I have the Atlantis Series Tank on my Joytech Evic VT. The first week i bought the Atlantis tank and used 12mg Nicotine five pawns signature series e-juice at with mod set at 25 watts with my atomizer at .54 ohm doing full lung pulls and getting amazing flavor with huge clouds. After almost 2 weeks I had to replace the atomizer and installed an "identical" .5 ohm and now everything tastes & functions terrible. All of my settings are the same as before & would like to know what is causing the burnt flavor and small clouds before spending money on more coils. Any input would be great, thank you.
The Pegasus release was also poorly orchestrated. The announcement should have been delayed until TC was tested, and they were rolling off of the production line. The shipping delay of several weeks while they added TC angered many of their customers who had payed for the product.
Perhaps a beta test program, with a hundred testers that signed a non-disclosure agreement leading the general announcement by one month would serve Aspire well. This should give the company a chance to fix any problems before the release.
I assume the "identical" coil is a genuine Aspire one and not a clone?
The other thing is to let a new coil sit for a while, and wick the juice up all the way before the first hit. Once, the cotton gets burnt, there really isn't a way to recover from it.
Tricks that I've found to speed up the wicking processes. Close off all the airflow openings, and then suck on the drip tip several times. Open them up slightly, and start at a low voltage/wattage, then work your way up on airflow and power.
Personally, I found it's better to flood a bit and get gurgles at first, than to deal with a dry burnt coil. Flooded coils can be flicked clear, vaped clear. Burnt coils, thrown away.
You may shorten the life of your coils a little running them slightly high - but its not uncommon from what I can tell. If its working for you then keep on doing it :)
I run the Atlantis coil with the current juice (80% VG) in the Triton Tank at about 33-35W, that's rated at 25-30 and doing fine. There are examples of people running much higher settings above the recommended wattage.
A friend of mine runs the same coils in his Atlantis at about 40W - using a different juice, but I'm not sure of the PG/VG ratio he is using.
I wouldn't imagine you'd get any major problems going a little bit over - but dial it back if you notice any burnt hits.
I'm sorry I can't offer much more in the way suggestions, other than taking the coils back to the place you bought them. I understand how frustrating that would be. I guess no company is immune from having a "bad batch". I know its no consolation to you, but there do seem to be good ones out there - maybe the retailer can offer some help and advice (or with some luck a replacement or refund)?
It's funny how we forget to state the basics (well I do anyway) which we do automatically with a new coil - but you covered it!
Why are so many aspire Atlantis atomizers defective?

They are a legit shop and have been around for years.
Just a suggestion... You never know...
Should i try a 3rd shop and get the same results? or switch to a kanger? Im trying to give aspire the benefit of the doubt but its kind of hard to after WASTING money on defective products. Keep in mind ive read pages of suggestions and watched several youtube videos to see if im doing something wrong and im doing everything as instructed and recommended.
I have one more .5ohm Atlantis Atomizer to install & test. I am switching to a Kanger tank today if i do not get a valid solution to the Atlantis Coil Issues. I am running a Joyetech evic vt at 20-25 watts. impossible to go to 30 without burning the cotton, please help.
Thank you & Best Regards.
My main concern is frying the .50 ohm atomizers at 35-40 watts.
What do you all think about running the Atlantis .50 ohm atomizers at 5-10 watts higher than recommended ?
Or does it make sense to switch up my tank to a different brand that wont burn my atomizers out within 24 hours?
Although the higher wattage seemed to of sold the problem that doesn't address the amount of atomizers i am going through on a daily basis, I really like the look of the Atlantis tank and enjoyed the performance of my very first original atomizer which came with the tank it doesn't seem as though i can find an atomizer as good as the original. all of the atomizers I've used are authentic and all of the scratch codes are verified.
Thank you for the help but im switching tanks as soon as i can. Going through $60 in atomizers over the last 2 weeks is completely unacceptable.
Thank you,

I appreciate the responses and am looking for better than luck or a band aid for my situation.
I just want a working tank that doesn't blow through replacement atomizers ever 1-2 days. Or is that possible with an Atlantis setup?
Majority of the forum threads on here seem to be negative regarding the Atlantis Atomizers.
Thanks again everyone for the positive vibes and positive input on my situation but today is the last day i am running anything from Aspire. I am switching to a Joyetech delta 2 tank this afternoon.
Best regards,

I don't like the Subtank Mini, as the drip tip gets too hot. I'd trade mine for a Triton in a heartbeat.
I really like the Triton with the 1.8Ω coil. I run it between 11.5 and 17 watts, depending on the liquid. These coils last over four weeks with one of my liquids, and at least two weeks with the worst one. The vast majority of the leakage problems reported with the Triton can be traced to folks not tightening the coil into the bottom hardware enough. More force is required than the coils in the Atlantis or Nautilus series of tanks to seal the bottom connector of the coil. I think this is due to the coils in the Atlantis/Nautilus tightening more when the top hardware and glass is installed.
Hopefully you'll be satisfied with your next tank.
Primed cotton, filled tank, wait 1 hour, gently broke in coil on my SXmini at 10 watts with light 3 second draw waiting 1-2 minutes between vapes until using about 1ml then repeating process at 11 watts, then repeating at 12 watts, then finally trying to enjoy my juice at it's sweet spot of 12.5 watts. The coil that came with the tank lasted 2 weeks, these 5 pak replacements don't even make it through a single tank.
Here are my authentic 1.8 ohm 5-pack codes:
09234 87108 40209 20714
34703 59209 66710 98914
00068 9583600058 91114
HA. Won't forget to shake my juice anymore....
