And if you still have the old stock ceramic, get rid of them, lots of reports about them being bad and dangerous (the ceramic leaches and can be inhaled). That's why they switched to cotton.

And if anything, get a better tank anyways, I can't stand the Nautilus. The most overrated tank ever made.

I have 3 Nautilus Mini tanks and all my BVC coils have small holes but as far as I know they have always been cotton for at least a year or more.

They are cotton. There were two versions of the BVC coils. The first had smaller holes that v2. The second version is still a pretty small hole, although wicking is usually fine.

The small wicking holes are either old stock with the bio ceramic cloth or BDC not BVC, these are the only two authentic aspire nautilus heads with the small wicking holes.
When aspire went from the ceramic cloth to cotton they had to enlarge the wicking holes to prevent dry hits / slow / inadequate wicking.
All authentic aspire BVC's are marked BVC on the body.

The large wicking hole are the only ones that use cotton.

Head on left large wicking hole (cotton wicking material)
Head on right small wicking hole ( bio ceramic cloth or counterfeit non aspire unknown wicking material)

There are massive amounts of fake/counterfeit nautilus replacement heads on the market.

Do clones follow the same rules? Do not even own a Nautilus but do have several K1s and ETs and decided to take a chance on Ebay knowing they would likely be counterfeit. (They are!) All the back and forth looking for price plus good feed back and did not notice my search got changed to the larger Nautilus coils. :(

My coils are not fakes or clones they are authentic and what I consider small or tiny holes others might consider larger. Compared to the Nautilus X or the PGOCC coils for my Pangu they are tiny. Every product I purchase I check the authentication codes and buy from reputable suppliers.

If you bought them in the past year and they are genuine aspire they are cotton.
