Hey need some advice? I've been vaping for about 2-3 months now. Started on a istick 20 w and a nautilus mini. Loved the set up taste.....but wanted more. This week I Sold that setup to a buddy and picked up a istick 50w and the kanger subtank. I have to say I was disappointed with the taste/flavor of the Subtank. I have tried rebuilding the subtank used both the .5 and 1.2 supplies atomizers to no prevale. It just does not give me the juice flavor of the nautilus. I would like to hear your experiance on the Russian 91 (I hear the flavor is awesome) compared to the nautilus. I am willing to spend the extra $ to buy the 91 and forgo the cost to replace the nautilus heads. Thoughts?

It's not necessarily true that Russian/Kayfun is awesome compared to mini Nautilus. Better, yes, awesome, probably not.

In reality, the Russian will work out cheaper, make a 'nicer' vape (i.m.o.) will add a little to the flavor and *importantly* you won't be using BVC coils.

I have both (2 of each)... once the coils have run out, I am going back to Kayfuns. It's been fun, but I don't trust the coils.

I use both. Some days I just don't feel like messing with rebuilding and I'll grab the Nautilus. I flip back and forth every few weeks.

I just bought a Kayfun 4 and I'm liking the new features compared to the old Kayfun/Russian. I have 1 authentic Russian and about 6 Kayfun clones. I don't see any difference except the amount of money spent. I've been pretty happy with most every device I've used.

To me the worst tank is just the one that's leaking at the time!

If you can get a GENUINE Russian 91%. The flavor that comes from the genuine Russian does not compare to the clones! Trust me, I have quite a LARGE collection of RTAS ( over 35 of them) most are a clone . I finally broke down and bought a genuine Russian for my collection and the difference was pretty amazing. So over the other recommendations I would definitely give the genuine russian a try if possible. It won't disapoint.

well the Russian 91% is an excellent atomizer, and if you build it efficiently the flavor and tha vapor production will be a massive upgrade over the Nautilus mini. However, moving from a clearomizer to a rebuildable tank has a steep learning curve. However you should not be intimidated by this fact, and try the Russian. There are many guides all over the internet, and i am sure you will be able to master it if you are patient with trial and error process.
