Aspire Bottom Vertical Coil and Nautilus Mini

[erikbal]

Well I got a little surprise from the mail man today and my coils came a day early! I haven't had much time to test it yet but so far so good. First one out of the package working great. This is how the nautilus was meant to be. In using a new flavor so I can't really comment on the difference but the flavor is good along with vapor production. I still never get the vapor production I see in the reviews out of any device but I'm satisfied.

So despite my misgivings about the window shape of the Stainless Nautilus Mini being comparable to certain external male organs, I went ahead and ordered that and the mini Nautilus from Kidney Puncher to go with the BLEM Satin Silver PProVari mini I ordered as a backup.

I love these coils, been using them for a few days now, and they definitely blow the performance of the BDCs out of the water.

Though I'm concerned, I've got two different new BVCs in two different original Nautilus tanks and there is a discrepancy.

These coils are rated @ 1.8 ohms from the manufacturer, but the first one out of the box is reading 2.0 ohms on my ProVari

The second coil is reading @ 1.9, so these are clearly mass manufactured, and not exactly to the strictest standards.

With the first coil, I got an overload reading when I tried to hit 5.7 volts. Vapes @ 5.5 just fine though.

With the second coil, I hit about 5.4-5.5 volts before getting an overload reading.

Still, these coils far outperform the BDC's. With the BDC's I rarely went above 4.0 volts.

Though with these new coils, I seem to get a bit of a soapy taste. Anyone know if this could be caused by the filler/wicks?

Anyone know if the Nautilus BVC coil assembly will fit on an Aspire ET-S BDC? I'm using 1.8 ohm BDCs on an Aspire ET-S, and the vapor tends to run hot, with muted flavor to boot. Something like the Nautilus BVC sounds like it may work well as a replacement. I believe there may also be BSC replacements for the Aspire ET-S and other earlier Aspire BDC models.

No as far as I know they only fit the Nautilus and the mini.

Oh and I have to agree with others, these coils definitely drink some juice. I can almost watch the level drop lol. It's ok it's a fair exchange for a good vape.

This is like back to the future, it's a cartomizer and it took them so long to get there. Kanger will be next with their vertical coil wrapped in a polyfill material, closely followed by Innokin and remember to check your serials guys as the Shenzhen mammoths start grinding out clones, I have to have a vape, too much excitment.

I gave up on hoping the Aspire Nautilus BVC head would fit an older model Aspire BDC. So I just bought a Nautilus Mini from evape.us for about $22. So low I paid $2 extra for expedited shipping ($5 total S&H). Unfortunately, they do not yet have BVC replacement coils in stock, so I couldn't put those on the same order. I can hardly wait to try it out on my one iTaste vv v3. I've never seen pictures of one of these on that model iTaste, so I may post pics if I end up happy with the new setup. I've gone a little crazy with buying new e-cig stuff recently, and really need to slow down.

That just seems to be the way things go when I'm trying out new equipment. Previously I have been using an Aspire ET-S on the iTaste. Vapor and throat hit were good, but flavors subdued, and the vapor runs a little hot. Juice leaking a bit into the air tube and mouthpiece has been my biggest issue, which I have never fully been able to resolve. I've got an EVOD and a Davide Mini on their way to check out as well. It will be interesting to try out and compare all 4 setups on the iTaste, which itself has been a pretty good little piece of equipment so far. I probably need to buy another one, and maybe a lanyard for it. Any suggestions?

The BVCs do not fit in the old Aspire BDC ET tank, only the Nautilus and Nautilus Mini.
These coils are outrageous on flavor. I'm vaping cherry cola, and it feels and tastes like I'm drinking cherry cola.
It's a little overwhelming actually.

 

[erikbal]

I do agree that flavor is excellent out of these coils. I am using a juice I've never had before so it's hard to say how it compares.

That's what I thought too at first, try slowly turning up your voltage/wattage, you'll get lots, with intense flavor. I'm vaping these on a Mini Provari anywhere from 4.2-4.5v.

 

[erikbal]

I've been running mine right around 4.6v. I know they can take more than my MVP can give. That's on a 1.6 ohm coil reading 1.8ohm.

Heard rumors an upgrade to the full size Nautilus is in the works, anyone in the know?

Interested on that as well. I just purchased a regular Nautilus to use with BVC simply because the Mini doesn't hold enough for me but I read that the airflow ring is much better on the mini etc :/ An updated version to match the Mini would be cool

Indoor Smokers has posted his review of the Nautilus Mini

 

[Trypno]

I received my Nautilus Mini yesterday, the airflow control does feel better than the original Nautilus.
I haven't heard any rumors in regards to an upgrade though...

RE: Aspire Nautilus
Considering MyFreedomSmokes is selling them for 15.95 and VaporWorld is selling them for $18.99, I presume it's replacement is on the way.

I'm tempted to order a bunch and selling them on eBay as they are running for almost double that on there.

 

[Trypno]

That's a hell of a deal right there.
I imagine they would just upgrade the base hardware, rather than the tank, so that people who own the Nautilus already could just get the new base hardware.

I am on day 7 with my first BVC in my regular sized Nautilus. I have to say that I really love it so far.

What have you been running for juice? Anything sweet or dark? I'm only on day 3 with my first coil and so far so good. I've been using cotton candy and cheesecake. I'm anxious to see how long they last with unflavored. That seems to prolong coil life by a lot!

I DIY my juice and I am vaping a mixed fruit flavor with low amount of flavoring used. 70/30 blend. It is clear and does tend to run clean. Still, the flavor is just outstanding. Even now on day 7.
