Some very nice people from my last post explained that I wasn't using my Atlantis correctly. I was running it extremely low and had no idea. Now, I'm trying to run it correctly at the correct watts but I'm getting extremely muted vapor. It basically tastes like plastic(not a burnt hit). I've changed the coils and I'm still having the same problem. I primed the coil and the holes of the coil are lined up properly. I'm using nicoticket and itc vapes juice. Also, the vape is extremely hot. I'm using a Hana clone that runs to 30 watts. If anyone has any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong/malfunctioning I would be extremely grateful. I'm to the point that I'm either going to blow a gasket or go out and buy a pack of cigarettes =(. I want to buy a new mod but I can't find one that will work for a nautilus at low watts and also go above 30. Any suggestions for that would be great as well.
I'm going to throw something

Hi there. Not sure if you're trying to run it at 30W cause your Hana has the ability or if you're saying it's capable. Have you tried ramping it down a bit? What you're describing sounds like your wattage is too high. Try lowering it.
Try a different juice maybe..my Atlantis vapes great at about 30-35w with 10O% VG even..I like clear juices like Vanilla Ice Cream..Atlantis uses a sub ohm .5 ohm coil and at 35w, or about 4.1v, like on a fully charged batt in a mech..I've been running the same coil for about 3 weeks with no dry hits, no burnt hits and no harsh hits either..just a smooth, thick flavorful vape, first time every time.. Very enjoyable on my silver IPV3...wish I could help more, but when it's setup with enough power and with the right juice it's an awesome tank..just short of dripping, least it works that way for me..

Try a different wattage. Each person will taste this differently.. Start at about 10 and work up until you find your sweet spot.
After you ensure the Atlantis and replacement heads are authentic by verifying scratch off security code #'s on the Aspire site understand that the W range recommended by the manufacturer is 20w ~ 30w.
Just because some folks use 30+w doesn't mean you have to, it is a matter of personal preference.
Being able to adjust power output is one of the main features / benefits of using a variable power device, it allows you to find your own personal sweet spots by fiddling with the power settings. There is no such thing as x watts is best for x resistance.
Start off around 18w and increase power slowly taking a vape or three on each power/watt setting until you find what you like.

I stated I run mine myself perfectly at 35w..if that's up or down from what your running only you would know..but yes, this coil likes higher wattages...even 20w is way too low at barely 3v..30-35w is where it really starts to shine or about 4.0v or so...anyway good luck

My Hanna clone tells me it doesn't work under 24 watts or 4 volts. The volts blinks on the screen. I was told that means that in order to run correctly you need to be running at 4 watts or higher?
Can you charge your mech with a USB? I really want to be able to charge in my car.

And I could disagree with you. The Atlantis on my Vapor Shark is superb at 22W. I dont have to take it up to 35 to enjoy a great vape so that right there falls in line with what Top said- watts is subjective.
I have the Nautilus, Atlantis and Kanger Sub tank. I run all 3 on the Sigelei 100w plus
25 to 30 w is bother for the big tanks and I don't go over 13w for the Nautilus and don't have any issues. Flavors are great in all, the wattages I just listed
I made this comment to address you wanting to use a tank that will handle lesser w as well as a larger tank and higher w.

A mech is mechanical, i.e., no circuitry and a charger implies circuitry to charge so you're not going to see that as a combination very often. It can be done but I haven't seen it.
The blinking volts is telling you the hana cant down regulate output to match the setting you're using, it is outputting unregulated battery voltage when the v blinks.
Nora I really don't understand what your asking here..this is not a mech but a 150w VW box mod called the IPV3..but no, I can't charge it thru the computer USB port.. I charge the batts in a separate charger..

Numbers numbers numbers. What they recommend has very little to do with whether you like it or not. Start low and turn it up till you like the way it vapes. Those numbers mean nothing.
I hate that : if you have X ohm coil you need X watts or its wrong. None of that takes into account your vaping style, the juice you use and so on. Just turn it up till you like it and be done. Smacksy said he likes his at 35. I like mine at 25. Your the one vaping it

There's a lot of factors with the Atlantis. Airflow, wattage, juice type. All of you are referencing just the wattage aspect. I run mine at 30-35 watts on my Sigelei 100w plus, at the second air hole with 80/20 v/p juice. Great vape and good wicking. If you're running at 30 watts with the airflow all the way open and your getting plastic or dry hits, mess with your airflow and give it a few primer puffs before you start vaping again.
Not to hijack but this is a very common misconception. The dna30 chip along with many others do not down regulate power output below battery voltage.
The dna30 specs show a minimum output of 4v.
So no matter what the screen shows (22w) it is outputting at least battery voltage to the coil. 4v / .5 = 32w & 8a
There are literally dozens & dozens of boats loads of folks that think they are vaping at much lower wattage's than they actually are.
VW is great isn't it?? What works for you running at 22w (3v with .5 ohm coil) doesn't work for me running mine at 35w or 4.1v, like on a fully charged batt in a mech..but between you and me I can't possibly see getting a decent vape at only 3v..that's below battery voltage of 3.7v...oh well..

I'm starting to think that this sounds like a wicking problem. The somewhat plastic or metallic taste plus the hot vape feeling and poor vapor production all indicate that juice is not feeding to the coil quickly enough. Your last post about these coils was regarding the lifetime of the coil, again coils that fail early with a burnt taste usually aren't getting enough juice.
Since many report that the Atlantis coils work fine with 100%vg I don't think that juice viscosity is the issue.
There are two things that I can think to try. If you are running the airflow wide open, try a lower setting to help pull more juice into the coil. Also do one to several primer puffs before each draw. If that doesn't help, I would suspect that you have some bum coils, perhaps not genuine (but then again, Aspire coil QC is hit or miss anyways).

I meant box mod. I apologize. I'm only just learning the lingo.
From what I understand, when the screen blinks it's telling you that your not running high enough or low enough for the coil your using. That's what I understood from my last post. In my last post I was told to run the Atlantis at 4 volts or higher which on my Hanna is reading over 25. Running lower was causing now flavor,spitting, and the coils to burn out within a few days. Also, my battery was draining very fast. I'm sorry to be confusing, I'm consumed myself. I'm trying to figure out how to make the best of the set up that I was sold rather than having to start from scratch. I appreciate everyone's patience.
