Disassemble everything. There is a pressure seal which includes a TOP cap 0-ring that if it gets dislodged or missing, bad things will happen. It's not easily noticed, honestly, I only noticed mine when the husband accidentally dislodged his. It's not always very well seated and easy to lose. That's about all I can think of, given what you are describing. Make sure your orings on the drip tip are there too. Good luck.

Try watching this: you tube demonstration of nautilus 2 tank all o rings - Bing video

If it's not clear enough, I'd do a search on youtube for a review/demo of your product, which should show you all the moving parts. I'm afraid all my N2s now belong to my husband and I'm not really comfortable taking his apart so I can take a picture for you.

There may also be a diagram card inside your tank which shows it disassembled I can't remember. You should have gotten spare 0-rings with your tank.

Good luck,

Anna

Okay so yesterday i inspected the o rings and i noticed that 2 of them were missing, one on part where the top cap is threading to base and the other is inside of top cap where chimney meets the coil, i placed them where they should go and i noticed that threading went much more fluid. At first there was flooding and i tought that was good sign but as gurguling stopped there it goes again...nasty taste and no wicking at all. It wick only if i unscrew top cap than a lot of bubbles come out of coil and it gets flodded. I'll be tossing this thing away because o ring were my last hope... Can someone recommend good mtl tank? What do you think about siren 2 by digiflavor?

I don't know the Siren 2 as even after 4 years of vaping I'm not yet into building my own coils but I've recently bought an Innokin Zenith which for ease of use beats the Nauti 2 hands down and is, for me, a very good MTL vape. I've not really had too many problems with the Nauti 2 (apart from finding it messy to refill) but much prefer the Zenith and will be getting a second one. There's a thread about it here if you want to investigate it. :)

Thank you for your suggestion :) i will be moving to rebuildables because i like to have more control of coil, but i will look up Zenith too :)

I have a Siren V2. I love it, velocity style deck that traps coils, very easy to build. The airflow is adjustable to a point, but it can be rather airy for a MLT tank. Airier than some other RTAs, but you can get a MTL hit. Some complain of flavor being muted, I haven't found that to be the case in either the 22 or 24 mm versions (I have both) but I use strong, fruit flavors in it, and I think that is where it shines best.

Very easy first RTA to get up and running though. That's a tiny bit of the good, bad and ugly. It has it's own thread if you want to investigate further.

zdravo Flavoor. Sorry to hear you've been having so much stress with the Nautilus 2. The stock coils I got in the kit held up for the best part of a month. We're talking 23 W on the 0.7 ohm one for example. But maybe yours had some QC issues. Hard to explain away. It sounds like you were doing everything right.

In terms of rebuildables, at the moment you've got some pretty good options. Siren 2, Berserker, a Kayfun Prime clone either by SXK or YFTK (I have the latter and it's a good vape), maybe the Cthulhu Hastur as well.

Easiest build is IMO Siren 2. I would have recommended the Ares RTA but the version I got whistles something bad. The Berserker has a deck which is very reminiscent of a Kayfun and both these types take a lot of trial and error to get just right. The Prime has juice flow control which I'm still learning to use properly. So it comes down to how much patience you have vs how easily you want a good result.

Thank you for information I will think i will go with siren 2 because of easy build and because of good flavor. Im just interested in it's wicking, because it wicks from top. I wonder if i have low liquid amount in tank but i want to totally use it so i can put another liquid after it,will it wick properly or i need to refill everytime it gets on low juice amount in tank?

On the Siren 2? If you leave your wicks long (touching the deck) you can pretty much vape it - at low wattages - until dry. That's the beauty of the Genesis-style deck. Although your coils and cotton will thank you if you refill before then ;)
I will refill it sooner than, better safe than sorry haha
