Right now my setup is, istick 50w with an Alantis v2 tank with a .3coil. I absolutely love it! But there is just something that is cool about a good looking mech mod! I don't want to get into RBAs right now (maybe in the near future). So the big question is will my Atlantis tank work on a mech..... what would I need to chunk the same or bigger clouds I'm getting with my current setup?
Atlantis v2 tank on a mech?

The vapor production on a 0.3 ohm coil tops out at a setting >50W. If you could get that kind of power you would chuck bigger clouds.
You technically can use it on a mech mod. Not sure if it would be worth it: there are so many variables to consider. You need to understand how the mod works, how your coil fires, and how batteries play a role in power output. Plus battery safety.
I might be wrong, and i'm open to being corrected, but the power required to blast a 0.3 coil runs the battery down quick. On an unregulated mod you're going to be playing battery hot potato while trying to use up your tank (assuming you want to hit closer to the top end of your potential voltage). I think that's why it's more suited to RDAs.

Yes you can use your Atlantis 2 on a mech.
On a fully charged battery (4.2v) you will be vaping at 58.8 watts (less depending on voltage drop). As the battery drains your power will decrease. If you pull the battery to recharge when it's 3.6V your wattage will have decreased to 43.2 watts. A 0.3Ω coil will drain a battery fast.
The recommended wattage range for the 0.3Ω coil (per Aspire) is 70-80watts. If this holds true you won't get that on a mech. I'd use this setup on a high vv/vw mod.
More power = more vapor.

Just do not use a hybrid top mech or a hybrid connector. Your battery will short on it, and vent. There have been explosions.
Use a 30A battery like a Sony vtc4 and a mech with a regular top cap that has a 510 pin.

It's doable but i would advice against it, some of them read wrong (lower then 0.3)
And some of the prebuilt coils can be DoA. If do you check every coil on a ohm checker sure it would add safety.
But i personally prefer my own made coils in mechs, due i know they're working and what ohms they're at.
If the coil would be shorted, the battery would most likley vent right away in a meck.
All in all if you check the coils before you fire it, it would work. But if you just want to prime a coil and put it in and vape away, i'd suggest against it.
I've had way to many premade coils fail on me. (mainly kanger though)
And get good batteries such as vtc4/5.
And when you're owning a mech i suggest you to learn more about battery safety.
And every mech user should own a multimeter to check the batteriers for over/under voltages.
The user baditude got GREAT guides on batteries i suggest you to read those through.
I've no links atm but he's a well known user here with great bloggs.
Also to chuck realy big clouds on a mech you would need an RDA realy.

You're welcome, also check this link out. I found baditudes links here.

So........ with that being said, it looks like I'm better off sticking with a vv/vw mod. I've been looking at the Sigelei 100 watt plus because I could top out my .3 ohm coils with it (at 80 watts per Aspire). BUT then the are mods like the God mod pushing out something like 280 watts..... like I said earlier at so.e point I'll get into building my own coils, but is it worth buying something that extreme? What would you guy recommend to push the limits (sometimes) of my coils?
Sigelei 150W or another 150-200W mod. This leaves you room for upgrading and it seems that the consensus is sig 150 > sig 100. They're similar in price.
There are 3 components to consider: wattage (mod), resistance (atomizer), and amperage (battery).
Right now we're limited by the battery. It can be dangerous, strenuous, and taxing on a battery to fire a super low coil (e.g. <0.15 ohm).
You really have to know what you are doing and I don't think it's that common.
I would say, get comfortable with building your own coils in RDAs before going any further. You don't realy need a bazilion of watts to produce huge clouds.
It's all(mostly) about the build.
There's no need to go to the super sub-ohm territory which you should't go anywhere near before you've done your homework.
Anyway for the regulated ones 100-150w is plenty enough. Vaping anywhere higher is nearly impossible due the warmth (some do but well... its not enjoyable)
So my tip would be to try read up on coil building and get comfortable with it, if you want the huge clouds. A prebuilt coil can only get you so far. Yet it won't beat a well made coil in an RDA. So i think you're looking in the wrong end here. More power isn't always the best.
EDIT: You don't need a mech mod to build the coils for an RDA they work just as good if not even better on a regulated (more consistent & safer for a beginner)
As long as you keep it within the battery safety limits (a regulated won't fire an unsafe coil for example, a mech would and .... can hit the fan)
Very sound advice! Looks like I have some readi g up to do!I would say, get comfortable with building your own coils in RDAs before going any further. You don't realy need a bazilion of watts to produce huge clouds.

I have 3 Sigelei 100Ws. I'll never use more power than that so I'm perfectly fine with them. They are good, reliable mods for the price. Elev8 has them for $60 right now. Code 5off will make it $57 and free shipping.
