QUESTION: I've noticed people talking about the top o ring of the nautilus mini causing flooding if installed the wrong way. What is the correct placement of the o-ring? I had flooding issues and my o-ring had the indented circles up against the inside of the top of the drip tip top. I got a new tank today and was wondering if it should be facing towards the inside of the tank?

How long have you had your mini and who did you purchase it from? If it was a recent purchase, it would have been wise to contact whoever you bought it from and get an exchange. You shouldn't have had the problems you did, but then you may have voided your warranty when you damaged the hole. But I'd still contact the seller and explain the issues you've experience and be honest about what you did.

I got a new one today so I'll see what happens with this one. So far I'm having no issues with the new tank. The o ring has the indented circles facing the top of thr drip tip, not towards the lip of the tank. I'm not sure if I understand how the o ring should be positioned.

Yes, they are the right ones......if they actually ARE the one's in the picture. Annoying that they didn't call them Nautilus BVC Coils...tsk tsk., as most suppliers do so to differentiate them from the earlier Aspire non-Nauti coils that work with several, mostly earlier, tanks.

If you get frustrated in trying to find the best deals all at one place, try Discount Vapers. I believe they have both the mini Nauti and Nauti coils in stock just a bit more than the best sale prices I've seen.

I have a nautilus with a 1.8 ohm coil, when it first put it in it was reading 2.0 and now its at 2.2... Does this mean it's a dud and should change it out?

No, when I was using these coils, they often read different than their published spec. If it's vaping OK, there's no reason to get rid of it. If it's not vaping as expected, then I would get rid of it.

Where is the fault? Is the coil not accurate is my eleaf istick (50w) not accurate?

Yes, and I am not pleased.
They flood easier, and may be better for those who use really thick and sweet VG-based juices, but for others it's not an improvement at all.

There are actually three different versions of the Nautilus BVCs:
1: Small holes, wide grooves in the screw finger grip, thick electroplating.
2: Small holes, narrow grooves in the screw finger grip, thin electroplating.
3: Large holes, narrow grooves in the screw finger grip, thin electroplating.

The #1 is the #1. I can wash them and re-use them multiple times. With #2 and #3, the electroplating is so thin that it won't survive five minutes in an ultrasound cleaner, and becomes grey and metal-tasting during normal use.
I want to find someone who has a stock of the first type, because it's a far better product for my use, with PG-heavy non-sweet juices and cleaning and re-using the coils.

There's also 1.8 vs 1.6 Ohm varieties. I recommend the 1.8 Ohm, because the 1.6 Ohm ones can only be used up to 5V, which means they won't deliver any more wattage than the 1.8 Ohm ones which can go higher. The 1.6 Ohm ones also take longer to warm up, meaning there's a delay from you push the button until you get aerosol. If you have a battery that can't do more than 5V anyhow, and don't mind the extra heating time, the 1.6 Ohm might be good for bigger clouds. Otherwise, the 1.8 Ohm is the better choice.

There may not be a fault. As I said, the coils are not always exactly the ohm they say they are. The question is if it's vaping OK? If it is, you're likley just fine. If it's not, it may be a dud.

Can the people for whom these coils are working well describe how they vape?

1. MTL (Mouth to Lung) or straight to lung.
2. Wattage or voltage used.
3. Typical air hole setting.

I suspect these work well for the lung hitters at high wattage open airflow and not for the MTL smaller air hole low watt toodle puffers.
