HI @semey and welcome to the forum. I would suggest a larger mod which will put out more watts for the Atlantis 2. You can see the spec sheet for the Atlantis 2 coils here: Aspire - Aspire Atlantis 2

The iStick 40 watt would be under powered for all the Atlantis 2 coils. The recommended wattage for the 1.0 ohm coils are 40 to 50 watts, and for the .3 ohm coil 70 to 80 watts.

As an Atlantic v1 user (they use the same coil, which is the cloud producing part) I can say it is a sufficient tank and that mod could handle the tank although I would look at something a little beefier in wattage, something that maxes around 100+ for experimentation. In addition to the coil you use, part of it comes down to your wattage, part of it comes down to your juice. I tend to use juice that is heavier on the VG (vegetable glycerin) and less on the PG (Proplyene Glycol) for taste, but higher concentrations of PG will get you bigger clouds. The recommended wattage for the Atlantis v2 is going to vary by the resistance on the coil you get; before I was using TC coils, the standard coil I would use was either the .5ohm which I ran at ~20w, or the 1ohm, which I ran ~50w. You can run them as high as 30w+ on the standard .5ohm coil but you take a greater chance of getting dry hits. What I would recommend is getting the nickle TC (temperature control) coils, which are .15ohm, for a more consistent hit, but some would also say otherwise.

Like the gentlemen who posted above, depending on your choice of coil will depend on the requirements for your mod.

One thing that no one really told me, but I kind of assumed, is that if you haven't vaped and are just getting into it to buy yourself a few extra coils; you will probably go through a couple coils if you make any mistakes when you start vaping, and it's nice to have a couple extra if you do. On TC vaping I go through a 1 coil ~2-3 weeks, but when I was on straight power it could range between 1 week - 2 weeks but rarely beyond... I found that I was more prone to inconsistent hits using straight wattage.

@Sir2fyablyNutz , thank you very much for your reply.
Can you suggest a mod in the same price range as istick 40? (could be 15-25$ more expensive). Ive just heard that the atlantis a good tank for cloud chasing and flavor so I want a mod which will fit to it well.

thank you for the provided info. when Im smoking hookah, I dont like dry hit, so if I dont want a dry hit while vaping I need to use nickle TC coil which will not work with istick 40? right?

To use a Ni (Nickel) coil you will need a mod that also allows temp control. The 40 w iStick does have temp control but I have no idea if it will have enough power for the Ni coil (.15 ohm) of the Atlantis 2. There are dozens of temperature control mods out now, and I would suggest a stronger one.

in this case im thinking about Pioneer4You IPV D3 80W, will it work?

I couldn't answer that because I've not had any experience buying used. Personally I would buy an Atlantis or Cletio brand new because of the extras you get; the Atlantis' come with an extra pyrex glass sleeve and stock atomizers which doesn't seem like much, but it's kind of like Christmas with the little extras you get. The mod would be a different story though; it's just a battery pack and regulator chip, so as long as the person before didn't abuse it, it should be fine, but you have to take the sellers word for it. If I were to buy used, I'd probably come to a place like this forum and see if they have a buy/trade forum. I'm new here, so I don't even know if ECF has that!

PS
I buy replacement parts direct from Aspire, but they ship from China direct so it takes 1-2 weeks. The glass replacement sleeves are like $5+ shipping and I don't know of many places that sell the replacement parts anymore. The only negative thing I could say about the Atlantis is the base is kind of wonky after a few drops... Not that you should ever drop your setup/rig, but life does happen. That is how I've ended up with 4 complete builds of the Atlantis v1.

I was thinking about new on ebay but you gave me an idea to try to buy a used mode and new tank!

Another mod you could look at is the Wismec Reuleaux RX200 I personally own this and it works amazing. It also uses 3 batteries so the life is terrific. ALso before heading off into building TC coils you really need to educate yourself. Even the most experienced of vapers havent totally figured out how these work and neither has the companies building the mods. Not saying for you to not build TC coils, I am just saying that for a newer builder it may be more complicated than you think.
