YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! SUCCESS!!!! Thanks to all the suggestions like upping the power and changing to smaller holes, I worked through what I thought was the coil going "bad"!!! Thank you all so much!! Turns out my problems were User errors.
On another note - I have found what I've been looking for - a satisfying vape experience!! I bought the Aspire SubOhm battery and Aspire Atlantis and WOW WOW WOW!

I'm having the BEST vaping time ever!
I love that this set-up is very simple - like my beginner eGo starter kits. This is like an eGo on steroids. For me, it's PERFECT!! I've been using it a lot since yesterday and my juices taste even more delicious, I can inhale as long as I want and, talk about huge clouds!!! I don't even have it wide open! I'm using lower nic juices. I'm willing to have to charge more often for the trade-off of the perfect vape.
I have already ordered another battery so that I will always have one ready.
