Even though I believe every vaper is different, I don't think at 7-11W he was a good candidate for an Atlantis. Perhaps he was oversold by a shop owner, bought into the hype/advertising, or similar?
Personally, I went to my local shop and stated my issues with my old aerotank to the owner: too hard to draw and not a hot enough vape. I also said I wanted the best adjustable airflow tank he had that had a nice warm/hot throat hit when needed. Armed with those things he pointed me to the Atlantis and I've been a happy vaper since! If I had stuck it out with the aerotank Id be back on cigs by now because I hated the draw, it was like trying to suck a thick frozen milkshake thru a pinched straw!
I too generally fall at between 25-30W as well using the .5ohm coils. Some eliquids I'll take down to 20 and others I like as high as 35, but I average 25-30 for most flavs!
I have the Melo tank i run it at 23 watts its smooth as can be, it pops and cracks but no liquid spitting i use max VG.
I put in some Cosmic Fog 50/50 mix still nice and smooth no hot liquid spitting.

I've been running my Melo coil at 20 watts and it's doing great. The only time I notice a bit of spit back is when the tank sits for a while and gets cold (this weather isn't helping). After another vape when it's warmed up it's fine and the popping is reduced to a faint crackle.
Now I wants some Rice Crispies.
Well, the liqua didnt spit that violence in my atlantis coil. On my rewicked atlantis coil, there's almost never a spitback.
I used to use my atlantis on 20-30 watts, but I find my sweet-not-to-hot and not-to-thick vape on 7-10watts. 20-30w I use only if I want to play around with the vapor.
Am I being oversold by doing that?
I dont think so. I love the way I can fool around on 20-30w. But I just dont use it on daily vape.
Anyhow, I buy Atlantis because I get only that suggestion from a friend. I was green and dont even realized that vaping will be my way of life. Never regretted for having an atlantis, and Im happy with it.
The Melo coils I try simply because its available, cheaper, and my online vape shop runs out of Atlantis coils last week.
The spitback also happened to my 2nd Melo coil. I change it today afternoon because I received my Nicquid Southern Freeze, and I want to have a full taste of it. By the way, the nicquid taste great. It's like finding a heaven after a week of hell gettin stuck with Feel life.
I managed to buy a narrower bore drip tip, and it helps alot saving my tongue from those spitting hot balls.
Yes, the worst spitback always happened after my atlantis sits for hours or so (and be cooled)
The rest will not be as violent as before, except the crackle and popped sound.
I rewick my used Melo coil with MUJI organic cotton just now, and will try to use it anytime tomorrow, or after my coils need to be changed.
Will the coil work the other way around? I dont know the answer, but not because Im not a native english speaker. I simply dont have Melo tank to try Atlantis coil on it.
By the way, priming time on Melo coils seems way faster than Atlantis coil. After 5-10 minutes the coil will be ready to use. I'm guessing this is because of the juice channel is lower with the melo.
My atlantis coil will need a forever 1-2 hrs prime. I know not everyone have this problems, but it happened to me.
If i prime atlantis coil for 10-20minutes, then when I chain vape it, it will slightly burnt taste.

There's a reason suppose to run the coil at 20-30 watts. The air flow and the size of the wire you need that to vaporize the liquid right. That's a lot of the spit back would think.
If you prefer a cool vape of 7-15 W, there really isn't a good reason to have purchased the Atlantis, or for a shop to have steered you into one!. It's meant to be vaped at 20-30W, look at the labeling on your coils if you don't believe me.
I think that given your statements there are plenty of lower cost clearos that would have fit you better. Which is why I claimed you may have been oversold.
1-2 hours to prime??? WHAT???? I drip 2-3 drops down the center and place a drop or two onto each hole on the outside. Put the coil in, fill the tank, cover the airflow and suck a few times to prime. Ready to vape in 5-15 minutes top... and I vape only 80-100% VG (thick stuff).
If you don't get the spitback using the Aspire coils, then don't use/buy the melo coils anymore. Or try finding some fine wire mesh and cut a small circle the size of the opening at the top of the coil and stuff it down the top of the melo coil to stop the spits!
I did this 7-10 w since 10 days after I have my atlantis, and it's just fine. I think the Melo coils just cant be played around with watts as much as Atlantis coils.
I tried to vape on 23-30w regularly since morning, and the melo coil still spits me with some nasty juice. Well, everybody's different then
Atlantis is fun, I think I dont want to buy something like Nautilus. Tried it couple of times after having an Atlantis, it's just not for me. Not enough flavor to my tounge.
I did think this might fix my problem. But before I buy it, I will try my re-wicked Melo coil and compare it with re-wicked Atlantis coil.
I do love the juice channel design with this Melo coil.
Vape on!
I don't know if it is the language barrier, but you keep saying the same thing as if it is new information. As I, and others have said; the Atlantis and it's coils are designed to work at 20-30 watts. Using them so far out of their specified range (your 7-10W) will probably cause clogged coils as your not burning off the juice fast enough or hot enough.
Have you used the Aspire coils at 20-30 W? If so, what were the results?

That's the juice spit on your tongue not flavor! LOL!
I will say it again... if the Aspire coils work for you at the wattage you prefer, and the Melo coils do not, then the solution is right in front of you. Stop using the melo coils completely!!!

Well, I understand you right since the beginning. I just dont see you getting it right that I use my Atlantis at 7-10w because I do love the result.
You tried to emphasize your opinion that I'm wrong, and I tried to tell you that I love my wrong-doing
At 30watt I still get hot spitback, though.
And yes, I will not buy any Melo coils again for my Atlantis.
Hope the rewicked Melo can satisfy me (and my personal vaping style), like the original and rewicked Atlantis did.

I'm not saying you are doing anything wrong.
But you are using the coil at such a low wattage, you're not gaining any of the Atlantis' advantages by vaping so far below its rated wattage.
I tried mine at 7-10 watts, and I barely get a hit. The coils don't even heat up enough on a long lung hit to give any flavor or vapor. Generally speaking, more vapor = more flavor, and that's the big advantage to a sub ohm tank and thus their popularity. They are a tank that gives flavor near to that of an RDA. That's why most vapers buy and use them. Honestly, I'd look for a more suitable clearo that better fits your vaping style and wattage. IMHO!
Thanks for this info, stock Atlantis coils are working great for me but its good to have options.
That's something we never agree each other
, but hey, difference is not a bad thing. Your experience might taught me some, mine might be informative too for some.My atlantis works very well at 7-10w. It has warm ( not hot ) vapor, quite my typical vapor thickness, and massive airflow.
With other ( I tried only Nautilus, too bad, right ? ) , I set to 7-10w, it didnt give the warm and thick vapor like the atlantis did.
On 20-30w with my cloupor mini, its just to thick and hot. I never say the flavor is worst in those settings, it's just too thick and hot ( for me )
I think personal and very subjective preferences plays a lot in this case.
Never once I'm thinking about buying a non sub-ohm tanks, because I think it already sampled well with Nautilus ( I tried the 1.8 and 1.6 ohm coil Nautilus , both taste exactly the same from my opinion ). Vapor quite ok, not much warm and flavor, and not enough airflow. I dont have the ability for an RTA, unfortunately.
I remember last week I tried to recoil an atlantis to 1 ohm using 26g kanthal at 8 wrap 3.2 mm. I got it at 0.98ohm, and put it on a 18650 mech mod, and it didnt quite gave the warmth vapor I wanted. Still too plain / cold. Flavor produced well, though. So I quit trying 1 ohm, it's just not for me.
I've had an Atlantis coil that popped and spit something terrible compared to the first one I tried. The next one I tried didn't, but it had wicking problems. Maybe due to all the layers of whatever that are inside the Aspire coils they're not always put together properly.
So far none of the Atlantis coils I've tried have beat the Melo coil. Time will tell how consistent they are, but I find the taste superior to Atlantis coils and possibly vapor production. They're really close in that category.
As far as someone saying buy a Melo tank, why do that if the coils work in the Atlantis and you already have one? They're still going to fire the same. The only benefit I can see is the Melo tank holding more liquid.

Yes, the Aspire coils are hugely inconsistent, I've had some last for 1-3 days and others go over a week! Also the new all cotton Atlantis coils are in the supply chain now!
I agree that there's little reason to buy a melo tank if you already own an Atlantis; unless you want a spare tank made by a different company that uses the same coil heads and has higher capacity! LOL!
Sounds like I need to try the melo coils for myself.
So ibought a 5 pack from eciggity. it fits kinda... Does anyone else have this problem? The holes are actually too low and dont show up in the cut outs. instead the juice holes are actually counter sunked into the bottom piece. Its still vaping fine for me though with 80/20 vg/pg juice at 30 watts.

A simple update on Melo coil in Atlantis tank.
Last coil I replace was at Feb 27th, and now already March 4th. It's a full 6 days vaping adventure with them ( 4-6ml /day) , and still going strong ( I hope )
Eventhough with those spits and gurgles, I never use Atlantis original coil last more than 5 days. This 2nd Melo coil I use is OK.
Edit :
I got curious and take a quick check
I think it's time to change the coil.
There's black-ish loose cotton tangling on the coil. This thing make me have to change coil.
After all, it's not too bad

the holes on the coil dont have to match up with the cutouts. if you look there is sufficient gap between the coil and the cutouts for juice flow.
What is the ohm rating of the Melos coil? Are they sub ohm like the stock Atlantis coil?
