Just ordered atlantis v2, and as I'm new to sub ohming I have a question.
.5 coils (proper aspire ones anyway) seem pretty hard to come by! Can I use 25-30 watts (aspire 30watt box mod) on a 1.0 coil, without compromising taste/vapor production. I only ask because the recommended level is 40+.
Please help!! I'm getting confused.
Knowledge is power! Keep on reading, Viruk!!
According to the Aspire site https://online.aspirecig.com/new-atlantis-replacement-atomizer5pcs-p-89.html the ratings for those coils are as follows:
1)0.3Ω(70W-80W)
2)0.5Ω(20W-30W)
3)1.0Ω(40W-50W)
So you really need 40-50 watts on your mod, or find the 0.5 ohm coils to use with your 25-30 watt mod
You can always order from the Aspire online store at the above link if you have a hard time finding the 0.5 ohm coils
On a side note, it does seem a rather silly mistake by Aspire, to market a box mod that isn't capable of running all their sub ohm coils. I was originally going to buy the istick 50watt, however, I do like the quality of Aspire, but I am a little annoyed.
Thanks again!
I'm not sure of the chronology of release dates for the Aspire 30w mod and the Atlantis tanks, but I think the CF mod and CF Sub ohm were released for the Atlantis tanks and they pair well. The CF Maxx is a good pair with the Atlantis Mega; but I think the Pegasus is going to be a really nice mod moving forward
I am also in the UK, shipping direct from Aspire isn't so bad - especially if you buy a few items you need at the same time. If that's too much and you only want a small order then there are some reputable traders in the UK you can use. You can switch the cost to £ when shipping direct from Aspire - it just defaults to $. Just hover over the "setting" and choose your currency - see attached picture.
I believe https://www.ukecigstore.com/ is an official Aspire retailer - they have 0.5 ohm coils in stock right now. I believe you have to spend £20 or more to get free postage from them. I have used ukecigstore before with no problems.
Having just checked, yes it is... you can see a list of options here: https://www.aspirecig.com/business-partners/UK/
http://www.vapeclub.co.uk/ is also on there. I've used them for liquid but not for hardware (although a friend has used them for hardware too) - but again its a reputable company in my experience and is listed as an official Aspire partner. They don't currently have 0.5 ohm coils in stock but they are worth keeping an eye on.
There are other options both listed as Aspire partners (I haven't tried any others yet, so can't comment on my own experience), or most physical stores will have aspire gear. Just remember to do that scratch and check thing to ensure they are genuine.
Good luck finding the coils you need - hopefully there are enough options to get your sorted without too much trouble (or waiting!) :)
I have placed an order at ecig uk, as you say, they do have the .5 coils. Now I know you can change to pounds, I'll probably give Aspire direct a go to.
Once again, many, many thanks!!
I spent hours reading around trying to decide what to buy and where to buy it from - I've set all that out for a few friends recently too so its all fresh in mind - glad someone else can get some benefit from the hours of reading I've done :D
One brand of juice I've tried and enjoyed for sub ohm vaping is https://www.ifancyone.com/index.php/eliquid/cloud-chaser-range.html but that only comes in 50ml so it may be more juice than you want to gamble on without testing it first. I tried in a shop before I bought, but I like the Rainbow Kick and Blackcurrant Frost flavours - that may be completely at odds with your tastes but they worked for me.
Those are good for sub ohm tanks as they are 20/80 PG/VG.
Again - this wont be the case for everyone, but I found at least 50% VG and 3mg nicotine was better for me when sub ohm vaping - but my next answer will also apply here....
In answer to your question reducing nicotine strength, you can buy some more of the same flavour juice in lower nicotine and mix them. Buying some nicotine free and mixing it 50/50 with the juice that's too strong will halve the level. You could also apply this trick with juices you buy for sub ohming if you find 3mg is too low or 6mg is too high. I'd say the most important thing is to find a flavour you like and won't mind buying more of to balance the nicotine level in case it needs adjusting :)
Theres been a mix up at amazon, on my order. Which means I'll be receiving my esp 30w some considerable time BEFORE (annoying) my AV2 tank. Quick question (hope I'm not becoming tiresome) will the esp 30w work ok with my nautilus mini?
If you can set voltage go for an upper limit of about 4.2V on a 1.6 ohm coil (according to the version of the coils I have - check on your coil for the preferred rating as some of the different versions of coils seem to have some different ratings - just go with whatever is listed on your coil). If its only wattage mode it will be about 10-11 Watts (assuming the above 4.2V on a 1.6 ohm coil) - you can calculate what the voltage would give you in watts using the following online calculator: http://www.steam-engine.org/ohm.asp
Make sure you set the resistance (1.6 or 1.8 I guess for Nautilus coils) and set the recommended voltage then it will show you the wattage (and Amperage), you can set wattage appropriately then :)
Good luck
Keep asking away - I'll answer if I can :)
A couple of friends bought that package and its a great combination :)
The CF VV is good enough for the Nautilus of course (although I never used the CF VV) .
The ESP 30W will be awesome at +/- 27Watts for the Atlantis but you can use it for the Nautilus as well, at +/- 12 Watts (used all 3 of them).
The Atlantis needs a direct inhale that may surprise you a bit.
I think this summarizes it (for the moment) ;)
As your client, it's nice to see you earning your bloody high fee for once!! Bloody lawyers! Human vultures. Haha :-))
I use 6-12mg for mouth to lung in the nautilus, but I use 3mg (and much higher VG) in the triton for sub ohm vaping. I'd recommend halving your usual nicotine level if you're just trying sub ohming as you will go through much more juice and probably get the same (if not more) nicotine when you change the style of vaping
