Hey guys!

I'm having a lot of issues with the Atlantis. I got this 3 days ago and its been performing inconsistently. I've been googling my issue for 2 days now and found no answers. I was hoping maybe someone can help me out.

Day 1 - I had filled the Atlantis up with Cereal Killa and forgot to prime it (2 red flags, I know. Learned my lesson the hard way). I changed the coil and replaced the juice with a lower VG (Cosmic Fog's Milk and Honey).

Day 2 - I noticed the Atlantis was spitting up A LOT. At first I thought it was the vapor that had the sweet taste but then realized it was just WAAAY too sweet to be vapor. Had a mouth full of vapor every time I puffed on it (even at 30 watts, had some dry hits so I went back down to 25-27 watts). Starting taking the Atlantis apart (with juice in it) and tried patting everything I can down to make it less saturated but still no luck.

Day 3 (today) - I decided to switch the drip tip on my Atlantis to Nautilus drip tip. The spitting was less noticeable but still there and on top of that, I'm getting dry hits when I take long draws. I do not chain vape on this. I take 1 puff every few minutes. Its just mind boggling how the Atlantis can be gurgling/spitting and still give me dry hits. I am using the ipv2s with the Atlantis and I noticed today that my box mod read .8 ohms. I am using the .5 ohm it came with. I don't vape below 20 watts or over 30 watts. Is this normal? I changed the juice once again to Ben Jonson's Snickelfritz because the Milk and Honey juice was just too sweet.

Can anyone help me with this? The dry hits are just BAD today and my throat is starting to hurt. I read so many good things about this tank and I really don't want to use a dripper since my knowledge of box mod vaping is limited (I know enough to not get myself hurt. I am not pushing my setup).

If this helps, I tried adjusting the airflow as well. I kept it at the largest setting. I tried them all and the smallest setting gave me the worst dry hits.

Sorry to hear that! 35w with the air at the wide open slot it vapes great with the 100% VG juice I use dripping..wicks fast too as I can see little bubbles with every pull, as well as the juice level dropping a little....also best results are when I take a deep lung hit..not too good for mouth hits, at least it's that way with me...seen here on my IPV3 it hits are almost as good as dripping on my RDA's..again, its about 4.1v or 35w for my sweet spot..hope you get it hitting good for you too..I'm sure you will!

Vincom, gonna try that right now! Hope it works!

Smacksy, WOW 100% VG? I was told by the guys at my local shop that Cereal Killa (90% VG) wouldn't work that well with the Atlantis since VG was so high.
Yep..10O% VG..be surprised what they don't tell you at a vape shop. Lol..
Heat makes the juice thinner and again that's where higher wattages work well..after two good pulls at 35w my tank is warm and the juice is thinner and wicks fast..no dry hits, no burnt hits and no coughing or hacking either..just a smooth thick vape.. Very enjoyable!

Off topic question.. I see that you own 2 Ipv's. I saw on some random youtube video that it the company recommends NOT vaping while the ipv2s is charging. I read the manual and box thoroughly and saw nothing about this. What do you think, Smacksy?
These are two IPV3's...they don't have a charging port..I charge the batts in a separate charger...

In the manual it states not to charge while vaping. It does work though, but the charging light turns off when firing.

But yea I just don't do it because it says not to in the manual

ahh.. I just read it again for the 3rd time and I finally see it. It's on the last page, last line lol. Derf.. Thanks! I did this once or twice but I didn't want to push my luck. I know now not to do it at all.
