I don't have to worry much about dry hits with my thinner high pg juice, but I do only lightly start the wicking with a few drops since I have this theory it's best to dry puff the juice in the tank to fully saturate the wick thus establishing a vacuum in the tank as the juice wicks in, which helps prevent gurgling on my nautilus mini's especially in the heat of summer. I may just have exceeded the socially acceptable word count for one sentence.I found priming the coil just led to flooding, so I don't bother anymore, just fill a tank and let it sit for 15 minutes, and this is with max VG juice and the 1.8 coils. No dry hits. It's weird that I don't have any problems when others do. Go figure . . . .
Ok, thanks for answering. To each his own, my friend, to each his own... I'm stuck in the 80's and iting rocks!
I believe the P3 Nautilus has been discontinued, so; you will have to hunt around.

I do the same, except at 12 watts & no drop in the center, just the side holes.what, what?? You break in your coils using low wattage? I just put some drops on the side intakes, one in the center and let it sit for 5 minutes...and then proceed to hit it straight away with my shockingly high 14w......no issues in taste or anything else....I use the 1.8 coils.
Juma55,If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the Nautilus P3? I need one more and cannot find one anywhere except a ProVape dealer is South Africa, to whom I've written. I hope to hear from them tomorrow. Assuming the price and postage is not outrageous, I'll buy. But if there are other dealers out there, I'd sure like to know. Thanks.
Of COURSE I can make those... How many would you like... about $120.00 ea.

I just put in a new coil, check it connected and fill 'er up. Then I let it sit & soak. Never had any problems either
I'd pay 120.00 bucks in a heart beat for one of your SS tanks engraved as below. And then add the option of an Obsidian ZenKote....would be a thing of beauty.

I would like Army on one side and Air Force on the other...That would actually be a whole lot cheaper than $120. Probably half that price. Obsidian ZenKote[emoji769] would probably not happen, but Gun Metal could.
Juma55,
I believe my local B&M still has a few P3 Nautilus tanks in stock (they had a couple the last time I checked). Unfortunately I don't see them on their website probably because they have been discontinued. I'll go by there today and verify that if you want?
ETA: Just saw your post above. I can still check if you want, but sounds like you are golden.

SO... Zen~ has insisted on the following disclaimer, to be posted here, without alteration, his words... not ours...
"These Poly Tanks scratch easily. I didn't want to make them, they made me do it, but I positively guarantee that every last one of these is scratched, and I'm not apologizing because I didn't want to make them in the first place."
Thank you Zen~! Many of us need this, I too would 'prefer' glass, but find it too fragile...
the only reason i haven't bought one.If Zen would offer a RBA deck I would probly order a Kabuki..I like rebuildables...[emoji106]
