Nautilus mini coil problem

[callum watkins sellick]

Hi im new round here just a heads up

ive been vaping for about a year now and i started on an ego-T kit and soon after that swapped out to a iclear 30s which i had for a while and never had this issue. after my iclear 30s i moved onto the nautilus mini and found that the coils that came pre loaded into my nautilus mini were absolutely perfect but the replacement coils were always burnt even if i primed them and took a few non firing hits and dont know what is going on any help is appreciated.
i am using a 50/50 PG/VG juice and a Innokin Cool Fire 4

Hi and welcome.

I've had the odd one that either fired weakly or tasted burnt as you describe - guess it's down to quality control or lack of it back at the factory. They must churn these out by the million.

I'm guessing you're doing the same as me - checking the new coil is right snugged down and leaving the thing to soak in juice for a wee while after filling your tank and fitting a new coil.

It'll be interesting to see what others suggest though...

yeah i have tried absolutely everything. i have bought multiple nautilus minis and everytime i have had one the pre loaded coil is perfect but when i change one out they always taste burnt i have tried just leaving them to soak in juice that didnt work it tasted burnt i have tried applying juice to the small holes and then soaking it and i have also tried prime hitting it without firing and none of them work really just want to get this problem resolved because the mini is a great tank with amazing flavour and vapour but the coils just let me down every single time

What wattage are you using?

 

[callum watkins sellick]

ive always used it on 8W

i was just wondering could it be that i always had it dispaying 4V instead of Watts on my cool fire 4? but the first pre loaded coil was always fine?

4 volts for the Nautilus Mini is perfect. I prefer 4.2v but that is just me. May I ask where you are getting the coils from? I know with my Atlantis v.2 there is a certain funk with new coils until maybe a full tank passes through it. Could be interpreted as burning though

i spoke with aspire on twitter and was told that my issue is that i had it in voltage mode displaying V on a cool fire 4 and i should of had it on wattage mode displaying watts. and i bought the tank and coils from UKECIGSTORE

 

[Falconeer]

I can't see why that would be a problem - I run all mine in volts mode at 3.7 - 3.9 volts. Even though the coils are nominally 1.8 ohms they can give a reading on my iSticks of anywhere between 1.8 ohms and 2.0 ohms.

But maybe I'm missing the point somewhere?

im not sure at all i just really want to know why this happens

I used to get a dud out of every 10 coils or so. And once in a while, my old B&M would get a batch of cloned coils. Those had a much higher crap factor. Got tired of it and started rebuilding them myself. It takes about 10 minutes and they work better than the factory coils.

Me too mate!

I have had that problem with those coils. I think there are some bunk ones out there. I used to get a couple in each pack I got. But then I thought their qc got better. I know there are people who rebuild them. There should be a video on youtube somewhere. I'm going to learn eventually because my mil still uses hers. I don't think you are doing anything wrong. You may have gotten some bad ones.

 

[Jdurand]

Watch out for clone coils. Did you authenticate them?

 

[Hans Wermhat]

Here's Rip Trippers rebuild video. There is also a horizontal rebuild vid out there somewhere.

I start at like 6w when I put a new coil in a nautilus. They taste funny at first but that limits the burnt taste. Work up a half watt or so every 15-20 puffs until you're where you want to be.

I am a Nautilus mini user. The best low power clearo IMO. I have been facing the problem of duff/fake coils before. Knowing of the genuinity problem, I started to buy direct from Aspire, until I found a dealer who sells proper BVC coils. BTW I use the Nautilus between 8 and 11 Watts. Use 50-50 or 70-30 PG-VG juice, as high-VG impair operation.

I use the nautilus coils all the time but I don't get a burnt taste at all. I always put 6 drops down the coil from the top and then let the coil sit for a couple of mins in the tank with the liquid. First fire I hit the button for a second but don't draw on it and I do this 2-3 times. Then vape and I have no problems at all and I vape them between 12-13.5 watts.Edited to add 50/50 eliquid.

 

[Rotowoman]

I've never had any problems with new coils in my Nautilus mini. However, I always let it sit for few minutes before I vape so that the juice can get down into the coil, or I take a few hits without hitting the button to start the ball rolling.

II just got the Nautilus Mini Yesterday and the guy at the Vape Shop was very specific about using the iStick on Wattage and recommended setting in between 10 & 13 Watts. Also he stressed priming the Atomizer by putting a few drops down the center. Hope it is helpful so far this unit is performing flawlessly.

1.85 Ohm 4.72 Volts at 12 Watt setting.
