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
