I bought a Nautilus 2 as well, thought it'd be an upgrade from the X but it's just not as good. Airflow is better on the X and flavor on those .7s aren't as good as I heard.
Recommendation, MTL

Interesting, I kinda feel like the airflow is the only thing the Naut 2 has over the X. I'm a huge Naut X advocate with the 1.8 coils and 4 mil extension, and have been using 4 of them with different variations for months now. So I got the Naut 2 just to compare. My quick assessment:
Nautilus X- even with the 4mil extension, it's almost the exact same size as the Naut 2, which I found shocking. I guess that metal sleeve makes up for almost 2mls worth. The X is a million times easier to refill, has better flavor (I know some prefer the bvc coils, but I think that's kooky talk
) and in terms of airflow, I think it is smoother, but I'm not sure it's better overall. Also, it's really hard to adjust on my Black ones. Even though that's my standard color, I highly recommend someone getting one of the other colors, since it will make it far easier to adjust the airflow and see what you're doing.Nautilus 2- I gotta say, I didn't realize how much I missed being able to go down to a super tight airflow that comes from the bottom. Something about it coming up that way just makes it better to emulate a cig in my view. Also, dang, do I miss a 510 drip tip, and the ones that come with it are nice. So I think for those who really like a super tight airflow, the naut 2 has a slight edge. But I think it's a huge pain to fill, only holds 2mls, and uses lesser coils in my view.
So even though I think the X is far better overall, I do think there are some pros and cons to consider. Just for anyone trying to decide between the 2 of them.
And since I wrote that last thing, I just went shopping, and my Naut 2 leaked quite a bit in my pocket....and I'm done. Long live the X.
Mine never leaked, it just got juice on the inside of the sleeve which then gets it on the outside of the glass. Super annoying.
Only issue with the X is the refill gurgle, I can deal with that.
Ya, I've had it for a week, and it didn't leak until just tonight. Maybe the coil is giving, but still a bummer.
I don't own a Nautilus x so I can't compare, I will get one with the 1.8s an get back to you. But one thing I can say Nautilus 2 is best airflow I've had out of all the Nautilus tanks I have.
The Nautilus 2 will sometimes leak from what I have heard when you overfill them and do them up as the pressure has to release somewhere and that is usually via the coil, one solution seems to be after filling, screw the top down until you can feel it start to get tight ( as the top seal connects with the glass ) then turn it upside down with the bottom of the coil exposed to the air inside and then screw it up fully as this will push the excess air out via the coil instead of juice....
Working for me so far
P.S. I am using the Nautilus 2 on top of a istick pico running the 0.7ohm BVC set at 22 watts with the airflow shutdown to the last hole doing MTL vapes - loving the flavour its awesome

It's an awesome tank but all your suggestions are true, my first Nautilus 2 leaked but I followed these procedures for my second & all is fine. Just a pain to fill!
Hello,
Newbie here, thinking of getting a Nautilus X for use on a Tesla stealth 40w which I have on order. It's a short tank though and the Tesla is a side by side. Can anyone tell me the height of the tank with the 4ml extender added? Thanks!
