I knew there was something like that going on, I just had the tank wrong. Thanks!
For those who have a Serpent Elevate, what length did you cut your coil legs? The coily tool they enclosed has a big arrow on the 6 mm, so I'm assuming that's what they suggest. However, in Shawn Hoffer's top air RTA thread, he said his was marked at 5 mm. So which is it? I just got this a couple days ago and really want to put a build on it.
There was a small company that made one, but it was a fail. Not only did they release it way after the Nautilus was in it's prime, but the version 1 of the RBA had problems and was super hard to coil. So then they made a version 2 and it was a fail. Then they made a version 2A. Not sure if the version 2A finally got all the kinks worked out as I never bought it. But by that time there were probably very little Nautilus users left because that was when all the 30W mods started to inundate the market and along with that came some new generation tanks that kinda made the Nautilus a ghost from the past.
They still have a website, but no shopping cart to buy. I would not even bother contacting them if I were you, they probably don't have any more but it wasn't worth it anyway IMHO. I bought V1 and V2 and they have long since been given to my garbage man.
The only reason I'm interested in this VSS RBA is because I have quite a few clearos that it fits in (which would make them usable on the cheap in a vapocolypse scenario) and because of the "goal post" design, same design used on the subtank RBA. This "goal post" design should make it much easier to coil even though it is a small space. Otherwise I would never be interested in such a small RBA.
Congrats! Im someone who very rarely wins anything also. I won an Aegis X kit a couple months ago, made my month. It's a good feeling, enjoy your win.
Anyone tried the aegis boost yet. Thinking about some of those for run around mods & for the back up box. I’m a DL vaper so pods have not worked out for me so far, but this one looks like it may be OK.

Thanks for the info. I would have given them a shot if they were available.
I have several Nautis in the box and enough coils to keep one going for about 5 years. I still like them. They are what I took on a vacation recently.
I've rebuilt stock coils. It's easy to do but I never got them to where a rebuilt coil was as good as a stock coil.
Well thanks for saying this I went and found a vid on how to rebuild the coils. Will def be giving it a shot. It doesn't seem all that much worse than several other coil rebuilds I have done in the past.
Edit: Actually debating picking up a Nautilus tank or 2. That might be easier for the hubby to change than the BB. Also with the higher ohm coil it would work on the Provaris.

The thing I didn't like about Nautis was the glass tank. Too easy to break. My grandson broke several. I use cage tanks. You can pick up a base, a cage tank, and a drip tip for less than the cost of a complete regular Nauti.
Nautis are the only gear I've got that I don't have to make coils for and that seemed like a good idea for future situations where I couldn't make and install coils. I wish I could stock up enough heads to make them future proof, but that would cost a ridiculous amount of money. I save old heads for rebuilding but if my hands or eyes were going out that would be even harder than making regular RTA coils.
I placed an order with vaporider the other day out of fear FT wouldn't restock the Vaux clone,, VR had a glassless tank atty,, but I go to check on the status of the Ft vaux and its ready to ship!!!!!
Vaux is a Vicious Ant product,, which seems to be a more premium product - more outside of America,,, this clone is my fav squonk atty,,. The design of the air chimneys makes all the dif in flavor and clouds. The tallll air chimneys also protect from leaking unless you seriously over SQUONK
Deep well deck thanks to tall chimneys,, is about 2-3 mls, im guessing,, add that to the capacity of the squonk bottle,, and your golden even driving,, the problem comes in that flavor & cloud chaser tend to use more eliquid,, the atty is addictive! It lives on my Reos P67
4th photo on ft $4.42 ( you need to read notes to buy the squonk pin)
$4.42 VAUX Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - stainless steel / 24mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Clone quality- this seems 1-1 except the real one has black letters FT has the engraving but not blacked in, ft doesn't show it but mine also has VAUX written on the AFC ring
You can buy this atty from vicious ant for $10 + $50 shipping to the states!,,,,, $5 from China sounds better .

Would you believe my ancient protank (like the first run of them) is still in good condition and working? I am pretty easy on glass. My choice honestly would be to use it in the BB. Not sure how the hubby will do with that one.
I am thinking between the protank and one Nautilus tank I can get relatively easily set up on coils so he can handle it. I will also prebuild every RDA and tank I have that is buildable so all he has to worry about is filling em. With the squonkers that is easy.
I did need a backup tank that I can stick a high enough ohm coil in that it would run on my Provaris.
Just found a pile of T-Dux 3.0 tanks from years ago along with like 50+ coils that I didn't remember I had... going to snap on an ego adapter and pawn them off to the wife, she doesn't mind the old stuff... lol

Speaking of NRG tanks, Eightvape has the the Vaporesso Baby Tarot kit, which includes the smaller NRG SE tank, for $12.99 right now, before any coupon codes. The Baby Tarot is full featured but has a built in battery. Still a nice way to get the tank and have a handy mod to use in the near term or gift for a vaper.
Edit: Price now up to $14.95 from an hour ago. Eightvape deals are as predictable as Michigan weather!

Nope I have been sub ohm rebuildable only since probably late 2015. SO lots of tanks I skipped entirely.
Edit I was thinking the Nautilus since I am grabbing coils for it to run in BB anyway. Not starting a whole new thing I need coils for. LOL
I've been vaping almost 7 years now and have pretty much only used glass tanks... and have never broken a piece of glass. *Knocks on wood repeatedly*
Nautilus heads should last a couple of weeks if you don't overwork them. It wouldn't take many to get you through a period of not rebuilding. Especially if you have a collection of RTA's ready to go.
You need to get hubby trained up in advance though. Make him do it over and over until he gets it right. Husbands love that.
