My thoughts on the Triton Mini tank for those nauti users who might be considering buying one.
I am a devout nauti user, both the original and the mini (though my mini is my fav) The original nauti had too many flood issues for me and leaking from the bottom air holes, instead of looking for a fix or ordering new base, I just picked up a nauti mini instead. Sorry I got off track, back to the triton mini.
Here are IMO Pros and cons...
Pros- New Top fill design helps reduce the amount of wear on your threads, also much easier to take apart and fill on the go where you might need to do all in hand and not have a clean surface to lay anything on. (I can do a refill while in the car (no need to lay anything down simply untwist top with one hand pinch top between pinky and ring finger while holding mod with thumb and other two fingers, and fill with bottle with other hand) Top fill has two holes so that as juice goes in air comes out evenly (note this is with 65VG based liquids or lower) For most my blends I use 50/50pg/vg but also have used 35/65PG/VG liquids with no trouble.
Pro- Backwards and Cross compatible with Nauti mini atomizers
Pro- Option for TC Ni .15ohm coils
Pro- Can be used as a restricted DTL tank (this pro is somewhat subjective since not all MTL vapers like this)
Pro- again this one is subjective more airflow if you are looking to slowly venture into DL but can be tapered back to good MTL airflow unlike many sub ohm tanks which don't work for MTL well at all when put on most restrictive setting. Also, I changed out the stock drip tip which is shorter and wider bore for a more preferred drip tip for MTL with focus on flavor hitting my tongue (I really like the Bent drip tips for this), this further helps restrict the airflow for those who like true MTL like the nauti gives.
Pro- Changing coil is less messy due to the juice flow shut off unique top fill which allows you to close off the juice flow meaning when it's closed you can lay the tank down (even on its side though not recommended)and nothing is going to spill out while you putting a new coil in the base. I also feel like this juice cut off valve helps with other trouble shooting as well, example: accidently overfill tank a little, or got a little gurgling.. close off the juice flow, fire a few puffs, open it back up and usually it's solved the gurgling.
Con- Only holds 2 ml of juice
Con- Fill holes are slightly smaller than other top fill tanks, glass drippers are finicky when trying to fill have to go a bit slower. No issues with unicorn style tips or most standard plastic squeeze bottle tips.
Con- The coils do not support chain vaping very well. Due to the airflow design there really isn't enough airflow to allow both wicking and cooling.. you end up getting a very hot coil rather quickly if you're a MTL chain vaper like myself. (This may just be some sort of personal con I have, if anyone knows a good chain vaping tank let me know lol)
Those are my main Pros and Cons that I can think of right now, if anyone else see's something I didn't list please mention them.. this is by no means a full pro and con list, just the pros and cons I felt were important to me or in some way helpful for a potential nauti mini user looking at buying one.
As for the Triton mini coils, here is my experience so far...
1.8 ohm Claptons - Took me two days to get used to this coil, exceptionally long break in period compared to the nautilus mini 1.8/1.6 ohm coils (1-2ml break in) It took me two tanks (4ml) to break in this coil to where I was getting a good full bodied dense flavorful vape. I know as a nauti user when I seen the 13-16w range recommendations I was a little weary, I mean any nauti fan knows 7.5-9.5w is the sweet spot on a 1.8-ohm nautilus coil.. any hotter and you risk ruining your coil. Don't worry, this Clapton coil is perfectly safe and a great comfortable vape in the 13-16w range..my pegasus mini was reading 4.49v to the battery at 13.5w and for me personally, 13.5w is my sweet spot, i like a cool vape.. i tried to 16 but it was too warm for my own taste.
(Note when you receive your tank, remove stock coil, break it down wash it with burst of hot water, dry it and then put all back together and fill with juice, mine had machine oil residue in it and my first try at it tasted terrible, but taking it apart and washing it fixed the issue and no flavor probs after) I'm still vaping on my 1.8 ohm clapton coil @ 13.5w after 2 days, I have noticed a drop off of flavor but no bad taste, just a bit muted I have ran 21 mls of 50/50 strawberry milk through it so far, I think I might make it maybe 6-10 more ml and change it. I find every person is different in how they flavor gauge a coils lifespan. I might go a little more longer than some might, while a little less than others on a coil. But it seems like these particular coils on average last a MTL chain vaper 3-4 days which is not good on the wallet at 10 bucks for a 5 pack. This coil also sucks up more juice than a regular 1.8-ohm nautilus coil. I did expect this since a clapton coil essentially has more surface area for the juice to come into contact with and vaporize. I use inexpensive juice so this isn't deal breaker for me... However, the coil lifespan is kinda a downfall for me, if it stays true... I'll find out soon and post an update.
1.2 ohm Kanthal coil- I only did a test run of this one in my nautilus mini. I will say it does work, but I don't like it in my nautilus mini.. it just seems like the nautilus mini doesn't give it the airflow this coil truly needs. I noticed my base got pretty warm pretty quick, so I had to let it rest frequently between use to prevent popping a brand new coil. The flavor and vapor production was very pleasing I must say. More vapor than the reg 1.6/1.8 nautilus coils.. not really sure if the flavor is significantly better.. maybe better by just a little bit... I think if I put it in the triton mini which does have more airflow it might give a better profile of the flavor.. will update this also as I put it in the triton mini soon as my 1.8 clapton gives out.
.15 ohm Ni TC coil... Have not tried this one yet, will update soon as I do.. have heard positive reviews about it but I'm a little nervous going into TC.
A note about the Mod- I bought the kit so I am using the Triton mini on the Pegasus mini. My opinion of the mod... It's a great lightweight single 18650 battery Mod. It's simplistic in design, no fancy controls. 5 quick Clicks of the fire button to lock, 3 Clicks for Stealth mode, a wattage up and down buttons. It goes to sleep after 60 seconds of no use but Does NOT have an off button. I repeat stealth mode is not an off button. It will fire in stealth mode if Not locked. Stealth mode simply turns off the LCD screen so that you can fire the device and vape without any light coming from the device (I never use it since I don't vape anywhere that I would be concerned about the screen lighting up). The single 18650 battery fully charged lasted me 6mls of e-liquid vaping at 13.5w. For me, that was about 3/4 the day. I had to put the battery on the charger when I got home around 7pm and popped in a new battery. I recommend having 2 batteries so that you always have one fresh charged on hand and ready to go.
Sorry if this post was too long or got off topic in some places. This is my first ever post here and I was a bit excited.
TL;DR It's a nice tank to add if you're a fan of the nautilus mini and your primary vaping style is Mouth to Lung but you want a little more flexibility to start into some restricted Direct to Lung Hits.
