Personally I think there's a good bit of improvement jumping to the nautilus Mini, not to mention airflow control.

I'm not sure the Atlantis is for everyone, especially coming from something like the ET-S that has a tight draw the Atlantis will feel like sucking on a toilet paper tube, even with the airflow on its lowest setting.

Hi guys, thanks much for your advice. I was looking at the Atlantis, but I'm not yet ready to change batteries--I'm still using a couple of recently purchased eCom C-Twist batteries that max out at 10W. I realize the Nautilus is very popular, but at the time I didn't want to shell out a lot of money for a tank. But now I wonder if I should, or would it just be a more expensive version of what I already have.

It prolly doesn't make financial sense--but I'm a sucker for new shiny things--you ought to see my fishing tackle!

Yeah, I feel ya. I'm trying hard to avoid getting into GAS. :D

You buying the et-s for $5.50 with a bvc? Side by side with the same juice same vamo the mini is a lot better vape. Way better air flow, wicks a lot better and recovers twice as fast. You can find the authentic mini online from $25 down just gotta look.

Sounds like you think I should go ahead and pull the trigger on the mini. I think I'm gunna, too.

I use all ET-S as I rotate a lot of different juices and it would cost me a small fortune to buy enough MINI's. If I don't know the difference then I won't miss it. If I tried it I might have to take out a second morgage. Or sell the wife.........Hhhmmmm. I mean sell the wife on the Idea of course. :smokie:

Hi Cowboy192, thanks for the tip. I've heard about drilling out the hole before, but I was afraid to permanently alter things for the worse. So, you think drilling made them perform much better? What drill size did you go with?

Sadly I can't give you a size as it was a random drill bit from my tool box, but it was literally a fraction bigger,( then use a bigger drill bit again to bevel the edge removeing any sharp edge so it doesn't whistle)
I didn't need an actual drill I used a drill bit with some tape wrapped around it and drilled it by hand as the metal is pretty soft, if your worried then drill out one hole and try it, then do the second hole and try again, start small and work your way up, always easier to make the hole bigger, and remove the coil before you do so you don't damage that and also give the base a good wash and wipe after to remove any metal fragments left over
I found a little more airflow made it a smoother draw and also brought out more flavour for me and made it very very close in performance to my nautilus minis
