Provari P3 and new Kayfun v4...OR Vaparshark rDNA40 and Veritas dripper. Someone pick for me.
Provari is very popular. Like the macbook of vapes. I remember you talking about one a while ago. Probably go for it if price won't bother you.

I'm on a 2.5 now with kayfun lite, and the new P3 and kayfun V4 are out. Price is high, but I love the style of the device and this would be an upgrade in the power and airflow department as well as other features. Not as much power and vapor as a DNA/dripper setup, but I can get by without blowing hurricane clouds. I'll probably spring for the P3 rig.

That dna 40 with a dripper at 28 watts chucks clouds
DNA 40 Introduction Basics!: http://youtu.be/ECo4JPq7_LY

I don't know much about the Kay fun but that dna40 is no joke, it's definitely not cheap either

I agree. The thing is for me though, the cost of the device is nothing compared to the cost of juice over time. A DNA40 blasting out huge clouds on a dripper will bankrupt my ass with juice costs. Good juice can be expensive. DNA40 rocks though I'm sure.

I hear you on juice costs. $6 for a 10ml bottle is no joke if you go thru that in 2 days or less. I myself go thru 15ml a week which isn't much at all but that's with a aspire maxi tank on a 900mah ego battery.

I'll see what I go thru when I get my atlantis and sub ohm cf battery. I bet it will be more but my local store is selling 30ml bottles of juice now for $12.99 or 10ml for $6

At 12.99 a week I'm still saving almost $30 compared to smoking cigarettes. From the videos I've seen people are saying they've had to lower the amount of nic in their juice because of this tank. So I'll try going from 24mg to 12mg. I've been on 24mg almost a year now and need to start focusing on lowering it

Flavor goes away if you rinse them and dry burn the coils. I wouldn't mess with mods and stuff don't really have time for those. I clean my atomizer heads every 2 refills or so.

DO NOT dry burn BVC coils or you will ruin them. They change flavors very quickly. With most of my juices the flavor is completely changed within 4-5 draws. This can vary if you use a heavy coffee or tobacco juice though.

How long are the bvc coils suppose to last? Do they usually need cleaned at all?

Depends on how much you vape and how sensitive you are to when they fall off. I got around 2 weeks out of mine going through a tank a day. They do not need to be cleaned during use. Some will try cleaning them when they wear out to eek some more life out of them but for $3 with that life span I just tossed them.

I dry burn my pro tank 2 coils all the time and I usually get about 3 weeks or more out of them. I'm going to order the atlantis so I hope these bvc coils are a bit better.

I doubt you'll get more than 3 weeks of serviceable life out of the Atlantis coils. I notice vapor production dropping off pretty severely after about 2 weeks in the Nautilus...and after about a week with the other brands I've used.

Wow, that is an insane amount of vapor, IDK if it "satisfies" more than a mod that can't match sub-ohm output or if it's just turned into a contest to see who can create the biggest cloud. Anyway here's a neat little trick you can do with almost any E-cig, enjoy!..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAsDmkQVzkQ

I've been reading almost everything I can find about the atlantis tank and this is interesting. People are saying about 3 weeks in they notice vapor production and flavor drops some. So someone took the actual coil out of the (atomizer?) and the coil looked really good, not burnt at all. So they soaked it and cleaned it.

They said the wicking material that aspire uses basically clogs up, so they re wicked the coil with Japanese cotton and the vapor and flavor was better then a new coil. If it's this simple to do with cotton and I can extend my coils life 2x 3x or more I will gladly do this.

I'll try to find this thread and drop a link here for you guys. Either way if I can or can't do that I'll be happy with a coil lasting 3 weeks

I knew I would find it. Read thru the thread, like 8 pages long. Plenty of people talking about the tank and I'm pretty sure there's one guy trolling in the thread also, you'll notice it after a while .
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/clearomizers/625096-aspire-atlantis-owner.html

I end up on that site a lot when I look up stuff about the atlantis tank, pretty smart people over there too when it comes to this stuff
That's the first site I went to when I started buying gear. They have vendor sub forums too and the people are helpful if you have a lot of questions.

Edit: I also picked up the Atlantis tank and sub ohm battery and have a $10 off referral link to give out if anyone else wants to get one.

I have Kanger 1.8 coils, Kanger Xhale ego twist and a Kanger mini protank 3..... I'm supposed to just screw the coil onto the battery and then that onto the tank right? The coil tip (not the heating element) is protruding to far for the threads to line up with the battery.... what am I doing wrong? lol.....

I have a mini pro tank 2 if it's similar you screw the atomizer that contains the coil in to the bottom base of the tank. Then screw that base in to the tank. Then you put the whole thing on the battery.

haha... nevermind. I figured it out. You have to screw the coil onto the tank w/ the element inside the center tube, etc. I'm so stupid sometimes. :D

Glad you figured it out, i wanted to make sure the tank made it in 1 piece so i packed it in that pill bottle just to be safe.

Who ever was debating the Atlantis I'm telling you well worth the money. I was vaping 0mg juice and it hit pretty hard its like using a straw to suck vapor out. Tons of vapor too and the flavor from this tank and coil is awesome.

I want to sell my Atlantis sub ohm battery if anyone is interested. I purchased a stingray mech mod today.
