They won't admit to it. That's why they are sending out bogus PDF files to people who are calling their bluff. As for the cotton coils, they're in production now but I don't foresee them releasing them for sale until all the crap ones get sold.
It is great that so many have the ability to build their own coils in order to attain that "perfect vape" or at least progress towards it.
Some of us don't have and never will have that ability and opportunity. So thank you Aspire and Kangertech for providing us a vastly improved option in our aspiration of finding our "perfect vape".

We need pics of the rebuild process. There is no way in hell I'm using these things with fiberglass.

Strange, I preordered it and got it when it came out... still loving it. I agree with the somewhat muted flavor but it actually works out great when using some stronger flavors like cinnamon, whiskey, and coffee. I compare it to adding a tablespoon of water to a glass of neat whiskey, some otherwise subtle flavors are brought out with it. Five Pawns Reserve for instance was too strong for me on my kayfun but is very pleasurable on my Atlantis at 35 watts.
My first coil was great, second coil would burn over 25W, current coil is great between 30-35W. There's a good Imgur post outlining the rebuild process. Some folks remove the coil/wicking material carefully, clean the coil and wick with Japanese cotton. Others make new Kanthal coils using 22AWG wire with a 9/10 wrap. Read a good method yesterday on removing the shim that keeps the cotton liner in place so that it can easily be replaced. I'm going to rebuild some of my coils and if it's a big PITA or takes too long I'll just buy them and make 'EM last as long as I can.
I've been impressed with the flavor from the Atlantis but I too am concerned about the wicking material that's being used. I just got the Kanger Subtank today and all and all it's a better product. The flavor is notably better, the vapor is warmer and the coils are built with cotton. I was surprised that the size didn't bother me too much but I'll just use it on a IPV which it looks fine on.
I've been exclusively vaping RDA's for the past year or so and bought these more out of curiosity in hopes that they would be good enough to take out so I wouldn't need to drip. The Kanger Subtank fits the bill. I'll put the Atlantis away until they come out with better coils.

I just picked up an Atlantis and I find it to work just fine for what it is. I get big clouds and decent flavor from my current juice with it at 40 watts on my God box. Tried lower and higher wattages but always come back to 40. Mine also has no air leaks whatsoever, if I turn it to the smallest hole it is hard to hit through. I run mine wide open. A dripper it isn't, but it is the best tank I have tried so far. Great for driving.
I find that the initial prime is very important here !
This is an excellent tutorial James did Hairball,,,, there is one small part that I found a bit different in how I prime my new rebuild or even a stock coil though,,, I actually found that taking that coil and really priming it well so all the cotton ( and other silica blankets inside on a new stock coil ) must be primed more than James primed his,,, I make sure all the material is absolutely WET especially that center part where the coil is but ALL of that material is primed and wet ! We know even cotton will burn but wetting Everything First & A GOOD PRIME helps a great deal, If you don't do this your singing that center material no matter what it is !
I've watched people just fill there Atlantis tanks, twist the bottom base on and vape,,, then they wonder why there getting a burnt or off flavor or taste,, Stand that coil up on the table and PRIME IT VERY WELL,,,, FEW DROPS AT A TIME,,,, roll it around, few more drops, stand it up on the table and drip more , until a few drops start leaking out of the bottom openings, that coil actuallyit holds more juice than people realize. Now your ready to screw that coil in place in the base, fill tank, screw on the base,,, even let it sit for a couple min,,, Anyways this is what I've found to help a good deal, and people don't do it,,,, didn't see this mentioned anywhere in this thread, so thought I would add my 2c

I agree...
I have many RTA/RDTA, and while I will probably try my hand at rebuilding one of the coils, I bought this for the simplicity of replace/fill and enjoy.
Bought the Coil 5 pack for 15.00 shipped.
First coil lasted 9 days, second coil I fried after 3 days at 50 watts, 3rd coil (that came with the 5 pack) is going strong on day 5.
I find thinner juice works at 35-40w but heavy PG works best for me at 30 on my SX Mini. I prefer fully open draw, and while it is no where as "dense" as my .3 ohm drippers, it really is quite enjoyable. Oh Face by Beantown tastes just as good as on my drippers.
No leaks at all !

This is not meant for a Mech, and should be used on a protected VW mod for best results.
I now go back to dripping some Neckbeards Nectar, my new favorite at home Juice!

Too much unnecessary work.
Fill it, cover air hole, don't fire, take some draws. Let sit 5 minutes, repeat, wait 5 more minutes, BOOM, good to go.

Meh, disagree, while I mostly use it on my IPV2 or 3, i found it works quite well on my Stingray x and looks smart as hell on that.
I just fill, let sit 5 min, 10 slow, easy dry pulls, let sit for 5 more min and vape. Haven't had a burnt hit. I don't cover the air holes during my priming hits but can see the advantage.
Quick update:
I got my ipv3 finally from Steve over at Vix Vapes in San Clemente, CA. (Thank you, sir)
I have to take most of what i said back. Even 35w is a total difference. At 40-45 watts, it vapes about 95% of anything i can build, and i do a good amount of sub-ohm, pissing contest style building. Im still bummed about the ceramic/fiberglass wicking material. I pulled apart a coil last night and the first thing i noticed was a metal mesh screen above all of the wicking material. It was seated evenly and looked like it would prob stop a good amount of unwanted material from being inhaled. That being said, i wont be buying any coils until the cotton ones come in.
So if anyone is doubting, it really doesn't get to that dripper performance until 40w of power. My Hanna fully cranked at 30w just wasnt cutting it.

One more update. I'm assuming something may be wrong with my Hanna. Even at 30W, the Atlantis is pretty damn good on the ipv3

I watched a comparison video today and like some folks have said on here was that I was vaping it too low. I cranked it up to 35w and the flavor is way better. I'm still going to stay away from these coils and wait for the cotton ones but my opinion of the Atlantis has changed for the better.
IMO, that's the smart thing to do. I quit smoking to try my best to avoid lung cancer even with the unknows of vaping. I don't need something vaping related causing it if I know for a fact it can (do some research on figerglass and inhalation). I have 30 coils all being rebuilt with Japanese cotton...I like the flavor better anyways.
