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.
Which cool would you recommend?

For the most part, the original version of the BVC coils have been depleted and most all popular shops now have the new cotton with large liquid ports. That said, when buying a new Nautilus tank there maybe a few out there that still include the ceramic style wick and small ports. Either one works fine.

Here is how I deal with a new coil. I first remove the coil from the package then I select the liquid to be used and I place 3-4 drops of liquid down the side wall and allow the wick to soak it up, just a matter of seconds. I then place one small drop over each of the 4 ports on the coil side casing. Install the badboy and vape away!:D

I read you are using the MVP 2.0, that device only goes to 11w and at 11w there should be no reason the coils are being fried based on the power. So the issue lies with you allowing enough time, based on the ratio of liquid used, to re saturate the wick.
Say the juice is 50/50, I would allow more time than if using 70PG 30VG and if using 100% PG even less time.:)

The Nautilus is best at or around 13 to 15 w for full flavor/vapor

Ok
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.[/QUOTE I'm gonna go as soon as I can today, what coils do you reccommend getting?

I don
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?
i don't think I was properly priming them, nor did I wait 48hrs after I cleaned it to put it back on, that's what I think it's my coils.. Do you think I need a stronger battery? It's the same liquid from the same company just a different flavor
