I believe that is correct Tommy-Chi.I'm a total newb on this subject matter. When you say "Atlantis-style coil..." are you including in that reference Aspire Atlantis tanks?
Exactly what I was thinking. Color me not impressed.So, essentially you now have a little metal coil head with the guts (wire coil and some sorta wick) that you insert into a larger coil head that fits the tank base? How long do these little coil heads last compared to say a regular coil? I mean, it's not like you're swapping out the wire for a fresh coil or even just rewicking a coil.
Maybe I'm missing something an someone could point it out for me. The only part that is "recycled" is the outer coil shell which does include the screw own base. Everything else, in its own little metal sleeve, gets replaced. How is this different or more efficient than changing out the coil, period?
Yes. The Atlantis coil was the original coil design a lot of other coils are built off of, including the cCell. There are comprehensive lists of tanks that will take an Atlantis-style coil all over the place, but here is a link to a thread that lists some of them:I'm a total newb on this subject matter.

For ceramics, this is a game changer. Right now you have to throw the entire coil away when it is spent, but with this option you can just change out the ceramic core, which costs less and has less of an impact on the environment. Some of us just aren't into building and rewicking coils, so the cotton and wire option is a great alternative as well.So, essentially you now have a little metal coil head with the guts (wire coil and some sorta wick) that you insert into a larger coil head that fits the tank base?

The thin layer of cotton around the cCell is only there to help with leakage and condensation issues. The cCell is the least leaky of all of the ceramics I have used. The ceramic is actually the wick for the juice. It's baked around the wire (sintering process) so the juice is not heated by the hot wire but rather through the ceramic, which is why the flavor is so much better with these coils.I'm a newbie to the world of ceramic so help me out on this. You have a wire inside/embedded/wedded in some manner to the ceramic. In some ceramic setups there's even a layer of cotton. Juice is wicked up through the cotton (if there) to ceramic (or straight to ceramic) to wire where it is heated and turned into vapor.
In a "classic" ceramic coil, you have a metal enclosure with some holes in it to let liquid wick in, a base to hold the coil to the base, and a metal contact to complete a circuit to get power flowing through the wire to heat it up and do the whole vape thing. In this setup, you have a metal enclosure with some holes in it for liquid, a base to hold it, and a contact for current. Here, you have a smaller metal tube with holes in it for liquid, and ceramic and wire to make the vape. When it's done, you pull the little metal tube out with the ceramic and wire, toss it for delivery to a landfill in your area, and insert a new little metal tube containing ceramic and a wire.
Other than tossing a smaller metal tube each time and keeping the bit larger metal tube in the tank, where's the savings realized, and how much more environmentally friendly is the little metal tube that gets tossed versus the somewhat bigger metal tube containing the coil you toss out now?
Edit: @salemgold , sorry I hit post before seeing your post. So the metal tube in the photo is just a guide to mount the ceramic, then the tube is removed? Is that tube reusable?
Oops, you beat me to it!The cotton within a ceramic head is actually used to keep the juice from leaking out of the ceramic. Not for wicking purposes. It is a very thin layer of cotton used on the outside of the ceramic.
A question to the Vaporesso people, this is seemingly being introduced post 8/8. Is availability in the US going to be an issue going forward?
There should be early reviewer videos soon, I'm thinking. The tanks (Estoc and Mega Estoc) and the coils are still on pre-order at Heaven Gifts and Vapecrawler isn't showing any returns from anyone else. I hope release date is soon!I really like the Vaporesso Target Tanks, have a small pile of them and a growing stash of coils.
You know getting ready just in case, but this does interest Me. I'll probably end up giving it a try but would like to see some more reviews before I do.
Yes! it works splendidly, both the CCELL and cotton variety.wooow this looks interesting!!! i would love to have one to try out!!!!!!
@Chelsea have you used one yet? again ty
