Aspire nautilis

[DaveP]

UPDATE: I have finally decide that it's silver solder (the little blob where the legs come off the coil) that's causing the problem with the heads changing resistance and finally popping when they get to 4 ohms and higher. The ones I have are constructed with non-resistive legs soldered right at the end of the coil where the solder gets the most heat. This needs to change or the problem will continue.

I'm getting a day or less from some heads and the ones that last are slowly rising from 2 ohms to over 4 ohms. Once they hit 4 ohms higher voltage just makes for a crummy flavor, but with with decent vapor. It's not HIGH voltage, either. I start around 3.4v on a 2 ohm coil and sometimes hit 4.2v-4.5v as the coil gets to 4 ohms.

Picketed up a naut few days ago do go on my mvp. First atty that came with it lasted 2 fills and a day half before it was toast. On the second fill up of the second one it's going good so far. My friend says he gets 3 weeks out of a naut atty. Going to be twisting my own here soon

Yeah it seems like the first coils never last long but from there its good

I am constantly futzing with my Nautilus. It often requires dry pulls to get smoke juice into the chamber. I have tried everything. I'm not complaining or asking for advice just stating my experience. I use rebuilt cotton coils per RT. They work well....From the thinnest juices to heavier ones I get no consistency off this tank. I think it's just me

I have 15 dead coils on my bench right now....I am a heavy vapor so...I have not had a head last more than 2 days....Most heads are fails at inception....

Gosh that sucks i hope mine isnt the same , i might regret buying this clearo , one thing when did you buy the nautilis , the older ones have a different coil design

Kanger is the same way. I have coils that were purchased last fall and 4 boxes of T3S single coils for my Aerotank Mega that are doing the same thing. OTOH, when I recoil them with 32ga Kanthal they last until they get gunked up, just like normal operation, and the resistance rise is only about 3 tenths of an ohm. Over days a rewind that starts at 2.2 ohms eventually reaches 2.5 ohms. That's fine. The flavor remains stable and the coil can be used for a week if you wash it out and dry burn lightly.

Lightning Vapes and Kidney Puncher sell the hard rubber post insulator grommets. Change those at each recoil and it's all good.

I'ts not just you. I have had ONE head that worked like it should. With all the others, either fail right away or burnt taste every other hit requiring dry pulls. I have had it with this tank. I'm going to go back to my i30s clearos until the Joyetech Delta is available and then get that.

Hopefully the issue that you guys are experiencing with the coils will be corrected very soon. I stocked up in the beginning and so far my coils are great. Be sure to see the last sentence of this post. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...bad-aspire-nautilus-coils-6.html#post13419398

I've been using my nautilus for a few weeks with no trouble. Still on the first coil that came with it. I did buy coils off eBay that are bunk but the seller refunded my money. I noticed if I run dual batteries I get dry/burnt hits. If I put my 18650 back in I have no problems. So I conclude the coils don't wick enough to run dual bats.

Just popping in to say I just got an Aspire Nautilus (earlier today) and I'm blown away. I sure hope I don't encounter any of the problems described here.

Clearos have come a long way, huh? In the past I've had the Protank, Protank 2, Evods, iClear 30, and iClear 30S... but have not (yet) tried any of the Kanger tanks that have air control, and I've never touched an Innokin bottom coil. But all I know is this thing is miles above any of the ones I've tried. Let's hope my coil doesn't die tomorrow.

I've had terrible coil life with Aspire Nautilus and Kanger Aerotank Mega heads lately. I think it's the silicone grommets not providing enough pressure against the wire where it contacts the center pin and outer body. After a few hours of vaping 1.8 ohm coils at 3.4v the resistance starts to rise and I have to crank the voltage in increments to keep the vapor at a decent level. Once it gets to around 4 ohms, the flavor is gone.

I miss the hard grommets. I've inspected a couple of the white silicone grommets with a high power magnifier after failure. What I see is that the wire pressure against them apparently causes them to split and the wire begins to recede into the split in the grommet. Once you begin to lose contact the resistance goes up and the vape quality goes down.

I've had multiple incidents of both brands fail within hours to a day. Several have gone to open. One that I took apart had broken legs close to the coil. I'm beginning to wonder if I 'm getting knockoff heads, although they have the MFG logo on the foil pack. The Kangers have the KangerTech logo on a white box. The Aspire dual coils come in a single foil pack where they have been broken apart from a strip and put into a small ziplock. The logo says Aspire Life Changing.

I read recently on another thread here about that; sounds to me like some factory got 'weld' lost in the translation to 'solder'

I only vape about an hourand ahalf a day so would this tank last me longer? Than 2 weeks ? I usually vape 30 mind in the morning and 30 after lunch and 30 before bed?!?

That doesn't sound so bad; I'm guessing a coil could last you a week or few at that rate;
I need to change my protank coils after a few days.

CAREFUL! Be sure of who you're ordering/buying from. There are fake Aspire Nautilus's out there that look almost exactly like the real deal. They're even faking the coils. You can tell if they are fake Aspire coils by the packaging, for now. In an authentic Nautilus replacement pack, the coils are in their own individual foil packages, that are connected to the other packages with perforations, similar to a box of otc pills. If they come in a plastic container, they're fakes

I haven't ordered any coils for my 2 Nautilus tanks yet. Bought some from the local vape store here and they worked just fine. Watched him pull them out of the box for me. I usually get about 3 weeks out of a child and I vape pretty consistently all day. Love the Nautilus setup on my MVP 2.0 as well!

My tanks are authentic and the coils I ordered came in the right package (with the foil on back and code). But found the new coils didn't work as well as the coils that shipped in the box lol. Most people found the opposite.

The cost of the coils has come down over time, but still would only get maybe 5 days tops with the juice I use. They are sitting in their boxes (2) without use for pffft at least a month probably more with some juice left in the tanks. I may break them out and give one more go before I give them away or sell them.

A simple carto tank has been my best vape so far along with an EHPro kayfun lite plus v2.

I would try not using autocorrect because vaping a child, especially for three weeks, sounds unhealthy for both parties involved. Sorry. I couldn't help myself. No offense intended. lol

Has anyone seen or own a Nautilus tank assembly with hollowed out sleeve? Looks like it might provide some protection for the glass tank? Has anyone had any experience with these?

You mean like a metal tank? Yes i have

Yes like a metal tank but with a lattice look appearance. Looks like it could could provide protection like a full metal tank while still able to see juice level
