Warning: My Aspire Atlantis coil just FELL APART while I was vaping, and particles got lodged in my
- Thread starter supermarket
- Start date
I've never had this happen with my Atlantis (v1 or v2). I always check the coils whenever I refill the tank and my wick never looked that bad. Whenever the coils started to look a little gunky I cleaned them with a qtip and kept right on vaping. The v2 coils are much better than the v1s and now I'm just rebuilding them myself when they go bad.
2 of my friends that also have the Atlantis v1 haven't ran into this either. They have spitback issues from time to time but nothing on this level. I never notice any spitback on mine personally.

I check the coils too at each fill which is about 5ml. Since I had the incident with the first one I found this thread on here and the "other" forum and decided to post in here. So I decided to track how long the coil last. I am just about exactly half way through a bottle of Crocodile Tears "Happy Ending" (Cherry flavor) when I had this second incident. I have contacted the vendor as I purchased two 5-packs of coils from them that are supposed to be the OCC coils but from looking at the packaging they appear to be the old coils as they say nothing about OC. If folks are out there that have the old coils Aspire needs to replace them as this appears to be dangerous. In the picture I took you can see what appear to be small particulates all around the side of the coil/wick housing. Up to these recent incidents I have been very happy with aspire atlantis. I have 4 tanks all with the 5ml upgrade. I go through about 5ml of liquid a day and I rotate the 4 tanks/flavors each day. I am vaping these at 25w on a pair of iStick 50w. I purchased 4 5-packs from another vendor and hopefully I get organic cotton version from them.
Can someone knowledgeable on the differences please confirm that the new OCC say organic cotton on the packaging?

I run mine at around 40-45w using the v2 base with the 5mL extension. As far as I know the v1 coils aren't available in OC but all the v2 coils are. The v2 coils work just fine in the v1 (minus the .3ohm coil due to cooling) and the differences are obvious in appearance (larger wicking holes and 4 holes on the air inlet cap opposed to 2 on the v1s). I have went through 30mLs of Ruthless Vapors "Mandingo" on the same v2 .5ohm coil and have had no problems.
Not saying there aren't problems out there with the Atlantis and I think they should offer replacements for all the v1 coils with ceramic wicks but this has been my experience and trying to just help out with what I have learned.

Well II contacted the vendor (101vape) and asked them for a refund or replacement. I know I ordered the coils back in April so I didn't have high hopes they would offer to refund or replace. I was told the following:
Generally, coils can be used for 2 days to 2 weeks each depending on many variables including the juice used, wattage settings and amount of use. When you do choose to use them too long they do tend to deteriorate, by looking at the picture you have provided the coil itself is very black which shows that is has been overused.
The coils are in fact genuine from Aspire and they do include the verification sticker the confirm this. These coils were purchased now over 2 months ago and we cannot accept the for refund or replacement.
Nothing against the vendor here but I find it unacceptable that these coils can be good for only two days. Like I said 15ml or less actually was vaped through that coil. Is there any reason I shouldn't expect these coils to last longer than two days? I am vaping right in the middle of the recommended wattage printed on the coil (20-30w) at 25w.

new ones have .3
.5
1.0 for choices of which coil is in the box...the old ones did not have .3 as a choice i believe...good luck and VAPE ON

I've had that happen to me a couple weeks ago on the subtank. Took a hit and felt something wack the top of my mouth. Managed to spit it and it looked like a little peice of charcoal which obviously was gunk buildup from the coil
Want to be sure? Buy some brass screen. #375 works well. cut it to fit the drip tip.AND...again yesterday! I felt a slight tingling in the back of my throat. This coil has only vaped about 15ml of juice! Aspire should replace those with old coils....as this seem dangerous to me.
I like this idea! Where do you get it?
Hey, after I almost suffocated I am terrified of stuff blocking my lungs. If I suk on something & it ain't a tit, I have a screen. 
EBay has it. I am not going to get into trouble. I can be used for other things.
None of us would ever do 'other things'
For those interested the old coils simply say 'Aspire' on the foil wrapping. The cotton coils actually have instructions on the foil wrapping that say to wait for two minutes to let the cotton become saturated.

I recently got my supplies in to start making my coils for my Atlantis using the original heads.
Really easy to make and I am seeing a great improvement over the stock coils.
Ordering this today to see how well it works

Mine is on the way. I just can't stand the thought of paying B/S prices they charge. I bought Pro Tank coils one time so I would have the body's to rebuild. It's fun!
Just got the Anyvape RBA in today. So far I love it! looks like it might be a pain to build on but the flavor and cloud production is awesome! I will update later as to how it is in the long run.
With kanthal and rayon I love these things. I tried putting a ni200 coil on it
and ruined the coil, I'll try again later.
It is a pain in the ass to build on with ni200 !

Was the coil a genuine Aspire coil? I have been using mine for quite sometime and we sell them and never has a customer had this issue. I know I have had several people state they have had the fake coils and have had MANY issues with those. Just wondering if you had genuine Aspire coils?
Just...wow. hope you're ok

Yuck...
I've gone through a few dozen coils since I got my atlantis. The ones that came with the tank were the old ones with the small holes, and they seemed to perform better than the new ones. The new ones spattered a lot and I did tend to overheat them all the time. I ALWAYS draw over my tongue, and not straight back into my throat (that's what the spatter taught me to do ).
The new coils, I started running a qtip through every once in awhile because I could see the buildup (and taste it). I had to remove the screen and clean it though or the qtip would leave cotton fibers on it and they would foul it a bit.
If it tastes a bit wrong, S T O P it's only going to get worse lol.
I've switched to e-leaf and I left a tiny review in the atomizer/cartomizer section. They're not great and they're not terrible but I like them & prefer them over the atlantis coils.

I rip the stock coil apart with malice & forethought. I coat the coil I wind with mucho cotton, wet it with everclear so it shrinks & ease it into the coil head. Then I drown it. Use .22 mostly. Lightning Vapes wire Is the best I know of. It's a joy to build coils.
