Small update here. I've come to the conclusion that plainly the Nautlius sucks, the kayfun is just good, and the Lemo Drop was made to vape Nicoticket. On a 0.9ohm coil at 13w (first build with Lemo, using the supplies it comes with) the flavor is SO MUCH BETTER. Can't wait to get a better build for my NT jooice. That being said, even though CLS is now definetly a good vape, I don't think I'll go for it again any time soon. Even though it now tastes very good, Virus and Wakonda destroy it for me.

I concluded from my experiments that 1) CLS completely destroys Aspire's BVC's. They would last 2ml before the airflow on max sucked and at the 3ml mark I had to change it. 2) CLS needs heat. over 13/14 watts is too hot for me, but I find the flavor better the higher I go.

Also, I wanna some credit to Clark... he contacted me privately to discuss the batch my CLS came from and even updated me telling me that it tasted on point albeit it could use some steeping and in general was interested in helping me achive the vape I wanted. I forsee weekly monday purchases from me!

I appreciate the candid feedback! This is really kinda where I am at on any specific liquid - I confess, I don't like every NT liquid in every device. I (personally) don't like ANY of my bakery vapes in a Kayfun (until I tried Dave's Frenilla this weekend in a Kayfun, which was obnoxious good) - I'm pretty sure it's my building skills on the Kayfun... I generally only vape Betelgeuse and Gravity in the KFL (and even then it's a struggle because I have to rewick every couple of tanks)

I have played with all the liquid in the Aspire Mini with BVCs and gotten mixed results - I'm unsure if it's inconsistency on the coils or what, but sometimes it starts great and turns to crap fast - sometimes it starts crappy and improves with time. Overall I still recommend the Nauti for the simplicity of it, but it's still a long shot from a dripper.

I have some "sweet spots" in specific drippers for specific liquids - but - keep in mind... I'm a total juice snob. I really enjoy a top flight vape, and I don't vape anything less. I've tried a TON of "other liquid" here lately, more than my fair share - it would suffice to say that I am really pleased with how our liquid stacks up against the wider market... BUT - it really did take some time for me to figure out which liquids performed best in which devices, and under what conditions. Example: Strawnilla - I love it in the Quasar strapped to a fresh 18650, .45-.5ohm dual micros - but, I can pretty much tell when that battery hits 3.5v cause I can't taste it anymore. LMAO

Yup definitely your build, it's no surprise that the Kayfun is one of the most popular toppers. I have 4 KFL+ v2s' and your juice tastes great in them, both bakery and tobacco, at least to me.

Bring a KFL to Lexington. I can show you a build that will get you a solid starting point to tweak on.

I'm vaping a mixture of 3 parts CLS with 1 part CB in a KFL+ right now. Yummo! Leaps and bounds improvement over the Nauti - for me, anyway. My build is really basic: 1.2 ohm coil (Kanthal) 28 guage with KGD. Vaping at 10.4 watts with 2 Boost on a P3. YMMV, but mine is wonderful :)

I have to mix the stranilla with something otherwise all I taste is creme after a couple of vapes (which I've said before and probably will say again) which is why mixing it with gravity or betelguise works really well for me. I actually get the strawberry in addition to the rest of the flavors, and then a cremy finish.

When Strawberry Symphony gets released again, you can add that. Strawnilla is Frenilla with Strawberry Symphony.

Some of us NuTs might not be able to make that trip. Could you maybe post some pics:D

Next time I break one down, I sure will. It is not just the wicking, there are a couple of things you can do on the coil portion of the build that really does a lot to help flavor.

Here's a link to Rip Trippers micro coil build on a Kayfun. It should get you started!
