Already broke my NEW e-cig!!! :(

[mashad]

Hi everyone! I just broke my BRAND new tank.. I've been considering just buying a new e-cig and go bigger instead of replacing just the tank, but I'm still a newbie so I don't know if I will be able to tell the difference. The tank is a nautilus mini from aspire. Is this one best for newbies like me? Anyone have any recommendations on what to get, and why? Should I just stick with this e-cig?

Thank you! Mashad

What e-cig battery do you currently have. Did you drop the mini Nautillus and break the glass tank? If so, you can just replace it with this: Stainless "T" Tube for Nautilus Mini

I'm not a clearo fan, so I can't tell you about the nautilus part. Everyone will tell you a different thing is best based on their own experience.
My suggestion for everyone is to have a box of cartomizers laying around for those 'just in case' moments.

You need to brake things down tho', there is the battery, and then there is what you put on the battery.
So what battery do you have?

I don't own a nautilus or have much experience with them, but if I did I'd get the steel replacement tank for it. It's a steel tank lined on the inside with glass so you can still see the liquid level.

A quick search found this:
Stainless "T" Tube for Nautilus Mini

Just wanted to say sorry you have broken your tank! ! I broke one of my favorites the other day too! I use RBAS 100% of the time so I can't recommend anything that's not rebuildable . I just wanted to pop in and say I'm sorry this happened!

No biggy, just grab a replacement glass (or one of the stainless steel options) and you're all good! It happens to the best of us.

The Nautilus is a great tank, the BVC coils work great. It's good for both a novice and an advanced user.

You can buy a replacement glass or metal insert to replace the broken globe. I did the same thing to one of my first tanks, crushed it next to a set of keys in my pocket. The nautilus has its share of quirks and coil issues but is a great tank for flavor when it is hitting correctly.

Aspire Nautilus Mini Replacement Stainless Tank $9.99 - VividSmoke.com

You may be able to find the tank replacement cheaper than this, but you get the idea.

Thank you everyone for the support, advice, and recommendations! I left my vape at home today so I can't tell you exactly what the battery is -- I want to say eGo or evod? I also have a longer one and a shorter one which were both given to me as a gift -- and which is why I feel AWFUL to have broken it already.. ugh! So yes, not sure what the battery is, but I know for a fact that the tank is aspire nautilus mini as I received it in its package. I will look into all of the suggestions that you all have given me. Thank you so much!!!

No worries. My friend breaks all his gear. Down right rough on his tanks.

I had the same thing happen to my full size Nautilus, knocked it over on my desk at work and it shattered everywhere, since then I bought a metal tank and haven't had any problems, for what it's worth, the Nautilus is been by far the best clearo I've found to date, although I don't use them much anymore, my 2¢

Hi Mashad,

So sorry to hear your nautilus mini breaks. For a starter I'd say you stick with that tank (until you find where your own preferences), Nautilus mini is a good simple no-hassle tank, it's been my favorite for a while. You can buy replacement glass for $2 (2-pack, translucent) here : https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10009224/1817202-replacement-glass-tank-for-mini-nautilus-atomizer
Just for your info, those glass tanks also available in few different colors.

Since you broke the tank, perhaps you could also consider tanks that more durable (glass with stainless sleeve to protect) like
- RGM2 https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10006714/1535302-rgm2-bottom-coil-clearomizer-2-0ml
- Smoktech Aro Pyrex https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10007487/1632808-authentic-smoktech-pyrex-aro-clearomizer-2-5ml

Note that I only suggest you to try the glass tank as it's safer/won't crack with certain liquids (mostly that contain triacetin)

As for the battery (ego/evod) for now it doesn't matter as long as you happy to use it, keep it for the time being.

You have the privilege to start a wonderful journey of vaping, might as well start slow and enjoy what's best for you. I (and everyone else here) could only give you directions and options available, so you can choose and start your journey.

[If the following below is too details you can skip it, I only post it for reference]

There are lots of options if you want to go details here :

Tanks (some categories could be overlapping) :
- Clearomizers (clear or partial clear tank, whether it's glass or polycarbonate/pmma/plexiglass)
- Cartomizers (mostly clear tank too, but specifically use carto coil)
- Rebuildable Atomizers (Kayfun, Taifun, Ithaka, Fogger, RSST, etc.)
- Dripper (Magma, Origen, Igo series, etc.)

Battery-body :
- Regulated / Advanced Personal Vaporizer : Innokin SVD, Sigelei, Hana DNA series, Eleaf iStick, etc. (most of them are box or tube style)
- Mechanical : Nemesis, Stingray, Astro (no electrical parts), need separate battery and charger
- Ego/evod : different battery capacity (900mah, 1100mah, 1300mah) sometimes with voltage selector and/or USB passthrough charging

Battery type (popular) :
- 14mm diameter series : 14500, 14650
- 18mm diameter series : 18350, 18500, 18650
- 26mm diameter series : 26650

Coils Type :
- Rebuildable (single, dual, triple, quad, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, etc.)
- Stock coil (kangertech, smoktech, aspire, etc.)

Wick Type :
- Cotton (facial, japanese, ramie, etc.)
- Silica (braided, twisted, etc.)
- Mesh (400, 800, etc.)

All of these combinations could make a different experience (especially coils, wick and liquid type).
