Now I am new to all this but I have a Nautilus and after trying other tanks in the shop I could not see myself using any other tank. The air control lets me decide if I get flavor over smoke or smoke over flavor. Now it is a bit expensive at about $30 each but by the vaping Gods, it is amazing. I can't imagine not being able to adjust air flow.

As long as the tank in question has a full range of airflow (ie from very tight to very loose) there really aren't any cons, being that you have the flexibility to adjust the draw to your mood/liking (including matching the draw of whatever you're currently using). As mentioned, more airflow generally equates to more vapor/less heat (depending on build/power) and less equates to more flavor/more heat (again depending on build/power).

The only possibly con, i could think of, is an airflow control may add a slight bit of length to the tank itself.

I didn’t think I needed an air flow tank… until I got one. Now I have given all of my regular tanks to my husband. Different juices taste better with different air flow for some reason, and I like that I can adjust the experience for different times of the day (at night I like more vapor, in the mornings I need flavor). I prefer the Kanger Aerotank (my Nautilus was also donated to my husband). No real reason why, just preference. If you already have a Protank, just pick up the airflow adaptor for a couple of bucks.

Definitley try the air flow base, on any of the pt's 1+2 or mini, It's the best 5 dollar investment you'll ever make. They work with pt3's also but to tell you the truth I don't find a huge difference other that two coils more juice consumption, and more battery usage. about $15 for the PT2 and $4-5 for the afb $19 you have a aerotank for less. Of couse there's better stuff out there but at that cost it hard to go wrong.

On a Kanger the benefit is that the air flow path is moved from the 510 thread area to the inside of the AFC. Right off the bat, you solve the problem of the constricted air flow path without the AFC. After you install it, the airflow comes from the sides of the base right into the chamber where the coil head is installed.

These things are getting popular. I have it on my Protanks and it comes on the Nautilus and the Aerotank Mega. I also ordered one for the Genesis RSST. I became a believer with the Nautilus and the Aerotank Mega. Now, If I could just find out where you guys are getting the coil heads that last a week. Mine have been dying in less than 24 hours on the Nautilus DC heads and the Kangers that use the T3S or the T3D.

I finally bought a Kayfun 3.1 and may never vape anything else with any regularity.

Aspire has great airflow...but it's not enough to justify spending so much on coils that aren't any good. Go for the Kanger.
hmm.. thanks for this info. I just bought a Aspire yesterday.. so much better than what I was using.. but your post piqued my interest.. are the Kanger replaceable coils cheaper, AND better? 1 day after use.. I found if I was frequently hitting on this... I was loosing cloud.. Like I had to put it down for a bit, before I could use it again and get a good hit. I wonder if that was related to the Nautilus / or its coils?
