Thank you for that. They never replied back to me. Well, at least now we know for sure.
Aspire Nautilus has a Chromed Brass chimney.

This is how you advertise real stainless steel. You do get what you pay for.
The kayfun V4 is made from 1.4404 (X2CrNiMo17-12-2), AISI 316L, (V4A) stainless steel. This is an extremely high quality steel, normally used for medical purposes and dental technology.
I don't wrap coils but I might just start as the kayfun V4 will also come with the new Provari P3 threading.

That's a answer but not a good one. The chimney is straight forward, nothing to it really. If SvoeMesto can make a stainless steel chimney why can't they. I'd almost bet the house the Kayfun clones are not close to using the same stainless as SvoeMesto.
My dear friend Tibs just posted this little tidbit in another thread (unrelated to Aspire):
Just sayin'....
lol - and what did all those US vendors do who sold those misrepresented tanks? not much, in my book - if they exerted any kind of pressure it might have led to the v2 but you had to buy all over again
in comparison look at fast tech. when the taifun gt base was found to contain brass last year around this time everybody received an all ss replacement free of charge. i know that for a fact - i received mine
my money goes to fast tech until US vendors stand up for their customers
Just sayin'....
and now it looks as if the brand new atlantis tank will follow in the nautilus' foot steps. it is not confirmed yet but i was promised upon the next refill there will be some scratching 
i prefer the taifun gt - it's on the road atm getting nickel coils
btw bap is very much impressed with the atlantis but if he confirms the plated brass i just don't know

I didn't wrap coils too. But after this chimney thing, I forgot all about Nautilus and Atlantis etc etc and got myself a Kayfun. And it is sooo easy to wrap a coil, wick it, fill it with some juice and just enjoy

I'm going to wait till the kayfun V4 is out as I want to see just how great the new P3 threading is compared to the 510. Gosh another hobby wrapping coils. Not sure if I am there yet.
full tank complete rebuilds can be done in under 15 minutes with some practice.....5 minute rewicks....
I change the coil once a month.
Jump in the water is fine!
OK, so what other brand of tank can everyone recommend as far as working as well as the Aspire Nautilus will? Meaning, does anyone out there make a similar tank that is known to be completely made of stainless steel and glass/pyrex? A friend of mine was just about to sell me an Aspire Nautilus for cheap, but now I am hesitant to take it, yet I read the reviews to be off the charts.
I am also not quite ready to take on making my own coils, so any advice for a tank without brass in it would be greatly appreciated.

how does the manufacturer make an 'error' in the description? 
they know full well what is used in their products but they also know 'all glass and ss' sells much better and allows for a higher price than nickel/chrome plated brass.
they know full well what is used in their products but they also know 'all glass and ss' sells much better and allows for a higher price than nickel/chrome plated brass.I can only tell you what my problem is--can't speak for the others.
1) I have very serious doubts about that non-biodegradable fiberglass/ceramic material in their coils--if those fibers get into one's lungs, they can't be expelled and stay there forever; eventually, a cyst forms around them. My lungs are bad enough after years of smoking. Why take that risk if I don't have to?
2) When I'm told I'm buying stainless steel and I'm paying stainless steel prices, I expect to get stainless steel. I don't like to be taken for a ride. I expect truth in advertising. Silly me.
The Erlkönigin is my favorite but I've only had it 3 days.....EASY PEASY builds and RDA vapor levels....8ml tank....Follow the instructions in the thread on wicking...I got it right first build. (1.2 ohm 8 wrap 30 ga Nichrome.)
The Kayfun lite V2 is what I carry every day with 2 Naughties as back up......
I bought a Ithaka clone just for the heck of it.....If you like to fidget with things its......Well, its different. I'm still working on that and its a PITA to coil up....I've been told once coiled its a 30-40 day no fidget build but I'm not convinced yet. Adjustable everything and they are "old style" (silica wick type.....Trying cotton rope in it right now, Once you go cotton its hard to go back and I've not had any luck with Rayon) So they are getting cheap. Stormys Vaper cellar has them on sale and Fastech carries the clones......
They are out there....I see folks having fun with the Lemo's (new and popular....wait for the newness to wear out as anyone that carries them is sold out.) Orchids are leaky but can be tweaked.....
What I like about all of mine is that 10 bucks buys a year worth of coil wire and wick and I dont have to play Russian Roullette at 2am with my last store bought coil.
IMHO YMMV

I'm using Aerotanks (regular and mini and Emow mega). I'm pretty sure they are ss and glass.
So, I have an update--of sorts. I sent two more emails to Aspire, including one to their CEO Mr. Liu. I also registered on their website and tried to ask a follow up question in their Support-Faq subforum wrt the fiberglass in the coils. My post must have been censored as it never appeared on that thread, but when I checked the thread this morning, to my astonishment, I discovered that Rep. Tina's answer assuring us all about the safety of the "ceramic" used in the BVC coils and the attached PDF file (stating that the material is fiberglass) have both been deleted. So now the thread only contains the old question somebody asked back in August.
Curiouser and curiouser.

I found a cache with one of the responses. From Tina August 13, 2014:
Dear Friend,
Thank you for supporting Aspire.
We use a ceramic fiber which is placed around the heating coil during its construction,which has undergone and passed rigorous SGS certification,and is both nontoxic and heat resistant,This ceramic material is,of course,exclusively researched and developed by the Aspire Company,and is only accessible by our manufacturing company,shenzhen Eigate Technology Co.,Ltd.
We at Aspire value our customer's safety and concern,and welcome these questions to help assure you of our levels of safety and consideration.But,although we work hard to guarantee the safety of our products,we cannot guarantee tthe quality or indeed the safety of the many counterfeit companies who work to imitate our products and materials.Because of this,BVC coils obtained from fake/non-authentic suppliers/manufacturers may be toxic and/or may not be able to endure the high temperatures of the original.So we urge you to please buy smart and buy safe,keep authentic and stay healthy

Thank you!

Anyone got any word on what metals the Nautilus Mini & the K1 are made from? Haven't had a chance to read the whole thread yet and there is no 'thread search' feature on Tapatalk.
Thanks for any help.

I know you are big on FT, but can you can explain this? $23.76 Authentic Aspire Nautilus Mini BVC Clearomizer - 2.0ml / 1.8ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
You can't blame all US vendors.
