I'm doing just that now. I know its starting to get repetitive and I apologize. Coil is nice and tight, saturated wick really well, airflow is at widest setting, currently pulling without firing. Gonna wait a few more minutes before I fire it. I really REALLY appreciate all your help!!

Yep! I checked the authenticity of it. It's legit =)

I am virtually certain you'll get the vape that you're looking for :)

Trying it with Cereal Killa?

Think I'll load some up now :D

So has the new coil worked better for you? My coils seem to be gunking up faster than others as well. I've been getting about a week or so out of them before the vapor drops off too much. I don't see how others get 3-4 weeks. I'm running mine with the aspire sub ohm battery. Is it possible that giving them more power would cause them to last longer and not gunk up as bad? I'm wanting to buy the new 50w istick when it comes out to use with my Atlantis.

Just took about 5 puffs from the new coil and no dry hits yet! *fingers crossed*
BUT.. the new coil is giving me a much harsher throat hit. It's like that harsh feeling you get when you get a dry hit but without the dry hit taste. I started firing it at 22 watts. Bumped it to 27 to see if more heat helps but it didn't. Made it harsher. I over saturated the wick too when priming (the juice was flowing out of the 4 holes). :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

It actually wasn't - it was filling up in the well that the coil sits in within the base.

Did you drip directly onto the coil, 4-6 drops, in the way I described?

Also, the throat hit on CK is pretty high in general, due to all the citrus action.

Maybe you just don't like CK :p

Don't puff..do hard lung pulls without firing the coil.. 2 or 3 should do the trick..

Yep, I added about 5 drops first to the center (saw it slowly drip down to the center holes).. Screwed it back into the tank and flipped it back right side up (didn't fire it), 5-10 minutes later, unscrewed it out of the tank again and added 2 more drops in the center I saw that it was kinda pushing the juice out.

Well, if you over-saturated the wick, it would not cause dry hits. You'd most likely get some spit back of that sweet sweet nectar into your mouth :blush:

Great pic, Dan.

Rewrapping with Koh Gen Do? That's next on my list of to-dos

Yessir, I do torch the resistance wire for a couple seconds to get the old juice gunk off. Then put the coil on a 5/32 drill bit, and rewick/wrap, and reassemble into the coil head. Easy peasy.

Funny you said that, I just got a mouth full of juice :)blush: teehee) from my last 2 puffs. Either my throat is numb or the harshness went away. Don't feel it anymore! Should I bump the watts up since it spitting? Currently at 22w.

I'm starting to feel light headed xD

I would!

Try like I said.

Hey head cheese, do you think running my coils at a higher wattage than my aspire battery puts out would help with the coils gunking up? I'm only getting about a week a piece. Sorry to go off topic, just a quick question I wanted to ask without starting a new thread.

In my experience, which is albeit small, I don't think so?

Maybe someone else can chime in that knows better.

I use pretty sweet flavors but nothing dark colored or anything. The max my battery will put out its 4.2v at a full charge but drops off gradually after that. It just seems like others are getting a lot longer than a week. Maybe they're just not as .... as I am and they deal with the decreased performance for longer than I can lol.

30 watts - warm, nice vape with some spitting
33 watts - slight burnt taste no spitting
31 watts - VERY enjoyable, no spitting! I think I found a winner!!

Nice! Hopefully this one works out better for you and you can enjoy the full potential of the Atlantis. I can't wait to get a regulated mod to run mine on.
