Alternative to Nautilus

[Sptz]

Hi guys,

Im not updated on the latest stuff in the clearomizer world but my gf has been using a nautilus for a while and the BVC coil doesnt inspire any trust on me nor that chrome chimney issue as well.

So, what are some good alternatives to it? No super open lung hitting subohmish tanks as she just vapes as you would smoke a cigarrete.

Thanks!

Pro tank 3? Or an Aerotank since it's got adjustable airflow like the Nautilus.

I like the GS Air. check out the thread about it.... its cheap too!

There's the Atlantis and the Subtank.
Contrary to the marketing hype, there's no such thing as a subohm tank, or at least it's misleading; subohm is in the coil that you put in the tank.
A tank designed with better insulators to accommodate high power is still better, whether you put a subohm coil or not.

Yes I know that but I never owned one. I've never been a fan of clearomizers, always used RDAs. She likes a tight draw, so, can you actually use the Atlantis like that for example?

 

[redddog]

Atlantis, subtanks (in all forms) and Melo are NOT for tight draw lovers.

Nautilus and Naut mini are about the best options. Never used protanks, Genis, Aeros or other Kanger stuff but still looking for the best tight draw tank myself.

 

[Fattlestar]

Protanks are chromed brass, Genitanks are chromed copper/brass. If you have an issue with chromed soft metal, avoid those as well.

Aerotanks V2 and up are all stainless, so those are an option to look into.

I was strictly a Naut/Naut mini vapor since the beginning, but I've pretty much converted to the Silo from Beyond Vape. It's a bit pricey (35, plus like 8 bucks shipping) but it really is a better version of the standard Nautilus, just upgraded.

One bigger hole to adjust to, and a nice metal casing around the tank. Otherwise, it's the same; uses Aspire Naut BVC's, (they make their own too, but you can use either) the whole thing. But note, I don't care for the Silo mini. If you're looking for a smaller tank, stick to the Naut mini. But if you want the 5mil capacity, get a Silo hands down. I actually came on this thread just in case there is better out there. But not sure there is for something that takes BVC's.

I would recommend either the subtank nano or mini as a good replacement to the nautilus, even with the 1.2 ohm coils. Wide open, i hit it like a cigarette. The flavor is great.

The nano is slightly skinnier than the nautilus mini. It looks great on an istick 20w.

Currently I'm rocking my nano with a 1.2 ohm occ on my istick 20w, a subtank mini on my ipv mini, and another subtank mini with a nickel build on my dna40. I'm currently comparing the flavors and temperature differences between them.

Honestly, skip the rest and move to something that's going to give her a better vaping experience for half the size than the atlantis (which is your next step if you stay in the aspire family), is easier to fill, easier to clean, and holds more liquid. The nano is the way I would go.


Also they're coming out with colored o-rings soon, so she can swap out the reds for pretty much any color she would desire.

Arctic Sub Ohm Tank (.2 and .5 Coils): http://youtu.be/X9fdkPAj-Ek

1).Kanger Aerotank or Emow mega--all stainless steel, coils easy to clean, dry burn, rewick, rebuild, whatever you want to do with them.
2) Eleaf GS Air tank. New kid on the block getting great reviews, and can be had for under $10--all glass.

 

[shreduhsoreus]

OP specifically says they're not looking for airy/sub ohm tanks yet people are still pushing the Atlantis and Subtank -_-

Contrary to the marketing hype, there's no such thing as a subohm tank

When a tank only has sub ohm coils as a replacement then yes, it is a sub ohm tank(see: Atlantis). The 1.2 ohm coils for the Subtank might not be sub ohm, but these are still not tanks that fit what the OP is looking for.



My vote still goes towards Aerotank, but I forgot about the GS. I've heard it's a pretty decent tank.

 

[jefx]

Yep. Can't go wrong with the GS Air. Especially for $9....... I much prefer it to my Nautilus Mini that I paid 4X as much for. I think people overlook the GS Air cuz it's cheap... But, IMO, it's a better tank than the fan favorite Naut Mini.

 

[jbeef86]

The SubTank mini can be adjusted to get a tighter draw. I use Nautilus minis and the Subtank Mini (1.2 coil) on my iSticks. I can adjust the Subtank to the biggest hole then just keep moving it covering up the hole until the draw is tight where you like it. This way just a little move and I could do direct lung hits as well.

It's all kosher. Cotton and plain old silica rope wick.

For autopsy results, click here. For a statement from Eleaf, here.

Great tanks--and very reasonably priced.

Just wish they had a 22mm version.
How many mods are 16mm-18mm vs. 22mm???
Most of those (above) are perfect for the 20w iStick, but I assume those will be phased out for .... (guess),
the 22mm base.

I was also on a quest to find my perfect tank/coil combination and so far have tried:
The Nautilus Mini
The Delta 19
The Subtank Nano.

I liked the draw on the Nautilus but was not keen on the chromed chimney or the material of the coils.

So I ended up with the Kanger Aeortank Mini (no glue, glass and all stainless, great built quality too) and some Aerotanks Mow for some color and fun for different set ups. I vape 100 % VG so the stock coils where not particularly good which is why I put in some Unicoils, ordered in the UK: Unicoil Virtual Vape Rewickable Cotton Coil uk It is easy to change the cotton yourself and I will either make an atempt to wrap future coils myself or try and persuade a local B&M shop to do it for me. These coils in the tanks provide me with quality materials as well as a tight draw and organic cotton coils in the combination and work for me as I did not like the draw on the Subtank at all.

I did not like the draw on the Subtank at all.

Subtank mini u can make the draw as tight as u like by adjusting the large hole
