I have the mini and my husband has the full size. Actually it's his second full size because the first one leaked...so does his current one. It leaks from the airholes. It isnt all the time, so at first we thought it was temperature changes or something, but last night I refilled it and by morning it was dripping down his Seigeli box. it was sitting upright, not on its side. It isnt the coils in our case, because I can put his coil in my mini and there is no issues what so ever. Mine has never leaked one singe drop and it's just swimming freely around in my purse. I just bought him a mini that I will pick up tomorrow. i pray it doesnt leak because when they dont leak, he doesnt smoke cigs.

If your husband likes the larger tanks, like the full size Nautilus, then I would recommend the Silo. It uses the same BVC coils as the Nautilus tanks, has a 5ml capacity and I've had NO leakage with my Silo and it's my heavy use all day tank. Been using it for several weeks now and very happy.
My other goto tank is my Nautilus mini and I'm also very happy with it. No leaks or issues with it either. He should be happy with the mini. But if you're interested in something larger, then the Silo is a great choice. Not the cheapest tank but I think it's worth it. The only place I've found it is at Beyond Vape.

Thank you! I appreciate the info. I would actually prefer the larger tank myself. I am a much heavier vaporer than him. I have to fill my mini at least twice a day.
OMG!!! So I started to hesitate at buying the Silo based on cost and cost of shipping, especially since I just ordered him a mini Nautilus earlier tonight from a local place having a cyber monday sale ($22 for the mini), but I saw in another thread that Beyond Vape has a 20% off sale going through tomorrow! Code: Thanksgiving14. I ordered it
I'll just gift the Nautilus to someone.
I've had the leaking issues with my (3)minis and (2)regular nautilus. Different tanks and different times. The rubber on the base is sealing fine, I noticed that the leaking is pouring out from the bottom of the coil itself, leaking into the base. I searched and found a tutorial that might help (I haven't tried it yet). He closes the air hole off when he fills and then flips tank and opens to smallest air hole. I guess having the hole open is leaving air flow open causing the juice to get through the coil?? I'll try it next time I refill and see if it works.
I've just gotten a mini with bvc for my bday & only used about 18 hrs. Have already put both coils in due to 'motor oil' taste & leaking. Haven't bought replacement coils yet. ..What the Everliving Hell????? not cool! The threads on those 'authentic' replacement coils!!!! Like we don't have enough trouble battling all this insane equipment. Analogs are awful & I'm glad they're gone for me but...but vaping turns into a full time job cleaning, q-tipping, paper toweling, blowing into stuff, googling, you-tubing, forum-ing, debating, lurking at B&M & online vape stores..talking about vaping...I spend more time on all that than vaping. Way more money than on analogs totaled up. Crappy replacement coils don't lessen that for us & they have those of us not interested in rba's backed into a corner! In China & elsewhere they're rubbing their rich hands together in glee watching us pathetic vapers try to deal with the mess they created & get richer...sorry for the rant but jeez! And I'm still gonna do it though, of course! Analogs make me gag now..*shrug*

I have had whole 5 packs of BVCs that have been bad... personally, lately anyway it's been about 80% good to 20% bad. I still love them when I get good ones and they last me a good week or so
Not to resurrect an old thread, but has anyone else noticed the change in the hole diameter of the coil wick inlets?
To me it seems to be a millimeter or so difference, that maybe the increase in size is having a negative effect and letting too much juice through?
I had a whole tank on my mini empty itself out the deck inlets overnight while sitting vertical on my CF VV+.
