Question about the Aspire Atlantis... How many watts could it be vaped at without killing it?

I wouldn't advise running it at 100W. I've pushed it up to 40 and have heard of others vaping it between 40 and 50. Aspire has the Atlantis coils rated for use between 20-30W.
Not really designed for cloud chasing, may want to look at an RDA if clouds is what you're looking for.

You have to figure out the wicking ability of a coil/wick combo. Running past the wicking ability will result in dry hits. High wattage dry hits are the worst. To run at crazy high wattage you are going to want a large dual or quad coil setup with good wicking. This spreads the heat out over more area (less chance to get localized dry spots) and allows more actual wick (holds more juice and better capillary effect).
Easy way to find the wicking limit is to start low in wattage and slowly step upward. You can normally tell by taste and sound when you are reaching the wicking limit of a given combination. Backed down a little from that point is good for someone who takes a hit every so often or who primes between hits (inhale without firing on tight draw a few times). If you chain vape you want to back down further.
The Atlantis hits its wicking limit at around 50 watts from what others have reported, though this will swing up or down since mass produced coils have variances. What this means is that if you vape it at 100 watts you will be WAY over the wicking ability and get a massive (and very nasty) dry hit.

After 1-100w hit you will NEVER try a second. You get about 0.25 seconds of flavor followed immediately by the sensation of having mouth-to--mouth resuscitation being performed on you by a fire breathing dragon. As already stated, 30 watts is about right.
A dry hit is when there is no juice touching the heating coil.
Think of the nastiest cigar you've every smoked/smelled, then triple it, because you're just burning the wicking material.
The Subtank does have an RTA rebuildable deck, but the price is dramatically reduced airflow and vapor production. Quite good for flavor, but lacks in vapor. So it depends on what you're looking for. Not a slam on the Subtank rebuildable deck... it is quite nice, but it's a trade off of vapor for flavor.
