Aspire Nautilus 2

[SteveS45]

That wasn't never the case with me. I'm heavily addicted to nicotine still. The truth is I am starting to use lower nicotine like a 6 for less than a .5 coil and soon will use 12mg in my nautilus 2. I used to use 24mg-18mg in my nautilus and level 12 for .5 coil or less.

How long has it been since you were a smoker? I was at least a PAD Marlboro Red smoker for almost 40 years and during those years it was 2 packs a day at times. Also if you do not mind how many ML's a day do you vape? because some days I can vape 30-40 MLs and others less depending on where and what I am up to.

I smoked Marlboro Reds 100's for 5 years a pack a day. When I drip I use about 20ml a day. When I use the Cloud Beast tank I use about 10-15 ml a day.

 

[SteveS45]

Well how long has it been since you quit? Depending on how you vape depends on how much you actually absorb and there are times I have to hold in my hits to make less cloud so I could be absorbing more of the nicotine. But that is regardless because all that matters is you are happy and aren't smoking!

Yes thank you. The truth is that I would never go back to cigarettes either way. I have a deep disgust for them for every reason you name it. I was off cigarettes for 3 years and been vaping since with the exception of once day I smoked about 7 cigarettes and this was about 2 years ago.

I just tried the .7 coil for the first time on the Nautilus 2 and it's so much better. For a mouth to lung hit tank I think you get more vapor than most others with this coil.

 

[SteveS45]

Going to be keeping my eyes open for my supplier getting them in stock. Is the .7 BVC Kanthal coil?

I think it's kanthal. I know that it's called BVC also and it's the same shape and size as the other coils for the Nautilus and Nautilus 2.

 

[EIHYPI]

It's suggested up to 23 watts. I had mine at 20. The coil read a perfect .7 on my target mini.

 

[e-pipeman]

Just got mine and am vaping at 8.7 watts using the 1.8 coil (it came fitted with the 0.7 but it's easy to swap out if you remove the glass before filling). Using 2.5 air holes and using 9mg Liqua Blueberry this is a vape that suits me down to the ground. I'm very impressed.

 

[Deepwinter]

I got a black Nautilus 2 I'm still using the .7 coil at between 18 and 23 watts using .6mg 70/30.
Vaping wise for MTL it's a nice vape good flavour.

However theres a few things I really don't like and theres a few things I really love.
So the airflow adjustment is excellent it gives you almost infinite control over the airflow I generally go with 3.5 holes open.

Filling the tank is not as easy as it should be and imo was not very well thought out, I think they sacrificed usability for looks.
To open the tank it can be very difficult there is no knurling on the bottom airflow ring it's very slippery to open and the tank is stiff for the first compete 2 turns, it's not like some threads were once you break the initial bit it can spin easily. the nautilus 2 is tight for at least 2 full turns.

Ive had to use a vape band on the air flow section in order to get enough grip to open it.
Anyone with any diminished capabilities in there hands, arthritis or doesn't have allot of squeeze or hand strength will struggle with this tank.

Iv'e also had an issue when closing the tank because the last couple of turns are so stiff that when it came time to take the N2 off my Mod it was stuck tight on to my Smok AL85 because I had to twist it so hard to close the tank, and again this took me 30mins to get it off my AL85 eventually having to break down the tank putting the vape band on eventually I managed to get it off my mod.

These problems can be avoided by modifying your approach somewhat, but it makes the whole process more difficult than it should be.

When you do get the top off and you want to fill this can cause more issues, unlike the Cleito coils for example where the threads are at the top and the coil protrudes from the top of the glass.
The Nautilus 2 has a coil that is shorter and is below the top of the galss and the threads are not at the top of the coil there is a section of knurling at the top under that are the threads.
I have found if you fill your tank up to the knurling you will get some leaking,
The best I've been able to do is to fill the tank half way up the threads doing this I don't get leaking but thats only half filling the tank.

So all in all I think when it comes to actually vaping it gives you a nice vape, but filling the Nautilus 2 and dealing with all the difficulties puts me off especially because you cant even fill the tank up to the top like the Cleito for example.

The Nautilus 2 does take the Triton Mini coils so again from the actual vape standpoint it gives you plenty of options and a nice vape.

I just wish Aspire worried a little bit more about usability and a little less about how it looks.

I learnt the hard way when getting into the habit of twisting things too tight. I believe that the more you use the tank you won't have to send issues.

From the start I had an issue where I pulled the glass up to change the coil but the thick o'ring didn't let the glass move and the air flow ring popped off. So I learnt you need to twist the glass off. All these minor disturbances go away the more you get used to using your tank.

Hopefully your right and it will get easier, but when I compare my experience with the Cleito, I feel left wanting Aspire could have made it great where atm imo I feel like it gives a great vape and looks good, but all the hassle dealing with it will deter me from using it as much as my Cleito which in comparison suffers from none of the short comings the Nautilus 2 does.
Im disappointed in Aspire because they hit it out of the park with the Cleito and made it even better by adding the RTA and 5ml bubble tank, which I love given that, my standards are pretty high for Aspire.

I'd love to hear from someone who has the Nautilus mini and how it compares, given they use the same coils I'd imagine the vape is almost the same but without the unfortunate quirks of the N 2 atm I'm seriously considering getting a mini.

 

[e-pipeman]

I'm a great Nautilus Mini fan and have several. I have never had one leak - but as noted above the Nautilus 2 does. I can't fill it more than about half full without leakage. The vape quality is marginally better with the 2 imho, but there's not a lot in it. The Mini is reliable and has not caused me problems. It does seem to use coils a little more quickly than the 2, however.

 

[Jingles]

My Nautilus 2 doesn't leak at all and I fill it almost to the top of the glass. I like the nautilus 2 much better than the nautilus mini mainly because of the airflow. It's a nice smooth, quiet vape. Yes, it does give my arthritic hands trouble getting it apart to refill, but so far I have managed.

 

[Asbestos4004]

My first day owning this Nautilus 2. About to vape after getting Dunkin D.

Looks huge on that tiny lil thang

 

[BreSha6869]

One negative I have found with the Nautilus 2 is that the top can be very hard to screw off on a box mod or non tube mod (like a Provari).

Refilling on my wife's Provari P3 is simple but refilling on her Sigelei Swallowtail (rounded top, kinda egg shaped) is a complete PITA as it is hard to get a grip on the base.

Beyond that, her two Nautilus 2's have worked great. She does prefer the refilling on her Triton Minis though....

That's what I noticed with my Nautilus 2 is the top cap unscrews hard.....you have to hold the little base and unscrew.......I stick my thumb nail into the recess

where the air flow is and that helps me hold it .....but the thing works good after you get it full..........lol

 

[thetrucker]

Just for the fun of it......I took my coil from my original Nautilus and drilled it out all 4 holes......and then stuck a tooth pick into 2 opposing holes and cut off the

exposed wood and stuck small screwdriver in thru the other 2 holes horizontally and put a 28 guage coil in and put the bottom grommet and removed the screwdriver

I then rolled up a little cotton and slid it through and cut off the excess and it seems to work pretty good for a single horizontal coil........it says .80 ohms on my

provari.................no dry hits and no leaking..........my Red Hot Cinnamon and Cool menthol coming thru loud and clear...........lol.....
