchy. I was vaping at 12 watts with an 80vg juice. Any higher wattage and it wouldn't keep up.

That's weird..with the same 100% VG I use dripping my coils keep up just fine.. I see little bubbles and the juice level drop after every other hit..I don't know anybody that vapes a .5 sub ohm coil at 12 to15 watts..Aspire recommends 30 watts or more and it definitely works for me between 35-40 watts..it wicks fast and I get good cloudy flavorful hits..coil is three weeks old and still vaping like the day I installed it..try higher wattages and see if that works for you too..if not at least you tried what aspire recommends...screenshot is my sister vaping the Atlantis at 35 watts and lovin'it lol

Where are you hearing that Aspire recommends 30W or higher? They rated the coils for use between 20-30W.

From all over the web if you do a little research...

thick deep colored juices greatly reduce the life of coils. The more residue your juice contains, the more buildup you are going to get. and with the replaceable coils there is no way to dryburn them and clean them so if you like thick dark juices i suggest RDA's for those , keep to the non deep flavored ejuices for clearomizer type setups.

I get nine* solid days at 30 watts. I can't imagine the Atlantis coil performing well at all below 25 watts.

*nine, meaning I changed it out due to flavor drop off but before burnt hits.

Generally I vape nothing below 60VG/40PG.

i only got 2-3 days, sold the tank as changing $4 coils every 2 days is too costly

I asked where you heard that ASPIRE recommends 30W or higher, not Atlantis owners . . .

They don't recommend it. I was just on their support forum and they do not recommend taking these coils above 30 watts.

This thread right here is just one example.

Vaping at 12 watts? I think the coils will gunk up faster at that low wattage due to the residual juice never being fully burned off.

I have had 2 coils in rotation for 3 weeks. I have been using 6 and 3mg 100% vg juice with a dash of distilled water and a dash of 12mg juice with higher pg mixed in.

Today at 3 weeks I have finally got a coil giving me dry hits that take too many primer puffs to resolve. That coil is going into my rebuild container.

Have had mine for exactly a week and the coil is just as good as day one.

Aspire recommends 20-30W for power and replacing the coil after Fifty refills (100ml).

That last sounds a bit optimistic to me.

They do not recommend cleaning or dry burning.

Recommended or not I'm smart enough to know my Atlantis likes higher wattages ..that said I've been using the same coil now for almost three weeks vaping 6mls a day at 35 watts..no dry hits, no burnt hits, and can't ask anything more from my coil as I'm pleasantly surprised myself..
This is a sub ohm coil that really shines at 4.1v, about 35w
20w is only 3v, and 12w is ridiculously way too low at 2v..
If any of you guys use a mech for dripping a fully charged batt
is 4.2v, and blows clouds galore on a .5 ohm build, just like the .5 ohm coil in the Atlantis..

The 10c coil & wick in this is 11 months old (now you know where to put the Atlantis)

Yup, that's why the Nemesis was one of the most popular mechanical mods ever made.
