No, you should go higher, if you can, on the Cleto. I looked and didn't see a higher resistance coil that the 0.4, but I didn't look super hard. I am not sure a higher resistance coil is available though. Generally, (though other factors play a role) the LOWER the resistance of the coil, the higher the vapor output (though wattage, airflow, and even types of juice play a role). If you can't get to non-choking status without making those adjustments (less air, less wattage, USUALLY equals less vape? But sometimes not enough to make it work?) this particular tank may not be for you. I doubt it's your nic level though what did you use in your Nautlius tank? Was it 2 m.g. or higher? If it was 2 m.g. I'd try some 0 mg nic juice to see if it's the vape that is making you choke, or the nicotine. But 2 m.g. is fairly low for DL sub0hm setups, or certainly in the range of many users.
By comparison, your Nautilus coils would have been 1.8 or 1.6 resistance. Anything below 1.0 resistance is considered sub0hming. Since these are prebuilt coils you can't really try TC to see if it evens out the vape for you. I'd try making some adjustments, but if you can't make it work I'd try a different setup, maybe something CLOSER to 1.0. The Nautilus 2 0.7 coil is a great coil, it offers good flavor and an excellent vape. Those coils should have come with your Nautilus 2 by the way, so you'd have greater tank size, but still be sub0hming, technically. It is a different kind of experience than the 1.8 or 1.6 coil, for sure, and you can DL it pretty easily without issues, I have found, especially by opening airflow and slightly higher wattages than I use for DL. You could try that coil to see how you like the vape, it would be a fairly inexpensive experiment, unless you've already used it? The 0.7 coil does burn through more juice, especially in that relatively small tank, so yeah, refilling can be a pain. You could vape lower than 10 watts on the Nautilus 2, if you are using the 1.8 coil, I run mine at 7 watts. Get plenty satisfactory vape.
The only other issue I could think of would be your PG/VG ratio. If you are running high PG in a sub0hm tank, the vape will be harsher and you may get more of a throat hit which may also make you choke. Many people sub0hming use 70 VG or higher.
If you are burning through coils, there are some factors to address there... Sub0hm tanks are created to last longer as they tend to use more juice, they are often more expensive as they last longer and are designed for high juice flow output. That being said, the 0.7 coil on the nautilus 2 lasted me about 9-10 days, which is decent. The 1.8 coils lasted about 5 days, but I have lots of gunking factors: I can't use PG, so I am at Max VG, when I used darker colors or more sweetener my coils burned out fairly fast. I DIY with less flavoring and that helps, I also often will add a bit of distilled water to thin the vape as I can't use PG as I have an inhaled sensitivity to it. Also I do reuse/recycle/rinse my coils for better life, as it's easy to do, and a second run gives me an additional 3--6 days depending. I simply soak in hot h2o overnight, then clean and rinse, leave outside to dry (I live in AZ, low humidity) and reuse once, to save on coil costs.
I bought a Kabuki V2 to use recently as I really enjoy the Nautilus 2 but was really hearing that it was the "best" MTL tank for flavor and I find it is, as well as not having to refill as much 3.0 juice capacity, Nautilus 2 AT BEST is about 1.7 ml due to the "fill line" and the airflow is different. I have a BVC Nautilus coil in there that came with it, and I can't get it to die. I've even tried coco (I have some new temp control coils I want to try) and the coil lives on. I know I could just switch it out but I'm curious to see how long it lasts.... But I was surprised by this outcome, and glad I got the Kabuki as it's similar to the Nautilus 2 and SO MUCH better, very adjustable airflow so you could certainly use a 0.7 coil in it I guess and have more airflow to get the sub0hm experience, as it were.... The originals aren't cheap, but the clones get decent reviews too and they ARE cheap, so it might be an experiment worth doing. I'm glad I got the original first though, I simply love it.
Good luck Cheri411. Sorry for the novel.
