Aspire Nautilus gurgling and leaking!

I have several and they work so good as far as problems. But, flavor is just a lot better for me with the Nautilus BVC.
Anyway, I posted yesterday about my next testing steps and I cleaned a tank last night. So, this morning I made sure that all parts went together with some firmness. I closed the air hole as a new consideration. I filled the tank, put the bottom back on and turned it over and say the air bubble. Because It was a clean coil, I just let gravity get the juice into the coil for a minute. I put the tank onto the MOD, opened the air hole and took a small vape. It leaked out of the air hole. So, disassembly/assembly is not the problem.
Next tank will get a 3rd party BVC coil. Anyway, I blew through the tip with a paper towel and things are fine. I just have to wait for another tank to empty.
Using a BVC coil that didn't come with the Nautilus and there is no flooding or gurgling.
I had the same problem with Frenchfry1942, and that is with the original nautilus, then I got fed up and purchased a clone to test it out..the problems seems to be the same but lesser on the clone. The last resort was I guessed that the top part where the threading is does not seat properly with the center post therefore creating leaks into the tube while vaping..it gets so bad that it leaked thru and down out from the air hole. The concept is actually its like plumbing...but for plumbing they will have to put the white tape over the threading then screw it on and will make it leak proof on the pipes. For this since its so small I do not use the white tape but what i use is silicone grease..just a very very small amount on to the bvc head threadings bottom part and top part only and not out to the part where it gets contact with eliquid (or not you will be vaping part liquid and part silicone which is not good). After applying the bottom threads i screw it to the base. Then i will apply to the top of the bvc head threads, fill in and screw them down, aligning them properly..I have been doing this each time i fill them and the gurgling is gone and will only have some minimal gurgling sometimes but just a few puff then let it sit for few minutes, its gone...hope this will help some of you who has very bad gurgling...cheers
This is an old thread, but I've heard the same story many times here. So does anyone think that Kanger or Aspire has marketing people who start threads like this? Or is it just new vapers that don't know what they're doing? It's most likely just that the people who post are the ones who have the problems and those of us who just vape away happily just read this stuff and think...glad it's not me. I've been happily vaping away for 6 months now and haven't had any problems that I need to share or gripe about. But I want to say that I've read a LOT of posts here so maybe I've avoided the pitfalls of vaping.
BUT, I almost bought a Nautilus when everyone around here was loving the new BVC and now it seems all I hear is bad news. I'm almost tempted to buy one off of the classifieds (if people post them reasonably for once) just to see what the hell is going on. Until then I'll just puff away on my Aerotank V2 and be happy even tho I've read all kinds of bad stuff on kanger tanks also.
I thnk that people just like to complain

I find people either have zero problems with the nautilus or constant problems. Rarely is there someone who has an occasional problem. Personally I fall into the latter category and just tossed the ....ing thing out. Oh well. lol
I had problems with my nautilus for a week or so i think it may have been bad coils or i was just that much of a noob at that point now i have no ploblems with it and im using 80% vg in it now
I've been vaping forever, so there is no newbie factor, and I only wished I worked for somebody right now! Nope, just an ordinary peep who was the recent receiver of a full sized Aspire nautilus, so complaining wasn't on the agenda, just looking for help. It was a gift from a bud I live with, and he ordered one too. His is perfect, mine has issues. The first half tank is awesome, after that, sporadic issues galore... leaking flooding burning, you name it. Tried every fix I've read about, but no luck, so I get to use half a tank and refill. Funny thing is, we got it for it's capacity, and can't use it. Luck of the draw with assembly line production I guess, but it sucks and really pisses me off that no one wants to be accountable and the consumer eats the loss. I have a slew of "work arounds", but for what it cost him, it should just freaking work, period. If you don't get that, well...'nuff said!
Thank you!! Was having issues with my full size as well and just put it down. Have an RMA to return it, but tomorrow will try some of the things I've read here to see if they help. Love the flavor and the capacity, but I want to fill and vape. So for now have just gone back to my aspire bdc. Love this thing.
Late in the game here, but I found this thread looking and hoping for answers on as to why this thing isn't performing as well as all the raves say it does! After reading through all these replies, I've decided to clean mine out and move it to my vape equipment graveyard. *sigh* What a disappointment.
Get an old coil, remove the little white rubber seal from it, place that seal at the top of the threads on the other side of the new coil, screw coil into base, screw base into tank. When you remove for refilling you'll have to readjust seal. There is a YouTube video that shows you how to do this but the forum won't let me post links.
