Sometimes instead of puffing I blow while firing the button..the coil will wick for me either way..blowing I can watch for vape coming out the air slot..I also watch for little bubbles coming from the juice inlets in the tank..once it starts wicking then I can vape normally. I do this when changing flavors mostly but it works well to get s new coil wicking too..least it does for me..
Day 4 - Welps.. I just changed out the coil I've been using since day 2 and took some pics. It seems like the coil is only burnt in the center and everything is still nice and clean looking which probably explains the inconsistency of the coil. I guess it was a bad coil. The cotton was sticking out too. Installed my 3rd coil in, primed, and I'm now hoping it doesn't act out again.

Don't understand your issue with CK at all...
All day, every day, no probs. Mr. Cookie is high VG, too.
I think your issue is priming your coil correctly.
I put about 4-6 drops right onto the coil. I don't drop it straight down the hole, rather, I tilt it slightly so that I'm dripping on the insides of the coil, if that makes sense.
Also, when you have the coil in the base, before filling the tank and tightening everything down, shoot a drop of your juice into the 4 holes on your coil. I find that this promotes much better wicking once your tank is back together.
Good luck!
Ohh.. GREAT TIPS!! Thank you, headcheese!! I didn't really have much issue with the Cereal Killa aside from the first pull. I admit, I did not prime it. The shop guys by me was telling me CK wasn't gonna work with the Atlantis so I switched it out of my tank. I will give it another try tho!
I edited my post, adding this:
Let me know if any of this doesn't make sense and I'll up a picture for you. I love my Atlantis, it performs great. Want you to experience that too!
Let me know
You should see the coil clear in the center all the way down as this is where your airflow comes thru..no gunk or anything should be in that center passage..wicking is around the outside of the coil (called a vertical or chimney build). As I've stated many times before this coil wicks fast for me with the higher wattages ..install a new coil in the base tightly, fill your tank with juice, screw the bottom in making sure the juice inlets are visible in the slots, set airflow to wide open, take a couple deep lung pulls without firing the button to help prime it , let it sit a few minutes and take your first hit, at 30w...it should hit really really well in or about after 4 or 5 deep lung pulls..works great even for my little sister!...can only try to help you so much..good luck!"That should be wide open all down the cork screwing coil..look at new one like this to see what I mean"
what do you mean, smacksy?
As a recall, on Day 1 (using the Cereal Killa 90% VG), burning seemed fine aside from the HORRIBLE dry burn it gave me from not priming the coil first. I replaced it after an hour of use because the burnt taste wouldn't go away. I switched juice too. I don't recall much dry hit after the initial puff. Maybe I should go back to that.
I'm replacing coils every friggin day when my ex-coworker replaces his once a month. UGHHH!!
I'm not sure if you can tell real well in that pic, but maybe you can see where the NR-R-NR comes together.

I really appreciate it! I won't give up just yet! I have 4 more new coils. 4 more chances!
Oh yeah.. are new coils supposed to have a weird taste to it?
Only if you don't prime them correctly
Does your pack of coils have the scratch-off authenticity code on the back?
Want to make sure you don't have knock-offs!
