Ok guys I was one of the people when I have been hearing all the hype about these coils heads and the material used/way the coils made, to not really care. But I honestly think I was getting pieces of the nautilus mini's prebought coil in my mouth. that ceramic wick crap. I have been using the same coil for about 5 days as of now and the coil is still doing fine it doesn't taste like its ready to change as far as flavor, but omg I keep getting this scratchy sensation in my throat from the fine particles of peices of that coil coming off and up threw the tank. I am not one to play jokes folks, this is real talk. I even got proof that it aint in my head because I pulled a couple small pieces out of my darn mouth and looked at them and it is that same look as the coils heads material. I still have junk in my throat. I have been drinking water to clear it out. hopefully not much got in my lungs but I could almost bet my throat didn't catch it all and there are probably a few pieces in my lungs..no joke. I have a piece stuck in my throat right now, it doesn't hurt just annoying..Im not in pain or anything I was just worried a big piece was going to get in my lungs and cause me trouble so I said screw it and im throwing that coil head in the trash. I have one left and I honestly don't know if I want to use that tank or coil system anymore... such a fail..the aspire nautilous tank for me has been the 1 winner beating the aerotank for flavor in my opinion with an awesome vaping experience but the coil head causing me trouble has just ruined that for me.

I posted this to warn you mini nautilus users. I don't want one of you to take a big lung drag and be hacking. Im sure i have that crap everywhere in my system honestly folks..

sorry for the crappy grammer with such a long post, I just wanted to get this posted on ECF like asap and see if I get any hits from anybody else..

Also, I take pretty hard lung hits on the mini nautius, so I mean I do take hard drags on it so I mean I can see why someone who is just mouth to lunging might not have as much trouble but jeez still not worth it..

I might try this one last coil and see what happens..and keep you updated maybe.. but I think afterwards either way I won't take the risk no more I am just going to invest in the subtank mini or a RTA.

wow.

thoughts folks? :closedeyes:

I don't really know how to respond to this post other than say contact Aspire.

I am not doubting your story, but if what you say is true, why on earth are you still using it?

Also lung hitting a mini Nautilus is like sucking a watermelon through a straw. You must have been a Dyson DC59 in a previous life.

.... or the Aspire Atlantis, KangerTech Subohm or JoyeTech Delta II.

Although I do lung hit on my Nautilus (with BVC's) at 18 watts, no problem.



How the hell do you vape the nautilus at 18 watts?

I have to vape my nautilus mini @ 10 watts. Anything over 13 watts and it tasted BURNT

50/50 juice & wide bore drip tip (flavor dependent).

This is Matt (from Suck My Mod) vaping a mini Nautilus on an rDNA30.

Unless your still using early runs of the bvc's your not getting ceramic pieces. Aspire has changed the wicking material to cotton. I took a couple apart over the weekend both nauti and atlantis. There is no ceramic material in either. The first bvc I took apart initially had ceramic and when handled would fall apart. I still use both tanks regularly with no issue.

Well I just haven't experienced such problems with it before, but I also never vaped on it like I have been lately. You can do a slow lung draw on it though, its not real airy, but it can be done.. i did it..

as far as why am I still using it, I love the way it vapes and kept using it to c if it was just juice spitback but I could have swore it was more than juice spitback.. I love the way it produces vapor, its an excellent vapor chucker for a small tank as well. I love the vape off of it basically. I hope that answers you question.

I've used nautilus coils since I started vaping six months ago. I've never got any particulate of any type come out of the drip tip. This seems very odd. Did you check the authenticity of your coils?

Theres no need to check authinticity on these coils because the shop I get them from I know all the guys there and they don't sell clones of any type. They sell the real products and very very few clones.. so there coils are most likely real as well.. on the other hand I will ask them to make sure they are real next time I am in the shop, although I can almost guarantee that these coils are legit aspire coils..

It's not pieces of the coil, it's the gunk buildup on your coil from your juice that has developed on your coil.....try changing the coil and if it does it the next day or two later with the new coil you might try a lighter juice...

I have been using a 70/30 blend of juices which are a little on the thicker side.. 70 VG that is. So yeah the juice is quite thick. Although the stuff that I pulled out of my mouth two different times looked like material. You might be right though maybe the coil was just used up from getting heated up so much??? I was vaping at 10 -13.5 watts mainly closer to 13.5 watts most of the time and I chain vaped her too (Im bad about that). With 5 days of use I guess it would be time to change. But still. I have never had no such problem out of something like my kanger aerotank. it user silica though.. I am kind of scared of cotton as well in the subtanks, even though I want one so bad. The reason is because cotton is really flaky too if you handle it so much. You can tell me people don't ever get a little cotton or whatever in there mouth or throat while vaping. They might not even know it but I am sure its a possibility.

Thanks for your support :)

I will ask the guys at my local shop about the change in material used in these coils. Hopefully one of them will be knowledgeable enough to know if the ones they are carrying are the new ones or not. It would interesting to me to know anyways. Thanks.

Cotton clumps together when wet. The only way cotton could be dangerous is if it dries out while you are vaping. This is called a dry hit. Not something you want to do and if you do get a dry hit, it is a very good idea to change it. You will taste the burnt cotton after filling if it does not get changed out.

Cotton needs to have liquid dripped on it after going into the coil (priming) before even firing the coil for the first time after wicking.

I'm thinking that cotton will not flake off while in use, if used properly.

As far as teflon? Kinda scary stuff. Over a certain temperature it degrades and the fumes are dangerous. I guess if your coil does not go above 500 degrees you're safe. Do we know how hot our coils get? I sure don't.

There's a mistake right there, are you the vape shop owner, are you the one who is sourcing the coils directly from Aspire? If you can't unequivocally answer yes to those two questions then "knowing the guys" means absolutely nothing as far as authenticity.

I'm not saying your vape shop is out to defraud you by knowingly selling you counterfeit coils. They have to get them from somewhere, are they getting them directly from Aspire? If not then they only have the word of the supplier they source from that they are authentic. Then does that supplier get them directly from aspire? If not and they go through an importer then they only have the word of the importer that they are authentic.

See where I'm going, it's fairly easy to spot counterfeit/clone mods and such, less easy to spot counterfeit batteries and not impossible but near to on things like coils. There's only three ways to insure authenticity, #1 check the scratch off code (though I'm still not convinced this is secure), #2 Buy directly from the manufacturer or #3 build them yourself.

You local B&M people may be the most salt of the earth honest folks to cross the horizon this millennium but they are at the mercy of who they get the products from. Now if it's a mega-mart vape shop that is the size and scope of Wal-Mart they may in fact be getting their stuff directly from the manufacturer but likely they get it from a 3rd party. Everybody wants to make money so whos to say that somewhere along the line someone doesn't get counterfeit gear and sell it as authentic with an authentic price. Follow the money.....

The place I purchased these coils from was Vapor Bank. They are the biggest wholesaler/retailer (something like that) in the Tri-state around here in indiana, kentucky,illinois. I beleive those are the 3 states, hence tri-state. But anyways, they are probably the people I would trust most out of these 3 states around this area because they are just like you had mentioned, something like a walmart of the vape shop industry... They have multiple locations. I see where you are going though, and you have every right to acknowledge me of your thoughts. Which is fine by me.

Now on to something a little more off topic just because I feel like I should bring it up..The aspire nautilus mini I am using is a clone.. but I knew this from the get-go..I bought it for 10$ cheaper than the real aspire nautilus setup from a local place. But the coils I am buying are from vaporbank.com, and I do believe they are the real coils..But yes my tank is a clone, but obviously I am using/hope and wish I am using the real coils for the real aspire mini. I only purchased this clone because I was short on cash and it was readily available a block down the street from where I was currently at the day that I purchased the clone.
(just thought I would throw this paragraph in) I don't think the clone is made any different as far as it looks compared to the real one, so I don't really see the clone tank being the issue here. (again, that i why I tossed this paragraph in in the first place because I do use a clone tank).

Like you had said though, this could be very true that these coil be counterfeit. I cannot honestly check as of right now because I don't always buy 5 packs and get the box they come in I buy them in singles or 2 or 3 at a time so I just get the single little packages, no box..with that being said, there no authenticity on these little prepackaged coils (1 coil in a single foil covered package). I would be more than welcome to check authenticity on these coils but as of right now I don't have that ability to do so.

So..where do we stand? I am going to still give my other coil that I have a shot here soon and for everybodys sake I might as well keep you all updated on where this new coil stands.. Maybe it breaks down over length of time used? I don't know. I will test it and see what results I get day by day. I will use it until I can't use it anymore. each day I will take lung hits under my tongue so that the bottom of my tongue/bottom of my mouth should catch any debrise if it did fly off like I suggested that I swore it did on the last coil. I prefer this method while testing instead of just trying to chuck something right into my lung lol.

Will keep this thread updated guaranteed.

later.
