I have enough of NOTHING. I ordered enough nic for a couple of years & have maybe a year in my freezer. I need mods, batteries, charger, tank, coils. Pretty much everything. Trying to put it all together & ordered this weekend.

Mods and tanks, yes. Nic, yes. Premade and/or drop in coils, yes. Other stuff can wait.

Are those clones? As they sure don't look like Nautilus coils.

Yeah, the picture is not nautilus coils just the regular BVC coils. But they can't be shipping the regular BVC coils because the only resistance left is 0.7, which the regular BVC coils didn't come in. And neither did original Nautilus BVC coils as far as I remember.

What came in 0.7 ohms was the new nautilus coils (FT calls them Nautilus 2 coils) when the Nautilus 2 tank was released, which fit and work in the nautilus, nautilus mini and nautilus 2. Same body. I think that's what is most likely being shipped. Pic is just wrong.

I think Aspire had a BVC 0.7 (not nautilus) for the Spryte mod/pods. A store should know better than confuse them...

Hopefully that is the wrong picture... If not those look like the BVC Clearomizer coils (no top threads) but those did not come in 0.7 and clones for sure the foil is stamped with VIVIDSMOKE and the packaging does not display the contents name, to me the biggest it's a clone tip off.
Picture aside... It doesn't say if those 0.7 are the regular or mesh... Or that the 0.7ohm Nautilus BVC Coil is not compatible with the Nautilus AIO. The BVC coils can be confusing this site is not helping its buyers make an informed/correct coil purchase.

Me too. I need to do something about that. I'd rather increase my nic and cut my consumption in half than vape the way I do.

That's why I vape 18mg/12mg still. I used to get 18mg exclusively, but it's a little much even for me and I love a heavy TH. 0.5 ohm dual coils @ 30-35 watts.... 12mg. That's the sweet spot for me.

But I find it's more satisfying thereabouts and I don't feel the need to go back again and again. Usually go for a couple drags every 1-3 hours. Also consume a lot less liquid this way so it's economical. I vape between 1-3mL per day at most. Back when I was vaping 3mg/6mg I was going through 4-8mL per day.

My go-to NETs (when they were available :() cost $1 per mL so that was probably a motivator to increase my dosage :lol:

If anyone knows how to recreate Kind Juice Highway 66 I will forever be in your debt.

You'll increase your chances of getting what you're looking for if you post that question in the DIY section where all the DIY folks hangout. No guarantees, though. Google was of no help.

Yah. I can't really figure out what went in that one (they don't say) so I opted to get some DK Blend and some Cubano. Eh... I'm not that picky as long as it turns out as a decent tobacco I'll be happy. Looking into sourcing some organic leaf for my own NET extraction though. I'm thinking Virginia Flue Cured and some Burley Leaf. I guess it will be an interesting project to figure out!

    There’s a thread on tobacco extraction. Papawbrett knows a lot about it.

    hmmm ... I've been looking for some 22mm Nautilus GT mini's (not the 2ml TPD versions). Very few US vendors seem to have them, yet alone at a reduced price. If anyone bumps into a good deal on them please post it, or PM me.

    Or if you know of some other 22mm tank that takes the original Nautilus BVC coils that could work too. I never liked the original Nautilus tanks (although they were a favorite of my wife for a long time, I think they will be on their way to that other thread as she doesn't use them anymore). I've got a few Kabuki's but they can be a pain to refill and the glass is delicate.

    I've got some 24mm GT's and just noticed I never picked up any 22mm ones.

    I know I would buy if I really knew they were nautilus coils.

    About a month ago I was looking at my stash of mods and was wondering if I made the right choice in getting so many picos. I have a few of the different models of picos and I though, well what if things aren't as bad as they look and all this stocking up was for nothing? Then what if new picos come out and I like those more?

    But then I saw the new pico 2 and I was kinda relieved. I don't care for the look of it at all. Reminds me of wall tiles. lol And I don't like the fact that it's not straight on the broad sides. I prefer the un-curved flask look of the original style. Now I'm glad I got them when I had the chance.

    I think I'm done stocking up on wire and coils.
    Inventory:
    1210 feet of clapton through oct core, spooled wire
    200 feet of plain spooled wire, various sizes
    320 prebuilt coils, clapton through quad core
    200 prebuilt coils, clapton and fused clapton on the way thanks to AVS 70% off sale.

    I'm thinking that only plain wire will be easily available after the mail ban.

    It had been at least a year, since buying anything other than flavors. I was stocked, but since when did that stop us from that one last order, just in case?

    Tried KangerWholesale for the first time, and they get a :thumbs: from me.

    10 boxes of the Nautilus BVC coils (I settled on the Nautilus a few years ago, as my drop in coil alternative, in case rebuilding becomes too difficult in the future)

    Aspire Nautilus BVC Replacement Coil - 5PK ($7.80 / box)

    and 4 of the Aspire CF MODs

    Aspire CF MOD 18650 ($4.99 ea)

    Ordered Sun 3/7
    Shipped Mon 3/8
    Arrived Thurs 3/11 via UPS (over $75 so shipping was free)

    Maybe this will help explain it better...a little...



    I watched that video and it was helpful. One thing puzzled me. It's from 17, so the Asmodus battery analyzer has been around for quite a while. I thought it was a new thing.

    I've been doing the capacity test with four new batteries from the same batch to see how consistent the numbers are. It takes a long time though, it's well over an hour per run.

    I hit a problem this morning. It buzzes and vibrates when it's running. I figure there must be a fan or something in there to get rid of the heat from discharging the battery. First time I fired it up this morning it was making a loud screeching noise like something was spinning and hitting something else. I tapped it on the bottom and it stopped and started again a few times. After a few minutes it stopped and went back to the normal buzzing and vibration. Not a good sign after just a few days.

    I got a SkyRC MC3000 charger a little while ago which discharges batteries also. It has two fans and so far they have only run when I discharge a battery so I think you are right on. Discharging a battery inside a box has to produce heat, and that's what the fans are for.

    From your description I agree you've got a fan blade that's touching its cowling. If it were me I would get in touch with the supplier and see if they will replace the unit. Best of luck with it :thumb:

    Just put in what could be my last orders. Four Smok TFV12 Prince tanks and an iStick 30W from Element, three Kanger Top Tanks from Vapor Authority. Stainless everything I have more painted stuff in the stash than I should.

    Looked back on some of my old orders in 2019 on Element. We were getting some pretty good deals back then!

    I probably have enough to last the rest of my life. But, it doesn't matter because I just can't make myself order any more. I panicked and bought for years. I just don't have it in me anymore. So, it's gonna have to do.
