Out of curiosity, do these coil heads fit out Pro C - ProC Series Heads - Joyetech I ask this because..
They have nothing to do with each other. The ProC coils are much larger.

Before I forget: The Ego AiO PRO (unlike the normal AIO) models allow for coil resistances as low as 0.2ohms (which is the only reason why you can run the Notch coils - and why the Pro C asks for a battery which >25A rating. Have you tried them already?). Don't forget that if you build coils for the BF RBA head.

if.. then?
Yet to try out pro C as I have not got my charger yet !! That is with customs, if nothing happens this week, I will get one locally :(
I did order some BF RBA coil heads.... So I guess that and the notch coils are enough for now right? Or should I get more spare coils. If I should how can I find the supported coils for the pro C?

You have a 521 mini tab in your Coil DIY kit, so you need to build and test your coils to stay safely above that value.

The BF Notch coils are certainly "enough". Infact, they're THE most powerful coils for that device, by a clear mile. Should you want a softer coil, you can always order others. "Joyetech BF coils" are compatible, and even the new "Joyetech ProC-BF coils" are backwards compatible (not to be mixed up with the ProC-C coils. It's the "BF" part that you're looking for). Get them anywhere you like. They're so widespread and unspecial that even your local vendor should have them.

I would hold off ordering coils until you know which you prefer. Then stock up if you see yourself using the device regularly. Same with the new tanks. No sense spending money on coils that are just meh.

That is good advice but 3 sites have already gone off line. So things may not be available at my whim very soon. :(
Then give site reviews a read and choose what coils will suit you best for flavor and consumption. For the Atlantis 2 I would go middle of the road .4-.6 range. Decent flavor and vapor with those resistance in most any tank.

Precisely what I was doing, you wizard :D
Let me know if what I did below is correct:
1. Primed my coil (stock coil at 0.3)
2. Let the tank sit for 15-20 minutes
3. Connected to my Cylon and took some no-fire puffs.
4. Set the wattage at 35, locked resistance at 0.35 (what the cylon read) and took a few hit. Barely any vapour.
5. Kept climbing by 10 (recommended at 70-80).
6. At 60+ I could not bear the heat. All airflow was open but the flavour and vapour at that watts was phenomenal. But I had to dial down to 50 which is not that great with flavour.
So nowhere close to the recommended but it is already getting too warm. Is there something else that I have to do that I missed out? Maybe I will have more luck with the 0.5 but the 0.3 came preinstalled and you know my overzealousness :D
Sorry if I am now beginning to bug you :(

You should be in wattage/power mode and you do not lock your resistance. Tell me what coil you are using, read it from the box.

I am in power mode.
I am using 0.3 ohms (the cylon reading is 0.35)
You said you locked resistance, don't do that. It isn't unusual for a coil to be a touch off resistance wise, nothing to worry about. Still haven’t told what coil for what tank.

Sorry, I am using the stock 0.3 ohm coil in the Atlantis 2 tank. Is that what you were asking? I am yet to get into RTA, today was an intro to my cylon mod!
Will unlock resistance, don’t know why I decided to do that!!!!!
You've been reading a lot of research, it happens. Did you try 52w or are just jumping from 50-60w? I have a coil my sweet spot is 23.3. Sometimes just a little jump helps. Also play with af, find where you like the warmth and start adjusting af.

That I have, didn’t want to spend more time researching Atlantis, so jumped into it without too much fanfare!
I admit, I went from 50 to 60. Will experiment more, that’s a learning. I did try all possible afs, both at the top and bottom.
I find the vapour and flavour so good at 70+ (not to mention the nic rush:D) and not that great at 60. And 60 is hot in itself! Maybe I just have to get used to vaping at higher watts! But then 50 is good for my juice consumption, so that’s where I’m locked at right now :)

Quit using the word locked if you aren't actually locked, makes me nervous. :)

My advice is vape down that tank and take that coil out and put it in a baggy and try a new coil with a different juice. You will find some juices work better with different coils and/or attys. Prime coil every time.

Priming is locked into my routine..... Oops..... :D
Locked terminated from dictionary!
Bag it? Hmmm.... one coil down already eh?!
But joking aside, I think I’m going to have much better purchase with the .5 ohm coil!
But tomorrow is intake RTA day! Building coils, burning tongues day! Maybe I’ll never look back after that :D

Don't throw away the coil, save it if you want to go back to that juice. If you don't rinse it out under the faucet and let dry. You keep those for a rainy day.

Burning tongues are rarely required for building, think you'll be fine. :lol:

That is good to hear for many a rainy day approach.
Btw, in the VW mode for cylon, there are 3 options - min, norm and max. I suppose they don’t make any big difference right? I tried all 3 and couldn’t tell one from the other!
One general question - I tried charging a new LG HG2 today and it behaved oddly. On the xstar vc2, right off the bat it showed 4.2 V and the mAh kept rising till 62 after which it said full. I tried charging again and this time is said full after rising to just 10 mAh. This is fishy right?

4.2 is a full charge. Most batteries are about 3.7 at time of purchase but some shops charge the batteries to fully for customer convenience.
Min, normal, max are just ramp settings. I stick with normal. If I was to switch to thick wire builds I would use max. IMO you're good with normal as well.
