Hmm haven't seen anyone post about this one yet, or if they have I guess I missed it. It's basically a new clearomizer sized tank with a glass body that also uses the Aspire BVC coils. I'm going to order one to try out since I like smaller tanks. Anyone try these out yet?

I was going to order one, but after getting a whole pack of the new BVC coils that leaked and gurgled I think I'm going to stick with my Kanger clearos. Flavor isn't as good, but at least they work.

Though I have my Kanger mini and evods... I found with a little extra effort on my part...
by sticking a little transparent scotch over one of the 4 holes on the tank that it
takes a couple of minute or two of sipping on my drip tip... to prime the ciearimizer
then I get the best of the best from these new Aspire BVCs... Flavor is fantastic... and the clouds pour out.

One of the reasons the new Aspire BVCs vape so well has to do with the two holes at the
bottom contact pin which lets a vortex of air be created that allows air to fully swirl
as it passes entirely around
the vertical coil...

Yeah, you recommended that in another thread. I tried the tape and it got rid of the gurgling for a while. However I was getting a weird burnt chemical taste and smell after putting the tape on the head. Not sure putting tape on something you're heating up and inhaling vapor from is the best idea. Then after a few hours it started gurgling and leaking a little bit again.

Ah I wondered what those 2 holes at the bottom were for. Makes sense. I'm still using the first BVC coil that came with my Nautilus mini. Not really sure when I ought to toss it and put in a new one. This one still works but I can't tell how much the quality has dropped off, although I know it definitely has by some degree. I'm the type of person who will use something until it noticeably craps out, right now it still works fine but probably not as great as it first did obviously. I have rinsed it out a bunch of times though and I'm not a heavy vaper.

Those prices at ecigpens are pretty good, but Sweet-Vapes has the same price on the Aspire K1 glassomizer, and a $1 cheaper price on replacement Aspire BVC head 5-packs.

Aspire BVC Coils

I think basic shipping and handling charges at Sweey-Vapes is about $3. I'm not sure about ecigpens, but they can't be much cheaper. My overall experience with Sweet-Vapes has been good. I've ordered quite a bit from them in recent weeks. All their stuff is stated as genuine, which it appears to be so far. Good ship speed.

I've not tried the K1 yet, or the new Aspire BVC heads for Aspire BDC devices, but I think I'll try them out soon. The few reviews out there so far have been good. I would try a 1.6 ohm head, as the 1.8 ohm BVC heads in the Mini Nautilus needed 4.2 or more volts to work well, and even more volts to really work well. My 800mah iTaste v3 batteries don't last that long at such high power output levels, and all my other devices are 3.7 volt (average) output batteries which don't run the 1.8 ohm Nautilus BVC heads very well at all. Other toppers performed better in comparison for those lower power output devices, like the Kanger BSC EVOD, or the 2.1 ohm iClear 16 TDC (my personal favorite - though the hotter running 1.8 ohm DC heads in those are good too).
 
I have the kangertech mini and the aspire mini, sorry your coils leaked. My kangertech was my go to mini until the Aspire Nautilus mini. I too, felt the same way you do but I read a little about the Nautilus BVC before I chucked it. You need to prime that coil good. I would have a burnt coil taste for at least an hour before it started performing great. It was frustrating. What I was doing wrong was not priming correctly. Now when I put a BVC in the Aspire mini, I turn the airflow to basically where you can even pull a puff with the battery off. I dry pull very hard quite a few times and then I turn on the battery and pull again with the airflow real hard to pull. This allows the liquid to saturate the coils. After that I'm good to go. The Aspire mini has been getting some bad reviews here and there but v it's GREAT, AMAZING, once you have the coils saturated with the liquid. I think you may have gotten a beat set of coils because mine have yet to leak. I hope this helps.

These look fantastic, and honestly I feel like they will be a better go-to at the 6$ to 9$ range of minis (instead of the mini PT3). BVC's make a big difference. Looking at a lot of the images of the K1 though, it looks like the assembly might not be stainless, just the drip tip. Wonder what the assembly is made of?

I picked up a couple of K 1's to try new flavors after reading about them on another thread.
The K 1 with authentic (I have gotten 2 packs now of really bad coils that were not actually made by Aspire) BVC coils really does as well as my Nautilus'. It does go through the juice pretty quick which seems to be the experience I have had with BVC coils, but the taste and vapor are worth it to me. I am not a fan of the K 1's filling process and if I actually like a flavor it will be gone through in no time, but for a small, inexpensive tank it packs a lot of flavor and is well worth the purchase.

I decided to try the K1 and I'm really liking it. Great flavor and vapor, and is a nice looking little clearo. Draw is pretty good, though I'd prefer it was just slightly looser. I originally got a Mini Davide with the intention of using Kanger coils in it, but figured I'd try one of the BVC coils in since I had bought a couple packs of them. They worked great in the Davide, pretty sure the metal plate in the bottom of the tank slows wicking enough to keep the BVC coils from leaking/gurgling. Was looking at pics of the K1 and it looked like the metal structure around the coil would cover 2 of the holes in the coil head and limit wicking, so gave it a try. It appears I was right, no leaking and just the occasional mild gurgling. I even took the leaking coils out of the ET-S and Vivi Nova-S and put them in the Mini Davide and K1 and they worked fine. So it doesn't appear I got bad coils, they just wick way too much in the BDC clearos.
