Check out some of @HeadIntheClouds recipes on here in the diy section. He has a lot of really tasty looking recipes that are shake and Vape 8)
Got my Atlantis today, and to echo everyone else's experiences this is a very surprising tank. This tank vapes 90% of the vapor of my Plume Veil and flavor every bit as good. Really, really good vape. I can see this becoming a favorite very quickly. I also wish the tank was a bit bigger than 2ml, but small price to pay for such a great tank. If the tank held more than 2ml it would be a bit too close to perfect, so at least I have one minor gripe. But I only gripe when I have to refill and not while vaping. Just a really surprising tank.
Never thought I would think this however I believe the Kanger Aero Tank Giant vapes as smooth as a Russian, or a Kayfun. Stainless Panzer just makes it complete. Been vaping the same battery all day. Just about time for a swap.

I would bet that aspire will do the reverse of the Nautilus's and release a 4ml version that's a few mm taller in a month

Oops. Thanks AmandaD 8)
Just got mine and love it. I will still take my RDAs and orchids any day, but this thing is awesome for what it is. I bought it to show to my father and a few friends who vape and still smoke. They don't want to have to build their own coils. I am hoping this will be enough to get them all the way off the cigs. One thing I will note, I like mine at 35-40 watts instead of the recommended 30 watts.

Must be some pretty big wires in there. (For a Clearomizer)
All the reviewers agree on this thing liking higher wattage as well. I agree that this won't replace rebuildables, BUT my Nautilus, and others will likely collect dust once this arrives; as I doubt I'll want to use anything else but this on the go.

The coil appears to be about 6 or 7, 4mm wraps of 25 or 26 gauge. They should last as long as the insulator holds out. Is it supposed to be dual coil? The dual coil math doesn't work out for me unless they used some kind of custom wire. It puts out a lot of flavor and is plenty warm over 30 watts, but the density and vapor production are less than I expected at all air settings. Maybe it will "break in" a bit.
The tank appears to be about 21mm circumference and 1.5 mm wall thickness. I'm happy to see that they thoughtfully included a spare.
Only thing that annoyed me so far is getting all of the water out after washing.

It is a single vertical coil. For me, the vape production was what I expected at 35 watts. At 30 it was less than I expected but still better than any other clero I've seen. Same with the density. For what it is, it puts out well imo. Probably 75% of my orchid.

I had to turn mine down to 20 watts and on the 3rd to last opening. Still a lot of vapor. 30 watts and wide open is just crazy and awesome. Goes through the juice pretty quick though.
I heard 30-40 watts is even better. But wont that burn out the coil quickly?

I think you'll stand a better chance of melting the insulator than opening that coil. If it gets that hot, you'll notice. I had mine pretty toasty.
The last 2 mls of juice are unvapable, just like any 5ml tank. Now with the .5 ohm coil, the last 2 mls of juice have been degraded as they have been super heated by the outer chimney.

You may have it cranked up to high... I get every drop of mine ... I do get dark juice on my nautilus though but still not "unvapable" ...
I unscrewed the coil from the base and screwed it into the chimney, then filled it and screwed the base on. It let me get all 5 ml in. There is a little leaking out the drip tip this way since the air has no where to go, but the chimney is so large there is no gurgle.

I tried 2 new atties yesterday...A quad coil Lancia @ .2 ohms, set up at max air on a mech and the Atlantis on an AW box. The Atlantis is airier than the Lancia. I loaded a deep rich coffee in the Lancia and it was probably putting out @ about 75 watts and had no problems chain vaping it until it was practically glowing. I put cinnamon red hot in the Atlantis and ran it from 25 up to 40 watts and was happy backing it down to 32, (Sweet Jesus!).
Both mixes are 70% VG or better. I am not a cloud chaser but I like the thicker vapor that I get from the dripper or even my Mini Naughty better than what I get from the Atlantis. I don't think that it just comes down to air flow volume, I think the shape of the flow makes the difference for me. A smaller hot coil with a slightly restricted jet blasting it works better for me than a widening air path. I had a similar experience with the Squape R. The performance seemed bleh until I packed the wide airflow part of the deck with cotton around a chimney coil, creating something similar to the BVC design. I think the rushing air must aerosolize the vapor directly out of the coils rather than just wafting it from around them.
I'll keep experimenting with the Atlantis but I think that what I am going to end up doing is trying to recoil it with a 3mm coil.

Thanks! I've gone a little juice crazy all week but I'm trying to hold out for the Black Friday deals before I go all in. LOL

Same experience I have with larger tanks.....or even completely full fills. The end juice gets dark and just does not taste the same. Not horrible, not unvapeable, but you can taste it, and the vape is lower quality. The heating of the tank itself and chimney I do think starts to effect the juice.
I don't see an issue with the 2 mil tank and .5 mil in the soaked coil. The nautilus is so easy to unscrew and add juice, with leaks, without much effort at all. Takes 20 seconds. 10 mil squeeze bottle in the pocket is the extra capacity juice for on the road.
Dafuq are you talking about man? This isn't a thread about the nautilus?

I believe your just referring to the easy fill technique that Aspire utilizes on the Nautilus which applies to the Atlantis as well .

that was supposed to say without leaks......its the huge chunky meaty grommet they use at the base.....its like recorking a bottle....very easy.
Just bought an Atlantis. SUPERB kit this! Perfect for the person that wants to try sub-ohming without arseing about with rebuildables. Handles 100% VG like a dream due to the four juice holes in the head.
Yep,Yep Franciscan. Not quite an RDA... but scary close for a freakin' tank. Great for driving (which is a huge amount of my daily vaping). Even confirmed drippers will appreciate this tank for times when it's not convenient to drip I think. This tank is one of those huge jumps in vaping tech... kind of like the Nautilus was when it first came out and the BVC coil when it was introduced. Well done Aspire. Now we get to see the Kanger answer with their Sub Ohm tank. It's great to see Aspire and Kanger push themselves and the envelope to better vaping. Truly exciting time to be a vaper.

Got my Atlantis last Thursday. Tossed some max vg juice in it (realistically an 80vg/20pg) and vaped it to near empty in about an hour. Tossed more in. Vaped it down. Bought two more Atlantis tanks. Except when I'm at home, I haven't touched my dripper since. This is a serious kick ass clearomizer. I'm still using the first coil on the first Atlantis and I've pushed about 60ml of juice through it so far and no degradation in flavor whatsoever. I'm usually having to change coils around the 100ml mark on the Nautilus coils but can already start tasting a difference around 50ml. This is still tasting really good and I'm running at 35 watts.

OK. I've never seen it. I just thought that the coils look like stainless steel and that would fit the profile.
INSTOCK VapeNW.com has Aspire Atlantis Kit $29.95 http://vapenw.com/aspire-atlantis
Say hello to the new Aspire Atlantis.
This new Tank has some great new upgrades!
1. SUB-OHM heads. These new heads run .5-.7 ohms
2. Improved airflow system
3. New shape
Finally the nautilus gets a face lift! The last to incarnations were effective, but ugly.
Considering how well the Nautlius mini performed - I can't wait to see what kind of vapor these new sub-ohm heads can throw out.
Release date: Third week of November. Expect pre-orders soon.

I've had my Atlantis a week now on my Sigelei 100W running top to bottom on power settings.
It'll take high wattage but I get burnt taste above 50w. I like it around 45w.
Cloud chaser? Naaa. I've got at least 4 RDA's that'll beat it. But it does make an impressive cloud for a tank/stock coil.
Flavor? Best I've had...period. Big FAT juicy clouds.... nom nom!
Airflow? Bulls eye. 4 settings so there's one for each toke style.
Convenient? YES! Easy to load/go and juice can't get out no matter how you lay it so no sticky mod.
Leaks, floods, gurgles or clogs? Nope. I've put about 100mls thru it so far and I vape mostly 70/30 and some 80/20.
My only con is I wish it held more than 2ml's of juice. It Vapes so good I'm having to load it every hour!
It's basically a Naughty BVC on steroids. Grand slam Aspire!

in some posts I said I used an Ebayer who I was sure was selling legit Aspire stuff (Kanger too) this is the same outfit. VapeNW is the ebay name. The Myfreedomsmokes coils sales are unbeatable for stocking up.....but for great prices on small lots, with free shipping, this seller is good with real junk only

OK delving a bit deeper, tearing into some coils, and visiting their support, yielded up that it is American-Made Kanthal. The part that looks like stainless is the non-resistance leads, which is probably Nickel.
Yeah, there was this whole big thing about an assay returning that G-Plat is actually sold-by-the-pound 317L Stainless Steel Welding wire....oh, and free cotton balls!
Well let me jump in here to say I love this tank! I refer to it as a drippers dream- personally I get bored dripping- this tank eliminates that for me giving me the flavor & clouds I'd expect from a RDA.
The 2ml capacity is fantastic (again, to me) cause when it's time to refill I can grab a different flavor rather than have to suck down a whole 5ml of the same ole thing.
I've been temporarily using it on my Paps Lux until the box I bought for it arrives. I see a few more of these in my future. Sure, I could build coils but sometimes I just dont want to.
