High VG juices can cause a symptom like "chest congestion" it's called "heavy lung". Search Results for Query: heavy lung | E-Cigarette Forum Whether or not your issue is related it's good to know about it. Also if it's a little harsh you might want to consider dropping the nicotine level a bit. You can either buy lower nic juice, or buy zero nic in the same flavor and combine them equally will drop the nicotine in half. Now that you're "dialed in" with the nautilus, you'll likely consume more juice and therefore more nicotine. Go slow and enjoy the journey.

I have read about that and I wondered if that could be it. I only use 3mg or 0nic juice as it is. I switched to higher VG because the higher PG liquid I used irritated my throat. But I may have to go back to the 50/50. But...in the past I used high VG and didn't have issues. I'm going to see how it goes because my son has just gotten over ear infections and he may have shared some germs with me. Lol. But if it continues too long I will switch back to 50/50 and see if it helps.

Thankfully the chest congestion has started to go away. I may get some PG and mix it in with my high VG juice just to thin it out a little.

Does anyone have the mini iStick? I bought one for my mom and of course decided I had to have one as well. I actually quite like it! I love the size and how easy it is to stick in a pocket or carry around. I think I have finally found a set-up I quite like :) thanks for all the advice and suggestions everyone!

Kanger has the new Subox Nano coming out real soon. In Purple and Pink and includes the Subtank Nano. Fires up to 50 watts and is a nice pocket size with removable battery and pass thru charging. FYI just in case you get another case of shinyitis.;)

Lol. I'm sure I will. I have a friend that has a beast of a box mod that really likes the size of my mini iStick but she likes the removable batteries on hers and this one you are suggesting sounds right up her alley. I may encourage her shinyitis!

I also prefer the removable batteries. I am planning on picking up the Kanger Subox Mini Kit that comes in Black or White and with the Subtank Mini that includes a rebuildable deck. I saw them in my local B&M and the white one just looks too sexy not to have. $124 at my regular B&M and $150 at the new B&M down the road. Knowing I can order one online for under $60, only makes my local B&Ms handy for the occasional spare coil or battery or to see new product in person. I do occasionally find a reasonably priced tank to pick up though.

On the bending adapter for the Istick: it works really well, me and my girlfriend have them on all our Isticks with the nautilus mini, makes them real portable and at the same time protects your 510 thread....they are cheap so I would advice to get one :)

Boo! it only works on the 10 and 20 watt isticks. Currently waiting for my 30W to arrive.

I approve. Blue iStick 30w. My choice too!
I have a glow-in-the-dark silicone cover for it... it really glows... when it's dark... which is kind of the point.:)

My istick 30w just arrived and I'm liking everything about it except its slick feel. Now I must have a glow in the dark sleeve, myself. :w00t:

I currently have a Smok 1300vv battery that I use with my Nautilus mini's and Aspire ET-S tanks and I very much like this set-up. But this weekend we are having a VapeJam at the racetracks here in OKC and I am sure there will be many vendors there. I am thinking about getting a smaller box style battery that will work well with my nautilus mini tanks. I think the box style will work better for me when I go out because they look like they will sit upright and not fall over at the slightest shake of the table etc. lol. I don't need a massive amount of bells and whistles, but if anyone can suggest a good one that is smaller that can still easily fit in my jeans pocket that is not terribly expensive, I will be on the look-out at this Vapejam to buy one. Thanks!
Have you heard of the Pressa mod? Matt from suck my mod has a video review of it on youtube.
It looks pretty good, built in battery, does up to 40 watts if you'd like that.

There also is the istick 20w mini. That thing is tiny and does 20w which isn't bad.

I would love to have a sleeve for mine....any suggestions on where to get one? I don't like the slick feel either lol!

it *fits* onto the 30w but your tank doesn't fold down all of the way because of that little lip. :/

Just got one and I'm disappointed. :(

I wondered about that when I looked online for the bending adapter because the website I was looking at said something about it being for the 20W but I wasn't sure why, and now your post answers that. Boo indeed

Just as an update, I got the iStick 30w AND the mini 10W iStick and I love them both. The mini has actually become the more used of the two since it is very easy to carry around and put in my pocket etc. and they look great with my Nautilus mini tanks. They stay standing up on a table, have better power and options then my last battery. Super happy with my set-up now!
