Any suggestion for a simple tank upgrade?

[brunal]

Hello everyone!

I have been an happy vaper now for 5 years. Like most of the old beginners I started with cartridges, blue foam, cartomizer and so on. Currently I am using Kanger tanks, T3, Evod 2, MiniProtank and Aspire ET-S BVC, with Vision Spinner VV but I am looking for an upgrade.
I am not looking for an RDA, nor big battery and definitively not sub-ohms. I'm looking more for a glass tank, adjustable airflow, large capacity, and the ability to see the liquid.
Thank you you all so much for any advice, and happy vaping!

Sounds like the full size Aspire Nautilus would be what you're looking for. 5ml capacity, glass tank, adjustable air flow and works well on the Vision Spinner battery.

I would recommend the Aspire Nautilus as well, just make sure to get the BVC coils.
The Eleaf Lemo is actually very easy to build and would save a lot of money on coils in the long run

The Nautilus has all day capacity.

I can highly recomend the Kanger Aero tank Giant/Mega. i friend of mine got one and i must admit.... its okay! with out jumping all the way to the subtank its well worth the money

Ditto on Nautilus. My favorite tank. Capacity, adjustable airflow, glass tank - can't go wrong! Juice tastes better in this tank, imo.

Nautilus or Aerotank (V2) would be nice upgrades for what you seek.

Aspire Nautilus is the way to go. Flavor and vapor production is excellent. I've got both Nautilus and Aerotanks and the Nautilus with BVC coils easily wins hands down.

Since it doesn't cost anything, JMHO:

If you really want to stay with your spinner, most anything in a "larger tank" will tend to be a bit awkward. I used an Aerotank mega for a while on a pen style and while it worked fine, it was top heavy in the pocket and on its side when I set it down. Not a deal breaker, but as I said a bit awkward. So if a "bigger tank" is your number one, a "bigger battery" may be a future want. That leads me to suggesting the Aerotank mega.

But, and their is always a but, right? Other then some awkwardness, I can't and won't say anything negative about the other suggestions. I know you have no interest in sub ohm or building, but the Kanger subtank mini fits all your desires. Just because the name is "subtank" doesn't mean you have to use sub ohm coils. Large glass tank, great air flow, not only easy to see liquid, but very easy to fill. Just use the 1.2 ohm coils and you are good to go, especially should you get a battery more aesthetically suited to a large tank.

So there is my (inflation) worth. The mega with the spinner or the mini should you up the battery, which IMHO is worth it if great airflow is a major want.

Good luck with your upgrade whatever you decide. Happy !

I'm kind of fond of my "scepter" - a VV v3 with a full sized Nautilus with the metal cage. Also, the open metal does still leave the liquid easily visible, even the completely clear one that I usually have in it, though it does reduce the volume some.

OLDER AND DIRT Thank you for your reply! If I decide to go with the Kanger Subtank and upgrade to a BB, which one you would suggest? Ileaf, istick, there are so many upthere, also, where I could get the coils 1.2? I tried once to build my own coils, but it was a disaster, unless there is some device that helps you to twist and test, they are not for me..thanks

I've only used the 0.5 coils, but just checked MVS I use some and they have the 1.2, so I would think you could get them pretty much anywhere.

I run my mini mostly on an IPV mini and works great. Also put it on a Sigelei 100W Plus at times, but that is a bigger box. I hear a lot of people using the istick and liking that. Lots of choices all of which I think are good.

Be aware that the Kanger Subtanks will be a vastly different experience than you're used to - and you may not like it.

Those tanks are for straight lung hits. If you're not used to that, it's awkward. I know people say that you can adjust the airflow but I have not really been able to get it to the right adjustment to result in a satisfying mouth to lung hit.

I'd also look into a couple of istick 30s. To me that's the best device out there for the intermediate vapers.

Currently, I'd recommend either a Peakomizer 2.0 (22 mm with a Nautilus BVC coil - from Kanvapes) OR a Cerotank Mega (22mm with a non-nautilus BVC coil - from ebay). These are both glass tanks that allow you to see your juice although the peakomzer is mostly covered with a sleave. You can see your level though.

Although I havent used a Cerotank mega, I really love the non-nautilus BVC coils and the Cerotank looks really nice. The Peakomizer's a bit long (though not bad) but it has top-filling which is great. Nautilus BVCs are a little more expensive but not really much of a consideration.

I personally think the Nautilus tanks are ....-ugly but others don't so it's subjective.

If I were you right now, I'd grab an Istick 30, a cerotank mega and some non-nautilus BVC coils. Maybe $75.

I agree with Redddog I bought 3 different brand subtanks and i am not fond of them, My favorite tank is a Eleaf GS Air awesome tank and cheap

Hello brunal! Welcome to ECF

I use a number of Kanger PT2s with the airflow bases. If you currently are using the dual coils, the PT3 would be the equivalent (get the airflow base with it). I just resurrected my Nautilus Mini this past week and have fallen in love with it again. Those tanks are all about 2.5mL. All should run well on the Spinner.

I do have a couple of Subtank Nanos, and as commented above, it's quite an airy vape (I'm mostly a direct-lung hitter)

Regarding devices to help you build coils, there are a number of coil jigs out there (I have one on order, but I currently wrap by hand right now. Just need an ohmmeter to check it before firing it.) If you're not interested, that's perfectly fine - all about what *YOU* want

Hope you find something you like!

Nautilus sound like the best fit, but I'll throw out an alternative, Ego One. 19mm 1100 or 2200mah battery, the Ego One with the 1.2 ohm coil has a mouth to lung draw and the option of using the 0.5s for lung hits. A 18mm subtank nano happens to go nicely with the Ego One battery as well.

 

[Hannypoo]

I agree... Nautilus. I have both an Aerotank (BDC) and a Nautilus (BVC), and the Nautilus is way better. Mine are the minis, though.

 

[gavcook]

i have to agree the nautilus is by far the best tank, i use the nautilus mini and i would never change it now its fantastic great flavour from it and great vapor production and is reasonably cheap too.

 

[redddog]

Or the Cerotanks or Peakomizers. Same coils, better design, more capacity, not ....-ugly.

Or the Naughties. Whatever you like.

this combo is very cost effective too!
$10 or less for the tank and coils are less than $10 for 5.
The ileaf line of isticks are a great value too.
