Poor performance from my Aspire Atlantis

[jonohoff]

So I have had this vape (The Atlantis and their Sub ohm battery) for about a year now, and as a general statement I have been very happy with it. I've been buying the same juice for nearly the entire time I've had it, but a weird circumstance led to me having to buy a different one. With the Arctic Strawberry that I've always bought in the past that's cooked right here in Kansas City, you hit the fire button and it is sizzling full tilt in less than 1/4 second, and it does so with steady use all day. I have become accustomed to this certain standard of vaping, and then I bought this other juice (Nillionare brand). This stuff takes a full second to get to a half ass level of heating, and by half way through the day it's even worse! Like a full charge doesn't last me through an 18 hour day (about 3 mL of juice)

I am going to buy more of the tried and true next time I get a chance, and I wanted to ask... do I need a new coil as well? Like is the contamination from that crappy juice going to be a permanent effect on the quality of my vaping?

How long has it been since you swapped out the coil? Are you talking about the Aspire CF mod and are you using the same battery?

I'm using the "Sub ohm"... the one where you don't remove and charger cells.

So yes I am using the same battery with the 2 kinds of juice.

Originally I had a coil in it that I'd been using with the trued and true juice for about a week. It always worked flawlessly until I filled the tank with this new juice. I've never swabbed my coils and I've never had this problem.

After I started to have this problem, I first thought that the coil had just gone bad, so I dropped in a new one that I'd bought when I bought the juice. I primed it very well so as to eliminate as many possible problems as i could, and it performed the same exact way.

I am very scientific when it comes to diagnosing such problems, so I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the juice is in fact the only problem.

Well, internal battery devices to start to fade out on performance. I've never known a juice to cause device problems. Hopefully someone else has thoughts on that.

Yes i know the batter has a finite life and performance will decline with time, but this change happened over night, with the juice being the only thing that changes

What was the resistance of your first coil? Is the new coil of the same resistance? If the new coil has a higher resistance, it will take a bit longer to heat it up properly.
That's why a VV/VW mod is preferable. You can adjust the power as needed for the juice and the coil's resistance.

your new juice might be higher vg than your old one. the atlantis coils have smallish juice holes that dont keep up with super thick juices. if you can go back to your old juice and performance comes back to your expected levels, then its likely that the new juice is too thick for the atlantis. a thing to try is to poke a hole like half a mm deep into each of the juice holes on the coil and see if that helps with the new stuff. inside the coils there is a layer of fabricy stuff wrapped around the outside of the actual cotton wick. you are just trying to poke through that layer, and not all the way through the cotton.

some is bad, but most of it is good. do not give up trying
