I'm going to throw something

[smacksy]

I'm running at 25 watts and my screen says 4 volts. The screen isn't blinking and it's running well with no spitting. Others have stated that as long as I run it over 4 volts I should be fine. Am I wrong? I understand that if I run it lower that my mod can't down regulate. I'm sorry to disappoint you with not catching on quicker. I'm not trying to be difficult. I have a store telling me to run it at whatever, websites and people saying they run it at say 22 watts, and then others saying I have to turn it up. I like the Atlantis. I want to use it within its limits but also to my liking.

I understand..but you're the one vaping it..just like I'm the one vaping mine..dont be afraid of trial and error..25w is OK but it might be better at 30..you'll never know until you try..its called finding your "sweet spot".._once its where YOU like it keep it there..very simple actually .I've tried mine as high as 40w and as low as 3Ow finding my sweet spot at 35w on my IPV3...
Well it does sound like your making progress and that's good..[emoji4]

Thank you for clarifying that I don't a have to run at 30 watts. I was starting to get more confused between what were suggestions and what were the actual specs. I'm going to run the Atlantis fro, 20-30watts to my liking and just leave it at that, now that I understand what I was doing wrong running it much lower. I also understand running it on the lower end my mod won't regulate it.

What mods down regulate ? Maybe it would be worth my time getting a different box mod to run the Atlantis. My mod only goes to 30watts. I also prefer the USB charging aspect as I don't want to be carrying around batteries all day. Price is not a problem, as I can just save up.

I agree, vaping an Atlantis .5Ω head below 20w will usually cause more problems than it is worth. I also understand what you're saying about increasing the power, I prefer one flavor at 36w ~ 40.5w, another at 35w ~ 38.5w still another at 24.2w ~ 26.4w.
But,,, the OP most likely would not like the vape from any of them at all. Some folks prefer or have a different definition of vape quality.

You seem to fail to understand not everyone likes the same thing or vapes the same way and that pg/vg ratio, flavoring, nicmg, airflow setting, draw technique, preferred temp of vapor and most importantly each individuals personal preference with all the variables makes a large difference in what power levels one may chose to use.
Your personal preference might be 30w+ due to your specific pg/vg ratio, flavoring, airflow setting, draw technique and your preferred temp of vapor, someone else may prefer 22w with theirs, there is no right or wrong. Talk about leading a horse.

The manufacturer (Aspire) suggests a power range between 20w - 30w, you can go to their site and confirm this for yourself or just look at the head itself, right beside .5Ω is (20w-30w).
3.163v / .5Ω = 20w & 6.32a ~ 3.873v / .5Ω= 30w & 7.74a which equals a voltage setting of 3.2v ~ 3.9v because most devices do not adjust in such small increments.

Just me, I think the OP's problem stems from their device not being able to step down / down regulate voltage.
On a freshly charged battery = unsatisfactory vape for their specific preference, as the battery drains the power output drops which of course lowers the power going to the coil as this takes place the vape quality improves for this particular person .
When the battery is drained then recharged the problem reoccurs until the battery voltage drops back down into the voltage/watt range the OP prefers.

Which IMO, boils down to use a power device that is capable of accurately supplying the power range you prefer at .x Ω range or use a different delivery device with an Ω range that suites the power device you have.

The 50w IPV2 would be a excellent choice I would think..plenty of power to run the Atlantis and a USB charging port..about $100 online... my sister has one and really likes the performance....I believe she ordered it from Eciggity..

I have to admit. I got so excited when I saw "Im about to throw something" I thought "ME TOOOO!!!! Lets throw things at things together!!"

That helps a lot..lol

The yihi sx330 v2 chip inside the IPV2 50w doesn't down regulate / step down power output below 3.6v, so spending about $100 gets the OP .4v lower output or down to 25.92 watt minimum using a .5Ω head. 3.6v / .5Ω = 25.92w

What if the OP's sweet spot is 20 ~ 24w.

She's running the Atlantis..at 2Ow its barely 3v. Definitely not a sweet spot as it will flood and not vape well at all..but I'm done debating on this thread..too many idiots..Lol

Is there such a thing of a mod that down regulates to say 3 volts and has a USB charger? Or if someone knows of a website that breaks down/reviews diff mods, that would be awesome. I've done research on my own and can't seem to find a mod that is around 10-50 watts, can down regulate to a lower volt, and has a USB charger( I would prefer authentic and not a clone).

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)..

Muted vapor and tasting like plastic but not burnt.
Sounds like it's flooded.

Get a SX Mini or rDNA-40

Get a SX Mini or rDNA-40

Or any of the other mods featuring the DNA 40/SX 350 boards.

Good idea, you simply do not understand how these power devices work.
When you use a power device that lacks buck circuitry / isn't capable of stepping down / reducing / down regulating / supplying less than battery voltage or the chip set has a built in minimum voltage output you can not magically force it to output less than the chips minimum output, no matter what power level shows on the display.

APV's using YiHi chips claimed minimum voltage ;
sx mini - 1v
sx 130 - 3v
sx330v3 150w - 1v
sx350 50w 2nd gen - 1v
sx350 100w - 1v
sx330v3s 150w 1v
sx450 20w 2v
sx470 2v

Evolve dna40

I don't know off hand which or if any can be charged via usb.

iPV Mini 30w Mod
These regulate down to 3v

Those do not work well with reading the Atlantis coils correctly though.

[Edit]

Nor do they regulate down to 3.0v, just tried firing at my Atlantis at 19w which displayed 3.0v on the IPV mini, and my inline meter showed 3.9v. For comparison at 30w it is 3.97-4.0v.
