I've been vaping for over 3 years. Started with the little cig style went to a ego, then twist, then vamo, then mech mod, and a box. I've been building for over 2 years and I can tell you that .5 ohms is fine on a mech mod. Ive built down to .2 and vaped all day without any issues. His .5 is fine on the mech mod as long as he knows to lock it. Yes a regulated mod with a 1.5ohm coil is safer but for some of us its not enough and we've moved beyond it. Yes he should have gotten a aspire mini and a twist or a protank but he's already made the investment so lets try to help him with what he has not scare him into quitting. So ok take the tank off, battery out, and place one on the dash one in the trunk and one in the glove box.... who is going to take their stuff apart and have to reassemble it just to vape? I don't and i carry mine in my pocket all day. Just be careful and enjoy it! If you really want to be safe they sell flashlight holders you can wear on your belt that will keep the mod from moving around as tour walking and such. Any hardware store has them. Some are lined just in case it does smoke you can yank it off and throw it away from you. They have velcro on the belt loop for that reason.
Question: just started vaping bought the atlantis aspire with this mod is it good?

Steven.
Its not just about ohm, its that newbs jump on to mech mods on day one with out being taught anything about safety. Its like giving a chainsaw to a blind person.

That's true but the tank he has is made for subing and if i remember right (from a few weeks ago) the coil in it has a big leg and a thin spot before the coil so it gives it a safe place to burn out. Forgetting that not all shops will sit down and explain battery safety is my bad. Another option you have is to get the aspire battery that was designed for that tank only. Its cheap and works ok with it. The mah is only around 2000 if i remember right but I believe it is protected for your safety, although it is advertised as a mech mod.
Sorry this is intense, I am intense. The OP just started vaping. The mech mod and the Atlantis are the very first devices she has ever used. She know very little about the batteries she has and I would wager she couldn't define an amp in one sentence.
You are apparently an experienced vaper, but this isn't about you. That fact that you keep referring to her as "he" kind of suggests you haven't read the posts closely. No one here is trying to scare the OP, we are trying to offer advice she can work with, but also strongly to emphasize she pay attention to safety. It may seem overkill to you now, but you yourself started with cig-a-likes and moved up. More to the point, she needs to be vaping something now - but by "now" I don't mean what she has, since she will have to learn about batteries and she will have to learn what resistances are safe and a myriad of other things to get her current set-up to perform satisfactorily. She could more easily learn if she had something to vape while she was processing all of the new information.
fogger may have been sharp with you, but he posted exactly what I immediately felt. Again: new vaper, first device, mechanical, no experience, sub-ohm Atlantis - do you think anyone with that profile would understand this? Or that it would be helpful?
It is truly wonderful you are reaching out to new vapers, but you really must pay attention to what they are asking and what they can clearly understand.
Take for example a stingray magnetic switch mech mod. That decorative steel ring is press fit onto the perimeter of bottom brass button, the locking ring threads down and touches it to lock the mod. That pressed on part of the mag switch button can and often does get loose enough to fall off the button leaving the mod in an unsafe and easily fired condition. I have shown this stingray flaw to a couple people in person myself fwiw. That ring sometimes gets pressed off partially just by the pressure some folks put on it with the lock ring. It's pretty damn easy for this to happen, nothing is foolproof. IT IS safest to slightly unscrew or remove the rda or better yet, remove the bat before shoving a mech in your pants pocket if you want to be sure it's not going to cause a problem if the lock fails.
I see what you're trying to say about 1/2 ohm on a mech. I run @ .4 ish quite a bit myself unregulated, but I know what to look for in battery specs and monitor their condition as I use them. None of which someone just starting out vaping has any idea about without learning about it first. Sorry I jumped on you Steven, but somebody had to do it !

True. I shouldn't be so quick to say its ok for everyone because it worked for me. Also the new battery they made for that tank is new and given some time may find flaws with it. But she her op was asking if it was a good set up and it is, maybe not for her but I'd run it. Imo!
Of course you would
but I wouldn't. I just discovered that the little dripper I got because it looked cute on my bOd Mecha is designed for making clouds and I can't take anything but a lung hit off of it. I learned that airy lung hits don't make me happy. From the reviews I have seen, mouth-to-lung doesn't work well on the Atlantis either.
I would recommend the IPV2, it can fire up to 50w which more than enough for atlantis. Although not a DNA mod, the IPV2 can still catch up. But there's a lot more DNA chip mod which is cheap. Try looking for Hana clone with original DNA30 in it.

Cloupor and IPV have also put out "Mini" version of their 30 watt devices which are only about $50 each. I have the IPV Mini and my Atlantis works fine on it (even though I hate the darn thing). And for reference, the Atlantis absolutely SUCKS with regards to mouth-to-lung hits.
That's what I thought. I'm sure it's been done, but I find it difficult to think of a new vaper getting off of cigarettes straight to sub-ohm lung hits. That seems more hobbyist territory to me.
I've been vaping for 4+ years and I'm just now thinking about buying my first mech mod. I spent a week reading about it and I came to the forum to ask questions too. I have an Atlantis but I purchased the sub ohm battery with it because I won't buy a mech until I'm ready and know what I'm doing.
Batteries can be very volatile. It isn't something you get into without knowing what you're doing. I also have a dna 30 vaporshark and I can out sub ohm builds on there if I so desire but they might not be as ideal as a 50 watt device.
My advice is: do your research, ask as many questions as you like until you have it down and know it in your sleep. So many people do things unsafely and shame on aspire for not stressing more how very dangerous these builds can be when out on the wrong mech with the wrong battery. Know your ohms law and the amp output of your battery.
My mech setup is still in my cart and I'm gonna buy it. But I won't use it unless I'm positive I know what I'm doing.

Kind of. With the pro tank and such I would still want to smoke but since I got into sub ohm I've been good. If I didn't get into sub I think it would've been more of a hobby but then again I may just need more from 24 years of smoking
I agree completely. If, in some alternate universe, vaping was only accomplished by lung-hitting, I'd most likely still be a smoker.
Absolutely agree with you it took me 3 years before i even considered mech mods then spent close to 6 months on all safety aspects of sub-ohms. To the OP go back to the B&M where you bought your setup and tell them you are new to vaping and to help you with a more appropriate set up. Cant just blame the B&M either she may have walked in and said i need this mod with this task not realizing she was new.
I can lung hit with my RTA if I feel like showing off, but it's a medium draw device and more suited for mouth-to-lung; however, the little dripper I got is deceptively evil. I can't even describe it. When I start to take a drag it's like my body goes into protection mode and makes me lung hit. Even with the afc open just the tiniest bit I can't m-t-l.
