Aspire Nautilus on an Alien 220??

[Marybratti]

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone out there has tryed a Nautilus on an Alien 220 mod? I am quitting the nasty cigarettes and I like to vape at lower wattage so I can take long pulls mouth to lung. I heard the Aspire tank is great for that. But I was wondering if I can use it on my Alien. Right now I have the big baby beast tank on and I only vape at the highest 40 watts with the .4 coil. Thanks in advance would also appreciate if anyone has any other tank suggestions.

Sure it will work, I'd keep it in the 8w - 14w range.

Be sure to prime the head thoroughly, install in base , fill tank, thread together, let sit a few minutes, start off at a low power setting & work your way up, taking a vape or three on each setting.

You can use a Nautilus on that mod if you want.

 

[Marybratti]

Thanks. Would you have any other tank suggestions for me? I like to take longer harder pulls mouth to lung more like a cigarette. And I like a cooler vape

Welcome @Marybratti and I hope you enjoy your stay.

Di you mean the Nautilus Mini or the Nautilus? Both will work on most any MOD.

You might want to look at the Nautilus 2.0. Uses the same coils as the original nautilus, but has top fill which is way easier in my experience (otherwise you have to remove the top from the base and fill from the bottom). The Triton mini is a bit older than the Nauti 2, but is also top fill and uses the same coils.

There is a Nautilus X available that uses its own coils. Folks seem to like the 1.8 ohm coil that can be obtained for it. There is another new player reaching the market and that's the iJoy Elf, also top fill with some nice colors and drip tips if you like that sort of stuff.

I used some mini Nautilus' on my bigger mods for fun not so long ago. They worked.
I thought it would be good to revisit the tank after all this time.
t.b.h. I was disappointed.
The original Nautilus is not great in comparison to the latest tanks. It's not worth the price even.... (no, it really isn't worth the price)
If you are going down this route, try the Nautilus 2.
Alternatively, look at other offerings from Joyetech and Eleaf.

Yeah, that combo is fine. Normally, I use the cloud beast on my GX350, but every now and then, I throw it down to 18 watts and toss my Nautilus X tank on it.

Another tank to consider is the uwell crown. There is a crown 2 and a crown 3 that has just come out. But I like the original crown, the crown 2 seemed to have problems and the crown 3 is too new to know. I don't like getting new vape products when they are new. If you wait the company might work out any kinks or you hear people complaining so you know to avoid. Anyway back to the crown tank it produces great flavor with the .5 coils which is what I use MTL. They also have a 1.2 ohm coil I believe if you don't want a subohm. The .5 coil is dual stainless steel which I prefer. It can be used in temperature control mode or wattage whichever you prefer. The coils last at least a month for me and the tank never leaks. I don't even get condensation coming out the airflow slots even. All in all it is a wonderful tank and the best I've used. Also it can be used on your alien mod FYI so good luck and I hope you find a setup you thoroughly enjoy.

I second that about the Nautilus 2. One thing I realized is that it's easier and more efficient to take the tank off first to fill, even though it's a top fill. I find it makes it easier to loosen off the top section and when finished filling to tighten it back on. Idk if others do it my way too.

Thanks for all your responses. I was

So this has been the first day with the alien and it's stock tank big baby beast. I feel this is a very wet vape if you don't fire above 50 watts. I changed out the .4 to the .15 and it's marinating right now. I did go up to 50 w cause I was getting a juice taste in my mouth , not spitting but very moist. I had to take a q tip down the drip tip and was getting juice on it.

I've had a chance to try out several of the Smok coils including the 0.15 that comes installed and the 0.2 ohm triple whatever they call it, and I find I like the 0.4 ohm coil the best with a decent balance of flavor and juice consumption. I will tell you the experience with any of the Beast coils is nothing like the type of mtl experience any of the tanks mentioned in this thread will provide.

 

[Marybratti]

Right now I changed from the .4 to the .15 and I uped the watt to 60 with full open air flow and still getting wet hits

 

[ddirtyvapes]

I don't have it so I don't have firsthand experience and don't want to lead you astray, but I've got to agree with @Eskie that the iJoy Elf looks like a GREAT little MTL tank and takes Nautilus mini coils. I would definitely think about that if this set-up isn't working for you.

I like to vape at lower wattage so I can take long pulls mouth to lung.

Welcome and glad you joined. Reading between the lines, it sounds that you vape for max flavor.
Your battery is fine but the atomizer coil is where it's at. I vape deep well RDA's. Deep wells are like mini tanks and give the best taste available. Deep wells can be cleaned/new wicked in a minute and be ready for a new juice for the lowest cost. As to portability, air holes (rubber slip rings) and drip tips can be quickly sealed/unsealed to insure no leakage during transport.
(at 1.5-2.0 ohms and power at 6-7 watts. Great flavor)

Some will disagree, but I always got moist...giggity...vapes on the .15 coil below 75w. The .4 coil really shined for me at 45w, and the flavor and vapor production were better than my other small tanks at similar ohm/watts.

The new Nautilus 2 is an excellent MTL tank as suggested, and would work wonderfully on the Alien. Since you prefer lower wattages, I would definitely check that one out.

 

[Eskie]

The 0.4 ohm coil worked great for me at 40W. These coils have a pretty wide range they can run well in, so there's no hard and fast rule on using them. Play around until you find what works best for you.

As an aside, I mostly build and rarely buy factory coils, but I did end up with a pack of the 0.4 ohm ones after being very happy with them.

Right now I changed from the .4 to the .15 and I uped the watt to 60 with full open air flow and still getting wet hits

some of that may be due to wattage being low for those coils - not all of the juice is actually vaporizing
nautilus option will allow you to run lower wattage (much) and get a good MTL style vape
that whole beast series is essentially designed for DL style vaping and seems to cater more to cloud chasers, to generalize
at some point, if you look at building coils, there are a number of very reasonably prices single coil rtas that would provide a pretty similar or better mtl type vape also - augvape merlin or merlin mini off top of my head... gaia rta would be another - in those cases, you have a good bit more range of control over the coils based on wire used and actual coil build

bottom line - welcome! and howdy

I'm running a Digiflavor Siren GTA 25mm right now on my alien 220w with around 20watt but use it in TC and 210c (410f). Works really well. It's a MTL RTA even though you can run it as a restricted DL.
