Alright guys here's what's going on. My every day setup for months now has been an Atlantis on top of my 50w istick. I've always used the .5 ohm coils and they usually read .5-.6 and I run them around 28-32 watts or so and I've never had any problems. For some reason last night out of nowhere I started getting bad dry hits. It got to where I had to take a couple primer puffs every time before hitting it.

Unfortunately I'm all out of coils so I had to run to my local shop and get one. They're all out of the .5's until Friday but they had the v2 .3 ohm coils in stock. I know they're interchangeable and I really needed one so I figured I'd give it a try. It's reading at .3 ohms I'm running it at 40w so it's giving it 3.4v. When I press the fire button and listen I hear a slight little buzz come from it and it won't actually start crackling and firing til after like 1.5 seconds. The best way to explain the sound would be like if I set it to 6w and hit the fire button, that noise.
I've never ran anything under .5 ohm on this and it's just got me a little paranoid is all. All I have for back ups is 2 aspire sub ohm batteries and it would be a while til I could afford another replacement. Besides the firing delay it's a really nice vape all the way up to 50w with these .3 ohm coils.

I'm wondering if anyone else has ran into this and has any input? Thanks for reading, I appreciate it!

Edit: I just realized if I run it at 50w there's only about a .6 second or so delay. I don't like pushing it right to its limits though. I'll also keep an eye on the temperature of the device.

Thanks guys. Yeah Susan I forgot how high were rated. Maybe there's a slight delay because it's just low wattage for these coils?
That also got me thinking. My aspire batteries can fire down to .3 ohms and the voltage output works similar to a mech as far as it's supposed to put out 4.2v with a full charge then gradually drop from there. So 4.2v with a .3 ohm load is 58.8w. So in theory they could give more power than my istick when fully charged.

I just picked up tesla battery, similar to aspire cf. unregulated as far as volts go, that's why I switched to the .3 coils.
Never noticed noise you described, but I think you might be talking about ramp up time for the coil to heat up and yes it takes a little while at 50w.

I bet if you set your wattage really low and hit the fire button and put it to your ear you'd hear it. Also one thing I noticed with my 50w is that if I screw something on while the screen is on it'll read .1 higher than if I put it on with the screen off.

Hahaha brilliant. Its been pissing me off that it always reads .1 higher but now thanks to that tip I can get them reading the pukka ohmage. Cheers man ;)
