The short answer is no. Your iStick will not fire a coil below .9 ohms. That is, technically, subohm, but not by a lot and AFAIK you'd have to buy an RTA and coil it yourself to get there. Most prefab coil tanks don't offer coils in that range. They're either .2-.5ish, or 1.2-2.4 ohms. Moving up to an iStick 30 would get you there; it will fire down to about .4Ω or so. Here's a link to the Steam Engine Mod Range page; click the upper left box, select "Eleaf iStick" and you'll see the range of coils your machine will fire, at what wattage, on a graph to the right. Then select the Eleaf iStick 30 and you'll see the difference. There are any number of good tanks for which you can get .5Ω coils, but be aware getting the most vapor from them will require you to change from mouth-to-lung to direct lung vaping. Some people like that, others don't.Thank you both
Edit: You can move down into the 1.2Ω range and it will make the full 20 watts on your mod; that would help. But you'd need a different tank than the Nauti.
If you are using high VG, you may have problems with wicking on the Nautilus. The Eleaf GS Air and GS Air M come with 1.5 ohm coils. They wick better than the Nautilus coils because they have larger holes.
You will get decent clouds and flavor with either the Nautilus or the GS Air but not cloud chaser clouds.

Hi all, I'm newish to vaping and have purchased the ileaf 20w, I have an aspire k1 tank, is there any other tank I can get which is better, (bigger clouds)
If you want to chuck clouds. Learn to build and use either an RDA or RTA with big airflow..
And that's going to require something with more power than 20W.
You could use a 1.2ohm Subtank (Kanger) with higher VG liquid... up at 18/19w. (?)
Better still grab yourself a Kayfun Monster, run it in the mid-teens (14-16 watts) with decent VG liquid (50/50 or 60/40) and beat the 'factory' atomizers in the world cup of almost-clouds for tootle puffers.
Yesterday, I found myself with 3 mods and 3 tanks all set to exactly the same power, which was kind of spooky as most of them had been adjusted during my 200 mile round-trip and I don't look at the display whilst driving.
Mini Nautilus*, Kanger subtank (factory vertical OCC) and Kayfun Monster.
One was barely making vapour*. The other two were on full steam. Lovely.

Yes. Serious clouds and 20w is not really the combo.
A dual coil RDA with maxed out with VG would do a fair impression, but not much in the "opaque stakes".
Not so sure about that. I chuck some impressive clouds at12.5 watts and less.
Very true , people don't think serious clouds are possible with lower power and even higher ohm builds but people would be shocked if they saw the cloudage lol.
Of course not cloud competition cloudage but way more than i need.
Agree 100%
I have been at the bus stop waiting outside for a friend, and people have walked up basn asked to see my resistance and wattage. They see I am using a .8 ohm build, and firing at 12.5 watts or less. They can't understand how I get that much vapor.
I'm using 8 wrapps of 26 gauge Kanthal around the shaft of the little blue screwdriver. It gives me a resistance of .78-.84.
The little Advken Ohmega Nano I'm firing that at 9 watts and giving me all the vapor I want.
Didn't know they made a Nano. I am running the full sized version coiled dual parallel 28ga SS316 at .11Ω in TC mode at 550deg and it rocks the house.
Great stuff
About the same as your K1. Mainly because it uses the same coil heads as the Nautilus. The only real difference between the Nauty and the K1 is the tank holding the juice.
To make bigger clouds you are going to need to build your own coils for the heads. Iou might try doing some 1ohm to 1.5 ohm coils using 28-30 awg wire, maybe some twisted 31 or 32.
You can use a Subtank on your mod if you use the 1ohm or higher heads with it. I think your mod is limited to 1ohm. Bt a subtank running the 1.2 or 1.5 coils should do great.
This might be true of the factory heads, but if you were to make your own coil using heavier wire you could run at 1.5 or lower, for 20 watts. The the limiting factor here is the max volt and amp load of the mod. It can't do 20 watts on a coil over 1.5 because it is limited to 5.5volts, can't do less than 1 ohm because of the 4.5amp limit. But stay within those limits you should be OK.
Well they did and IT ROCKS. What the Billow V2 Nano should have been.
People would be surprised at the vapor produced on a Magma or Veritas RDA with a 2.2 ohm build , i have experimented with everything since i started , especially things that most would never even consider .
Even the flavor is outstanding at that high ohm in some drippers lol.
Don't know how @Bonnie C post got in here but here is a reply.
There are three causes if burning coils.
1. Too much cotton crammed into the coil.
2. Not enough airflow to keep the coil cooled down.
3. Too much wattage
@herb j have vaped everything from the old Clearomisers to sub ohming.
I have made all kinds of builds, and for me .8 is PERFECT. Then I vape it till the resistance climbs to 1.0 ohm.
