Are you using BDC or BVC heads?
Are they authentic aspire replacement heads verified via the scratch off security code # on the box entered into the # checker area of their site?
Are you properly priming new / unused heads?
Did you use a new head for the new flavor or a used head that had remnants of the previous flavor?
What power level ( v or w ) are you using?
IMO, the mvp2 is right on the edge of being under powered for a nautilus bvc.
Are you getting juice in your mouth? Leaking?
Is the new juice the same pg/vg ratio and the same nic mg?

Hey I know this seems pretty obvious but when I have a problem like that I typically throw the wattage low (like REALLY LOW) and slowly work my way up. If there still is an issue I would say let the juice steep for at least 4 days in a dark dry environment (Fruity juices almost ALWAYS need to steep after purchase)

I'm not sure which ones they are whatever the nautilus mini comes with is what I've been using it came with one replacement cool, no leaking just taste is very faint and doesn't last

Damn 4 days! I never knew that that could be why it still doesn't have much flavor! It seems to work a tad better with the lower wattage thank you!

After thinking about it I think that the problem might be your cotton. Usually stock heads have a really dull flavor. When I got my first tank I had very little vapor production and a very feint taste, but after going to the vape shop and having them build new coils and wick the vape had 1000X more flavor and much more vapor. You might as well try going to a local shop.

Okay, we can assume they're bvc, did you verify the scratch off security code#?

For me to be much help I'd need answers to the other questions.

Then I'd have a few more.
Yeah I did it's legit, thinking what that other dude said about the stock coils! I've tried cleaning it messing with wattage to no avail, don't mom what to do now no vape shops open here in stupid pa

There is nothing wrong with the stock heads, thousands use them and are quite happy.

Are you properly priming new / unused heads?
For them to work correctly they have to be primed before use. If you don't prime them they will scorch which will severely reduce wicking ability.
Reduced wicking ability causes low vapor production and light to no flavor or a burnt taste.

Did you use a new head for the new flavor or a used head that had remnants of the previous flavor?
Cleaning them rarely does much good & most times does more harm than good and they have to be dry (24 - 48 hours) before priming & using again.

What power level ( v or w ) are you using?
IMO, the mvp2 is right on the edge of being under powered for a nautilus bvc.
I use 12.25w ~ 18w / 4.6v ~ 5.7v when using a nautilus with bvc heads.

Have you experimented with the airflow control?

Is the new juice the same pg/vg ratio and the same nic mg?

When you switch to a new coil beware of the burn in period. Always dial the power way low to start and work your way back up to where you like it over the course of the first tank. And the only problem I've had with stock coils is sometimes the o-rings on the bottom aren't big enough. My first mini flooded immediately and I forgot to check today when I purchased a new full sized nautilus. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the juice out from between the outside of the base and the ring that turns the airflow. You can see it when switching airholes. I swapped the ring with one off of an old coil that came in the package and it's working great. Never had a single issue with any of those ones. Just the ones that come with the tank for some reason.
If you've got a spare coil, they usually come with 2. Take a pic and show me. It should say BVC right on the coil if it's a BVC, but there's two kinds of BVC out there, the old school ones and the cotton ones, and I can tell which is which by the size of the holes in it. The more info we have the better we can hopefully help.

Thinking I burned them out I didn't kno I should use it on a low wattage first, I always let it sit for a while and dry vape it here and there but I didn't know I should let it saturate that long dang now I gotta buy new coils :(

I just got my new mini aspire. It seems to be working great. Haven't had any issues at all. I am using it with my Eleaf 30 W setting at 3.6 Watts. I used to have issues when the wattage was too high, burnt flavor, etc. Just a thought. Good luck.
See my mvp only goes up I think 11.5 or 11 at first my nauti mini was working great! I think I may have burned out the coils :( thank you for your input!
